Death Becomes Me

I have the flu. I have not gotten out of the sweat pants plus t-shirt combo for two days. Also my hair is a mess. I feel terrible and I just read that Chanel is making a Segway scooter. There is a shop downtown that rents Segways. I wonder if they will have the Chanel version? All I know is that this is making me question my existence. Did you know that they are remaking The Never Ending Story? First Escape to Witch Mountain and now this. The world is entering a terrible and unfortunate age. Or maybe not. All I know is that these things are happening and someone else got the Stella McCartney for LeSport Sac bag that I wanted from Gilt Group.
Pretty black dresses to wear to the funeral of the world as we know it:
When you are attending the funeral for an idea, not something tangible, it is thoroughly appropriate to look sexy. You should not wear a one shouldered dress to your step father's funeral but who the hell cares when it is something that did not really exist. Unless you just read Slaughterhouse 5 and you are not sad about his death because, you know, he is alive in the past and right now? That body is just not really in a good state. But I doubt Serena reads. Also this dress does not show enough cleavage for our flaxen haired friend. RM by Roland Mouret sleeveless black dress, $2,180
Did you know that it was Mardi Gras this week? That somehow or other slipped by me. Probably becuase that was the day that I fell ill. I looked good too (90s Prada shoes, wool tights, striped shirt dress, vintage waist belt, and a purple J. Crew cardigan). Once again, the perfect party dress for the end of the world as we know it. Why is everything suddenly so apocolyptic? Why must pop culture decide to ruin everything that I love and know? Will March 16 ever come? Charlotte Ronson Audrey dress, $246
Helmut Lang dresses have a habit of bringing out the vaugely slutty and curvaceous side of me. I know I would end up wearing this dress with my suede platform heels and my faux leather jacket and be righteously mean to everyone. It is no matter though, because I love this dress. $345

My Hair Will Shine Like the Sea

I'm sitting here still in my bathrobe and watching Millionaire Matchmaker (which, by the way, is far more terrifying than any other show on television)and I'm feeling mighty comfortable so here are some flats. A far cry from the high high heels I've been wearing lately and maybe some models could use them too...
I will always love a nice pointed toe, especially when paired with straight jeans. Aaah Marni. Leather ballet flats, $530

Pink satin! The girliest of girly, and I love it. Fairy Tales Are True satin flats, $34
Perfect for when it's warm but God knows you shouldn't wear shorts and all your skirts are in the laundry. Also just totally fab. Chloe patent leather flats, $470


Classic and on sale. Iyana flats, $85

Dune is so Hot Right Now

AC: this is something that everyone in the world should own
Leith: it's very Dune meets Xanadu
AC: very true

Pack Your Bags!

It seems as if everyone I know is in search of new luggage, I suppose it's just the thought of college (joyfully!) looming on the horizon. I am lucky and have a limitless supply of luggage from my travel loving relatives, but not everyone is so lucky. Here are some great weekend bags, you know for when you're home visiting your parents.
This is just like the duffel my dad would use while hitchhiking across the country in his college days. Except his wasn't pink. $32
My favorite weekend bag is Diane Von Furstenberg. It's from the mid 90's (once again, a relatives) but my goodness, it's like Mary Poppins' magic bag. Dian Von Furstenberg wheeled city bag, $115.16
There are few things I love more than aged leather. This is faux, but I'm also trying to save money these days. Deerfield weekender, $48

So you can sleep on the train in style. Also, I actually use this in real life and only partly because I love Breakfast at Tiffany's. Holly Golightly sleep mask, $18

Truthy

Looks like some graffiti I snapped and sent to Faran at Nylon made it onto the Nylon Blog. Exciting! Check it out. Oh and that "True" graffiti? I forgot to mention that it says "False" when you turn it upside down. Clever street vandals.

Thanks Faran!
