Oh I know you have to go, yes I know you have to go.

Oh, hi again. I suppose I'm just makin' up for the lack of updates this week by sitting here and banging some more posts out.

I'd like to present to you some of my recent purchases.

On Gilt, I bought some L.A.M.B. sandals and I'm wearing them right now, and I've worn them for the past week, and I love them.


They have sweet buckles on the side, too:


Gilt has some great sales! If you need an invite - HERE IT IS! I'd been eyeing these sandals all summer on Piperlime, and when I saw them on Gilt docked down so much, I didn't even hesitate.

Last weekend while Jesse and I were staying at the Westin in Providence, I woke up early and did some shopping, seeing as how the hotel is connected to the monument of commerce that is Providence Place Mall. I bought a cute, simple gray dress - what do you think?


That night we went to a delicious dinner in Newport, me in my gray dress and L.A.M.B. sandals, and Jesse in his new plaid shirt. I remember having two glasses of wine and then discussing Jason Schwartzman for a bit.

And now for that which I wish I could buy. These pieces by Lauren Moffat are gorgeous and I want them. I want to be able to afford them. As well as the sunglasses the model is wearing, too. Of course!


I'd also like this dress that Emmy Rossum wore. And the sunglasses.


And finally, could this girl be any more adorable? By that I mean, if I tried to pull of that hair, that outfit, that pose, it'd come out something horrible - something TRAGIC, even.



Coveting anything lately? Inspired by any sweet fashion blogs? (Pass them along!)

I think this may conclude my blogging for the day. Maybe.

But I know you can't and I know you wouldn't anyway.

Wouldn't it be good if you could stay?

I've unofficially deemed today Jason Schwartzman Day. I listened to Coconut Records on the way into work, because hey, those songs are fun and I like Jason Schwartzman. If you like Jason Schwartzman you should probably go see Scott Pilgrim vs The World this weekend because he's hilarious as an evil-ex and it's definitely the most fun thing you will see this summer.

Anyway.

It's Friday and I'm frazzled from the week and all of its activities. This post will make little to no sense. Ready?

Okay. Last night I met up with Awesome Blogger Zan and we concluded the following things:

1. While some people may differ on whether they liked Inception or not, the fact remains: everybody has had a conversation about it after they've seen it. Some people are still talking about it (like us!) and I think that's enough for it to be deemed worthwhile.

2. Friday Night Lights is the best television show. Season 4 just ended, and Zan and I agree it was the best season yet. It feels like its own little world, a neighborhood you live in occasionally. Zan and I SHARE the memories of Coach, Saracen, Julie, Tami, Riggins, etc. They are our friends. I mean...anybody who watches that show feels the same way, right?

3. At the other end of the stick, Entourage is still on television and also, do people still watch it?! It's THE WORST. Zan caught a minute or two of this season and shared her horrifying experience with me. If you still watch Entourage, tell me WHY. I can't fathom why anyone would still think that show is worthwhile or watchable, and I used to love it.

Here is Awesome Blogger Zan and her lovely eyelashes:


She doesn't use this mascara product.

After three Shanghai cocktails, I headed downtown to meet up with the husband and a couple of friends to see Chris Hardwick, he of Web Soup and Singled Out fame, do some stand up comedy. True to form, it was hilarious, and because Jesse has met Chris before, we talked to him for a while after the show. About many nerdy things. And I told him I'd need a picture with him, and after three he finally approved this one (celebrities!) -


If you live in New York, or anywhere, you should check out his stand-up (& Nerdist podcast!). It gave me stomach pains, in a good way. And I yelled "Singled Out!" when he mentioned he got stopped on the street in the 90s. Dude, I don't think I missed an episode of Singled Out. Also, I totally remember how it was used in Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion when they were trying to get boyfriends and they were too old for MTV. File under: things that shouldn't take up room in my brain but they DO.

Then we ended the night at another bar where there were a bunch of Frenchies, a Japanese guy, a French guy that looked like Daniel Faraday from LOST and a bartender that looked like Sayid. No lie. Amber, Kelly, Tyler were there - the best ones, the normies. Oh, and these people.

All in all it was quite a night, and while some of the guys were "talking shop" I got another level to three stars on Angry Birds. Slowly but surely all those levels will have three stars.

And now my final question: who else loves Jason Schwartzman?
