Tomorrow!
Unlike this coat, which is very special, the fur that traipses through Manhattan has lost all fashionable favor for me. When I first caught a glimpse of some delicious fox fur in the early days of fall, I thought - ah, behold! New York extravagence with a cuddly cherry on top!
But now it's nearly January, and I've seen enough. Indeed, is fur so luxuriously special when everyone is wearing it? Whether it's real makes no difference - the mass-market knockoffs look fantastic. But frankly I'm over the skinny pants, ENORMOUS fur vest/jacket and long disheleved hair look (a look, by the way, I think we can all agree Rachel Zoe had a large part in creating--and, my dear fashionable friends, how much do we want to emulate the sartorial choices of an E! celebrity?). Paired with basically any boot and celebrity-sized sunglasses, this look has become the pea coat of yesteryear. I said it. I'm over it. And I'd like to see it changed.
Specifically, bring back the a-lines! These leather Louis Vuitton lovelies haven't received enough fan-fare and I'm simply baffled as to why. They provide warmth and a touch of retro luxury that is both functional and fashionable. Paired with blouse and sweater, and topped with an a-line wool coat, this look is just made for this season's Oxford-remixes (see below).

So, let us refrain from mimmicking wooly mammoths any longer and rejoice in the feminine shapes of the '50s. I believe it is possible to emphasize our womanly deliciousness without looking like Project Runway's Kensie (Kendlay? Findley? Kendall?), and during the winter months when most humans resemble lumpy marshmallows bundled in goose down and fleece.
I'll be posting some of the materials I've created since I've been at Thieme and they will be stored under the porfolio tab. We're talking catalogs, foldouts, flyers and press releases so prepare your eyes for permanent captivation.
What was that? You said you love medical textbooks? Well, Merry Christmas because this year Santa made all your dreams come true.

Happy Sunday!
If you're in the market for life advice today, I'm in the mood to dish it. Lucky, lucky you. Today's topic: Sunday reading. I usually reserve Sundays for 'comfort reads.' For instance, if my roommate is forcing me to read advance copies of YA novels, I reserve that magic for Sundays. I prefer something light, or something I've already read because this is my mental break before Joyful Mondays.
So today I give you the gift of Virginia Woolf's short stories. "The Legacy" is probably my favorite short story, and if I was a screenplay writer, I would attempt to adapt this (in the event that a screenplay writer takes this bit of life advice and profits from it, just remember, the internet and this advice is forever).
Enjoy! And don't she shy about telling me what you think! Let's have an explicating party that you organize!
