This Charming Closet

J. Crew is back with MORE sequined harem pants!!!

I jest.

I actually hate these.  Not so much for the front view

But if the tall, skinny model's butt looks THIS bad in these pants, what hope do we mere mortals have?

But if you've got a liking for them and $650 J. Crew will mail them to you. 

So what do y'all think?  Yes or no?

On Living

"Hold onto your dreams for they are, in a sense, the stuff of which reality is made.  It is through our dreams that we maintain the possibility of a better, more meaningful life."

The Container Store

Y'all, The Container Store is coming to Charlotte.

And we're all a-twitter about it. 

Literally. 

Now, those of you non-Charlotte peeps may not be very excited about this, probably because you live in a three horse town that already has a Container Store.  Those of us in Charlotte can only imagine your bliss. 

But we're comin' up in the world and come next Spring, our stuff is going to get organized. 

Just. Sayin'.

Tuesday's Girl

"I've always wanted to be taller.  I feel like a shrimp, but that's the way it goes.  I'm five-foot-four-and-a-half-inches -- that's actually average.  Everything about me is average.  Everything's normal in the books.  It's the things inside me that make me not average."

David - who really wants to camp.

To quote Fran Lebowitz:

"I am not the type who wants to go back to the land; I am the type who wants to go back to the hotel."

You know I can't get enough Jeff Buckley.

Love this.

This Charming Handbag

I'm currently in love with this:

The Louis Vuitton Pont-Neuf PM in Cassis Epi Leather. 

*heavy sigh*

Man!  If I won the lottery the first thing I'd do is hire myself a manservant and the second thing I'd do is buy a hybrid Lexus SUV and the third thing I'd do is take my manservant and my Lexus SUV and go to the South Park mall and clean out Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Prada and Chanel and make the manservant (who, in my imagination is named "Coco") haul them back to the SUV. 

I figure that'd tide me over until I could rent a jet and go to New York for some real bourgeois shopping.....

Yeah, I'd eventually get around to establishing foundations for the less fortunate, but in all honesty that's be after I had purchased pretty much every handbag in captivity.

Since I cannot currently justify the expenditure associated with Louis Vuitton, I have turned my attention to this one (I'm beginning to think that I should just call this post "Kate Spade of the Week").

This is the Knightsbridge Quinn in purple, which I love for three reasons:

I love the shape;
It's purple; and
I love the faux crocodile

And it's on sale.....  But it's not on sale enough.  That's right, I want to get it cheaper.....

Anybody know about any coupons?
