The Scene
First Monday at the office.

Meetings all morning and then a nice department lunch in my honor. Two of the peeps that I was already loving revealed shyly that they watch The Hills. YAY KINDRED SPIRITS!!!

One of them is even friends with an editor on the show who says the four main chicas get paid SEVEN figures!!! Holy poop. Mental note: Get on a vapid reality show focused on fashion and female friendships that becomes a cash cow for MTV.

Planned on meeting Styleminded and T at The Cuddler and Lauragami's kickball game but Mr. Diabolina draws me into his web instead. He makes me get comfy and cuddly and settle in for The Hills and the after show.

So can you BELIEVE Lauren stood up for Lo? F. Can you BELIEVE Heidi left her big boss hanging? F squared.

And just LOOK at these Mother's Day pics I found. Ugh that girl. I will probably never have a Hermes shopping bag that I can fit in. Or a totally impractical, dreamily tacky Chanel bag. Wah!

Everyone failed me by telling me education was the way to succeed in life. What.a.sucker.

p.s. Got great news about M&M. She was able to move one of her legs today. Positive sign.

Thanks a million for all the good thoughts and keep them coming. Her road to recovery is going to be a long one.

The Commentary
Not feeling particularly inspired this morning and sad about M&M and it's unseasonably cold outside AND the office environment is so casual (my KRYPTONITE) that I don't want to look like I'm trying too hard. Ugh. Too much swirling about in this big noggin...

I had YSL on the brain after my mom's big purchase yesterday so built the outfit from the shoes up. Decided showing the bitten up legs yesterday was a mistake. My mom made I comment. I don't want to talk about it. All you need to know: I'm back to pants.

Decided on the Marc because I wanted some color to brighten my mood. This top continues to thrill me to no end. Realized it matches my new Marc clutch perfectly and my new Louis Vuitton lover should I choose to bring him home :)

The dress version is now on sale for $200 at Neiman's and $149 at Bloomie's. Run don't walk if you want a Marc piece that is timeless and can be dressed down or up and coordinates so well with so many pieces.




I personally have had my eye out for this Marc satchel FOR MONTHS. So dreamy.

Just saw the skirt in this print hit stores so hoping the bag will follow.

Don't need it but sure do loves it.
