Gorgeous blogger Princess Poochie<\/a> came to New York this weekend, and I was delighted to spend quality time with her. We took a mini-jaunt to Riverdale<\/a> to visit my gorgeous friends Jen and Amanda. I was most entertained by the name of the train stop — Spuyten Duyvil — which is an old Dutch phrase that has something to do with the devil<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We stopped by Jen’s apartment and met her grumpy-faced cats, Simon and Elise.<\/p>\n

The ladies took turns trying on my Francis by Christian Francis Roth skirt<\/a>. I swear on the Duyvil himself that this skirt is universally flattering. You can get one of your own for 30% off at Bloomingdales. Then if you come to NYC, we can go out on the town dressed like twins. Don’t think I won’t do it<\/a>!<\/p>\n

The next day, Poochie and I checked out the Model as Muse exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art<\/a>, dined at Flex Mussels<\/a>, and stopped by my apartment to meet MrB and the dogs. MrB took our photo.<\/p>\n

I’m wearing a vintage Ossie Clark<\/a> snakeskin vest in the picture above … and speak of the Duyvil! Gorgeous blogger Disney Roller Girl<\/a> tipped me off to an Ossie Clark snakeskin jacket on The Look<\/a>. The current owner of that jacket thinks it’s a jacket that was worn by Ossie himself. Could be.<\/p>\n

I also have an Ossie Clark snakeskin jacket. I know it wasn’t owned by Ossie though. I got it from one of his employees<\/a>. It’s my most treasured piece of clothing.<\/p>\n

I’m looking forward to seeing Princess Poochie one more time tomorrow. I don’t want her to go home. Maybe I can convince her to move to NYC with her husband, two chickens, four cats, one dog, and two mini-goats. I’m sure there’s room for all of them in Riverdale.<\/p>\n
