April 2010

Yawn. I’m usually in bed by 10:30 (don’t laugh) but when a girlfriend I haven’t seen in two years comes to town, well, I stay up. And I spend the next day yawning and mainlining starbucks. Yum!

On another note, Sunday was Chloe Cat’s 1 yr. birthday! She enjoyed some fish and new toys and bug killing. All in all, a great day for her.
When I first brought her home:

I miss her little shaved belly- so cute! Now onto the clothes!

I want you just exactly like I used to

This morning I woke up with a clear vision of my outfit. A strapless yellow and grey flowered dress with light grey tights and platform sandals and maybe a belt. And then I tried it on and it was a total disaster.

Then I remembered this awesome outfit on Krystal from This Time Tomorrow. It’s a skirt, no it’s a dress! It… was completely and totally copied by me. To me, that’s the best part of this whole crazy blogging business- instant inspiration that translates to real life in a way fashion editorials never could.


Krystal, lookin’ good

I might have done better choosing another dress to try this with. The dress is short sleeved and a little loose, so it required pinning to stay on my waist. Then I had these unsightly lumps. Long story short, There’s a lot of layering going on in this outfit.

This is me trying something new. It looked a little sloppy and it looked a lot like a british school uniform. And yep, I got loads of weird looks wearing my knee high socks.

Chicest Gunn in the East

Where have I been? I have no clue to be honest. There’s been a lot of working out, a lot of eating out, and a whole lot of staring at my closet and pulling my hair out in frustration. What is it that drives me (or us) to feel that there’s nothing worth wearing in my closet, despite the fact that it’s bursting with clothes? I’ve probably said it before, but I’m infinitely more impressed with bloggers who wear items again and again than bloggers who have a new closet every season. Where do you stand on this?

Well, I do know where I was last Wednesday. I was at the Kate Spade store on Newbury Street, waiting anxiously for a glimpse of Tim Gunn. The place was crazy packed, but they were serving bubbly to help pacify the crowds.

I was completely swept up in the excitement and ended up buying a small Kate Spade wallet so I could get to meet him. He was so nice! Very charming and polished and full of nice things to say about the people he’s met, the Project Runway contestants, and the craziness of the event. And he called me pretty! Swoon!

I never stopped loving pink. Instead, my love expanded to include all shades of pink and red. So of course this editorial made me squeal with joy.
