Bringing the Past into the Present at Banana Republic

I love this necklace. I tried it on in a store about six weeks ago. Makes you feel like you’re the princess of some small but chic nation-state. Keep waiting for Shop it to Me to tell me it’s on sale.

What I Bought at the Latest A.V. Max Sample Sale

Leslie — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 20:55:27 +0000

I didn’t get my act together to post about A.V. Max’s recent sample sale in advance — but here’s what I got!

Everything above was between $5-$15. Insane.

How have you been?

Michelle Obama’s Take on the Double-Strand

Michelle Obama gives us some middle ground between stodgy and skanky. It’s the old power necklace, the double-strand, but not in pearls.

My best guess is blue chalcedony? Or maybe jade? Love it.

Happy Beads from A.V. Max

I keep this long necklace on my dresser, not because I wear it often, but because I love to look at it.

I busted it out last weekend to put a little pep in my step.

JCrew Spring Stuff Out Now. Cue the Dancing Sailors!

Leslie — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 16:54:07 +0000

On the one hand, it’s your typical “resort” collection — the one that comes out while there’s still slush on the ground that makes you wonder who the hell can afford to take a trip to Bermuda in late January. (Besides Michael R. Bloomberg.)

On the other hand, how can you argue with how happy, Spring-y, and blue everything is?

Welcome back, nautical theme, old friend!

JCrew’s Fall Accessories…S’wonderful!

Leslie — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 11:00:48 +0000

Like you’re digging in your grandmother’s trousseau, if your grandmother was a foxy yet bookish French brunette. Hello, Funny Face.

JCrew, you’re killing me.

Just noticed the contrasting “raspberry” thread on the above necklace. Yum. Reminds me of this necklace spotted at Ann Taylor Loft earlier in the summer.

If you haven’t seen Funny Face, please do yourself a favor and rent it. It is, as they say, the only movie with the nerve to rhyme Sartre with Montmartre.
