All Hail to the City Mom (for she's a jolly good fellow!)

VirginiaEddie — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 02:12:07 +0000

It is my sincere opinion that drunk blogging is better than no blogging at all. Shit, it might be the best blogging for, if nothing else, at least it gets it done.

Now in a cosmo/tiramisu high I will explain why it's way cooler to be in your late 30's raising your child in New York City than in some suburban labrynth bringing your fourth kid to soccer practice in a sticky minivan. Just think, you've never had to drive a minivan or sit inside a McDonald's playland. No, you've enjoyed subway stairs and cabs rides and brunches and farmer's market groceries and central park. I loved my mother for her gardens and nightime stories. But bless her heart but she could never have maneuvered us around mid-town at mid-day. I want to be that kind of mom, happy and driven and on time to an appointment without calling my husband frantic and jittery. I want the the six year old at my side to know I'm his mommy, and that, in turn, means we're almost there sweetie.

Charlotte Gainsbourg in Balenciaga

I absolutley love this dress and I love it on her. And I love that her husband, sorry partner, loves her. If a party were a dress, then you're looking at it. And there's something to be said about an electra complex if it means it will land you the man of your dreams.

My Fashion Ideas for Jwoww on her "Sick Days"

VirginiaEddie — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 18:34:43 +0000

Since she recently said that her clothing choices were due to an illness (assuming it wasn't mental) she suffered from while they were shooting the Jersey Shore, I was thinking of the things I would wear when feeling under the weather, but still had to be on...I don't know...TELEVISION????

I'm Going Country

State of Grace http://www.stateofgrace.co.nz/2010/summer_collections_02.html takes my breath away with it's summer 2010 line. I think of dusty roads and lemonade stands when I look at these ensembles. Maybe it's the wicker chair your grandmother always kept in the corner of her living room, but I'm feeling nostalgic.

Dear Mr. McQueen My Heart is Breaking.

I would have worn this outfit to an interview at Lehman Brothers. That's right. And then to dinner with friends. And then to the party and then to the party after the party. You get the jist. No one else but McQueen could make an outfit both sexy, silly and serious as hell; the kind of outfit you could eat cereal and smoke a cigarette in.

This particular piece makes me think of Keith Herring. Which is why I'm so prone to favor fashion because, as we know, it's moving art. Alexander McQueen gave art a heartbeat.

Pringle of Scotland Pre-Fall 2010 Already Amazing???

She looks like a natural element. I would change the shoes but I still love it. Loves it.

Tavi Gevinson Peaks Early?

VirginiaEddie — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 23:04:15 +0000

I am very confused and conflicted. How can I feel inspired by and competitive with a 13 year old? Is this kid really this witty? If she were my student I would give her an F for fabulous only I wouldn't tell her parents it stood for fabulous because I can't stand how smart she is. I can't even deal with this blog post that I'm blog posting about. You had to see the episode to get it, but who misses an episode of 30 Rock with James Franco where he was in love with a Japanese body pillow anyway? Get with it dudes.

The Moschino Cheap & Chic Henry

VirginiaEddie — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 13:08:46 +0000

I get the chic part but where does Moschino get the Cheap part from? I wish they were Cheap & Chic because then I would buy them, right now. Probably the best pair of shoes I've seen...ever. If only I didn't have a car payment. And lunch to buy. See it's times like these I wish I was Tavi Gevinson. You know that little neophyte probably has them in every color. Oh and I will be blogging about her soon. Let's say next actually.

Trailer Park Chic by Motel Rocks

VirginiaEddie — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 22:09:52 +0000

I've always had a thing for motels. Who hasn't? They're sexy, they're slummy, they're there when you need them. And lord knows you need them. So I find it to be no surprise that this cheap bedspread inspired label is so damn alluring. I mean, I would wear this. You would wear this. You're not too good to stay in a motel are you? This dress would go so great with a beer and a five channel tv.

Emma Watson, Luckiest Girl Alive

VirginiaEddie — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 09:33:26 +0000

Can you think of a better person for the job? She's so Burberry I can't believe it's not her own label. And just like Hermione, who else could have played it? And now she not only gets to wear what is in my opinion the best pret-a-porter line in the galaxy, she gets to pose with the finest men in the galaxy. Go Emma, feel free to share some of that midas touch.
