I apologize for all you blog readers who are sick of the "fashion week" mania that fashion bloggers are caught up in....but this is what we do, and YSL is what i love. I want to make a collage of this collection, and stick it on my ceiling so it is the last thing i look at every night.
May his legacy live on.

Vogue UK's October 2008 "Hope & Glory" ed is just so pretty. How does Kate do it?

what today's shopping yielded...

Although today's purchases do not even begin to satisfy the impulse to put myself into major debt, I did manage to buy some items I have been dying to get my hands on.

Exhibit A: The BCBG Max Azria "Nathan" shoe.





I have yet to take them off since the time of purchase, as they are not only sexy but super comfy!

Exhibit B: OPI's "Bastille My Heart" from their France Collection.



Since my nails were looking rather dull, I thought I would buy this loving shade of purpley-red to prep them up for fall. I am so impressed with OPI's France Collection that I plan to invest in a few more colors, "Yes... I can-can" and "Baguette Me Not" are the next on my list of must-have nail wear.

Merci mes amis...

This is what I'm wearing to a party tonight. My outfit consists of an American Apparel skirt, H&M tank top (underneath), and a see-through vintage black tank top (on top). Paired with BCBG Max Azria patent pumps and a MBMJ "Miss Marc" bag I got in NYC. I'm ready to go... toodles!

I ♥ NY

I had a fantastic time in New York City, as did my credit card, but I will share my purchases with you at a later date when I'm not exhausted from a horribly long drive home. Here are some quick pictures for you:
