Cold Weather Stripes

It's annoying how cute Cardigan by Lynne Hiriak stripe tees, sweaters, and accessories really are. And it's double annoying that they're too damn expensive. Even with a $100 off promo code (CARDIGANS), pieces like this adorable scarf or a pair of elbow-length knit gloves are still pretty steep.

Although, now that it's cold, these things are more of a necessity than an extravagance...right?

It's Baaaack

Finally! A Glee episode that reminds me of the Season 1 magic. All the boys' songs were hits (Bob Marley, Teenage Dream, Free Your Mind / Stop! In the Name of Love medley), and the girls' one number was a flop. What can you do?

The best a capella version of Katy Perry ever:



Confession: Around minute 1:40, it started to reminded me of Imogen Heap. Not that that's a bad thing.

Fur Vests (Pt. 2)

I can't believe I posted this almost (exactly) a year ago, and I'm still coveting a fur vest. Whatever happened to the power of positive thinking?

New Shoes

Two months after our first encounter, these Madewell shoes are finally mine. I wore them today, and my feet burned with the pain of a thousand blisters. But I patched up my heels with a strip of moleskine, and they are much better. Thanks for asking.

Clemence Poesy

I've been lamenting the loss of Clemence Poesy from Gossip Girl for 23 days, 1 hour, and 41 minutes. As my roommate Janelle says, "She brought the classy to Gossip Girl." If anyone has already started a petition to reunite her and Chuck, I'll sign that right now. Message me.

Givenchy Haute Couture 2010

I swore off fashion show posting for the last month (residual hard feelings from NY Fashion Week). I know this collection is quite old by now, but it's my favorite from the haute couture shows so I couldn't help posting. (photos via vogue.com)

Emma Roberts

I never took much notice of Julia Roberts' niece. She seemed like a nice enough girl – someone in line to be the next Disney teen queen. So I was surprised and super impressed with her performance as a teen cutter in It's Kinda a Funny Story. It might not have persuaded me to watch Hotel for Dogs or Nancy Drew, but I'll be looking forward to seeing what she does next.
