If you want to try the rolled-jeans look but think Current/Elliott boyfriend jeans and Acne’s Generic Girl are too expensive, try J. Crew. New York Magazine points out that J. Crew’s Distressed Vintage Slim jeans are $135. Not a Forever 21 price, to be sure, but less expensive than the premium brands. Buy them here…

Hairy Noon and Night
I’m eager to see the new production of the musical Hair at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park. I’m not eager to go to the park early to line up for the free tickets. The online option seems even more onerous than the real-life line. Basically, I need to find some sucker to take care…
Boob Bow!
I hadn’t seen a good boob bow in a little while, but Dorothy Perkins has come through for me with this cute top. 25 pounds at Dorothy Perkins Meanwhile, ASOS has some impressive gold leggings. (These won’t get you in the Golden Girls Gang — you need sequins for that.) 99 pounds at ASOS
The Printed Page
Anyone who is a fan of the ’90s supermodels (or, as I think of them, the ONLY supermodels) needs to check out September’s Vanity Fair. Scan from Fashion Week Daily And if you’re too young to remember a time in fashion before actresses dominated magazine covers while wan, bug-eyed teenagers drifted down the runways —…
Jaded
I guess Henry is tired of posing with beautiful purses, because he couldn’t hold back a yawn despite the beauty of my new lace Prada bag. Thank you to MrB for taking my very subtle hint and getting me this lovely anniversary handbag. (Rest assured he did not pay that inflated eBay price!) Or maybe…
A New Venture
A big thanks to all you blog readers! If you hadn’t been so supportive of this blog, maybe I wouldn’t have continued writing it for over a year. If I hadn’t continued, I wouldn’t have written about designer Christian Francis Roth. If I hadn’t written about Christian, he wouldn’t have contacted me. And if he…
Flat and Fringed
I’m strictly a high heel (or wedge) kind of woman, but for those of you who do flats, The Shoe Goddess pointed out these great fringed boots. $458 at Shopbop
Current/Elliott Rolled-Up Jeans
For the brave, fashion-forward souls who like the look of rolled-up jeans, I have another suggestion, in addition to the Acne Jeans that I pointed out last month. These sex-ay Current/Elliott boyfriend jeans are available at Singer 22 for $229. Want more choices? People Magazine identifies Katie Holmes’ jeans as Prps. Amanda Peet has Earnest…
Jackets: Old, New and Owned
Someone needs to buy me this ’60s printed leather and denim jacket by Cavalli. $645 at Swank Vintage Speaking of jackets, Under the Stares is yet another blogger who is yearning for a marching band/military-type jacket. For her, my fellow Adam Ant fan, If You’re Into It, found this Converse by John Varvatos jacket. $795…
Seen on Phoebe
The psychedelic See by Chloe dress that I posted a while ago has been ruined for me by Dlisted’s adored Phoebe Price (aka “Chicken Cutlets”). Phoebe Price is to Dlisted what Coco is to me. That’s the answer to a question on next year’s SATs, by the way: “Phoebe Price is to Dlisted as _______…
