My Daily Covet
Deepest apologies for the absence: the great turkey called, and I was impelled to listen. Good lord, that was a lot of food.
Hope everyone had a pleasant holiday. And now, we all get to revel in the overwhelming tide of holiday anxiety as we scrabble around for gifts, greeting cards, and fruit cakes.
Never fear! I have some lovely things to show you. Let's lose ourselves in a little bit of loveliness, shall we?
1. Sophie Theallet, Patchwork printed dress: If there is one thing I love, it's a surprise. This dress delights me with its unexpected swath of polka-dot. It makes me long to start tearing my dresses asunder, and reconstructing them with the other.
2. Pamela Love, small crow skull necklace: If money were no object, this is the first piece of jewelry I would snatch up. This brass cast crow skull is haunting, elegant, and fantastic. It's like wearing a Skeksis around your neck.
3. Marni, Satin padded sandals: Seeing as how my former favorite platform sandals are now utterly trashed, I am definitely in the market for a new pair. These beauts are architectural marvels.
4. Foley + Corinna, Jersey & Charmeuse Top: There's something so decadent, and 1920's about this top. I want to wear it whilst drinking grasshoppers at a garden party.
5. Marios, circle dress: THIS DRESS. It's a top. It's a skirt. It's a mobius strip. I want to wear it.
6. Wendy Brandes Queen of Scots Necklace: I guess I'm all about the creepy, gothic jewelry these days. I think wearing this necklace would make me feel like the evil queen in Snow White. Soo wickedly awesome.
7. Vera Wang Raccoon Fox Collar Jacket: I think it's a real trick to be able to make fur feel casual, and this Wang jacket does so splendidly. You could top this puppy over jeans and t-shirt, and you would be so freshly dressed (and warm).
8. Yohji Yamamoto, Soft Twill Long Suspender Skirt: This is definitely going to be my new project: suspenders on a skirt. I think this is going to be as big a revolution as when someone first put peanut butter on a banana.
What have you been eyeing?
