Back to School Means Back to Chic

As today is the first day of public school again, I decided that this was going to be the first day of yours truly again.  And with my entrance comes a special notification:

It's not too late for sunglasses.  Milk the last few days of summer with shades like these.  Thanks Vee for this photo!

Irena is a Hot Tamale

This is my only friend from Bosnia.  And she's gorgeous.  Wherever she bought this dress from, it doesn't even matter.  It's perfect.  I stole these photos from her.  Shhhh, don't tell her I did.

andy warhol is the man

This past Saturday, July 3rd, Target First Saturdays hosted the fiesta of all fiestas at the Brooklyn Museum.  It was a special tribute to Andy Warhol with a showing of his works, a party in his remembrance, and an Interview reminiscences of the man's multi-talented abilities through video.

Now the man was awesome. He put some awe into the art of pop and make pop-able art.  He did Campbell's, he did Marilyn Monroe, and I didn't know that he did his own magazine but Interview - that was his baby. And he should have my baby. He needs to have did me. ;) jk jk.

I also happened to spot this dress in the museum in a side fashion exhibit. It's red and black polka dots on creme satin by Arnold Scaasi; an evening ensemble of 1961.

red wallets help you save money

According to Montenegrin culture, if you hold your money in a red wallet, you're more likely to save money because of who knows what.  I am a fan of this idea because I'm a fan of red first of all.  It's a passionate, happy color.  And perhaps if I carry a red wallet, I'd be passionate and happy just with the wallet, that I wouldn't have to spend those green pieces of paper that plague the universe.

Speaking of the universe, imagine there are dollar bills on other planets.  Imagine Neil Armstrong left a dollar bill on the moon.  Imagine us paying for trips to the moon and pulling out our wallets for a frozen cappuccino that we could ingest through a mighty cool tube attached to our oxygen mask or helmet or beret?

Anyhow, I saw this adorable wallet at Urban Outfitters last week during a tremendous thundershower when I should have been shopping for umbrellas.  Notice the polka dots on the front.  And then lo and behold, inside is red everything!

So do I want it because of the polka dots or do I like it because it's red inside?  Double-whammy!
