Take A Break

Well friends, I'm going to have to say goodbye for a while. I am overwhelmed at work and will be for many months to come. I haven't been donating enough time to Poised Perfection and often feel guilty for neglecting my little blog. If my schedule returns back to normal (probably around December), I'll see if I can resume a regular blogging schedule then. I am deeply grateful for the patronage of my readers and hope you will check back in a few months. Thank you so very, very much!

Books, Books Everywhere

Seriously, my book situation is getting to this point.

Thursday Night, 10 PM

Finally got my copy of Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M. today. God bless Amazon.com. Will report back with opinion.

Now That's Couture

Givenchy had a really nice couture collection for F10. I see that metallics are back in.

Fireworks, Shmireworks

Forget the crowds and humidity. I'll take these fireworks any day.

Icy Blonde

I always thought Kim Novak was her most chic in the movie Vertigo. Not only did you get Jimmy Stewart, you got killer panoramic shots of San Francisco.

Hot

Seriously, polo uniforms make anyone hot. Not that Prince Harry really needs help in that department. He's with Nacho Figueras at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic this past weekend.

No Good Day

I had a rotten day. Therefore I will follow the ritual that always lifts my spirits no matter what: listen to Christmas music. Yes, I know it's June and 100 degrees outside. I'm fine with that. I'm thinking Ella Fitzgerald will do just fine. Plus, it's less than six months until Christmas.

Amazon

I saw this book at Borders today. Frankly, I can't stand paying full price for books when I know I can get it cheaper on Amazon. It's all a waiting game, my friends. Thankfully, I did pick up some really lovely books on India and China. And, finally, purchased Catcher in the Rye (which I'm ashamed to admit I have never read).

Here's a shot of a cozy-looking room. I like to lust after other people's bedrooms since I hardly get to spend any time in mine.

Pony Up

Ralph Lauren's bags always make me want to throw on some brown riding boots and learn how to ride a horse. Undoubtedly the master of American preppy chic.

The Greatest Compliment I've Ever Received

Last week, some of my coworkers told me I look like Jackie O. I think mainly it was because I was wearing an abundance of pearls and huge sunglasses. I told them that my hair and eyes were the wrong color (light blonde and gray) but that I sincerely appreciated the compliment. Now if only someone will tell me I look like Grace Kelly...

Celine had a really strong showing for Resort year. Solid colors, good fabrics, and fabulous clutches.
