Wow. Way to do casual with unforgettable aplomb.

Take THAT, defeat.

Thanks to all who came to my Painfully Hip “Stuff I Can’t Carry” Sale yesterday! I had a great time. It was so cool to meet you adorable readers. You guys make me so happy.

These two photos were right next to each other in the wardrobe_remix pool and I thought they both looked so lovely like they were going to the same garden party. Only the first girl is a stylish librarian with both feet on the ground and the second girl gives her taro readings and makes sure she crops her prim plaid dresses to an “I-know-exactly-how-to-have-fun-thank-you-very-much” length.

Speaking of advice, thank you all SO MUCH for your Painfully Hip Roadtrip contest entries and emails! Wow, you guys are SO helpful! Sweet, thoughtful, welcoming and RAD.

I have the most awesome readers ever – I feel like you all “get” me and would all qualify as best friend material even though we’ve never met… I feel honored.
It’s hard to explain… like if I was a weird piece of unidentifiable sashimi with tentacles, you would all be like, “It’s cool, I’m willing to bet she’s totally delicious.”

Ok, that didn’t make any sense, but nonetheless – I can’t wait to meet as many of you as possible.

Thanks again!

I’m suddenly craving a tiny nibble of an Alice in Wonderland cake so I can grow an extra foot and all my clothes will have this chic, shrunken thing going on. This is a thrifted Pierre Cardin boys’ suit.
Bravo!
