Closet Confidential: A Review
As you may have recalled, I won a copy of Closet Confidential from the lovely Annie Spandex about two weeks ago. She let me know that it had been mailed off the next day (quick!), and then I started eagerly waiting for the moment it arrived. When it finally got here, I opened the package…
Marvelous Monday!
As of writing this, I’m not feeling too hot…hopefully I’ll feel better in the morning. I’m sick of being sick, dammit! This guy is painfully stylish. I’m jealous. And his hats! Oh the hats! Reason #12498 why Vivienne Westwood is amazing: First you have to know who you are – or who you want to…
Saturday Shoe Lust
These are obviously inspired by the Balenciaga harness boots that everyone freaked out about. I wasn’t too wild about those, but I really, really like these. Unfortunately, at $324, they’re well out of my budget for now. But maybe someday soon, they’ll go on sale…*crosses fingers*
5 Movies to Watch for Their Aesthetic
Movies are a huge source of inspiration for me, style wise. The first time I saw Moulin Rouge, I was absolutely dumbstruck by the sheer…awesomeness of it all.

I also wanted to thank Alicia and Sheena who gave me blogger awards…the resulting post has been sitting in my drafts for about…
A Day of Thanks
via Nathalie Booth It’s definitely not a holiday with the most savory of origins, (it’s funny how they always leave the genocide out in the tv specials and kindergarten storybooks, hmm?) but I think that sometimes we all need a reminder of how lucky we are and how grateful we should be. That’s how I…
Links a la Mode
Food for Thought Edited by Ashe Mischief This is my first time editing since I wrote Good Cop/Bad Cop: Participating in Links a la Mode. Thank you all so much for making this my most pleasurable experience in editing yet! I’m not sure if it’s because American Thanksgiving is a week away, or because the…
Daily Outfit 11/21/09
The lighting was bad outside & my camera was acting up again! argh. Anyways. Here we have boots off eBay, ruffled Target skirt, Hellz Bellz shirt and vintage brooch + bracelet. If you’ve seen this t-shirt before, you know I usually wear it differently – but the particular mix of dye I used on my…
