Karl Who, indeed. Has anyone else had a browse through the new Karl Lagerfeld collection at Net-a-porter? I've been waiting to see someone blogging about it here but, no dice. So, I'll put myself out there: I'm a little disappointed. After all the buzz and all the waiting, this is it? I like the Ordina and Oralee biker jackets and I saved the silver skinnies to a list, but I'm pretty sure I could get very similar items elsewhere. It's a bit cheeky with the collars and gloves, I get it. But, quite frankly, I think the Davina dress (above) is horrid AND it's polyester. Am I missing something? Anyone else want to weigh in?

Why is Shopbop such a tease? When I saw this lovely coat in my inbox last week, I'll admit it, I popped some girl wood. It's beautiful. And it winked at me. I went to the Shopbop website only to find they don't actually sell it. It's even flirting with me on the front page of the 'Designer Boutique'. Heartbreakers! It's happened to me before; it's not available in that color or it's a different length or they just plain don't have it at all. For all the come-hither, I get nothing. At this point, I just wanna get off . . . their mailing list.

If they don't start putting out soon, I'm making a move on that trashydiva.com. A girl's got needs.

I'm not quite sure how to source this idea (or how to do a tidy link), but I thought it was really cool so I'm sharing anyway.

And here's another example from Lost in Drawers' blog: http://lostindrawers.wordpress.com/?s=nails&submit=Search 

Check the links for the very simple instructions. I think it looks particularly cool over the gray, silly putty-ish nail color.

Have you ever left a hair salon feeling violated?
When something goes horribly awry in a matter of seconds, do you hear your own voice in slow motion? "nnNNNOOoo!"
Do you just sit there in the chair like a little kid who shouldn't question someone's genius?
And the biggest question of all:
Do you still tip?
I feel so small.
Please share.

I've been meaning to post this for a while.
Those of you buried in snow right now may have no sympathy for those of us 'braving' the super dry Southern California winter. But we may have something in common; static-charged hair.
I read this in a magazine years ago and it's always been useful to me, so I thought I'd share:
Dryer Sheets! Pull a sheet and give your hair a quick once over, or thrice over if necessary. It works.
