Anne Boleyn Good lord! When I said I’d do a Thursday book post, I didn’t realize Thursdays were going to start coming at me so fast and furiously! When did every day become Thursday? I feel like I just did Katherine of Aragon a minute ago. Katherine was the first of the six wives of…

My Latex Obsession
Leggings from The Row, via Sleep Deprivation and Stories of My Bullshit Youth I’m back in latex-blogging mode, thanks to gorgeous blogger Jen, who pointed out these latex-looking leggings from The Row. According to Paper Magazine, they’re actually stretch leather. I’m not particular about the material; it’s just the look I like. When Kate Moss…
Lucy Liu Wore Evan’s Skirt!
Well, not his own personal skirt. I mean, I’ve never seen my friend Evan Ross prancing around in that skirt, but if he did, who am I to judge? “Wear What You Want” is my motto and if you are a man who wants to wear a skirt, more power to you. Anyway, since seeing…
Marc Jacobs Made Anna Run for It!
Marc Jacobs started his show over two hours late. At least this time there was ventilation, so I didn’t sweat all over my Ossie Clark dress. Due to camera problems, I missed a good shot of Posh Beckham aka Victoria Spice. Fortunately, fashion reporter Cheryl Tan was willing to do her best Posh imitation. Cheryl,…

Do You Ever Feel Like Something Is Missing?
Yet you can’t quite figure out what it is? “I can’t put my finger on it, but something is amiss, ” thought Gwendolyn. “Luckily, a LBD is always appropriate!” Gorgeous future client (ahem!) Jane, noticing my latex fetish, directed me to Syren Latex. Syren has high-end leggings as well as air-conditioned dresses. They also have…
More Latex Leggings (and Coats)
These cropped leggings are 15 pounds on Asos.com. There’s more shine to be found at TV, though that website is hard to browse. For all my latex posts, click here. If you’ve tried the latex look and you’re not listed, let me know so I can link to you! And if you really can’t get…
New at Topshop
Of the Kate Moss pieces available at this moment on Topshop.com, I like this tweed jacket the most. I’d have to see it personally to decide if it was worth 75 pounds. This grey cashmere sweater is also cute, but again, 65 pounds seems like a lot for what I think of as Topshop quality….
Maid in Manhattan?
I haven’t worn gloves for years. I prefer to stuff my hands in my pockets and complain about the cold weather. But when I found these woolly fingerless gloves in Bergen, Norway, this summer, I was in love. Then, two days ago, I was on Madison Avenue and walked by Sermoneta Gloves. The brightly colored…
Luscious Leather
Isn’t this leather mini-trench by S.W.O.R.D. beautiful? I love it but I definitely can’t get it. I have too many coats and jackets as it is. Here is the back view (in a different color). It’s available at blaec.com. I’ve never bought anything from the site but I like to browse its interesting collection (even…
