I Wrote My First Piece for the Bluefly Blog

I recently had a chance to check out the Praxes Emerging Talent show at the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office 







and wrote about it for Bluefly.com's blog. Check it out!

Fashion Algebra: Curly Hair, Vintage Knit Tie, Tie Bar and Epaulet Shirt

Equals today's holding down the fort at work look. 

Luckily There's Givenchy to Pull Me Through

This crystal encrusted gold magnetic Givenchy horn tie tack (okay, I KNOW it's an "earring" but go with me) just saved today's look

And here I thought Tom Ford was gonna have to do all the heavy lifting. 

Deep Tea Diver

My skin lately has been a bit wrecked from all the Winter, cocktails and coffee. I am determined to get my luster back with a high flood of water and tea. 

But tea? Tea isn't exactly as fun as making a cup of coffee at my office. We have a Keurig that has options and flavors like Southern Pecan. Tea can't compete with that. 

Until now. 

Now there's a happening little loose leaf tea infuser in the shape of a deep sea diver. What? 

Plus for some reason the Scooby Doo theme song plays every time I think of it

Carven Men's Fall 2013

Dear co-workers, 


as I write my annual performance self-evaluation (ooh, fancy talk!) I am also perusing the Carven Fall 2013 menswear collection which Guillaume Henry (French for hot piece) says is inspired by "modern officewear". 


Thus, one of my goals for 2013 is to incorporate the following into 'office appropriate'

The Watercooler Killer Snood

The Xerox Blood Splatter Coat

And of course the Casual Friday Strangler Gloves 

All in a lumbering stance sure to get the attention of my superiors. Promotion!

We Made a Copywriter Tree, Honey

I Think I Finally Found my Nancy

I've been on a secret hunt to live out the karaoke fantasy of my dreams playing Lee Hazlewood to as of yet unknown Nancy. 

Despite my best efforts, as of now the only people fluent in the lady Sinatra I know are overly tall gay redheads. 




Until now, honey. 

New co-worker, Erika J just happened to be Nancy-ing up her Pandora when I peered over and just about had a gay conniption. 




I leaned over and informed her "We have a date with destiny, my dear" 


Summer Wine on stage, duet style 

My upcoming birthday party just got exponentially super better. 




                               

Plus, I can scratch Nancy / Lee duet off my bucket list just before the possible Mayan Apocalypse. 

Hey, better safe than sorry.  

They Said it Wouldn't Last...

We had to prove them wrong...

What you're looking at here is my 'new' job's way of rewarding you with a silver metal fly for each year. I got my first one! One year, baby. 

Guess I can stop referring to Bluefly as my new job, huh? I'm a bona fide Bluefly copywriter extraordinaire, honey! 

Move over Louboutin!

Surprise 'em coming and going with these stealthy style assassins from Miu Miu

Hmm.... normal, boxy Miu Miu, right??

Look a little harder and 

BAM! Glitter under sole. Move over Christian Louboutin! 

Read about My Style Inspirations on The Blush

The Blush, part of The Knot.com, recently came to my new job and photographed what we wear to work (of course I'm working some vintage pieces) and asked about my fashion inspirations

"I have a wide array of vintage leaning style influences including French teenagers from the ‘70s, my sister when she was in art school, comedian Gallagher and ‘70s sitcom Rhoda. "

Don't I Look Cute Today: High End Rocky Horror

One of the beauties of working in fashion is trying on crazy ish you'd never wear, like these wedge jointed platform knee high boots from Celine

Since they came in a 41, you know I had to try 'em and strut around the office a bit

Hooker, please!
