Last year, I wore a vintage Moschino dress to Valentine’s Day dinner at a restaurant called Balthazar. This year, I wore the same vintage Moschino dress to Valentine’s Day dinner at Balthazar. Want to place bets on next year’s outfit?

Saks on Sale
Saks is still having its crazy sale. If you buy something, they might also throw in some store fixtures and a few sales associates. The website is pretty picked over but if you want to do your own take on the WendyB/Gwen Stefani striped, one-sleeved look, you could check out this black and silver dress…
Great Minds Think Alike … About L.A.M.B.
Earlier this year, I ogled a L.A.M.B. dress on the soon-to-be-defunct eLuxury. I didn’t plan to get it, but when it was reduced further I couldn’t resist. More recently, I was rummaging through my gorgeous client Melissa‘s closet (she was rummaging with me — I didn’t break into her house) and I found she had…
I’m a Pretty Girl (So Vote for Me)
My gorgeous mother, BarbaraB, took me to see Patti Lupone in the musical Gypsy this week. I’d seen the play last March, but after a ceiling vent fell on an audience member, I couldn’t really focus on Patti’s big finale. I wanted to experience an accident-free performance before the play closes on January 11. I…
Great Minds Think Alike … About Stripes

Come On, Get Happy
I dare you to be in a bad mood while wearing this vintage dress. $160 at Dorothea’s Closet I bet you’re in a better mood just looking at it! Now for some Partridge Family to put you right over the top.
eBay Easy Come, Easy Go
Sorry to show you something you can’t have, but anyone who is a fan of bustles and/or ruffles really missed out on this Anna Sui denim skirt. It went for only $19.99 on eBay. Front Back Butt ruffles are the next best thing to butt bows. Something that I’d love to see on eBay for…

Adding to My Art Collection
Gorgeous blogger ENC has created some new dress-based art for me. In case you don’t know the back story, it is as follows: I found an Alexander McQueen dress on eBay that looked like modern art; then Jill put me and the dress into some art; and then Danielle made another contribution. And here are…
