I haven’t had a pocket knife since I was 19 and lived in California.  I thought it was a cool thing to have to go hiking and bought it at an Army Surplus store.  Aren’t these kind of cool though?
Serious question:  Do people still carry around pocket knives or is that just for Tom Sawyer?

Every once in a while I get something into my mind that I feel will totally and completely enhance my life. Example: Great pillows. Stuffed Sock Monkey. Huge Buddha statue. Casual Blazer.
So in the last few months I have been watching a lot of old movies and noticed that they use different champagne glasses than we use today. If you watch anything from Casablanca to virtually anything that Marilyn Monroe appears in (Seven Year Itch, How To Marry A Millionaire, Etc.) you’ll see these fancy …

I used to watch Cribs.  Remember that show?  Everyone kind of liked it because you’d follow people like Mariah Carey around her house and she’d show us things like a diamond encrusted toilet or whatever she had in her house that we didn’t.  It was a great because a lot of people like to peek into other people’s lives.  Just think of all the people that go to open houses with no intention of buying a house.  Just look at how much time I spend on Craigslist for no reason.

Ok, I know you all have dress pants out there. Not suit pants, but those dress pants that you wear to work and not much else because making them look casual is a little tough. Last week I saw the most perfect dress pants outfit that I have ever seen at Barrique’s and really wanted to ask the guy for his picture but wanted to avoid being creepy so I’ll just have to verbally re-create it for you. You can wear them anywhere you want to …

I tried to help a friend of mine get an outfit together one night when we were going to go out. After much deliberation, I came up with something very similar to this: When she went into the living room to show her husband and some friends the outfit, they laughed, rolled their eyes, told her her legs looked like crayons, etc. Whatever. Sonia thinks it’s fine and so do I. Here’s some more goodness from her spring collection.Sonia Rykiel
