I know lust is one of the seven deadly sins, but sometimes it feels good to lust, because it gives you reason to motivate, and make a list, and save accordingly, so you can get a select few items that you know will help make you feel sexy in 2012, in just the right way.
This is my lustlist:
Beso Beso Alas Earrings
Girl On A Motorcycle Vivienne Clutch at Telltale Vintage

At the age of 35 there are a few things I have come to realize. Like the fact that when I have money I like to spend it, not save it (hence, no more credit cards). Denying myself things is not one of my strengths, because even if those things only bring a short thrill, I believe in having as many thrills as possible in life. Ala, when I walked into Telltale Vintage a couple weeks ago to return a shirt, I walked out with two others, and…this fabulous, locally made, leather cuff by Girl on a Motorcycle.
I’ve also realized that life takes a lot of courage. People will try to bring you down, love will try to break you, and loss will make you doubt yourself. And this will happen over, and over, again. It takes a lot of courage to keep going and not check out, stay strong, continue to believe in yourself, and everything you’re working towards.
This December, remember that there are 55 different words for courage, and that a small purchase at a local vintage store may give you just enough of a thrill to believe in yourself again.
LA Fashion Week is here, and a lot of people are talking about a lot of things that are the next hot thing. Instead, I want to focus on what Christian Dior (and me) believe to be at the heart of being haute, and it has nothing to do with couture…
Accent: That little personal touch that makes a dress…your own. The accent must always have the touch of your personality… The place you put a clip… The way you tie a bow… How you fold your scarf… The colour you choose for your flower…
Elegance: The right combination of distinction, naturalness, care, and simplicity. Outside this, believe me, there is no elegance. Only pretension.
