holy shit, these shoes are so fantastic: am also wild about this silhouette for the summer, from ysl resort 2011: it’s like the grown-up version of low rise pants + belly shirt (i’m not the only one who wore some variation of that outfit throughout highschool, right?), a way to show summer skin without being summer trashy, [...]

after bingeing on seasons 1-3 of mad men online, never having to wait a day for don draper because each episode was only a click away, the last couple of months have felt long, stupid, and empty (and full of hyperbole) while waiting for season 4 to start at the end of july. thank [...]
their wedding is better than your wedding

Dumdeedum, lazy Saturday spent watering plants, cleaning, doing other tasks I’ve otherwise put off… including watching some Say Yes to the Dress, the TLC show that follows brides as they shop for their wedding gear at Kleinfeld in Manhattan. As reality TV goes, it’s not a particularly brilliant show (The Real Housewives of NY has [...]

i would buy these shoes from swedish hasbeens: you’ll remember that, some time ago, i declared ugly wooden soled shoes to be a priority for this summer (you do remember, don’t you?) under the assumption that i shop seasonally, of course, and have limitless swedish krona to throw about (233.349 dollars’ worth of krona, [...]
My Summer Uniform

Hi friends. I know I’ve been gone, but I’m baaack! due to (other than guilt and genuine interest in rekindling my blogging fire) my bro-friend David threatening to un-RSS feed me/festo, which seemed a fate too scary to face. But really, to be honest, I’ve been kind of writer blocked. Nothing in my life seemed [...]

while watching endless summer, i came up with a brief sartorial summer to-buy list. this is it: 1. baggy cuffed denim shorts 2. super ugly pair of wooden-soled shoes 3. straw boater hat 4. a “boyfriend” blazer (i hate that phrase, it’s almost as bad as a ”wifebeater” tank top) [...]
no more spandex

my father, an avid cyclist who’s been wearing spandex and shaving his legs since the early 70s, insists that adeline adeline (profiled in today’s nytimes) can’t possibly be a real bike store. we beg to differ! adeline adeline (147 reade street) was founded by a graphic designer who did not want a racing bicycle or [...]

“you’re just a regular imelda marcos,” they’d say, referring to my burgeoning love of footwear. i still remember my first pair of high heels, a fantastically ugly pair of pink mary janes with platforms that contained what looked like pastel pink marshmallows that i wore to my older sister’s bat mitzvah. so uh some shoes [...]
