Sometimes, you feel like you have something in common with a nun. You aren’t willing to go all the way and convert but you feel like you can pull it off. And then, you test-drive a Giambattista Vali resort 2013 outfit.

Oh outer-space! By Versace.
When the space girls go clubbing:
I want to live where you live Donatella!
Après tennis from Elizabeth and James resort
This photo is reminds me of tennis time when I was ten years old. No, it wasn’t even close to what I wore. My mom wouldn’t even invest in a tennis skirt for me, she thought gym shorts were just fine for a little teen whose job was to learn, not to show off, yet. She was right, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t imagine myself in a tennis outfit, or at leasts an après tennis outfit like the one above: headband leftover from practice, baggy white dress that you can breathe in (you’re so hot from the workout) and comfortable sandals. So tennis-playing ladies, take inspiration!
Band of Outsiders channels Miss Havisham
Love the dress and matching raincoat. If I’m going to be left at the altar I want it Band of Outsider’s style.
This is also beautiful. Except I believe this modern day Ms. Havisham will do something great with her life, like paint a masterpiece or write a novel.

Another wildcat gem by Kenzo
The theme of the wildcats jewelry continues. This piece from Kenzo is a little more youthful and colorful than the Baublebar jaguar earrings I recommended in a previous post. If those are for raising venture capital and keeping your slew of young copywriters in line, this Kenzo gem is for the youngster looking to be a powerful woman in the future, sort of as the training wheels to full-on power jewelry.
Can I please have for a rainy day? Kimono to keep my dry, brights peeking from underneath to keep me cheerful.
Bad bridesmaid by Camilla and Marc
Wedding season is coming up and so is the outfit for the bff you would happily never see again:
Sneakers by Ash, dress by Camilla and Marc, belt by Rag & Bone, beer by Diet Coke. Hey, it’s not your fault she couldn’t take a hint and asked you to be in her wedding, right?!
Maria Ruskin from Bonfire of the Vanities
I’ve been reading Bonfire of the Vanities. It’s one of those books where you really, really want to picture the characters, their movements, their style, the way of speaking. Maria Ruskin (the mistress) was on my mind all day.
There she is, the wavy hair, the dark eyes, the expensive lingerie. And even though Wolfe describes a short white dress, checkered pumps and a silk blouse, the modern day Maria would dress like this:
And her shoes (which the main character could tell were fashionable) would be like this:

Honey, please don’t take out the trash! I’m making a dress out of the bag for next date night.
