Last month, when I wrote about wearing a vintage feather-trimmed gown for the first time since 1995, gorgeous blogger Lexie of Little Boat said, “… you often write about formal dresses — which makes me wonder — how do you dress ‘everyday’? While I know you could definitely rock that dress while grocery shopping, do [...]

I’m hard at work on changes to my website that I hope will be implemented later this month. As always, the computer is on my lap and Law & Order reruns are on the TV. I looked up just in time to recognize a brightly colored dress on a character who was being questioned by [...]

In case you’ve lost track of the cast of characters in my life, here it is: My idol is Coco. My main pimp is Ice-T. My greatest obsessions are Sam Waterston’s eyebrows. My musical goddess is Lady Gaga. I haven’t had a hero since 2008 when comedian Katt Williams went crazy. I thought of placing [...]

I haven’t worn sneakers anywhere except the gym (with one hot-air-ballooning exception) for more than 20 years. Even when clambering around castle ruins, I prefer wearing cork wedges. Gym sneakers that look cute with bike shorts on the elliptical machine don’t work with my red lipstick and regular clothes. So I’ve been on the lookout [...]

Remember how I asked you to guess whether or not I got the Jean-Charles de Castelbajac sailor outfit? It was a trick question! I got a navy blue version of the white pants I was wearing in the picture and a different nautical-themed top. So, yes, I got a head-to-toe outfit, but it wasn’t the [...]

Happy 4th of July to my U.S. readers! I know I spend way too much time thinking about fashion because Uncle Sam’s outfit reminds me of Viktor & Rolf’s Fall/Winter 2000/2001 collection instead of vice versa. I also know I spend too much time watching Law & Order reruns because Uncle Sam makes me think [...]

Last weekend, I wore a stake for a True Blood viewing party. This week, I’m wearing a vampire-themed temporary tattoo I got at Coney Island. Here’s a close-up. My vampire looks much more like Sesame Street’s Count than like Eric Northman, so thank goodness he’s not permanent. A much better True Blood tribute is Snoop [...]

Tonight I’m at gorgeous blogger Tina’s apartment to watch True Blood‘s season 3 premiere. My jewel for the evening is a luxe version of the silver Vampire Diana ring from Friday’s post. The silver ring has a silver heart and silver stake that was made all as one piece (fewer parts means lower labor costs). [...]

I couldn’t wait for True Blood’s third season to start this Sunday on HBO so I recently spent three days reading eight of the Charlaine Harris books that inspired the show. I downloaded them one at a time on a Kindle and, by the end of the three days, my credit card company was calling [...]

I am calling for a national day of mourning because the original Law & Order has been canceled after a mere 20 years on the air. Do you realize what this means? SAM WATERSTON’S EYEBROWS WILL BE UNEMPLOYED. Sam and his brows have been a major obsession of mine. I don’t know how I’ll go [...]
