J.Crew Jackie cardigan. Talbots top. Banana Republic skirt. Geox sandals.

Get Religion

Shell & skirt, Banana Republic. Sandals, Geox.

At home, I iron religiously but on vacation, this was the outfit I chose to wrinkle on not one, but five local buses in Puerto Vallarta, complete with paintings of the Virgin Mary and a Joseph that bore an uncanny resemblance to Bill Murray. Traffic was a bit frightening, so thank God for Bill Murray.

Aestival Assets

Talbots top. Banana Republic skirt.

Dressing in two items of clothing may be on the boring side, but it certainly pleases those prone to bloating (no more Spanx-like tights! women's apparel is evil!). I wish I could don a forgiving skirt and eat my weight in guacamole every day but alas, it's back to winter for this Mexico-enamored maiden. Weekly feasts at La Taqueria will have to do until next time.

Red-Hot

J.Crew Jackie cardigan. Banana republic skirt & pumps. Lacoste headband. Vintage bracelets.

Another year older, none the wiser. My friend and coworker spoiled me with a gift card for my birthday and Christmas and I wasted no time before pouncing on this hot pink number. Next stop? An eyewear store, for my sore retinas.

The No-Pants Clause

Raoul blouse, Talbots cardigan, Banana Republic skirt & pumps, Ann Taylor handbag.

Dear friends,
I'm alive and well. Also, a little surprised that no one got my eternal recurrence joke. No Nietzsche fans? Anyway, I've been recovering whilst watching Breaking Bad from the very beginning and I couldn't help noticing how much time Bryan Cranston spends pants-less in the first season. Is this the sort of thing that is written into one's contract? "Must be pants-less at least once per episode. AMC reserves the right to choose between briefs and brief nudity."
