the trench

i wasn't able to go to the steven alan sample sale last week, but a dear friend ameliorated the situation with a heddy shirt (and a book of fiendishly good stories...and a cashmere sweater...did i mention how awesome she is?).

it seems a lot of people are feeling the trench love. hopefully the weather will be mild enough that i can wear mine to the sale since it's roomy enough for both me and leon.

stripes and florals

i saw this T by Alexander Wang striped top paired with a floral rachel comey skirt at stels last week and thought it would make such a lovely outfit for spring. or for 'resort' wear, if you're going anywhere warm this winter. the top is very sheer and lightweight, but drapes amazingly thanks to the rayon+linen. of course, i'm bundled up in wool socks and blankets, so this is merely an exercise in wishful thinking.

you can get the top ($98) for 40% off with 40GRECHEN09 until Nov. 30. all regular priced items at standard deviation are 40%, and sale items are 20% off (20GRECHEN09).

i, for one, am saving my pennies for the sale in less than three weeks. wiksten at 40% off? not to mention my inability to say no to mociun tees and dresses. new york sure has a way of parting me with my money.

lena corwin's holiday sale

leon and i will be there!

rachel comey rosebud print, pt. 2

i love this print. and now i love it even more in this dress.

writer's block dress, $587 at la garconne. the name alone speaks volumes of my current state of mind. sigh. please, please go on sale.

edit: also at zoe

winter's coming

are you ready? leon is.


we're flying back to cambridge on wednesday. i'm overwhelmed by deadlines (terribly important life-changing ones) and stuck with a serious case of the mean reds. plus, my diaper bag still hasn't arrived, and all i bought at south coast plaza was a truffle from godiva.

mean reds, yeah.
