Gorgeous blogger and vintage-clothing purveyor Miss Peelpants (aka Liz) alerted me to an Ossie Clark dress on eBay (aka, as Liz Tweeted, “the Bay of E”) that had the same Celia Birtwell print as an Ossie I recently bought from Miss Peelpants herself. There was a different color scheme though, so if even if you [...]
Thanks to my designing friend Christian Francis Roth (of the Francis clothing line), I’ve developed a graffiti obsession. So I was totally craving this stupendous vintage graffiti bathing suit from Rice and Beans Vintage.

After lunch, MrB and I headed to an exhibition of graffiti art called Born in the Streets. (You can read more about what was in the exhibit on the Francis blog.) I was thrilled to be able to [...]

As any man can tell you, there’s such a thing as “too soon.”
In 2004, while I was working at Lehman Brothers, a colleague introduced me to a bartending artist who specialized in portraits of his bar’s customers. The artist also did a huge, action-packed painting of the traders on the floor of the New [...]
It’s the official start of the holiday shopping season, which means you should be thinking of holiday cards. I wanted to support a small business, so I ordered these beautiful and nondenominational Red Blossom cards from Nouveau Designs on Etsy earlier this month. Noveau Designs did a custom order for me in a larger-than-normal quantity, [...]
Gorgeous blogger ENC has created some new dress-based art for me. In case you don’t know the back story, it is as follows: I found an Alexander McQueen dress on eBay that looked like modern art; then Jill put me and the dress into some art; and then Danielle made another contribution. And here are [...]
