Carinne: Woman of Mystery (Solved!)

I found her! The dress I blogged about on this post but could not Google. Her name is Carinne, and she sports this lovely Graffiti Mark print from DVF. Looks like it's pretty much sold out of everywhere--from Saks to Bloomies. I've yet to spot someone actually wearing it though, so once I'm ready to strut it hopefully I'll by flying solo style-wise.


Speaking of flying, nothing can be more appropriate when jetsetting than my (other) new DVF frock: the "Calzare," featuring airplane print!! I'll be sporting it in Miami later in March, if I can hold off for that long!

Misty Watercolored Memories

Looks like young seamen are out in full (dress) force tonight in midtown Manhattan for some function.

Brings back memories of my pre-beau hubby, who had asked me to be his date at the Cornell Navy ROTC ball. He asked me to be his girlfriend the next night, and the rest is history.

Google Proof

It's a mystery to me.

My company hosted a member appreciation event at Saks that luckily (though not for my wallet) snagged us an extra 15% off everything, including sale and luxury items.

One such luxurious item for sale was this beautiful DVF dress that appears to be Google proof. The print is Graffiti Mark, like the one shown in the Archie skirt in this photo. Maybe it's a Saks exclusive? Anyhow the dress was the last one there, and as the fates have arranged it, in my size! And while I totally would have bought it at the sale price, 15% off was total icing on the cake.

Of course I also bought a couple of moisturizers with discount off retail, which I feel cancels out the DVF steal. Or not.

Arrest Me for BUI

Someone save me from myself! I got into a little accident you see, and "accidentally" bought these two adorable, affordable Alice Ro dresses off Gilt.

My excuse? I had half a glass of red wine and some white and I'm still drunk? I feel sick and mixing caffeine and Cold-eeze is a hazard to my wallet? Whatever it is, I bought under the influence -- and need to lock up my bank card.
