Sooo boring

Every media is busting out the year's recap of the best, the worst and the most epic fashion moments.Then it's the resolution confession to lose weight, get on a budget and write a book. Trite and predictable

Not happening here.(OK I'll give you one: buy crazy ridiculous shoes. No more of this safe basic shit)

While it is exciting to write a new date on the checkbook, lets just all promise to continually strive to be better, maybe starting March 3rd? Until then, get some rest with the Kawamura Ganjavian's Ostrich Pillow. Just $99 at Studio Banana Things

Orange Pants

We girlies have had our discount designer websites since the beginning of the internets. Men, not so much, but ocassionally there are standouts. One of my favorites,  Park & Bond caters more to the on trend yet quality connoisseurs unlike the posh Mr Porter, husband of Gilt.  Sadly,  these connoisseurs must have been in short supply as P&B will be shutting down next month. Good news/bad news: now all  the Rag & Bone, J Brand Vince, and Scotch & Soda is on sale

Fried Egg Gummies

One of the grosser gifts I got, yet surprisingly delicious.

It was a practical Christmas this year: iPhone 5, gun safe, Burbon and guitar pick maker. You know, the essentials

Hey Anonymous, try not using your personal IP address

Genius chefprenteneur Neal Brown has taken it to the next level of confidence with his new line of T shirts featuring bad Yelp reviews of his restaurants Pizzology and Libertine. Both of which are fabulous BTW. I should add these reviews are by amateur critics and should be taken with a large grain of black Agean Sea salt. You can get it at the aforementioned dining spots

I  am thinking about have some IFB shirts made featuring some of the idiotic comments I get. Sadly, they are not the least bit clever or interesting. Perhaps the "Get a Real Job" one would make the cut. That would be so much more hilarious if you knew the occupation of the one who spewed this. I could even do it on zazzle and make mugs and iphone cases! Fun!

INSPIRATION

I love me some art fashioney giant books. Need to get me a present? Check my Amazon wish list; easy peezy. This was the latest from little E, and it is fabulously strange, snaps taken from phtographer Tim Walker's portfolio of magazine shoots and weighs 9 pounds.

On another note, I am finding it nearly impossible to find a cute iphone 5 cover. It's all 4G 4G 4G. I may just have to make my own

Who Arted? #2

Overwhelmed by First Friday Gallery walks? Smaller galleries in the city have come up with a brillant idea called, originally enough, Second Saturdays complete with the usual late night wine and cheese receptions. Never one to shy away from trends, I went to the Indianapolis Art Center where I walked through a room tented in fabric scraps with tendrils of paper brushing backs and shoulders (dislike), scooted around tall wooden aliens with great taste in necklaces and marveled at an entire parking lot of trash compressed and neatly framed. The star of the night was Aak Langeek and his optical illusion busily crumbling paintings. A dapper Dutchman in tall riding boots, his huge works formed a cohesive collection that is rare for a first timer and they are at once soothing in pattern play and fascinating in their intricacy. See it until January.

On another note, El Sol has changed their food prep and I do not approve. Margs are still amazing thank god

William Rast jacket, Juicy thermal top, All Saints skirt, Barneys Co-Op boots, Fox's socks, he has a lot of really great rag ones I am always stealing

Like ID gum but better

Interchangable layers snap off with ease for a myriad of looks, who does not want that in their apparel? I admit to a personal fascination with Affectation Clothing. Probably because my friend, Ian Stikeleather founded it and of course the whole magnet thing which is my family bidness. See it featured in Glamour Magazine and if you likey Kickstarter him
