Gorgeous blogger Oh Lady E was in town on Friday. We had dinner at Novita, then hopped a cab to Orchard Street to see if my friend Evan was at his shop. He wasn’t, so we wandered across the street to Hairy Mary’s Vintage & Design, where we met the delightful Sharon. Sharon has some…

I’m Premio to the Sixth Degree
Where the hell do memes come from? Are there elves in a workshop slaving over odd little things to pass around on teh Internets? Does Al Gore have a workshop? If he does, is he paying the elves a living wage? Anyway, you’ve probably all seen this one by now. It’s an award, created by…
Meet Cherie of Shrimpton Couture
I discovered the vintage delights of Shrimpton Couture through owner Cherie’s blog. I have been perusing her site for months without buying anything.

Also, gorgeous blogger Fabulous Girl came to my recent trunk show and gave me a good review (phew!). Speaking of reviews, check out this hilarious takedown of Angelina Jolie’s new movie. But…
Gala Is Darling
Whenever a fashion blogger quits, changes URLs or seeks therapy and psychopharmaceuticals due to negative comments on her blog, I think of this lovely, civilized post from Gala Darling.
