Hey blogger. Get over yourself. Seriously. Edited by Vahni of Grit & Glamour This week I’m fresh out of love and rainbows, so there will be no kumbaya intro. Doesn’t mean I don’t love y’all, but I have got to tell you that lately, I’m a wee bit peeved by the fame-whoring and big-noting going [...]

WVW: MAC & Milk DIY Tee*

I recently told you about my distaste for t-shirts, which will explain the hack job I did on this MAC & Milk tee, which was actually part of the swag we received at the last IFB Conference. I probably should have just given the tee away intact to someone who actually likes t-shirts, but after [...]

Worker V:2.0 (Ode to the Pencil Skirt)

Thumbnail image for Worker V:2.0 (Ode to the Pencil Skirt)

I wore this to work last week.  I never get to take photos in an actual office, so pretend you see a desk behind me instead of an air con unit, OK? I shot these just before I dashed out the front door for my morning commute. And, yeah, I do realize it’s another black [...]

OK. Don’t hyperventilate. I’m trying not to. I’ve been studying looks from the resort 2012 collections, and actually created a whole “best of” post, until I laid eyes on Sarah Burton’s resort 2012 collection for Alexander McQueen. It is the best of the best of the best. That’s it. I have nothing else to say [...]

Sade? What? For you youngsters who don’t know who or what the hell I’m talking about, that’s Helen Folasade Adu, OBE—the magnificently gorgeous, talented, inimitable Sade (which is pronounced Shah-day). Google and listen, darlings. She’s like no other. For some reason, I woke up last Thursday, and dressed for work very uncharacteristically. Perhaps it was [...]

WVW: Modern Greek*

This is an old and slightly risqué dress that I don’t wear often, but have worn on the blog before, though not in an outfit post. I wore it in my Build a Better Blog Vlog, which I shot almost a year ago. I prefer it without a tank top underneath, because adding a layer [...]

La Bomba

Let’s get one thing straight: La Bomba is Anika. I’m only borrowing the title for a post. Pardon me, darling Anika. You will always be the original La Bomba! I was super flattered with the mysterious Antoine of Florilège d’Esthète asked me many months ago if I would indulge him with my interpretation of his [...]

WVW: Le Kiss Kiss*

As soon as I spotted this tee, I immediately thought of Francesca of Le Kiss Kiss, who is so sweet, by the way (and was also photographed by G&G homie Lee Oliveira after we all had breakfast in NYC). Francesca, this one’s for you, babe! I told you this shirt had your name written all [...]
