Skirt #3
We’ve been having a heat index of triple digits here in my part of the world, and I can see people literally walking around in slow motion. The brain functions at half capacity and the body is twice as sluggish. Let’s see if I can even put more than three...
Move Over Orange, Malaysia Exclusive Is Here
Today’s entry’s title is rather timely, based on my last post and a recent comment from my dear reader, D. She recounted a bittersweet story about her own hunt for the Birkin and unfortunately, it’s not the first time that I’ve heard from...
The Hunt For Orange
It’s Friday here, the markets are still in free fall around the world, Mother Nature won’t let up with the natural disasters (did you hear about that freak storm at the concert in Hasselt, Belgium right after the one in Indiana?), and I just finally...
Skirt #2
Part 2 of my Chanel skirt series is about a floor-length heavy tweed skirt from the 08A season that’s more about Carolina Herrera than Coco Chanel. When I was fifteen or so I saw a photo of one very elegant Ms. H sitting in a floor-length skirt and a chair, on a...

It seems like with every trip I try a different bag in the hope of anointing it as the Ultimate Travel Bag. I’ve tried pretty much everything under the sun, of all sizes, shapes, and price points…to no avail. But a recent score from sale season may have...
Matching For Dummies
Remember those yellow covered books–Photoshop For Dummies, Dating For Dummies, et al? I know, we all laugh about them and deny ever flipping through them, but when I’m in my closet I secretly wish for such a handbook on how to match accessories to clothes....
How To Make A Camellia
I’ve written about my virtual bff in Kuala Lumpur before, and in today’s post she’s letting me share some of her photos from a recent event at the Chanel boutique in Malaysia where artisans showed customers how to make a camellia: Apparently it...
Jeweled Gladiator
I’ve been telling myself that I need to get out of my rut and start wearing heels more often…as a way to improve my posture. I know, that makes not much sense because most podiatrists would tell you that high heeled shoes were invented by men with fetishes...
