Recently, I kept seeing this photo of Beyonce and hubby Jay-Z front and center at the NBA All Star game; and this is what popped into my head every time I saw it: What the hell was she thinking when she put on those shoes? Louboutin's "Daffodil" Swarovski-crystal pumps; $5,995 I get [...]  Is it creepy that I am as fascinated by the furniture in the 1981 film, Mommie Dearest, as everyone else is in the “no-more-wire-hangers scene?” Hate to say it, but no matter how many hideous acts Joan Crawford could be accused of, bad decorating was not on the list. Set-design illustration of Joan's dressing room [...] May I just say that I’m dying over these wraparound sandals from Fredericks of Hollywood? (Yes, you read correctly, and let’s not get into a discussion about why I look at their website. The photo, above, should take care of that.) In my mind, this is the kind of footwear that could tango with a [...]
I don’t know about you, but there aren’t many birds in my wardrobe. Well, not now anyway. There was a brief preppy moment in high school, during which time I was known for sporting the occasional mallard. But aside from that, I’ve been fairly detached from the aviary movement.

(Quick refresh: Stuart Weitzman “Alex” wedges; $375.) I’m thrilled to report that Lucky Brand just came out with a seriously impressive lookalike for just $69. It’s called the “Tabitha” and, holy hell, it’s comfortable. I know this, because I’m wearing one on my [...]
Saw my first cherry blossom of the season today. (I’m fairly certain they’ve been out for a while, but were a little hard to spot through the torrential downpours known as “March in Seattle.”) Anyway, combined with the spring-forward clock adjustment this weekend, I know the season’s about to change for [...]
Sorry for the lag, folks—things have been a little exciting around here: My son, who’s been playing the excruciating game of when-am-I-going-to-hear-back-on-college applications, just got accepted into his dream school! It’s a major out-of-state institution and definitely not a bargain; but we’re happy to spend every penny on the fine education [...] |
