Ruby Tuesday


400th post! Awww yeeeaahhh!!!


Flower Power

I just picked up this adorable little flower print wrap dress while perusing Shopbop on my break, it should arrive right around my birthday (which is Monday) and luckily I'll be home to greet the UPS guy for a change! Yay!

And yes, I am supposed to be working right now. Back to the grind!

And the Worst Blogger Ever Award goes to...

... yours truly, for being M.I.A. for a whopping 12 days (that felt like 212 days, truth be told). So so sorry for neglecting not only my own blog but all of yours, my routine felt quite cockeyed without my daily dosage. The last two weeks have been all about sorting, tossing, packing, unpacking, adjusting, and, when not up to my eyeballs in boxes and covered in dust, enjoying the occasional barbeque. I'm officially moved into the new place, I returned the keys to my beloved old apartment today on my lunch break. I thought I'd get all weepy-like but I feel good about the change, my new home feels so right. I'll share some pics with you all once my tons of junk is properly absorbed and the finishing touches are all done! Please bear with me as I try to work around our (hopefully temporarily) wonky internet connection and get back into the blogging groove. You'll have my undivided attention soon!

I do have two wrists after all...

Oh my. Plan B?  via net-a-porter

*update: only small and large are left, medium is sold out. I measured my wrist (and got funny looks from the cubicle mates) and I really think I'm a medium. (The measurements are on the saks site).
Sigh.

love. redux.

So I've posted about this Alexis Bittar Sculptural Ribbon cuff before, but now that I've decided that my wrists simply aren't realizing their full Wonder-Woman-y potential without it and it's the perfect birthday gift to give myself (or preferably receive... hint, hint, hint...), it's out of stock ...permanently? Argh, I hope not! Anybody know of any store/site still carrying this amazing bracelet?!

I Love the Nightlife

Absolutely loving this very jet set, Halston-circa-Studio-54-era party look... the Alexander Wang bag and the open-toe booties bring it back to 2010 but with a pair of sky high platform sandals and a smaller more vintagey bag you could revive the disco vibe without seeming too costumey. When in doubt just ask yourself, what would Bianca Jagger wear?

shopping list: white lace minidress

I've tried on a bunch of little white lace dresses in my most recent shopping adventures and none have been right, they've been either too tight, too short, too doily-ish, too see-through, the sleeves are too pouffy, the lace looks too cheap, or I just look like a demented skank gearing up for her Vegas wedding... GAH! But then... this. Exactly what I've been looking for.

Apparently this dress is from Mango, but I can't find it on the site... what gives, Mango? Is it because I'm Canadian? Why must you toy with me so?!
