Dream Jacket
It started with this… …a blurry view of a jacket hanging forlornly on a rack at a Chanel SS11 trunk show on February 17, 2011. But that was all it took. A gasp was silenced in my throat by my pounding heart. The SA and I scurried off into the dressing room...
Two More Pairs
Could you stand looking at two more pairs of sale shoes? Both courtesy of Chanel: Luckily, not too many problems with matching today… Enough with the shoes, already! you say. I promise in the next entry we’ll get to the good...
More Shoes
So another pair of sandals from sales turned up, but I’m having trouble fitting them. The size 36 I tried on at the store was too long in the back and loose around the ankle, but the 35.5 sent to me is too short in the back. So not too much luck here even if...
The Magic Of Shoes
…sigh… Clever wordplay, but was I the only one hoping LeBron would get his ring this year :D? But speaking of the heat–and it sure feels like an oven in Dallas–there’s no better respite than something summery for the feet. Here are first...
Dallas
So, a pretty rough week with travel in the mix. From these pics you can probably figure out that I’m presently in Big D. Yes, it’s about time Dirk got his ring. But no, it doesn’t make me feel any better when I think about the Spurs’ less than...
Gucci Espadrille

Shoes R Us
The good thing about June is that sale season has begun. The bad thing about June is that sale season has begun! But at least I’ll have eye candy trickling in to share with you here. So today two pairs of shoes magically showed up outside my door. The first is...
Musée De La Vie Rurale En Wallonie
One of the more interesting museums I visited this past month was the open-air Musée de la vie rurale en Wallonie. It is a remarkable compound in Saint-Hubert, on a nature reserve, consisting of original and reproduced structures representing provincial, rural life...
My Last Hurrah
While I was overseas last month, there was a furious flurry of rumors about yet another price hike chez Chanel…and a significant one at that. By the time I left Europe the price increase had already happened in Asia and Canada. And as of June 1 in the US, a...
Père Lachaise Cemetery
A little something-something is arriving this Thursday, according to the UPS online tracking, so there’ll be a fashion post on Friday if UPS is accurate. In the interim, I thought I’d take you back to Paris today to a tourist attraction, the Père Lachaise...
