Kidding..but tickets on sale this saturday! I *will* be front row with no shame.

Vintage Waldorf

Although Gossip girl has fallen from glory in my eyes (it flounders for plot outside of the Constance Billard bubble), I still have a soft spot for Blair's snooty get-ups.  That hat is priceless! I think I'll put my money to good use purchasing this beret from ShopCuffs.com. I'll pass on the tartan cape though...

Peony

Paeonia Suffruticosa is by far my favorite flower. An old myth says that shy little nymphs live in their petals..how cute! The flower was used during the Victorian times to communicate bashfulness. I wouldn't describe myself as a particularly bashful girl, but I love these ruffled flowers all the same. Aren't they lovely?

For Aimee(to appease Kara and Olivia)

 Normally I am in stauch opposition to legwarmers worn anytime outside of ballet rehersal, but these legwarmers from FreePeople are cleverly styled.  Every time I want to attempt this look, I'm hindered by images of Jane Fonda and I can't bring myself to walk out of the house with the legwarmers. I think the biggest factor in deciding the appropriateness of a legwarmer has to do with two factors: the scrunch and the knit. Scrunch will be your worst enemy. If you want to go legwarmer this year, avoid the whole slouchy effect. It *will* give you cankles, so who are you kidding. Just say no. The second factor has to do with the quality and thickness of the knit. Stay away from stiff acrylics or thick knits because not only will they add serious bulkiness but acrylic legwarmers make you look like you've just walked out of your tuesday Tae Bo class. These FreePeople legwarmers are probably too thick...but I guess it depends on your legs. Look for a nice pair of delicate wool, alpaca, or cashmere legwarmers.  That's all I have to say about that...Good luck!

Ever since my friend Kara slipped a Liz Phair song into a mix cd she gave me as a birthday present, I've been listening to Exile in Guyville non-stop. To be more specific I've been listening to track 10 (the title being too obscene to post). It's a typical teenage girl war cry bemoaning the cruelness of boys. No, I don't have a significant other, but if I did this is what I would be getting him for Christmas....wrapped in the Sunday comics and hidden under the tree.

Miss Scarlett!

I haven't been making any updates but I promise I have a good excuse. I've spent the past few days reading and falling in love with Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. Being a southern girl myself, I connected deeply with the book though let it be noted that I neither identify nor sympathize with Scarlett O'Hara. She was a giant ball of bad karma and totally had it all coming. I put together this collage hoping to capture the essence of the first two genteel chapters of the book before the story succumbs to the rigors of war. It was a time of lace gloves(mod cloth has some), french perfume (Miss Dior Chere), Ice tea (I loveee Milo's ice tea from Whole Foods),  ice tea flavored lip gloss by DuWop, fans, and  lockets. Ok, so they didn't have  the lipgloss but they probably would have* liked* to have ice tea flavored lipgloss. Who wouldn't want that? Maybe I'm just becoming nostalgic for the lazy days of summer since all traces of  the season are gone from my city. At any rate, I highly suggest this timeless novel to all of you.

HOLY S*%&!!111!!1!
