Last blog

Well, not really but I just bought a new bag at the Chloe boutique
near Place de Concorde and now I'm super poor so I can't shop for a
loooong time. So what would be the point of my blog?

I'll post a photo of it when I get home.

I also picked up the newest Chloe fragrance. The French sales guy
totally suckered me into it. Seriously. I will buy anything from a gay
man. This guy probably wasn't even gay but he's French so who knows.
Haha.

We still have two more full days in Paris. I guess I'll go sightseeing
now. Oh look! It's the Eiffel Tower!

Done!

Made in France

We finally made it to Paris. Budapest was lovely. We stayed at this
gorgeous hotel with a swanky spa/pool area. You know its nice when
kids aren't allowed! We sat in the hot tub every night.

The Gellert thermal baths were nice too. We went after a long day at
Castle Hill. We were enjoying ourselves so much that even the speedo
clad oldies didn't make us wanna barf.

Speaking of barf, our hotel in Vienna looked as if ikea yakked all
over the place. They were trying to be too cool. It was icky, but
clean and new.

I can't say the same for our place in Paris. This place is pretty much
scuzzy. It smells like old people. At least there's a washing machine.

I better go buy an Hermes wallet to make myself feel better.

It's my coat

Smells like onions

I don't know what it is! Prague totally smells like onions everywhere!

I woke up at 3am today. I blame jet lag. I need to try and stay up
tonight so I wake up later tomorrow. But at least the free breakfast
at our hotel was surprisingly good. Fried eggs mmmm! Too bad they
charge $40 to use the pool and sauna!

All the young folks are totally emo. Eyeliner, stripey dyed hair... Am
I in Kent, WA? Even H&M was emo. Ugh I can't wait to be back in Paris!

Vacay part II

Sitting at the airport now. First time on Air France!

Smoochie!

Vacay

So it was my bf and my fake anniversary yesterday. I say fake because
we didn't have an exact date and I wanted an anniversary so he let me
just pick a day.

Anyway, I bought him this really nice Prada down vest that was on
sale. And you wanna know what he got me?

Some long underwear... And being that he's a graphic designer, he made
me the second part of my gift - a voucher for a trip to Mexico, which
he will plan! Holy crap! How can one person be so awesome and lame at
the same time?!

I guess if he actually plans something then he'll be super duper
fantastic and if he doesn't then he'll just be normal! Haha! He aims
usually aims low, so sadly my expectations are pretty low too! Isnt
that sad?

But I <3 him nonetheless!

frock you

my favorite dress of the week (on sale, of course)

Ok ok... I couldn't decide which was my favorite this week.

I really like this Wayf dress with the peter pan collar. It's on sale for $127.75.



I also really like this 3.1 Phillip Lim, on sale for $228.20.



Ron Herman always has good sales. If you want to save more, wait until next week or so. It'll probably be down to 70% off. But watch out, they might not have your size any more!

baby tee

Dammit! This is why Old Navy clothes are so cheap. I bought this top a couple weeks ago and just pulled it out of the laundry. Why did it shrink like four inches??

But at least I was too lazy to change into something else this morning. My muffin needs to breath.

off target?

Hmm. Maybe I was wrong about Jovovich-Hawk being the next in line for GO International.. Then again maybe Jonathan Saunders is after. Who knows!?

I'm not too familiar with his line but from the looks of his site, it's very pretty, not quite as edgy as the other designers.

This is the article from Women's Wear Daily.

Saunders to Hit Target?
By Nina Jones

Could Jonathan Saunders be the next designer to create a collection for Target?

According to industry sources, the Scottish designer is in talks with the Minneapolis-based retailer to produce a limited-edition collection for Target’s GO International range, which spotlights new names in the fashion industry.

If a collection does go ahead, Saunders would be following in the footsteps of Erin Featherston, Alice Temperley, Proenza Schouler, Luella Bartley and Loeffler Randall, who have all designed collections for the store.

Saunders declined to comment Tuesday, while a spokeswoman for Target could not be reached for comment.

Saunders, who is known for his inventive prints, is no stranger to cheap chic: His latest collection for the British high street retailer Topshop features jersey dresses printed with bold, primary color shapes. It will hit stores in the U.K. later this month. Saunders is also leaving London’s runways to show his fall 2008 collection during New York Fashion Week.

morning coffee

IM conversation with the hag this morning ~

hag: thank you for all your help while I was out. i was so sick on Friday. Couldn't even swallow my throat and head hurt so bad. Oh well it's behind me now. But thank you.
LRB: ic
LRB:: were you here on fri? i don't remember
hag: oh your [sic] funny.
hag: thanks, that really makes me feel wanted

Gawd I'm such a b*tch but I guess that's my name, huh? (BTW, I wasn't even the one covering for her! And I've confirmed that she didn't even thank either of the gals who did!) So then I totally ignore her last response and 10 minutes later she IMs me again:

hag: just kidding, it's ok not to notice when I'm not here, it's not like we sit by each other or anything. LOL

For more backstory go here.


Is it me or is she totally passive aggressive? I don't care. I have three more days until vacation! I don't have time to boost her self-esteem. So I guess I'll just stomp on it.
