Bundle Up

If I was a guy, I think this is how I would dress for the snowpocalypse. Furry hat, plaid, rugged bag and Hunter boots. Perfect. Thanks to The Sartorialist for snapping this man.

Also, it's still snowing in Pittsburgh. This is getting ridiculous. The sidewalks still aren't cleared from a week and a half ago. I just want to be able to wear regular shoes again!

A Literary Birthday

I suppose I'm not quite as complex as I try to appear. My main interests are writing and fashion (shock!) and apparently everyone knows it. So three of my birthday presents were books. Exactly my favorite gift to get.

My lovely roommate gave me The New Yorker humor writing anthology, my brother got me The Sartorialist book, and one of my besties got me The World in Vogue.

The World in Vogue is this amaazzing collection of photographs, including one of my favorite shots ever printed in Vogue-- one of Keira Knightley feeding a baby elephant draped in Louis Vuitton. Wonderful.

The Sartorialist has all the pictures featured from Scott Schuman's blog, but he does some commentary for a few of the photos. My favorite quote:

"Let's be honest, the reality rarely lives up to the romance and I am OK with that--I think we all could benefit from letting ourselves get lost in the romance of an idea or perception instead of having to know every excruciating detail of reality."

The Power Fashion Couple

I LOVE this picture of Garance and Scott at The Sartorialist book signing.

Could there be a more a fashion-forward couple in existence? They're everything I dream to be someday in my distant future.

Could this be any cuter?

No surprise that Scott Schuman's kids are absolutely adorable. This is precisely how I want to dress my children someday.

Mr. Schuman did a shoot for Style Piccoli with his daughters and their friends. You can see the rest of it over at The Sartorialist.

Sartorialist goes paperback

If only my birthday was in August so I could put this at the top of my wish list. Feel free to pre-order your own copy right now, or dash over to bookstores on August 12 for Scott Schuman's latest endeavor. Because really, we all need a little something sitting on our bookshelves to remind us to never leave the house looking like crap.
