Five minutes worth of conversation and I wondering the whole time: Do I Know You? I must, because you know my name. And I know your face. But, who are you? And...where did you come from?

DYING to own this Barbour jacket. Correction. WILL own this Barbour jacket. MUST own this Barbour jacket. Other details include a double, interlocked ring so sick that it could become my wedding band. If ever. Sigh. Jeans are cool. Hoodie is so me. And those shoe that I have had my eye on since the were only available by pre-order. Now my dearest friends at Les Nouvelles only have one pair remaining and, alas, it is not my size! What is a girl to do?

Gingerly prodding my brain to remember...

Youth, immaturity and naivete stop a person from realizing the existence of karma. Or, at the very least, the existence of consequences based on actions. But lately, for me, I have really been noticing the ultimate pendulum of life. And I find that not the least bit depressing, And certainly not as moderated as it seems.

The holiday mood, starting the week of Thanksgiving, can always be summed up in one color: red. Even though I am Jewish, I still associate the seasons with red. Second or, rather, as a garnish to red, is gold. Pairing the two always works and I think that the addition of black makes it easier to pull off without looking like a Hallmark store. Plus, the dress is SO cheap but SO great. And the ring. The ring!

You have to know that I am walking into Thanksgiving this year with the greeting: Happy Thanksgiving Pilgrims.

Watch this YouTube clip or die, can you do any less?

And though today's look really has nothing to do with pilgrims, it does have to do with Thanksgiving. That it, it is an ideal look for the day. Festive, girl-ish (but only just a bit my fellow androgyny lovers!) and individual. The dress is a must because it really is not specific to just this or any holiday but, rather, is a perfect little all-around black dress. The shoes, too, are not only for one occasion. Here in Georgia I can wear them as is on Thursday, though many folks elsewhere would really benefit from sheer black hose. As for the collar and cuff? Seriously. Need I say more?

Happy Thanksgiving, Pilgrims.

Until next time,

Without comment on this blog, I left for nearly three weeks? Where and why you may ask (though prob not!)? Well the first ten days estrangement was thanks to a VERY tight deadline with paper-cut and, hence, no time to post. Then: Paris and London! What a delight to decompress in two of the very most enchanting cities in the world! Only five days in London and the rest in Paris (would have loved to have spent more time in London - that will be for the coming soon return trip with the bf). What did I see whilst there? LOVE London fashion. It is so individual, unique, experimental, and unafraid. But well curated at that. Versus Paris, which was chic in its own right. I picked up on some trends that we have been reading about stateside but have been carried off much more thoroughly and with true talent in Paris. This list of faves includes: thick (usually tortoiseshell) eyeglasses, bright orangey-red nails, thin gold jewelry, female desert boots, and delicious fur-trimmed parkas. Nothing new or avant-garde but it is something in the effortlessness of how all of these styles were carried off by the Parisiennes that made them so appealing. And therein lies my inspirations for today's look. P.S. Sephora seemed to be a major deal in Paris - in fact quite overwhelming - so the nail polish had to be sourced from there!
