LYD: Little Yellow Dress (and coincidentally my nickname).

The night I wore this dress, I gave my phone number to a beautiful bartender (who turned out to date an acquaintance of mine--whoops!) and went to a backyard college party, where I spent most of my time trying to keep my stilettos from sinking into the ground while conversing with a lovely fellow about how many roommates he has. Oi. Single life problems.

Thanks for reading, you're beautiful.

Total Apology Tuesday

Hello, lovelies!

I am ridiculously, uberly swamped right now! I really don't have days off from work at the moment, I have tons of work to do for my novel workshop, and some other things going on as well. Fitting time in for the blog the last couple weeks has been a major challenge. I haven't even been reading blogs, or much else! You should see the stack of magazines on my ottoman that I've been meaning to catch up on for, oh I don't know, the last two months.

But I refuse to give this up, so if you'll bear with me, I'll be back to regular posting soon. I don't know if people even notice or really care about this sort of thing, but I wanted to touch base in case there are those of you who do, and are wondering what's up. Let me square some things away this week, and starting next week I should be in a better groove.

So no Total Trend Tuesday today. It's coming, I swears. I got mad trends for y'all. Totally.

Thank you for waiting, you're beautiful.

StyleLikeU Sundays, Glenn O'Brien: "When I was an adolescent...things become a bit more tribal."

Glenn O'Brien writes for GQ magazine. I love his home and especially how he arranged his library. Also notable are his white shoes and the pocket square worn with a seersucker suit. And I absolutely love what he says about matching your socks to your trousers or shoes. I wanted to feature a writer this week because I'm feverishly in novel mode, and Glenn helped to pump up my inspiration.



Every Sunday I feature a different closet interview from stylelikeu.com. These are people whose style and insights inspire me, and help to propel my own work here and in other creative pursuits by being awesome.
