The minis

Technically it’s time to shop the latest resort collections, but here at the studio, we’ve been distracted by (and drooling over) the pre-fall collections…

From Proenza to Reed Krakoff, Emily & I can’t wait to shop these collections. Here are some of our favorite looks! What are yours?

Jewel Mania
Don’t ask me why I spend so much time on this game, it’s the same kind of relationship I had with Tetris when I was 14 and had a Gameboy. Unhealthy but goooood. (Yes a Gameboy, jeeeze, these tech things give up our age more than any wrinkle would do !!!)

I was not super excited at first. I had just suffered through Lincoln a couple of days ago (I know the movie’s supposed to be great and I am supposed to love it, but too much talking killed me) and I was more…
