Hi!  Hello.  :)

I’m back from California + I’m happy to report that my week was pretty blissful.

(view from my room at the resort in sunny palm springs)

It wasn’t too shabby to wake up to THAT every morning, I have to admit… 

Constant sunshine + dry heat weren’t too hard to deal with either.  I’m going to brag: my hair looked amazing.

i mean, really, it was awesome.

Anyway, prior to my departure I had a bit of an issue to handle.  Merely days after professing my love for my iPhone to the world, it was taken from me.  Stolen!  Just like that. 

i'm pretty sure that he's the culprit...

Gone. 

I filed a police report + am now in like Flynn w/ the hard working folks at Midtown Blue(And, God bless ‘em!)  I worked with my insurance company – PSA: if your iPhone is not currently insured, insure it today! – to recoup $$$ to purchase a replacement phone.  While in CA, my check arrived in the mail + yesterday during lunch I ran to the Apple store in Lenox Mall to grab a new one. 

I got the pearly white iPhone 4.  Please behold its beauty:

la la la la LAAAA!

(Which you are likely to only see here b/c I have since covered it with a supa-flashy neon orange + pink Kate Spade cover.)  What did you expect?  Really. 

kate spade...spade.

It’s new – they just got it in last week.  It’s bright, loud + slightly obnoxious.  So, it’s perfect.  (And, they discontinued my old, relatively-understated case…)  A colleague referred to it as a “sherbet lego.”  I loved that.

I am hoping to have better luck with this iPhone.  I plan to treat it with the deepest respect + not leave it sitting out on a table at The Warren so that it could easily get swiped again.  iPhone, I’ve changed.  You’ll see.

xx, L

As you may know, radical and visionary designer Alexander McQueen passed away Thursday.

McQueen was immensely talented and served an important voice in fashion. Obviously, it is devastating to lose such an influential designer in his prime…and if you’re looking for some carefully crafted words about McQueen, please, allow me to Google that for you: LMGTFY. (Thanks, Linds.)

Now let’s look at some pretty pictures of his work:

“Clothes and jewelry should be startling, individual. When you see a woman in my clothes, you want to know more about them. To me, that is what distinguishes good designers from bad designers.” -Alexander McQueen

RIP to the self-proclaimed “pink sheep” of his family.xx, L
