Pretty Things said...: #1. Honey. You forgot something. No really. The skirt is divine. But let's talk La Perla.

#2 Completely divine. And of course it's Proust. It couldn't very well be chick lit in a frock like that, now could it?

#3 NOT the shoes I'd wear in a revolving door -- or an escaltor. Just sayin'.

#4 Examining tennis elbow never looked so chic. Serena Williams who?

#5 First word that popped into my head? Gazelle. Legs for days, and yes, I'm jealous. I mean, I just now realized she's playing chess, for heaven's sake.

#6 Mary Poppins the Younger.; September 22, 2009 at 9:33 AM
