Fashionably Cute is a webzine dedicated to all things kawaii. I discovered it when FC linked to MY link to b.lush, who borrowed it from her boyfriend. (Cute food is so viral!). The ice cream sandwich piggy is killing me!

Buy My Dress at Frock NYC
My favorite vintage store, Frock NYC, has relaunched its website! Check out the beautiful selections, including Ossie Clark, Thea Porter, Ungaro and Moschino. Not to mention my very own Versace Couture dress (see above), worn to the Oscars in 2003! And if you’re in NYC, you must stop by the store at 148 Orchard Street…
Black and White
I like the bold, graphic design on this ’80s snakeskin Carlos Falchi bag. It’s $165 on Poshvintage.com.
The Rules (for Ladies of a Certain Age)
Whose rules are better? Ellen Barkin’s or blogger Gala Darling’s? Gala’s by a long shot, I’d say.
Great Minds Think Alike…About Gladiator Sandals

When I saw this beautiful Jonathan Saunders dress in the window of Bergdorf Goodman …. CLICK HERE TO SEE THE DRESS. … the Marc Jacobs dress from 2004 on Liv Tyler immediately sprang to mind. Embed from Getty Images They’re certainly not identical though. It must just be the sash.
Take Good Care of Your Acne
I’ve mentioned Acne Jeans a lot, but I forgot to give you an important warning. Wash the jeans as infrequently as possible (a good recommendation for all jeans unless you are striving for the broken-in look) and when you do wash them….hand-wash!

More Mrs. Astor
A few more highlights from the New York Times obituary on Brooke Astor: “In her chauffeur-driven Mercedes-Benz, she traveled all over New York to visit the tenements and churches and neighborhood programs she was considering for foundation grants. Many times a welcoming lunch awaited her on paper plates and plastic folding tables set up for…
