Anonymoose--thanks for that. I'm also not quite a Rent-head, but I've had practically the whole soundtrack memorized for years. Er...maybe I shouldn't have just admitted that...

I second Jesspgh's suggestion for a place to document the looks visually because I would love to see some of this stuff as well.

This has been bothering me for a while now--I thought the Lexington jacket only came in black, gray, and ivory. Where are you getting blue from?

These are all amazing. Those Chanel sneakers are especially incredible. Thanks for posting!

I never match when I work out at the gym, mostly because all of my comfy sweats/t-shirts are a hundred years old and I love them. And other than washing my face, I don't wear any makeup either.
But I am a ballet dancer and when I go to work in the morning I do wear makeup, even though I'm going to work to sweat. I feel better about myself when I have makeup on at the studio, basically because I have to look at myself in the mirror in a leotard for 6 hours at a time.

This is very odd news. I wish they would bring back peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough. I haven't had that since I was 6.

I'm a serious solo shopper, definitely. Except when I'm with my mom. Then we're sort of a combination of all three. Aw...now I miss her more.

I don't know, but Blake has a spread in December's InStyle and she looks totally cute!

Ugh! I'm a dancer and whenever I see non-dancers sporting legwarmers in real life, it makes me want to gag.

I realize that the majority of the women reading this blog are successful businesswomen, etc., but I just can't afford the $800 dress or the $1900 handbag. I've hardly bought anything in the last 3 months. I probably will never be able to afford designer clothes because I have a job doing what I love which pays next-to-nothing. Just my 2 cents...take from it what you will.

I have to wear them everytime I perform and that is quite enough. I hate the glue. And after an hour or so they start to really irritate you.

This is such an interesting discussion. Well said, KA and nadarine! Building up one's 401K and paying off student loans is far more important than "investing" in clothes. And, like I said previously, I haven't really bought any item of clothing, expensive or not, in a few months. I, too, believe we need to become less driven by the consumerism of our day. Also, the rising cost of clothes is maddeningly outrageous, but that's an entirely different discussion.

I'm sure Salesha's attendance at Tyra's T-Zone camp was a big boost for Tyra's evergrowing ego. GAH!!!

I agree with Guest at 3:12 and marc lover. Although I have stopped buying the whole of Clinique's 3 step skincare line (I use Neutrogena face wash and Olay astringent) I still swear by Clinique's dramatically different moisturizer. The best stuff I've ever used. But I would never spend more than about 15 or 20 bucks on face wash. $65 is outrageous and unnecessary.

Definitely the best streetwalker in a while.
