"Stephanie, is your insides black too?" Maybe!

What I wore tonight while having half a bottle of wine and eating lots of home cookin' with my lady friends...

Sorry it's blurry but I had a lot of glasses of wine.

Amrita Singh on sale Noon at Ideeli.com

"I have that bracelet, I have that bracelet! It's Amrita Singh!"

Me screaming at the end of Bride Wars.

I love Amrita Singh's jewelry, and at $18, the Sarasa Bracelets would be my pick. Also featured are some beautiful earrings, but they are more expensive.

Maybe I've been looking at this all wrong...

I try not to get to personal on this blog, and stick to fashion only. That being said, I thought I'd just let you know that I recently was laid off. It's the way the world is going, and I definitely don't have hard feelings. If I did have a job, I would definitely be buying a Robert Rodriguez Fitted Double Knit Dress from ShopBop.com.



Guess I just keep looking at all the great sales ShopItToMe has sent me, because hopefully, I'll find something soon.

Thanks, Amber! Thanks class action lawsuit!

Have you purchased department store cosmetics from May 29, 1994 through July 16, 2003? Well you may be entitled to some free stuff!

Amber sent me a link to a story on a WSJ.com Law Blog post regarding a price-fixing settlement.

The offer is part of an agreement to settle a suit filed in 2003 in a California federal court that alleged the stores tried to limit sales and scale back on the amount of cosmetics in their inventory, keeping both prices and competition high. The department stores — which also include Bergdorf Goodman, Bergner’s, Bloomingdale’s, Boston Store, Carson Pirie Scott, Dillard’s, Gottschalks, Herberger’s, Neiman Marcus, Parisian, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Younkers — have denied any wrongdoing.

Is it wrong?

I kind of feel evil right now, like someone is down, and I'm going straight for the kill. I couldn't help thinking of the massive sale possibilities though when I read in the WWD headlines that Eluxury.com is slowly leaving the retail game.

If you haven't read The Cherry Blossom Girl, she has an amazing Breakfast at Tiffany's post worth checking out. It's one of my favorite blogs anyway for the styling, photographic, and dreamlike quality overall.

Oh the learnin' a happenin' today!

The Daily Beast's Year in Fashion Disasters by Renata Espinosa is pretty funny, although I have to say, I still like boxy t-shirts and latex leggings. I didn't even know about bikini jeans though!
I mean, holy hell! I also learned about the TFP Manifesto. I like seeing someone more bothered by this than me.

I'm really glad to see this article. I've been taking special care of my clothes now that I'm putting more money into them, and I think it's important to repair things and to have them tailored to fit if possible. (Usually this just means getting pants hemmed for me, but I got this amazing Marc by Marc pencil skirt on sale, and it was just a little big. I got it tailored so it sits right around my natural waist and is perfect!)

Need to follow Stephanie's regime!

This is what I almost wore on Thursday. I decided that I didn't like the t-shirt with the jacket, and that I didn't want a short jacket with the jeans, so I changed everything.
(Outfit details: blazer, Walter; jeans, Marc by Marc Jacobs; t-shirts, J. Crew and Gap.)

So I changed into a long gray t-shirt and longer black blazer. I haven't worn the Walter jacket yet, but I think I'm going to have to do it with a high-waisted pencil skirt or something, because the cropped isn't nice with jeans.

(Outfit details: blazer, The Limited; t-shirt, Gap; shoes, Colin Stuart for Victoria's Secret--yes, I got them!)

Sorry for the lousy image quality. Wilson even took the last one! I'm definitely working on it. I also have to start exercising like our own demoiselle, Stephanie. Both outfits would have looked a lot better if I paunch was a bit smaller/flatter. I try not to beat myself up about it though, because I'm definitely an advocate of hot fashion at any size.

I touched this last night.

Couldn't justify spending the rent on boots, even if they are amazing Christian Louboutin boots on sale in my size.

Find the Forever Tina boot at Barney's reduced $789.

Not fashion, per se...

But I love when people graffiti with stickers. This is particularly awesome:

My Recent Equation

Weight Loss + Hot New Fashion = Self-Esteem Boost - $$$

My outfits recently have been deemed "sophisticated" and "more stylish" and "professional" and even "sexy." I think it's funny considering, all I'm doing is putting more effort into my appearance. I wear too much black, gray, red, and purple. And I'm wearing the same three pairs of amazingly comfortable heels. Metal chain bracelets adorn my wrists. People at work are going to start calling me "metal."Sorry, no photos. I don't have a cute boyfriend to take snapshots.

Tonight, I bought things I'd normally never buy. Wet look leggings and a jumpsuit. Uh oh. But whatever, I feel like a rock star whenever I wear them and I've already constructed many outfits. I'm going to look so good walking down the streets of San Francisco. Maybe then, I'll catch the eye of a cute boy who will want to date me and take my outfit snapshots.




This weekend, I'll be in New York. More fashion updates, later!
