A few random things: Thank you to Shannon at Jewelry Division Public Relations blog, who said some nice things about my work. Check it out! I am so entertained by If I Blog It They Will Come. This is a must-see! Almost as thrilling as the J-Lo Kiss My Ass video. Thanks to the Manolo…

A Hairy Situation
A pretty ponytail, via New Forest National Park‘s website The New York Times has a story about charities such as Locks of Love, which makes wigs for kids suffering from hair loss for medical reasons. The actress Diane Lane cut her hair for Locks of Love on live television. It’s all the rage to get…
Zang With a Z
Tonight my husband and I saw Zang Toi‘s spring line at a fundraiser Zang held for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. We saw both singer Patti LaBelle and DJ drag queen Lady Bunny there. Who is the greater diva? I would have liked to see them wrestle for the title. Maybe next season! The theme for…
Great Minds Think Alike … About Foldover Bags
Bag from Posh Vintage This ’60s foldover clutch from Posh Vintage (above) reminded me of Poppie Couture’s foldovers. The vintage bag is less expensive but the Poppie bags are certainly beautiful. I love the deep red color. Bag from Poppie Couture I feel that I’ve also seen foldover bags with a big ring handle like…
Life Is Not a Cabaret. Stop Calling Me “Old Chum”!
“Pictures lie.” That’s what my hairstylist once told me when I was complaining that I had just discovered I looked craptastic thanks to a photo. I hope this one is lying its ass off. I’m just sharing it to show a different look (though not a different pose) from the Ossie Clark printed dress look….

Another Day…
Another fashion blogger, another pair of American Apparel leggings. Sunday Girl bucked the trend, though, and went for the gold. Looking good! (Photo from Sunday Girl’s Beautiful Garbage blog.) Queen of the Posh and Broke also has a new latex post. And the latest issue of People Magazine shows Ashley Olsen and Mischa Barton wearing…
Keep or Return?
I ordered this all-over-argyle sweater from J. Crew. I thought it would be fun to wear with white jeans this winter. But, as I expected, the small is too big and the XS will probably be too small, so I’d have to get this one taken in. Is the sweater worth the effort? Speaking of…
Thursday Book Club: Kristin Lavransdatter
I had intended to continue with the wives of Henry VIII today, but I wanted to re-read a book about Catherine of Aragon. So, instead, I present to you Kristin Lavrandatter by Nobel prize-winning Norwegian author Sigrid Undset, a master of historical fiction. I visited Norway in July. I’d been pining for the fjords for…
