An Apology Post Because My Internet is an Asshole

The internet in my apartment is temporarily unavailable. I wish I knew why, but I don't. I haven't even had a chance to peep my morning papers since Sunday. What I do know is that I feel like a more pathetic version of Carrie Bradshaw in the current moment because I'm sitting at a Starbucks squinting my eyes and making unusual facial gestures. The more pathetic part kicks in because a. there is no voice of God that sounds an awful lot like me speaking over me to you, readers, and because b. I live with my parents.

In any case though, hello. While I'm delivering this public service announcement, I should also lend a hearty thank you to all prospective co-workers who have applied! You're the bees knees! And some of you are really weird! Which is fantastic! Unfortunately though, the position has been filled. By a whole lot o'crazy.

So now, in more irrelvant news:
Because I have no photos that are ready for your eyeballs quote yet, here on the left is a photo from Glamour's August issue. Clicky, clicky to hear to see the full feature. I'm wearing a Kain blouse, Chanel jacket and Proenza Schouler booties. And to the right is what I will call: wishful thinking. The leather jacket is Valentino RED, the blouse is Pencey and the shoes are Alexander Wang. I stole both pieces of outerwear from my hip mom. Do you remember a Manhattan time when that outfit was climate-appropriate? Because I don't. Unless we're digging into the archives and commemorating the spring of '93. I won't lie though, yesterday's rain reminded me that I'd pick exhaustive heat over wet, cold weather any day of the week.

Stay tuned for some news on prosciutto inspired clothing. Until then, tootles.

  44. J'WANT THAT RED VALENTINO JACKET SO BAD

    ReplyDelete
  45. Oh lord, I hope you had some deodorant handy for your second look! ;) I love the distinctive tailoring of that jacket, though, so signature Valentino and I just about drooled on my laptop over those Alexander Wang peep-toed heels.

    Oh yes! Proper introductions: I'm Florina and I'm so, so glad to make your acquaintance, Lady Man Repeller. Your fashion blog is one of precious few that doesn't make me want to slap myself in the forehead, for as much as I love fashion, I love fashionably intelligent women and writing more.

  52. oh this romantic shirt and this jeans are like contradictions finding common ground. The result is this gorgeous cross styling, I personally prefer the look with the nude leather jacket. It looks pretty amazing!

  53. Haha, first thing I saw on the Glamour-site was "Sex tip from a guy". But you rocked it obviously.

    You've mentioned that you went to college, what did you study?

    And, I doubt that I'm the only one that wouldn't mind (would actually love) if you mixed it up with entries about what you do day to day, nightlife or whatever.

    Thanks for a fashion blog where the text tops most others.
