It's been a month since I came to college, and everything's finishing its shift into full gear right about now. Orientation, with its open houses and club fairs, is buried far in the past; the class ...
I've been having a lot of Ballon Rouge moments lately, here at college, being swept up into something great. It's not support or a push upwards from the bottom, but rather a big tug from above, a cal...
Going to a woman's college, and one affiliated as it is with a world-class coeducational university, is as Romantic and lovely as I might have imagined. These past two-and-a-half weeks, time has begu...
I've been having a great time this week at Barnard, which is, to set the record straight, the sister school and independent affiliate of Columbia College and one of four undergraduate schools of Colu...
One of the most difficult things about college for a visual person like myself is making a dorm room look and feel as pretty and comfortable as a room back home. This is something I'm working on. Tho...
Moving into my dorm room (or half-room, to be exact) took ages. There were floor pillows to unload, clothes to unfold, accessories to untangle, a minifridge to unearth from its tightly taped package....
Tomorrow I become a woman. I'm not going to get my period for the first time or have my bat mitzvah or get my period or turn eighteen (and all those things have happened already, anyway) but tomorrow...
So here I am, toeing the line between summer and fall, between childhood and adulthood, in fidgety and nervous anticipation of my first week of college. My feelings are mixed. I will never have anoth...
This summer was a pleasant summer. Bill Cunningham took my picture at a twenties theme party on the beautiful Governor's Island. I worked, I stopped working. I saw a spectacular nighttime fireworks s...
My parents, ever the modern architects, always ask me how I, their daughter, could have developed such a so-called mind for intellectual pursuits yet exhibit such an attachment to "cute" fashion. Not...
I just wanted to thank you all – readers and followers alike – for your love. I know my blog isn't the most popular fashion blog out there by any means, and it wouldn't be right if it were! I'm happy...
So I have these invitations to Gilt Groupe, Rue La La, and ideeli just dying to be sent. I know few people would appreciate them more than you all, my fashionable readers. But I can't invite you to a...
So I just got back from a week with my aunt in Becket, Massachusetts. It was a sleepy, dreamy stay, as summers in the Berkshires - or any woodsy, humid vacation spot - should be. Evenings were spent ...
I already mentioned how bummed I am to have missed the Nouvelle Èpoque Cabaret-Salon at The Players NYC, but I'm confident this won't be the last the world sees of Belle Epoque fashion. As the Times ...
Sorry, again, for my tardiness. I should have posted this earlier (even though, as you know, I stopped posting for about two months), but happy Bastille Day to all mes lecteurs français. . . et mes l...
It occurred to me today, after waking up from a strange dream in which I was hanging out with Daniel Radcliffe in the Columbia Quad (right across from Barnard!), that Emma Watson has yet to announce ...
Maybe I'm biased. Moulin Rouge! is already one of my most favorite movies EVER, and Nini Legs-in-the-Air my favorite movie siren. And if you read my Samantha post, the Victorian/Edwardian age is my t...
*Long Post Alert!*So the fabulous Rhiannon of Liebemarlene Vintage had a very good idea. You see, I've been waxing on about my favorite fashiony things this whole time without ever telling you about ...
You heard it here first! Well, second. But Miss Emma "New Face of Chanel" Watson has finally spoken: she will be joining, along with Scout Willis and my friends Georgia and Matt, the Brown University...
I'm eighteen!This is actually semi-old news. I turned eighteen on Monday, July 13, ringing in my newfound freedom in true style with an Elizabeth O'Brien Berg bathing suit and a day at the shore (tha...
I am a Romantic. This blog documents my Romanticism. But Romantics don't like computers. I have, in fact, hated using computers - especially during the summer - for as long as I can remember. General...
I hate to be the bearer of bad news - and by "bad news," I mean the most horrifying, harrowing, heart-wrenching, agonizing, gut-wrenchingly tragic casualty of the recession to date. Christian Lacroix...
I'm so aggravated right now. I've got a closet full of nothing to wear, a refrigerator full of nothing to eat, and an iPhoto library full of nothing good to share with you.I think there's this deeper...
Let's talk Peaches Honeyblossom Michelle Charlotte Angel Vanessa Geldof!I love Peaches (above right), and so should you. I know that some see her as nothing more than Paris Hilton with a British acce...
So I have decided to start a tagging game. Here are the rules:1. You must answer all questions.2. All answers must be strictly fantastical, dreamy, and imaginative. Answers are not expected to be rea...
Ready for the best news ever?!. . .The CFDA has created a new award, and YOU get to decide who wins it!That's right. WWD has officially opened up the polls for the first annual CFDA Popular Vote, er,...
I almost forgot to mention - happy summer! I know it's not official until June 21, but does anyone really think of summer as starting in late June and ending in late September? I don't! It's Memorial...
So Dita von Teese reported via Twitter that she was only recently out with Mr. Pearl. For those who don't know, Mr. Pearl is Paris's most (in)famous corsetier - or, in his words, just "a designer who...
Jill Stuart stole the cookie from the cookie jar! For F/W '09, she concocted a collection of confections, with designs sweet and fluffy and the slightest bit edgy, like the fantastic designer herself...
"Pleasure is the flower that passes; remembrance, the lasting perfume."-Jean de BoufflersI know that the "memorial" in Memorial Day refers to specific memories, summoning up images of the Arlington C...
