you are the quarry

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

Here’s my ur-summer dress, whose lovely color quarry references both sea and sky. Make sure you check out its top: the silken flowiness is pierced with brass buttons, mother of pearl, and starfish. Plus, it has a belt, to give you that “whittled from swimming in the ocean” look.

Wearing this dress is probably the closest I’ll ever get to being a mermaid, and by God, I’m going to seize it.

Don’t puss out and use this stick with a white candle.

number one, with a bullet

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

Cufflinks are the trickiest of accessories: too much, and you’re Silvio Dante; too little, and you’re Mr. Floppy Sleeves, pitiful in that fact that you have no fashionable lady/dude/personal shopper to help you out.

So for the two french-cuffed shirts that Mr. Misosouper owns, I’m thinking these bullets would be just the right touch. When people get a peek at his sleeves, there’ll be that moment, the one that occurs when a smart fashion choice crystallizes into a James Bondian recognition of his (my?) stylish wit:

“Are those…?”

“Why, yes. Yes they are.”

*For a limited time, cufflinksdepot.com is giving away flag cufflinks with purchase. John McCain is sending a pair to Barack Obama as we speak.

step away from the snake

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

If I wanted to steal a bike (which I don’t, but times are tough, and bikejackings are on the rise), I would step away from the bicycle with the badass snake lock, simply because I appreciate its humor.

Then I’d pedal off on someone else’s wheels.

hot hot sleep

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008


In Florida, when the sun goes down, the temperature doesn’t. So when it’s still 80+ degrees at night, what’s a duvet-loving girl to do?

We now cover up under The Company Store’s peacock “super light” down-alternative duvet, whose breathable material allows air flow so that our sweat and slumber never mix.
