Studded and spiked shoes have been done to death, and I thought the look would never appeal to me again. Well, you know what I say about the word “never”; I might as well replace it with “definitely” when it comes to fashion.

Shopping My Closet, in a Way
Every so often, I check out the vintage fashion listed on 1stdibs.com. This time I felt like I’d gone shopping without spending any money. First, I noticed this tie-dyed, velvet Todd Oldham dress from the 1990s. It’s being sold by my gorgeous friend Cherie of Shrimpton Couture. After a moment, I realized why I liked…
No Watanabe Jacket for Capricorns, Plus Simon Spurr News
Gorgeous blogger Jac of Dirty Shiny Pretty was checking out her fashion horoscope on Honestly … WTF when she realized that the Leo illustration was wearing a red version of my blue, cropped and ruffled Junya Watanabe motorcycle jacket.

The Wall Street Journal has a story headlined, “Very Bright Lipstick, All the Time.” In it, Elizabeth Holmes writes: “In the beauty world’s eternal cycle between eyes and lips, it’s lipstick’s moment.

March’s Manicure by Tracylee Percival
My last Gelish manicure by celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival lasted two weeks to the day without a crack or chip! Amazing. When I used regular polish in my pre-Tracylee days, I couldn’t get through 48 hours without a chip. The long-lasting “Vanity Fair” purple-and-black nail design finally gave up the ghost yesterday. I couldn’t decide…

Last night, MrB and I went to a screening of the HBO movie Game Change, which premieres on HBO on Saturday.
