eBay Booty and Pauline Boty
Gorgeous blogger and vintage-clothing purveyor Miss Peelpants (aka Liz) alerted me to an Ossie Clark dress on eBay (aka, as Liz Tweeted, “the Bay of E”) that had the same Celia Birtwell print as an Ossie I recently bought from Miss Peelpants herself. There was a different color scheme though, so if even if you…
Overworked
You people! What do you want from me? A new blog post? Well, I’m working on a big post for next week; trying to finish up a guest post for Shrimpton Couture; worrying about the guest posts I promised Sandra and La Belette Rouge ages ago; testing out new functionality for the blog; and making…
Leader of the Pack, Part II
Seeing gorgeous blogger Delmy looking sharp in a white blazer reminded me of last month’s post on white suits by Red Carpet Fashion Awards. And that post, in turn, reminded me of the white suit I posted here in 2007. I got that suit in 2003 and it’s still going strong. For my first Leader…

Paris, Day 5, Part I: Outfit
Today I wore the top and the shoes I got at the Castelbajac store in London. I can only understand a few words in French, but I instantly comprehended the lady on the Metro who pointed at my feet and said (in French), “Your shoes…superb…superb.” MrB and I caught two other Metro mademoiselles giving me…
Paris, Day 4: Feeling Artistic
We started out the day with lunch at L’Avenue with our Paris-based friend James Lieber. Thanks for lunch, James! After lunch, MrB and I headed to an exhibition of graffiti art called Born in the Streets. I was thrilled to be able to wear my new Francis graffiti dress while surrounded by graffiti. It was…
