I am dying to see this documentary on NY Times photographer Bill Cunningham. Any trailer that has me writing down quotes is one to get excited about.
It opens in LA on March 25th for one week only. Check here to see where it's playing near you.

Hey, I'm Not Going To Judge You...
1. If you think Christmas is more romantic than Valentine's day.
2. If chipped nail polish doesn't ruffle your feathers much.
3. If you cared more about what people wore to the Grammy's than how they sounded.
4. If your closet is color coded by sleeve length but there's also heaps of clothing on your floor.
5. If someone tells you you were in their dream and you wonder what your dream self was wearing...
6. If the thought of taking a couple's picture at a restaurant makes you incredibly uncomfortable.
7. If you've worn heels to a backyard BBQ.
8. If you think you look skinnier after one day of exercise.
9. If you bought the CVS knock off eye cream at the drugstore with the following internal dialogue: "well, I don't really have any eye wrinkles yet so I can get the cheap stuff... it's only preventitive."
10. If your dog leaves the room when you sing to him.

Friday's Favorite Things
So, I've kind of had a funky week. I did some interesting things, like catch a cold, subsequently lose it then pick it up again in accidental haste.
I did not unload my laundry from a week ago (to give you an indication of my focus this week) but somehow found time to prance through all of Santa Monica's consignment and vintage stores.
Great Labels was pretty impressive and if you're looking for (previously loved) Missoni dresses at an eighth of the price it's your stop. Wasteland totally hit my sweet spot with a big collection of maxi skirts; unfortunately I got there minutes before closing time and in a moment of haste got a zipper stuck in my hair in the dressing room while yelling to the hipster dressing room attendee- "I'm almost done! lightning fast!" ... I walked out with a cool, albeit random and awkward (sort of) Indian tunic. Your guess is as good as mine.
Some other things happened but most days involved me staring at a computer screen with the attention span of a kindergartner on pixie stix.
Here's what I like right now (aside from you... and carbohydrates)
1. Favorite discovery: almond milk (heaven in a cup).
2. Favorite alter-ego revisited:
3. Favorite stylish lady: Joanna Hillman. She's always on point and her boots are from Gap. All star.
4. Favorite Blog of the week: Streetfsn, for its NY Fashion week updates... sigh, to be there.... in this outfit:
5. Favorite little moment: really lol'ing (hard) at my bbms in public.
*Un-favorite moments: dog farts; any time spent on the 405; an audition which required me to learn Michael Jackson choreography and perform with all professional dancers (yes, it was as comical as you're imagining).

Getting Poetical
If thou must love me, let it be for nought
Except for love's sake only. Do not say
'I love her for her smile-- her look-- her way
Of speaking gently-- for a trick of thought
That falls in well with mine, and certes brought
A sense of pleasant ease on such a day'--
For these things in themselves, Belovèd, may
Be changed, or change for thee,and love, so wrought,
May be unwrought so. Neither love me for
Thine own dear pity's wiping my cheeks dry,
A creature might forget to weep, who bore
Thy comfort long, and lose thy love thereby!
But love me for love's sake, that evermore
Thou mayst love on, through love's eternity.
That falls in well with mine, and certes brought
A sense of pleasant ease on such a day'--
For these things in themselves, Belovèd, may
Be changed, or change for thee,and love, so wrought,
May be unwrought so. Neither love me for
Thine own dear pity's wiping my cheeks dry,
A creature might forget to weep, who bore
Thy comfort long, and lose thy love thereby!
But love me for love's sake, that evermore
Thou mayst love on, through love's eternity.
