You win some, you lose some on eBay. Here’s one that got away. I should have bid higher for this caped Patrick Kelly jacket. It went for under $100. What was I thinking? I was thinking I have enough jackets, that’s what I was thinking! But I don’t have one like this. This auction was…
Curses!
Gorgeous blogger Moira of Dog Art Today cruelly sent me a link to an October 30 Christie’s auction of fabulous vintage clothing called Resurrection: Avant-Garde Fashion. Now I’m pining for numerous pieces that I’ll never have, including, but definitely not limited to: Stephen Sprouse Norma Kamali Norma Kamali Paco Rabanne Ossie Clark UPDATED TO ADD:…

Madonna and Guy Ritchie to Divorce?
Meh. Never thought much of him to begin with. My picture of Madonna in concert I’m more intrigued by the fact that the upscale Times of London is attributing the story to booby tabloid The Sun! Rupert Murdoch happens to own both. Do you think he got wind of some hot gossip? UPDATED TO ADD:…
These I Could Do
Slashed leggings are the latest fashion blogger must-have (look here, here, here and here), but I don’t think I’m going to go there. I’m (a) not a spring chicken and (b) don’t work at Conde Nast. Some styles demand at least one of those qualities. But these jeans I could do. Split-knee jeans$258 at OakSpotted…
Girl, We Couldn’t Get Much Higher
The Wall Street Journal has an article on super-high heels, such as these Versaces: Personally, I’m loving these Michael Kors shoes. They look like a good substitute for the Lanvins that got away. UPDATED TO ADD: Loving this Marc by Marc Jacobs boot. It’s available at Barneys.
Old Purse, New Tricks
I was practically married to my Louis Vuitton Monogram Multicolore Speedy handbag back in 2003. I carried it every day. It’s been sitting on a closet shelf for a couple of years, but a few weeks ago I decided it deserved to come out. (Thanks to MrB for fixing the zipper.) Here’s the bag with…
A Pre-Blogosphere Photo Blogger
I was fascinated by yesterday’s New York Times story on artist Jamie Livingston, who took a Polaroid every day for 18 years. He started in 1979 when he was 22 and continued up to (and including) Oct. 25, 1997, when he died of cancer on his 41st birthday. Livingston’s Polaroid from August 31, 1997 Livingston’s…
