shorty

why do we all want what we cannot have? Currently crushing on long dresses-simple and flattering at the same time-added bonus shoes do not matter.

can long dresses look as good on short people? I am not saying as "good" as the assembles Jennifer Williams "sports" on Basketball Wives but at least acceptable for the public.

What are the 5'4's to do?

vestus

i love this look-but I think that i might look a little like "fat man in little coat" (Chris Farley reference mind you). Happy Tuesday and iphone alarm clocks back on track!

Christmas Yves

Some glamor and a little luck never hurt anyone. I recently received YSL's iconic arty oval ring in turquoise and the Lucky Chyc ring from a special someone and I never want to take either of them off. I love how they are both strong and delicate looking at the same time.

Listening to Florence and the machine-dog days are over while driving home after a long day I really hope this Florence lady is right. I miss my favorite people!

velvet

it's baaack.

So i had this velvet phase in jr high. I loved all things velvet and it came in many forms-mostly tanktops. Al-please refrain from calling me the W word.

well just saw this piece from Jcrew's Madwell and have some sort of attraction to it. I can't wait to see it for myself in NY this week. le sigh. Why can't it be the weekend yet?

animals

Lately I been channeling to decorate my new apartment with animals galore. I believe it was spurred from my brilliant house warming gift-a paper mache giraffe head courtesy of my dear friend shirliu.

Long story short I want this now.

functional and timeless, who would not want a gold plated rhino?

Or how about a bird bed? I should change the name of this blog to lover of all things irrelevant.

Laters

Though I understand that not all change is bad, it still feels like the wind is knocked out you whenever it does happen. SF never felt so lonely.
