Arden Wohl is a New York socialite whose signature is glittery head accessories...I don't know what she does, but I sure do like her clothes.

I love all these fashionable ladies in menswear inspired clothing snapped by The Sartorialist at fashion week f/w 08. A few weeks ago the NYT had an article titled, "The Newly Uptight" about the return of tailoring and I have to say I'm all for it.

I am so exited! PJ Harvey has a new album coming out September 25th!
I've read that she will be playing piano for most of the songs, instead of guitar as she has done in the past. So far I have listened to "When Under Ether" (a song about abortion) , "The Mountain", and "The Devil".

I know where the summer goes, when you're having no fun when you're under the thumb

I know where the summer dwells
When your underarm smells
And your kitchen looks like hell...

-Belle & Sebastian

I can relate to this song. The summer has really flown by, and all I've done is work. The few days I have off were to visit colleges in Philadelphia and Boston. I wouldn't label it as 'fun'.
BUT this weekend I took off work and my family went to Ocean Grove, NJ to go swimming at the shore. The town was really interesting, it was formed in 1869 by a group of spiritual leaders. Today it is a very popular vacationing spot for Methodists. We stayed in an old Victorian rooming house near the ocean, but there are also 114 tent structures that people rent for the summer. They consist of canvas stretched taut over a wooden frame, with wooden floors, little decks, gardens, and electricity.

Then we went to spend a night in the city. Our entire room was pink and white toile. The wallpaper, pillowcases, lampshades, curtains, everthing. I loved it.

That night I saw a benefit concert at the Beacon theater called Revenge of the Book Eaters.

It was so much fun!
I love love love Leslie Feist to death. She is so petite, I never realized. She read a few stories written by students in 826NYC's tutoring program. They were really funny. One was about a peanut who is a model who is so infatuated with his wife, Jelly, that he makes lots of mistakes (for instance he doesn't wash his hair). I was disappointed that Feist only sang two songs that night. Here she is performing Service Bell with Grizzly Bear.

Here she is performing The Water.

Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning were there too. They founded Broken Social Scene. I was surprised Feist didn't sing a song with them, considering she is a former member of the band..And I heard she is dating Kevin.

Jim James was good. I think he might have been intoxicated. He was swigging something from a water bottle that didn't look much like water. He was talking about Jesus looking through the ceiling of his church back home, and that a drill was going to bore through the roof of the Beacon and kill us all before the night ended.

Britt Daniel! Wow...he's so cute! I know I sound like a little school girl, but I don't care. He was really good. I want to see him live again.

AC Newman from The New Pornographers...His performance was a let-down. And that is coming from someone who doesn't even like The New Pornographers.

The host/comedian was Demetri Martin. He was hilarious. He was a writer for Late Night with Conan O'Brien and is contritubutor to The Daily Show.

If you made it to the end you deserve a gold star or a big frothy milkshake...Or something.

WARDROBE REMIX

Wed, 25 Jul 2007 20:27:38 GMT

Wardrobe Remix (flickr.com/groups/wardrobe_remix) is an online fashion community. People from all over the world can join and post photographs of their personal style. The creator, Tricia Royal says, "I believe the best stylists walk the streets, not the photo sets, nor the backstage of the runways. The real innovators are you and me: real, fashionable people, men and women alike."
It's an interesting place to browse when you have some spare time. Here are two users whose taste I admire.
Prepare yourself for lots of photos..

Goodbye little Frank

Wed, 18 Jul 2007 18:51:47 GMT

    In late October of last year my dad found a little orange kitten, probably only a month old. We named him Frank. After a routine blood test it was confirmed that Frank had a severe case of feline leukemia. It was a shock, he seemed so healthy.
    In the past few weeks his legs became very arthritic, and he lost his appetite. His body felt hot with fever and he became skinny and sluggish. Yesterday morning my father let him outside and he sat motionless on the sidewalk for who knows how long. I went outside to check on him after lunch and he was gone.
    I knew what had happened, he had gone off to die alone. My family looked everywhere for his body, along the riverbanks, in the shed, under the plants in the garden. We could not find him, he had hidden himself very well.
