It's been true since college and it's only gotten worse in our old age. I blame the fact that we've lived on different coasts for the last decade of our friendship. It creates all sorts of pressure to go wild when we are together. We're like giggly piggy drunky schoolgirls.



There's always too much food




And even more drinks.







When we are in L.A., there's usually a pool we terrorize.




When we are in New York, Fifth Avenue is typically involved.









Today there was even ping pong of all things!!!




This afternoon we had so much fun cackling and conspiring over drinks at the Standard pool that I was lights out by - wait for it - 8 p.m. F!!!!!!


Peaches and his boyfriend and their big shot L.A. friends showed up to pick me up for dinner and I could barely pick up the phone. Ugh, who am I? A grandmother that's who. On probation that's who. I disgust me.



Well...at least I'll get to see Peach over Thanksgiving and for an entire month in January when he is in L.A. for work. That'll be the longest he's been in town since college!!!

It's gonna be B-A-N-A-N-A-S. Non-stop eating and passing out by 8 ;)





The Outfit
Betsey Johnson dress

The Accessories

Louis Vuitton earrings
Faux Prada sunnies

The Grade
A for Authentic Awesomeness




The Commentary
You may recall that though Peaches has good taste in girlfriends, he has not-so-good taste in women's fashion. During my NYC trip earlier this summer, Jean Bean and I decided he is in fact Team Betsey Johnson. Cool in the 90s but a bit - ahem - down market today. We've been teasing him mercilessly about Betsey ever since because it is fun and we are evil.


Thought it would be HIGHlarious to wave the white flag today and wear this Betsey Johnson dress. Haven't worn it in at least 8 years!! I bought it when I was 15!!!!! Can you believe it? Am officially aged because I am rocking something I wore the first time it was in vogue. I am vintage ;)





This dress was one of my first designer purchases. I saved up money from my one and only retail job (at The Limited Too!) and my mom helped match my paltry shekels. Probably cost about $150 - a pretty penny back then. I will never ever never get rid of it. Still love the paneling at the chest and the poufy sleeves and the flattering cut and the functional pockets. Would never have worn it off the shoulder when I was a teenager. But today, I felt old enough, bold enough :)




ADORE that the print is right on trend for Fall 2008 even though I bought it in 1993!! Digging most of the winter florals on shopbop right now.




Think my dress is a little Nanette Lepore


Meets Lauren Conrad.







Perfect with my newly cut and dyed hair. 15 year old Diabolina never looked this fly.





p.s. Peaches forgot that it's still summer in L.A. in October and didn't pack a swimsuit. So I brought him this delish Penguin number from Mr. Diabolina's closet (made him buy it a few years ago.) I find it hilarious that each of them fretted that the other one was much skinnier and in fact they ended up being the same size. Funny BOYZ!




The only guy that stole Peach's thunder at the pool was this guy. Let me tell you a hot pink puppy t-shirt is the COOLEST THING YOU HAVE EVER SEEN when you've had a few cocktails in the sun. He got our A+!
