Favorite Things

My Keds from the Gap are so comfortable and remind me of high school cheerleading tryouts.  And why wear your heart on your sleeve when you can store treasures in heart pockets?

Wild Wild West

What do you think of the western trend?Paul & Joe Spring 2010 runway...

Chloe Spring 2010... patchwork denim. hmmChanel Spring 2010... I think this look is more barnyard w/ clogs.... but Lily Allen is jammin in the background!

I think D&G is having the most fun with it. Leather bloomers? Mickey Mouse tee? Scarf around the neck? Yes. Reminds me a bit of being a kid and Knotts Berry Farm. Makes me want to mine for gold. Ahh, the memories.This is a little closer to where I would take the look in real life. I love crisp shirts and skirts. The belt would be great with lots of looks.
Some images from the ad campaign...A cheaper option to dip your toe into western waters? How about The Gap's jean vest over a long flowy dress?I bought the dress this weekend. The leather bloomers will have to wait.

Prep Splurges

I celebrated my first day back on the mend with - what else - shopping! It felt so good to people-watch, have a pomegranite martini at The Whisper Lounge.

I ventured into J Crew & bought some new duds for Robert. (Except for the shirt of the left. It's Gap.) His job is relatively casual so I bought him some shirts that aren't like the shirts he'd wear out. Oh and ties. I haven't bought him any in years. Gasp!

The top photo is my purchases for him. I think both ties work with the middle shirt? The second photo is more true to view. I'll see if he likes them.

Am I the only one who can't handle Abercrombie & Fitch? I don't mind walking by and checking out the models. Always a must. I mind the loud music, too low lighting & heavy cologne. It's like a nightclub trying to hide the dingy decor. Oh, I just got it. It's for teens who aren't old enough to get into clubs yet... living vicariously through A&F. Right?

I'll go take my Geritol now and wash it down with Ensure.
