Just a little note.
The Barney's sale is a-mazing. At least the recession has provided more equal access to fashion ;).
I picked up the most beautiful Lanvin boots from Fall 08 (remember those highly coveted flat ones that LL and Nicole Ritchie were sporting?).
Sign. Heaven.
Get thee to Barney's. And, hey--just think of it as a safer investment in these trying times. Ha.

"In this case we’re not talking about the kind of haute-luxury minimalism that fills the pages of the interior design magazines. The Mayet is perhaps brighter, more cheerful, more colorful and eclectic than what we’re used to seeing; there are options around Paris if you’d like to stay somewhere more sober and grown-up, and pay twice as much while you’re at it. From the lobby, bedecked with graffiti by a local Parisian artist, you know what you’re in for. Cheaper and a very fun modern vibe."
Enjoy!!

Welcome back from the holiday bliss and chaos!
The holiday had lulled us into a eggnog and shopping coma but we have returned.
The weather here in the city has turned wonderfully warm for the next few days which is putting us all in good mood.
I hope your holidays were wonderful and 2008 is even better.
