Only way I'm surviving the cold.

Big jacket. Thick gloves. Wool socks. Lots of layering.

thanks for the advice, kids. 

Packed "lighter" jackets that will sit in my suitcase, rendered useless by my wimpyness.

Details of where I've been to roll out upon my return on Sunday!

Need to go on a major diet.

I spent 25 minutes staring at kids' clothing today at BabyGap.  25 minutes.  Not that you need to be reminded, but JAMIE AND I DO NOT HAVE A CHILD.  Hudson counts as our kid for now and he certainly can't look decent in anything from BabyGap.

What was the reason for this spontaneous calling to the racks of a kids' clothing line?  Uh.....

Stella McCartney??  More affordable than her regular stuff?  What? Brad and Angelina have nothing on this pack of kids.

You can bet your ass that I spent 21 of those 25 minutes trying to figure out how to fit my adult-sized arms and boobs into a 18-24 month old jacket.  The next few minutes were spent trying to convince the salesperson to give me an opportunity to take some into the fitting room.  And the last minute was spent pretending to only be kidding as I sheepishly shuffled out the front door.

I mean, LOOK at this kid!!

I wonder if I can Atkins into fitting into that jacket....and the pink ruffled skirt.  That pink ruffled skirt is KILLING ME.

So, you think you don't know me?

Here's some insight:

I offset suit-wearing with big grins.
I like to hike the outdoors in gladiator sandals.
I get angry when having to wear turtlenecks in the summer.

My Fave Tee.

I don't think we showed you the shirt Jamie got @ the NYC BBQ Festival a couple of months ago! Tongue-in-cheek for a jew. Clever + cute design, huh?


Oh no!

going to be honest.
don't get the shirt.
sorry.

Dear Sarah,

I'm so sorry to confuse you! The bbq event took place in New York's Madison Square Park; a park easily reached by the N and 6 lines of the NYC subway system. This was the logo for the event:
So, they took the main pig logo, threw on the subway lines, renamed it Madison Square PORK, and I thought the design was so cute, clever, and still simple. The fact that Jews are typically supposed to stay away from all things PIG makes it double-y funny to me.

I hope that adds some clarification for you!

Sincerely,

Leslie

Have no idea how to feel about this site.

Spend a few minutes on the new Martin+Osa website for me. Although I usually have zero issue with this particular store, I think this new site creeps me out to no end. Just want to see if I'm odd girl out on this one.

And on a related note, they have free shipping each way now.

If I promise to not wear it with socks, what do you think about wearing a man's button down shirt for a comfy, cute bedtime look? I might have a change of heart if we move somewhere universally warmer, better heated, or simply more private...but strutting around in negligees? Just ain't my thing, you guys. Our windows are in direct view of about 40 other apartments and I have a difficult enough time remembering to close the curtains when getting dressed in the morning, let alone lounging about on the couch before bed!

In the spirit of giving my yoga pants a break, I just ordered a blue shirt from Claridge and King. The gals claim to have a more fitted cut, long enough to cover your business, and short enough to not reenact that scene from "'Twas the Night before Christmas". Can you imagine? If it ends up being that long, I swear, I might just knit myself a nightcap for added effect.

The site is pretty and sells their ONE item pretty effectively! Love the little pillowcase it comes in too...what a fancy-schmancy touch, eh? Hoping that they truly deliver in 5-7 days and I can give you a full report with the product physically in my hands.

Hmmm...is dressing like T.Cruise so faux pas now?
