Corks and Caftans

[DVF's master, glassed-in suite atop the Meatpacking District headquarters. All images courtesy Architectural Digest.] I’ll die happy after seeing these photos. This home fulfills just about everything I could want in an abode [except for an outdoor shower, and a music room]. The Highline-esque accents, the glassed-in bedroom, worldly accents, and the gypsy bed… feast.

[Trunk LTD t-shirt + DVF skirt from ages ago + vintage squash blossom necklace + Motif 56 cuff] I’m not one of those Southerners who claims only my state does BBQ best. Or that only the South does it best, for that matter. I mean, I’m partial to it, and all, but all BBQ is [...]

[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 [...]

[Rodarte for Target cardigan + Alexander Wang navy pocket tank + Diane von Furstenberg leggings + Kors boots (again. I know.)]

[Diane von Furstenberg dress + Diane von Furstenberg leggings + Twinkle Studio necklace + Kors lace-up boots.] Painfully cold. This is my stance right before I do the sliding kick into Scorpion, then initiate the best fatality ever in the history of Mortal Kombat, the spine rip.

[DVF cotton leggings + Report heels + La Dama rosary + Aude LA tank  + J.Crew cardigan] Last week in a winey tryptophan haze, I ordered two pairs of DVF leggings (both colors, brown and grey) then completely forgot about it until I saw the “Your Order Has Shipped” email on Thursday and cringed. There’s [...]

This task has not come to completion yet; not even close. Flashback: Today I’m spending a few hours doing something that, years ago, I would have found completely unthinkable: I’m tearing apart, cutting up, and demolishing my lookbook. It’s a weighty, tattered book of wrinkled, warped pages completely covered, no inch spared, with photos collected over the [...]

Whipped out one half of a great Diane von Furstenberg outfit today; a kelly green silk shorts and top get-up. The top is so voluminous, though, that I tend to prefer it broken apart from its matching green silk shorts. I wore it with JCrew white shorts, white Prada heels with orange stitching, a JCrew [...]

Woo! This is a busy caftan. I’ve been periodically peeping this one since it came out in April or so. She really nailed it this year; I’m sort of resentful give the current stay-tus of my accounts. Whatevs. It’s sort of sheer and everywhere is showing it with a bikini underneath but sorry, kiddies, you [...]

I’m already chuckling and I’ve only written the title. I mean, coming to mind are bad toupees. Which are awesome! But in this case, I’m talking about something else. (Thankfully. I think this blog would be taking a real downward turn if we were writing about hair pieces.) I went to go through Shopbop’s “What’s [...]

Today, I did a lot of writing, was introduced to this amazing blog that is the best thing I’ve ever seen in my life, listened to this band, uploaded this video, and wore this: What I’m Wearing, Monday June 8 by CorksandCaftans featuring Tory Burch shoes Then I saw an old friend while walking home [...]

 Hey, listen up: it’s getting warm out and I’m not sure if this means anything to you, but it sure means something to me. And I’m not talking about an expansion of my budget for disposable razors. Which there is… It means walking to work in the morning, actual leaves on the trees on our [...]
