Valentine's Day Grinch

Valentine's Day, like fashion has gone through trends. First, it was cool to celebrate Valentine's Day, then it wasn't cool to celebrate Valentine's Day, then you were considered a bourgeois consumeristic asshole if you celebrated Valentine's Day, and now I think it's finally cool again. To be honest, I grew up many years in the phase when people were all "Valentine's Day is so bullshit. Why would you only take one day to tell someone you love them when you should be doing it everyday." Blah, blah, blah. Unless you're out there ostentatiously spending and screaming how much you love your significant other every single day, you have no place to judge.

I am always confused by the Valentine's Day Grinches. I am especially confused if the Grinch in question is a girl, because she should love Valentine's Day most. Girls get candy and flowers and cooked steak dinners. Some guy I know even gave his girl a pair of Sigerson Morrisons. What's not to like? And let's be honest here, you think that guy is out there buying $500 strappy sandals for this chick on a random Tuesday afternoon "just because he loves her"? Keep dreaming. But on VDay, it's expected for guys to go over the top with all the consumeristic cutesy stuff we love. Yes Grinch, I can hear you out there screaming that Valentine's day should be about love and kisses, and not about presents and flowers. But you know what, I'll bet those same Grinches weren't the ones that got the Sigerson Morrisons placed next to a plate of flaming hot filet mignon, because you know that chick LOVES her some Valentine's Day. So I say girls should revel in it and everyone should stop complaining about the consumerism and let the people that love consumerism enjoy their day with the one person that they love. Everyone else, enjoy your yearly hug.

Heather Gray Day

Club Monaco coat and sweater, Joe's Jeans jeggings, Prabal Gurung x Target shoes, Giambattista Valli collar necklace, Ray-Ban sunglasses

You know how some days are so beautiful that you can compare it to a tangible object? Like the day was so sunny and beautiful like a great big sunflower. Or the moon was so bright and round like a bright diamond in the sky. Well, today I walked out and it looked like heather gray--the most boring gray in the world. It didn't even look dreary like a gloomy dark gray day. It was just heather gray like Costco sweatpants or concrete. So, I dressed the part in heather gray everything, which surprisingly looked really good even though it felt like I was walking around in a colorless black and white movie.

Madonna Monday Morning

Madewell denim jacket, Club Monaco sweater, Zara faux leather skirt, Tibi booties, Ray-Ban sunglasses

Today I woke up and had a Monday Morning Madonna Moment circa "Desperately Seeking Susan" except without all the lace, crazy hair, crazy make-up and plastic jewelry. So everything, except all the stuff that made Madonna's outfit cool.  It's like 80's Madonna Lite; which is how you should be emulating anything by Madonna anyways. Especially now that she's completely lost it and has the most pronounced and pointy cheekbone implants and chin job I've ever seen. But to be clear, I don't blame her one bit for her desperate craziness. How does a person like Madonna "grow old gracefully" anyways? You can't very well go from cone boobs and crotchless panties, writhing on a bed onstage with a barrage of beautiful gay men to Dr. Scholl's and button-ups drinking Earl Grey with her middle-aged retired dancer husband? No, as much as it pains me to say it, this freak phase that she's in is exactly what she should be doing. I would be pretty disappointed if she came out looking totally normal. Except for the cheekbones. Pointy cheekbones are just really creepy.

Gone Fishing

Club Monaco camo jacket, Aqua x Bloomingdales silk dress, Kenneth Cole shoes, Ray-Ban sunglasses

Fishing jackets are the new cargo pants, which is great because cargo pants for girls are just so pointless. They're so skintight that you can't fit anything into those pockets which was why you wanted to wear cargo pants in the first place.  Fishing jackets on the other hand are huge and loose and have A TON of pockets. There's six pockets total. Six!!! It's like a little tenement house. The funny thing is, I used all of them! So I'm constantly patting myself down and poking around in each part of my jacket just to find five bucks for my morning coffee like a fool. The good new is, at least I have my hands free. I'll need them too, to keep patting myself down to find my stuff.
