Jean from Ghost Tailor ch-ch-ch-changed the neckline of my favorite Francis graffiti dress. (Don’t worry! Christian approves.) Here’s the new look, paired with my Nuit ring in the ugly hallway. Here’s the old look in sunny Paris. Here’s David Bowie. Speaking of rock stars, I wore the updated dress (get yours at Bloomie’s!) to dinner…

Not Exactly a Dime a Dozen
When I get a particularly amazing piece of clothing, I don’t like to show it to people — or even tell them about it — until I get to wear it. That can take months or, occasionally, years. I’m making an exception to my rule due to gorgeous blogger Couture Carrie, who last month wrote…
A Note
While having Bellinis at a hotel bar in Paris, I pointed out that there were little notepads and pencils on all the tables. I wondered if they were for the kind of peeps who would be hashing out some kind of multi-billion-euro business deal over drinks. Those peeps always need a pad for writing lots…
I’ve Got Heart
Gorgeous ex-blogger ENC did a little Photoshop work on Tuesday’s sequined pants photo so you can see it without the ugly carpeting. Last night, I decided to go with a tough biker chick look for our eighth wedding anniversary dinner at Balthazar. Here I am in my leather vest, hanging around with some graffiti and…
Meet Marilyn and, Maybe, Me
Last week, I wrote about a lovely lady who was auctioning off the Ossie Clark dress she wore at her 1973 wedding. I was delighted when the seller — Marilyn — replied to my post! I especially enjoyed her description of the Ossie-employed friend who appears with her in this picture. Marilyn wrote, “My BFF…
I’ve Seen a Ghost (Tailor)
I’ve mentioned Jean, the proprietress of Ghost Tailor, quite a few times on this blog. I found Jean when I was desperately looking for someone to alter some sweaters for me. No one wants to alter sweaters, which baffles me. It’s not like the sweaters grow on the sheep in ready-to-wear condition. (Designer to sheep:…
Todd Oldham Flashback
I stumbled across a great video of designer Todd Oldham‘s 1993 Spring show here. The clothes are colorful, models are glamazons and everyone looks like they’re having a great time. So much better than a lot of shows today, where blank-faced, half-starved souls wobble down runways. And 1993 Todd is as cute as a button….
Wearing My Heart on My Cape
As a proud New Yorker, I must, must, MUST have this cityscape cape by my wonderful designer friend Zang Toi. Coming Going I’m sure I’ve had these images on my computer since Zang presented this piece last September, but I searched them out after Zang mentioned the cape over dinner at his insanely beautiful apartment…
Asked and Answered Again
Don’t forget to keep voting for me for Best Fashion Blogger of 2008! I won’t be able to miraculously generate thousands of votes in a couple of hours (hmmm) but I’d like to still have a strong showing. In my second campaign speech, I offered to answer any questions you had. I answered the first…
