Mom is still not convinced that I need these shoes.
“They’re chic,” I insist.
“They’re bright,” she corrects. “A little bit Oz.”
I whine. Mom swipes the shoes and heads to the counter. “Excuse me,” she says, “but these heels are much too expensive. They look a little worn, and besides, they’re ugly.”
A second later, they’re also 80% off.
“Bet you can’t do that at sample sales,” she says in the car.

Dear Daria,
So sad you skipped The Tents last season to shoot a Paris perfume ad.
Until today, when I saw the campaign hitting magazines this spring.
Now I totally get why your serene, oblong face didn’t breeze past mine at Vera Wang.
So what will you smell like now?

Hey, have you heard anything about the MTV show with Jann Wenner? Does the winner really get a staff job?
Ooh. I have no idea on this one. But if you’re going to audition, I totally suggest telling Joe Levy that his aura is purple.

Mommy Dearest: What if I let you wear extra eyeliner around the house?

This is Bartholomew. He works at Dior. He also has a brand new job as a certain socialite’s personal assistant.
No, not mine.
But apparently he had lots of Moet-soaked fun in the three days since he started.
Ask him for updates when you see him out!

a song for sharing.
or stealing, like I did from john denver.
or soothing, if you’re stressed and like logos.
Chanel on my shoulders makes me happy
Chanel in my eyes can make me cry
Chanel on the water looks so lovely
Chanel almost always makes me high

Fashion editors everywhere thank Gwen Stefani for their newest score: a Harajuku Lovers hoodie, complete with favorite song lyrics.
So cute, right?
Personally, I’d like a “Don’t Speak” sweatshirt from Gwen to dole out to several crushes this season, but that might be asking too much…
