You’ve got a few hours left — until 11:59 PM PST tonight — to get an additional 30% off sale items at eLuxury. My favorite Acne jeans (Hex style) are as low as $75. I contemplated a L.A.M.B. dress before deciding I have plenty of dresses; what I need is more nice tops to go…

Sunny Dresses for a Gray Day
Jean Paul Gaultier Andrew Gn Alice + Olivia UPDATED TO ADD: Lalla Lydia pointed out that a tequila sunrise would go well with the Alice + Olivia dress. Good call!
Adventures in Arizona, Part II
As I started telling you, I spent last weekend at the Tucson Gem Show before visiting the beauteous sister bloggers Jennifer and Megan in Phoenix. I bought a few great stones, but I never tell people about the pieces I’m working on until they’re finished, so you’ll have to wait! My husband came along. He…
There’s Something About Eve
For some reason, ’90s model Eve Salvail is on my mind. She was famous for her shaved head and the dragon tattoo on her scalp. Photo from evesalvail.com Here she is with Karl Lagerfeld, back in the days when he used to eat. Photo from evesalvail.com Jean Paul Gaultier used her a lot. Below, Eve…

Glamazonian Jenn of In Yr Fshn was kind enough to present both views of my Sophie twisting heart pendant…

Adventures in Arizona, Part I
I sneaked off to Arizona this weekend to check out the Tucson Gem Show. Afterwards, I stopped in Phoenix to visit gorgeous sister bloggers Jennifer and Megan. We had dinner (I had “Voodoo Tuna”) during which I attempted to drink for four: myself, Megan, Jennifer and Jennifer’s bun in the oven. Considering the baby was…
Models and White Powder
My adorable designer friend Zang Toi showed his Adirondacks-inspired fall 2008 collection at Bryant Park today. You can see a video of the whole show here. (Select “shows” and then mouse over the images for his name. Unfortunately it doesn’t have the rockin’ music he really used.) Check out the fake snow sprinkled around the…
Post #400: A New Handbag Has Arrived
I wouldn’t let Henry get close to this new Prada bag because I am dithering about whether to keep it. What to do …. what to do …. “Why do I have to pose with handbags anyway?” Previously, he was allowed to hang out with a Vuitton. “Stephen Sprouse was so genius.” And he got…
