Can't wait for....

The Sartorialist book! Scott Schuman aka The Sartorialist has a coffee table book debuting in September 2009. (I read in Marie Claire that it is actually August but his site said September and he should know!) Penguin books is also releasing a special paperback edition at the request of Shuman so that all readers can afford a copy. Compassionate, cute and talented, wow. But of course I want the hard cover to salivate over 500 pages of sartorial glory.

The man himself (I told you he was cute!)

Cigarettes, Anyone?

I'll admit that I was apprehensive about trying cigarette pants, I have a large derriere and felt that no good could come of me trying to fit it into a pair of pants that are defined as "straight and narrow." But I was pleasantly surprised at how versatile these were, you can pair them with a tunic or add a blazer for a dressier vibe. I found some black ones at Gap and I wear them with thong sandals, ballerina flats and sky high heels and they make me feel so Audrey Hepburn-ish!
