Tricky Pick of the Day
I have a weakness for trompe l’oeil clothing: Trompe l’oeil stitched motorcycle jacket Trompe l’oeil safety pin skirt Trompe l’oeil zipper dress Trompe l’oeil ribbon neckline dress Trompe l’oeil Lego dress But I don’t like wearing a “crisp white shirt.” The fact that a “crisp white shirt” is supposed to be a wardrobe staple irks…

eBay Pick of the Day

Coco Chanel Was Wrong; Broken English Is Right
Coco Chanel supposedly said, “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and remove one accessory.” I’ve always wondered if she really said this. After all, she promoted wearing gobs of costume-jewelry chains. That doesn’t seem very minimalist to me. Anyway, whether or not she said it, people love to quote these alleged words…
