Ah to be rich and adorned in gorgeous things. Sometimes I think of all those people who’ve got lots and lots of money and bad taste to go with it. Paris Hiltons and lesser Paris Hiltons of the world. You all make me so sad. I’ve never seen Paris Hilton in Elie Saab. Actually my…

You know. Things that look good.
Death and Glory. And deadlines.
When I was 15, my friend Jessica and I decided we would make lists of things we’d like to do before we died. I really wish I had taken better care of that because I think I’ve done about half the list already! It’s actually on my livejournal, I just haven’t written in that in…
Ladies, Gentlemen, Please!
I see an 86 year old woman every other day. I’m her companion, so that means I get in, sit down, ask about her day, and then we try to have an organic, stimulating conversation for two hours. It’s great, really. And the nice thing is that we can sit and talk about fabrics, patterns,…
I decided to skip the month of February. AND GALLIANO. DIOR. FIRED.
I decided to skip the month of February. Because for all intensive purposes, it’s the worst one. That’s why it’s the shortest. And all the best months have 31 days instead of 30. Including this month! Which is the chosen month for celebrating my birth. And NO, February isn’t the worst month because of Valentine’s…
Mary Katrantzou Spring/Summer 2011
My new job has done much to open me up to the wonderland that is interior design. My new job… that I am so proud of that has finally turned me into both a proper member of the labor market and a proper Big Girl. But that’s all besides the point. I just want to…
Suit Suit: Inspiration from Yves Saint Laurent. It’s Le Smoking!
The Economist did an article -or piece– (Haha) on the suit. Earlier this month, the suit reached its 150th anniversary. The suit! So official, serious, foreboding. It is an integral part of the professional mask so many ladies and gentlemen wear. It is something I may be needing more of on account of my fancy…
Zany, Moschino, Zany
I like big polka dots. They conjure images of Minnie Mouse, the fashion splash of the 60s, Dalmatians. Really, all things I like. I like big stripes. They conjure images of the jail burdened, the flag, heaps of ribbon, the french, boats in general! Which is why I was ecstatic to see so much of…
A Distant Dream
Recently it’s been very rainy. This, I can deal with. In fact, I enjoy the rain. I think it’s romantic, satisfying, pacifying…Soon we will have snow, which terrifies me. I’m late, since fashion week was in September, but at times when the future seems so icy and snowy, turning to the sweetness of spring for…

I have decided that my favorite 2011 Spring Summer collection goes toooooooooo: CARVEN Mostly for self-centric reasons, Carven has created my most perfect spring/summer wardrobe! Everything in this collection is exactly what I would wear. What I and every other girl in the world should! I…
My favorite Isreali
I won’t mention Lanvin again, I promise. But isn’t he so charming? “It wasn’t about Lanvin going lower priced; it was about H&M going to the luxury business,” he insists. “A friend of mind told me that every time she wears a Lanvin dress, a man falls in love with her, and I thought, ‘Wow…
