Michael Kors has my number and it's pretty annoying considering I cannot (and would not) spend the kind of money his work demands. He is relentless! Between the 80's aviator shades and the tortoiseshell wayfarers -- it's like like he's all cozied up in the tiny (fine, fine, sizable) section of my brain reserved for reveries about Things I'll Never Have Because I'm Just Not That Chic (Or Loaded). Or an officers wife in the 1940's. I mean, it would have SUCKED to be worried sick about the whole Your Fella vs. WWII bout day in and day out, but busting out the glam and gams when he came home? I kind of suspect it might be totally worth it.
I mean, LOOK AT THIS LOVELY SUIT:
Can you not just imagine making out on the docks in that? You know you can.
I've spent the better part of the last week doing all kinds of fasion-ish research and somewhere between pouring over a bridal magazine (easy, I was there for the ruching and ruching alone) and trying to figure out just what the readers of Harpar's Bazzar could possibly do for a living to be able to afford anything in there, the fashion world quit seeming like a whole lot of superficial frivolity and a lot more like some kind of art. For as much as I hate surprises, it's pretty wondrous when a world I wasn't sure I was privy to suddenly opens up, not because I was specifically invited, but because I finally quit assuming that I wasn't.
This doesn't mean I'll be pulling together a look-book tomorrow or beating down Nordy's doors for the next Half-Yearly sale (kill me now), or that I'll ever stop preferring to shop alone (with a list of what I want in mind and a will to walk out with only that). It's probably not in me to become appreciative enough to just go and look and coo. I think it just means I'm all the more eager to win the lottery and thus have a personal shopper, Laundress (or Laundman?) and insanely huge custom closet. With pieces like this, can you really blame me? Shhhhiiiiiiiiiiit.
That's MRS.Man Eater To You!

Wow, that is an awesome line!! I would buy pretty much every one of those items too! Good find...now let's go win the lotto. (oh & you haven't lived until you've been at Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale before the doors open! ok, ok, I'll just have to do it for you again this year!)
Yes, beautiful collection.Love the fitted suit...Did you happen to see the Ugly Betty when she has to plan a fashion show for the crazy German designer (two weeks ago I think). Helps her finally realize that fashion is an art.I definitely appreciate fashion as art; I just can't emulate fashion as art.
Whose hair is that??????????
