Vacation

Hey ya'll,

Just wanted to let you guys know that I'll be away on vacation in Milan and Paris until March 16th. Please note that my Etsy will be on hiatus until then.

Does anyone have any suggestions for places I must see while I'm there?

Also, thoughts on the new Fall Winter 2011 collections? I'm currently in love with Marc, Jason Wu, Rodarte, Fendi, Prada, Bottega Veneta and Jil Sander. Raf is on an amazing streak right now!

See you guys soon!

Dot Dot Dot

Another fantastic collection from Marc Jacobs. Loved the contrast of the rigorous tailoring and the whimsical dots! It reminded me of those sweaters he did with the polka-dots and smiley faces back in the 80's. I think it was when he was in Parsons...maybe his graduate collection?

UP5

My friend Danielle opened up a spa in town recently and she invited me over to have my first facial! She gave me this thing called an “UP5” facial that used this very foreign looking contraption (see below). I have to say it felt like an alien cyborg was doing something weird to my face but at the end my face felt very smooth and baby’s bottom like. Officially, this is what an UP5 facial does…

“Promote collagen, firming, and lifting of the epidermis with our state-of-the art Up5 machine as it restores a youthful glow and vitality, feeding your skin nutrients through our cellular repairing deluxe facial, complete with European massage techniques to revitalize tired-looking skin.”



Doesn't it look like something Seven of Nine uses in her private time? FYI that's a Star Trek reference.

For a nice facial and other relaxing spa treatments, get thee to Lady Orchid Spa!
