One of my jewelers has developed a passion for taking videos with his iPhone. Here I am looking dubious about it. I’m wearing the hat gorgeous blogger Jennine got for me at Tar-Jay. I think it’s a lot better than this chicken hat that I tried on while out on the town with another gorgeous…

Seeing Blue
I like! UPDATED TO ADD: How could I mention blue sunglasses without mentioning Anne Slater, who’s famous for her blue glasses? The shame! Thanks to gorgeous blogger Belle de Ville for jogging my memory.
Thanks for Giving (II) and Thanks for Getting
Gorgeous blogger Suzanne of Idee Fixe lured me out in a fierce snowstorm last night. How could I resist her? On December 18, she admired my swear rings. On December 19, she bought them. That’s fine decision-making for you. Suzanne and her husband plowed into Manhattan in their four-wheel drive, picked up MrB and me,…
Who Says I’m Hard to Shop For?
My birthday is on December 23 and I was excited to tell y’all exactly what I wanted: a metal eye patch like the one worn by Alexander Skarsgard in Lady Gaga‘s Paparazzi video. It was listed for only $102 at Not Just a Label. Unfortunately, someone bought the eye patch before I could post about…
Want to Buy Me a Gift?

Annie sent me a Sleepytime Eye Mask in Scarlet Scroll. The mask is filled with lavender to help banish insomnia. Sleepytime Eye Mask Click photo to buy on Etsy….
Leader of the Pack
I was amused by yesterday’s New York Times article about how round sunglasses are the hot look this summer. Here’s how it starts: “Was it only last year that round sunglasses were considered square? The hot eyewear look of 2008 was pretty much defined by plastic Wayfarer knockoffs, garish neon trapezoids often seen color-coordinated with…
The Pen Is Pinker Than the Sword
I’ve been brightening up the inside of my purse lately. In addition to my purple wallet, I have a red phone, a turquoise business-card holder and a green datebook. I also have a heart-shaped, light-blue keychain by Aspinal, which I got in an issue of Tatler last year. I love that British magazines sometimes include…
A Tip of the Top Hat
Those of you who like hair doodads and top hats should check out the Victoria & Albert museum shop. The top-hat hair clips are £8 and the bands are £12. If only 3D will do, BratBoutique sells mini top hats on Etsy. Separately, I tip my imaginary hat to TokyoBunnie for finding the cuteness that…
Have Shawl, Will Travel
I’m on my way to D.C. for the evening. I’m bringing this with me. Beaded and befeathered shawl by Zang Toi
