Got To Have It

My new summer bag purchase is backordered until July 17th and that just won't do. So I'm hoping to find her during my current travels. Two cities down and no such luck. Three more to go, and here's hoping, next up-Phoenix not only brings me lots of love and fun with my bestie and her babes, but my new Alexander Wang Rocco Leather Satchel ... in red ... with the adorable signature footed hardware. 

My Met Moment

I'm still reeling over Monday's poor attempt at honoring one of fashion's greatest nights and events of the year. Jessica Biel, come on! Kristen Stewart's Balenciaga almost made me e-bay my entire 'iaga handbag collection, which I covet. January Jones shopped at McDonalds apparently. And Christina Ricci looks like a sea urchin stuck in a conk shell. I really should have been there to save face for all of them. Had I -- this would have been my moment. Note, a little goes a long way. Dress by Peter Som Spring 2012, cuff by Charles Albert, clutch by Michael Kors, shoes by Jimmy and nails by Essie Clambake. I know I know, that name sort of throws the whole look, but the color makes it. Trust. 

Thank You LBJ

Sorry to drop off the grid for the last week. But I'm here. It's probably a good thing I was taking it easy so that I can use all my saved up energy on a serious Met Gala beat down today. Oh, my, gah' -- I have never seen such insults to high fashion and couture design. With the exception of maybe two or three favorites, I was generally offended, insulted and completely disappointed. Rachel Zoe and Karolina Kurkova should be hung. Beyonce should go back home and nurse that baby in the dark for the next year out of shame. SJP, don't even get me started girl, someone needs to take you back to your little house on the prairie and tie you to a tree. And Gwynnie, oh god, this was not Disney on Ice, and tuck your boob back in for the love. If it wasn't for Scarlett Jo, I'd feel all was lost. But thanks to her beauty and Dolce choice, there is hope. 

Namesake

This past Saturday night, my cousin and his fiance had their engagement party. For some odd reason, my entire family showed up wearing purple. A popular color for the Toms family apparently. Then, coincidentally today I stumbled upon these cuteness, with a capital CUTE, little TOMS in their new "Purple Palmetto". I guess my family and that color go hand in hand. Now I just need to get these shoes in my hands. I mean, on my feet.
