[Diane von Furstenberg scarf + Alexander Wang t-shirt + vintage pendant + Linea Pelle belt + old, old tattered stained Rebecca Taylor skirt from eBay.] This head scarf is about to be my summer staple. And, pardon the generalization, but there’s not a long gypsy skirt on this earth I won’t like. This particular one [...]

‘Twas bound to happen, the photo shootus interruptus. It is everyone else’s hallway, too, not just ours. My reaction: [Rozae Nichols jersey skirt + Alexander Wang pocket tee + vintage turquoise stone cross + a couple of cheap F21 cuffs acquired after drinking split of champagne in car outside of mall.]

[Rachel Pally garden leggings + Leviticus Dark Harness from Rob! + Alexander Wang pocket tee + J.Crew cardigan + old, old J.Crew boots reminiscent of a pirate]

[Abercrombie & Fitch shirt, fumigated + Kors lace-up boots + Alexander Wang navy boatneck dress + Rebecca Taylor tights + Twinkle Studio necklace + Linea Pelle belt + Nantucket tourist shop rope bracelet.]

[J.Crew cords + Alexander Wang t-shirt + Gap chambray shirt + Burberry booties.] I meant what I said about these cords transforming my wardrobe. This is such a departure from the usual flowy, fringey, flared-leg stuff I gravitate toward. It generated some serious strutting. And that’s not just because I find these booties really, really [...]

T by Alexander Wang is like the Screaming Eagle of t-shirt lines: cool, classic, expensive, never goes on sale, but of inimitable quality. And, like Screaming Eagle, if I could afford it, these tees would be the ‘house wine’ of my wardrobe. [In fact, one night when I couldn't fall asleep, Rob told me a [...]

[Loeffler Randall silk tulip shorts, Saks.com.] Growing up in Florida and other humid environments, I’ve been quoted saying I found jeans to be claustrophobic. This has not changed living in a place where the temperature hovers around 11° for 2 months. You are who you are. [In Loeffler Randall silk slouch shorts, August 2009.] I’ve [...]

I rarely notice what’s going on above the neck on the runway. Certain thematic differences help to paint a picture, to tell a story, but mostly it’s nothing I tend to covet quite like the other elements. Not so until the backstage photos from Alexander Wang’s show. I’d be hard pressed to find a lovelier [...]

Ah! I told you I lust more when I’m trying to tighten my belt. These are breathtaking: [Alexander Wang wedges, as seen on JAK&JIL blog.] The low lines of the ankle and the sole that is totally flush with the floor are incredible! He’s so genius. These are the perfect antidote to the nausea I [...]

Today I had a lot of things on my mind. Among them were: [black cats] [Brooklyn] [bright, popping colors– Andy Warhol] [James Dean] [sparkly grills] [vintage toaster ovens–want. dearly.] [this chick] So I put this together. And then took Rob down into the basement for some seriously moody shots. [Alexander Wang t-shirt, Theory leather bomber, [...]

…I’m wearing this, listening to this song again on repeat, and drinking my coffee without Splenda for the first time. And I’m so happy that it’s Friday! Friday by CorksandCaftans featuring DKNY Who wants a glass of wine at lunch today!? (I do.)

The What’s New section of Shopbop today looks like Alexander Wang blarfed all over it. Were that the case, I wouldn’t be happier to see vomit! I live in his t-shirts. They are starting to look like I do, too. Of his newer offerings: a cool navy color, the athletic romper (big boobs need not [...]
