Designer Anne Fontaine in her own blouse, via Factio Once in a while I walk by Anne Fontaine’s store on Madison Avenue and feel tempted to go inside. The French designer specializes in white and black blouses. Generally, I don’t like how I look in a button-down top but some of the pieces are pretty…

Trendi Wendy
Trendi likes my Juana ring. Trendi Blog said some really nice things about my work. Go check it out! Thanks, Trendi! The blog is part of Trendi.com, a fashion site that’s launching this fall. Click here for more information. Trendi Wendy isn’t as amusing as Terri Berry, but I still like it.
Another Day…
Another fashion blogger, another pair of American Apparel leggings. Sunday Girl bucked the trend, though, and went for the gold. Looking good! (Photo from Sunday Girl’s Beautiful Garbage blog.) Queen of the Posh and Broke also has a new latex post. And the latest issue of People Magazine shows Ashley Olsen and Mischa Barton wearing…
Keep or Return?
I ordered this all-over-argyle sweater from J. Crew. I thought it would be fun to wear with white jeans this winter. But, as I expected, the small is too big and the XS will probably be too small, so I’d have to get this one taken in. Is the sweater worth the effort? Speaking of…
Thursday Book Club: Kristin Lavransdatter
I had intended to continue with the wives of Henry VIII today, but I wanted to re-read a book about Catherine of Aragon. So, instead, I present to you Kristin Lavrandatter by Nobel prize-winning Norwegian author Sigrid Undset, a master of historical fiction. I visited Norway in July. I’d been pining for the fjords for…
Great Minds Think Alike … About Rosette Dresses
I felt like I’d seen this before…. I just got an email from ShopBop showing an Alice + Olivia dress (above) that looked like a Marchesa dress worn by Sienna Miller earlier this year. As I was looking for photos of the latter for a side-by-side comparison, I found Catwalk Queen had already nailed this…
Purple and Silver
The purple-and-silver combo from The Sartorialist that I saw on Cherry Magazine made me think of this Ossie Clark dress (below). I wore it to the Factory Girl premiere in January (I loved that movie and don’t care what anyone else thinks). The photo is unusually craptastic, but I am sharing it anyway because this…
Another Picture of the Britney Spears Ring, Y’all!
It took me a while, but I’ve scanned the OK! Magazine cover as promised. Click the photo to enlarge and you’ll see that my Borgia ring is taking part in a topless, Sapphic pool romp via Britney Spears’s right hand (and boob). Scan of OK! Magazine cover Here’s the closeup: In case you don’t recall,…
So FASH’on Is So Nice
Diana, the DIY queen of So FASH’on, passed along this cool badge to me. Now I get to pass it along to five other bloggers. So here you go, ladies! In Yr Fshn, because she’s the future accessories editor of Vogue and I must curry favor while I can. Modern Marie, because I can never…
Ahead of My Time, Once Again
Ben Widdicombe of the New York Daily News has chimed in on Hogan’s misguided Chrissie Hynde tribute FOUR DAYS after I wrote about it! Better late than never, I guess! Just to refresh your memory, Hogan named a ponyskin bag after Hynde, who is an ardent PETA activist. By the way, I emailed Hogan on…
