head cases

I blame Hedi… The second those models appeared I noticed 2 things: 1. the sexiness of a hat and 2. the perfection of a cigarette pant. (next post must discuss the pant situation!) We all know I love a perfect outfit completer and this one clearly justifies this. It’s been non-stop thinking/day-dreaming/drooling/post-it noting/wishing/waiting/wanting for that damn hat. While I would love to have the Saint Laurent… I have since gained some finance knowledge and know that this will not be happening. I found a suitable second place.. second place is the first loser but whatever. It will do. Can’t be saving for that apartment in Paris if I am buying Saint Laurent. However… I will be stalking the streets of Paris with my hat and my covered eyes and taking it all in.

read it. then see it.

“I’ve never forgotten him. Dare I say I miss him? I do. I miss him. I still see him in my dreams. They are nightmares mostly, but nightmares tinged with love. Such is the strangeness of the human heart. I still cannot understand how he could abandon me so unceremoniously, without any sort of goodbye, without looking back even once. The pain is like an axe that chops my heart. ”
Yann Martel, Life of Pi

The book changed my life. The movie made me see it in a new way other than the way I thought it to be. Both will leave a lasting impression on your heart.

Until tomorrow,

so long summer

Can we please have a moment of silence? Words cannot express my elation that the last of the summer days are behind us and fall is upon us! Fashion Week starts this week, Fashion Night Out this Thursday, apple cider, tomato soup, football has kicked off and kids are heading back to school. I couldn’t be happier!!!!!! Move over bikinis and denim shorts; hello cashmere and feather frocks! Better luck next year summer!

Until tomorrow,

oh susanna

It all started when Satine called me 13 months ago with a message simply stated….”Chloé!” This can only mean one thing….. My interest peaked…could it be regarding the coveted boot? “No, No, No, No….. they would never….or would they?The latter won! Lucky for me, they only had the red in a size 40 at the time. (and we know I do not wear red!) YES! I so do not need to be buying this boot….CPW friend came into play naturally…and now they are everywhere I go. In my dreams. In my sketches. In my magazines. In Barneys!!!!! It’s a rash that won’t let up. It’s becoming more irritated as the days go on, the harder to ignore, the more outfits in my head make this sensible. The closet speaks to me and says, “All those neutrals…All your skinny little black jeans….Please, let us play with Susanna!”

Totally works with daily aesthetic don’t you think? Questions to be asked before any shoe purchase go something like this:

1. Is this shoe walkable with Mr. Owl? (yes)

2. Is this shoe walkable with Mr. Owl when he sees a squirrel, cat or any other thing that moves? (yes, yes)

3. Is this shoe that can go from uptown to downtown and Paristown? (why it most certainly can!)

4. Is this a shoe that you will love forever and ever? (Obvi, I’ve only been dreaming of it!)

5. Is this a shoe that can be passed down to your future little miss in 100 years? (she will certainly rock them!)

6. Is this a shoe that outweighs the CPW theory on both accounts? (CPW beats any dollars spent!)

7. Is this shoe causing you to lose common sense and loss of reality thinking? (when is fashion for realists anyways?)

7. Do you take this shoe til’ death do you part? (I do! I do! I do!)

God help me next Thursday at Fashion Night Out.

Until tomorrow,

xoxo

the september issue

As I stood in the pouring rain yesterday, sans umbrella, teetering in 4″ heels,  stalking the magazine man as he unloaded the September Issue onto the shelf, this quote quickly came to mind. I took the very bottom one, a stack of eight…the crispest of the bunch, the most virgin, the one that had eye-test guaranteed fine print pages and a spine made of steel. I handed over the rare $5 and $1 that I had in my possession as my M&M’s waved sorrowfully goodbye. There she was in all her glory. The September Issue.

Anna Wintour, the Pope of the magazine, as Candy Pratts Price so gracefully reminded us in the best documentary known to man, has outdone herself on this one.* I gracefully read every word she scribed onto her page. I admired her praise for the editors, the stylists, the assistants….the visionaries of the magazine. It took me back 3 years ago when I camped out for the first installation of the documentary. The movie manager in Chelsea definitely thought I was a kook when I asked if I could have the movie poster when it was over. But there I sat, 9 total viewings, $99 hard earned dollars to listen and learn from the Anna Wintour“September is the Januray in fashion!” I still feel the excitement, the love and the giddiness every time the September Issue comes to press. And lots not even discuss the soothing, career confirming effect the DVD can do on an evening after a bad day at the office….Next day, back in the saddle!

This issue commemorates Vogue turning 120 this year. In celebration of the 120 amazing years and countless inspirations she has given us….The Voguettes compiled a carefully edited list of the 120 influential-makers under 45. It is truly inspiring and highlights true creative visionaries that make one really want to be the best. Norman Jean Roy outdid himself this time around. He shot the campaign and created a mini-movie that leaves you wanting a new documentary for this September Issue. I’ve watched it at least 489 times since Vogue released it. You can find it here.  Prepare yourself…it makes you fall in love with fashion and Vogue all over again. And to Grace Coddington, you make me love doing what I do so much more with you as a role model. Carrie Bradshaw was right; Vogue does feed you more….It gives you an energy boost and nutrient that I have yet to find in any super food.

Until tomorrow,

xoxo

*The cover choice will never be a win with me… one of the other 119 couldn’t be the front-runner? Arizona Muse perhaps?

wear now?

It’s storming in NYC at the moment. And at the moment, I’m pre-listing what I want to wear in the next few days. Let’s just say it doesn’t involve open toe sandals. Nor, anything to do with color or yachty inspired prints or stripes Yeah, yeah, yeah nothing new there….. No, it doesn’t involve shorts and it most definitely does not even closely touch the swim category. My mind is where it always is….in the fall clouds. Heavy wools, cashmere and furs. New Marant sneakers, slouchy boots and 8ft cashmere hand-knitted scarves to cocoon my neck. I’ve actually mastered the wax-jegging in this heat. Mind you, it was totally an episode out of FRIENDS with Ross stuck in the bathroom trying to get out of his skinny leather pants. It wasn’t that dramatic I assure you, but it sure did pose some problems. 98 and humid…do not wear skinny little black pants, you moron. While the storm breaks the heat, I’m going to continue to break my lil’ piggy bank. And I still have to find a dress for the wedding in Maui. Serious fashion issues.

Until tomorrow,

xoxo

P.S. Can we just talk about the Kate Moss situation for Rag & Bone? Next post.

P.S.S. How do I get on the pre-list for that goat gilet?

P.S.S. How many lunches do I need to skip to save for that goat gilet? C.P.W scenario…next, next post.
