I love graphic tees that make me laugh. My brother Danny is one of those cool Williamsburg hipster types and always pulls them off. I always ponder whether I can pull them off while remaining “downtown chic.”
My quest for graphic tees has brought me from fabulously tacky Bingo Fashion tees (be your gram for Halloween!) to fabulous tees like this:
So maybe I can pull of the Graphic tee look?

Belabumbum loves them some bloggers so they are doing a great promo for their favorite blogs and readers — an exclusive 15% off fall discount on their website.
Just enter “FALL09″ at checkout from October 28-November 28 and stock up. My favorite is the Copacabana Lace line of separates!

To enter, tell me your favorite thing in your closet!
I’ll announce the random winner on Halloween. Good luck, xo!
BERKELEY THE BASIC BLACK SILK DRESS, $170. By Sofie Olgaard. The perfect slinky basic black dress updated for fall. Long-sleeved minis are so 80’s and in right now.
BOWIE SNAKE LEGGINGS, $60. By Mink Pink. So Hot. I need new latex leggings and this little variation is the perfect refreshment for my closet at a great price point.
AFERDITIE BLOUSE, $164. By Dace. I adore the long neck ties on this. I’m going to let them just drape long on both sides like a scarf. This is a great layering piece for under blazers or a furry vest so I picked it up in both off white and black.
All from stantonjames.com. Ah, after a day of work and online shopping I am sustained again. Well… maybe I need a pair of shoes…
Now that I remember what it is like to NOT have the flu, I feel like a million bucks! Everything is making me happy like a 5-year-old. Currently, I am loving this happy rainbow cake from Fresh Direct.
I got giddy and decided I’d wait to order it for a certain someone’s pending birthday. Then I thought, maybe I will get creative and make my own!? How cute would this be in cupcake form? So I tooled around the internet. Look at all of the adorable rainbow baked goods I found:
Magnolia’s, take note.
Oh. My. Freaking. Goodness.
I just came out of a 13 day bout with the flu. I went to the doc to get tested and it wasn’t Swine Flu aka H1N1, just the regular seasonal flu. Still– IT KNOCKED ME OUT! I had fevers that shot up to almost 105 degrees, felt like total crap, and watched TV to the point where I now never want to watch again. Did you know the typical flu lasts 7-14 days? I didn’t. I will now be getting an annual flu shot.
GET YOUR FLU SHOT, lovies.
It’s good to be back. Ahhh– time to get through 800 emails so please be patient if you’ve contacted me. :o)

I died when Morgan sent me a link to these Jimmy Choos today. They light up when you walk.
THIS IS TOO GOOD. Thank you Tamara and Sandra for making these for all us kids of the 80’s that used to rock LA Gear light-up sneakers. I totally want them to stomp all over the Meatpacking District…

Check out my quirky new wares from Erica Weiner, my favorite NYC-based jewelry designer.
Vertebrae Necklace, $45 — this necklace has tiny polished snake vertebrae on it (creepy?) — I love it. Seriously, who else will have a necklace like this?
Vintage Name Bangles, $20 for 5 — E.W. salvaged these amazing old-time bracelets from the 1960’s. You get five names which could include Dorothy, Shirley, MaryAnne, Phyllis, Sheila, Marilyn, Peggy, Sherry, Marlene, Sandra, or Irene. I love surprises.
Check out the whole line at www.ericaweiner.com. I have to log onto the site only when I’m in a frugal mood because I seriously always want everything.
I have wanted a Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Bag for FOREVER. While I was searching for this season’s new colors, I found this amazing RM wallet. $185.
This is totally the wallet every shopgirl will comment on…
