Gorgeous blogger Kathy of Fasshonaburu<\/a> joined me for dinner at sushi restaurant BondSt<\/a> last night. (We recommend the fried oyster roll.) My jewel of the evening was my 18K gold lotus flower necklace with a sapphire in the center<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The coat and dress are by Francis<\/a> for Fall 2009. The Jil Sander boots, which you can also see here<\/a>, are old. I can’t remember exactly when I got them, but I had them when I worked at Lehman Brothers<\/a> and I left that job in 2005. I originally tried on the boots at Bergdorf Goodman<\/a>, but the last pair was half a size too large for me. I became determined to get those boots. After calling all the U.S. stores I could think of, I called the Jil Sander office, where I was told there was no hope. No boots for you<\/a>! However, nothing inspires me quite as much as someone telling me there’s no hope.\u00a0 I started calling stores in Europe. Ultimately I described the boots to bemused but helpful Harrods<\/a> sales associate, who sent them on their merry way to me.<\/p>\n

Sometimes I think that I should put the energy spent on something like tracking a pair of boots into more important endeavors. But then I think, “Nah.” Unimportant endeavors need love too.<\/p>\n
