Why is Matches so cruel to me? The site won’t let me grab a big picture of this lovely Alexander McQueen boob-bow sweater. On sale at Matches UPDATED TO ADD: Gorgeous blogger Songy outwitted Matches and grabbed a bigger picture for us. Thanks, Songy!
PSA: Shutter Shades and Current/Elliott
This is a public service announcement for the people who find my blog while searching for Venetian-blind or shutter sunglasses. 80spurple.com has what you’re looking for in a variety of colors. The site also has a “half-shutter” style. Other people are looking for Current/Elliott boyfriend jeans. Here’s where you can get them: Singer22 Chick Downtown…
She’s With the Band
After my most recent post on band jackets, gorgeous blogger StyleSpy sent me an email with the subject line: “the mother of all band jackets.” She wasn’t kidding! Gorgeous StyleSpy models her authentic band jacket for us. StyleSpy says that years ago she bought a whole band uniform for “practically nothing at a vintage store.”…
More Rolled-Up Jeans
If you want to try the rolled-jeans look but think Current/Elliott boyfriend jeans and Acne’s Generic Girl are too expensive, try J. Crew. New York Magazine points out that J. Crew’s Distressed Vintage Slim jeans are $135. Not a Forever 21 price, to be sure, but less expensive than the premium brands. Buy them here…
Hairy Noon and Night
I’m eager to see the new production of the musical Hair at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park. I’m not eager to go to the park early to line up for the free tickets. The online option seems even more onerous than the real-life line. Basically, I need to find some sucker to take care…
Matchy Matchy
Poor Henry! His problem paw swelled up and he had to have it drained. I believe that if you look up “misery” in the dictionary, you will find this picture. At least the vet thoughtfully color-coordinated Henry’s accessories for him.
Boob Bow!
I hadn’t seen a good boob bow in a little while, but Dorothy Perkins has come through for me with this cute top. 25 pounds at Dorothy Perkins Meanwhile, ASOS has some impressive gold leggings. (These won’t get you in the Golden Girls Gang — you need sequins for that.) 99 pounds at ASOS
The Printed Page
Anyone who is a fan of the ’90s supermodels (or, as I think of them, the ONLY supermodels) needs to check out September’s Vanity Fair. Scan from Fashion Week Daily And if you’re too young to remember a time in fashion before actresses dominated magazine covers while wan, bug-eyed teenagers drifted down the runways —…
Jaded
I guess Henry is tired of posing with beautiful purses, because he couldn’t hold back a yawn despite the beauty of my new lace Prada bag. Thank you to MrB for taking my very subtle hint and getting me this lovely anniversary handbag. (Rest assured he did not pay that inflated eBay price!) Or maybe…
A New Venture
A big thanks to all you blog readers! If you hadn’t been so supportive of this blog, maybe I wouldn’t have continued writing it for over a year. If I hadn’t continued, I wouldn’t have written about designer Christian Francis Roth. If I hadn’t written about Christian, he wouldn’t have contacted me. And if he…
