Quirking Along
I’ve previously done the “six unspectacular quirks” tag, but since gorgeous bloggers Fasshonaburu and Pretty in Black have both tagged me, I’m doing it again. Please note that I will beat a bitch’s ass if anyone else tries to tag me with this. I’m supposed to put the rules here, but I’m not going to….
Kaleidoscope Eyes
Want to go psychedelic like me? For those who don’t “do” vintage, See by Chloe’s trippy dress is on sale at Neiman Marcus. $338, down from $520 Don’t wear it with those shoes, though.

Latex-Look Top by Balenciaga
This Balenciaga top is on sale on Yoox this weekend. The sale price is $605. If that’s a lot of money to you, I’d say the better investment is a WendyB Lotus Necklace. If $605 is nothing to you, you should buy the top AND a Lotus Necklace. Question of the day: Who’s pervier? The…

Neither of these would have been as fabulous as a full-on Catwoman look, but they would have been better suited to the theme than the very ordinary dresses that were worn by most of the women.

Have Dust Ruffle, Will Travel
Last week, our friend David Ng, the executive editor of the New York Daily News, received an award from the Asian American Federation. I wore a dress by Zang Toi to the celebratory dinner. Isn’t it a little like couch upholstery, complete with dust ruffle? But in a nice way. David told a touching story…

Weirdly Specific Search Term of the Day
The weirdly specific search term of the day is: “how much does it cost to buy a rose online and have it delivered to your grandmother.” It would be amusing if the cost of flowers depended on the identity of the recipient. You could send a dozen roses to Mom for $29.99, but Grandma would…
