Fantastic sophomoric effort

"I don't want to make dresses that will date. I've always been about clever buying."

True to her "name," Posh has done it for the second season in a row. Classic silhouettes that are clean and sophisticated yet still have a modern edge. Nothing's over-the-top yet everything makes a statement; a classic, elegant, beautifully executed statement. Is it too obvious that I'm fan?

I hope someone (a fabulous someone) wears one of the floor length gowns to the Oscars.

Fall 09 looks fun

This lady makes me wish I had a head full of curls and enough nerve to wear a fur. There's so much to read on fashion week it's exhausting. NY Mag is offering full screen views of the shows which makes it a lot easier to pick and choose your imaginary choices for fall.

Here are a few of my favorites thus far:

Derek Lam


Ruffian - The "black point d'esprit body stockings" were worn under everything... I want one.


Diane Von Furstenberg - I had a few favorites.

Yigal Azrouël

James Coviello - LOVE the blue dress.

Isn't it fun to daydream?

Road signs

For all those times you've had a case of road rage, wouldn't you have loved to have had one of these?

Tweeting

I don't do the twitter thing. One day my boss asked me if I ever "twittered" and I would give anything to see the look on my face when I said, "Excuse me?!?" But honestly I just don't understand the point of wanting other people to know your each and every move. Unless it's someone tweeting from the tents in Bryant Park for the next week. The Cut has a twitter feed that already has amazing stuff like:

Tim Gunn is doing HeartTruth intro; person sitting next to us says, "Can I just tell you, his Guide to Style show saved my life"

HA! At least this will amuse me for the next week.

For the birds

When I started this blog back in October I did a post on feather headbands. Well, I finally got around to making my headband. I'm pretty proud of it since it cost under $5 to make. Here's the feather-ed one next to a plain one.


This shop has some serious ones, the best ones I've found online. Oh and of course here. Those are fantastic but a little out of my price range.


I'd like to make one like this but I'm afraid I'd look ridiculous with it on.

Hello, lover

Kate Spade has some super cute V-Day cards to send to your one and only this year.

It's just a nervous tick.

Everyone's talking about this bizarre interview today.

Because I'm Chuck Bass

I just ordered this.

WTF

Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams are engaged? The guy that once dated Parker Posey is now engaged to the girl that sang, "You know who you are. You're love's as sweet as candy. I'll be forever yours. Love always, Mandy."

I just don't know if I want to go Magnolia Mountain anymore.

For the love of a coat

Today I decided to venture into the mall. It really wasn't a great idea but I needed some black flats. I ended up getting these.

So as I was leaving the mall I decided to venture into Banana to check out the sales. Nothing too exciting caught my eye until I spotted this trench coat.


It's a beautiful, classic silhouette with big black buttons that make a slight statement. I swooned over it enough to come to the conclusion that I would have definitely purchased it if I had a job. So as I sadly moved on to the jewelry markdowns a young guy came in, probably 30 or so, and immediately asked the sales girl if they had the coat in a small. They did and he said he'll take it and he wanted a box. So of course, as any curious young sales girl would be she asked, "Valentine's day gift?" and he responded with, "Yeah, I saw it in Marie Claire has a 'must have' for the season so I knew she'd love it." I mean really? What boyfriend sees something like that and just goes and buys it? They asked him if he wanted a gift receipt when he bought and he said, "No, we've been together for 6 years, I know she'll like it." UGH!!! I was bewildered. Noble has given me great gifts over the years but this just struck me. I mean for one, what guy checks out the seasons "must haves" in Marie Claire and on top of that doesn't want a gift receipt because they're so sure that she'll love it? And it's Wednesday! He's already getting her a gift 4 days before Valentine's!

Maybe he was gay. Whatever the case, I need to figure out a way to get that coat.
