Who am I? Where am I? And what has happened to Pretty Cheap Dress? If you've ever found yourself uttering these words, then you know that a liberal helping of water and self forgiveness is in order. Two posts in one season?? Sacrilege you say, and agreed. But c'mon. Summer is skimpy. Skimpy clothes, skimpy bod (except for me), skimpy print, skimpy news--and seriously, I repeat, there has been minimal to write about.I do come armed, however, with fat prospect. Er, at least fluffy hope. One should expect a word from PCD's guest blogger Blaine for insight on what the "manz" will be sporting come fall. Also, congratulations to Absolutely Rachel and her recent promotion to Business Manager as we will hear of the newest and most promising product from lines such as Perricone MD, SkinMD and Frederic Fekkai. Speaking of face, I noticed many summer covers were very light on the make up. Wait, light is light--nude is more like it.

And of course, Sasha Cohen as zany Bruno in the June issue GQ, which is the first time a subject has graced its cover completely naked. (Note: Fellas, if you'll recall, Jen Aniston was wearing a tie. Modest gal, that one.)
Speaking of notes, use these last days of summer to research a new autumn scent. They say ones' sense of smell is the strongest link to memory recollection. I know this to be true as there for a while, everytime I reached under the bathroom sink for toilet paper, it reminded me of my ex. Something about the smell... Anywho, I recently re-discovered Archipelago's Botanical Milk Soy Lotion No. 12 and know for a fact I was not a fan a few years ago. How could I have not loved this mature, luxurious lather that doubles two in one!? Because, as proved by the continual need for t.p., we change. Given the impending change in seasons, aim for one such as this as your skin will appreciate the consideration. Be scientific about it: what lasting impression do you want in your scent? Where and when can you incorporate this into your vibe? More on this to come...
So, Bruno for the eyes, minimal for the face, and a scent to please the nose is all ancillary to the clothes. CLOTHES, I say! is the culmination and evidence of all things good. And why we have The September Issue. And The September Issue is why we have clothes...and kids and ex-husbands.

Love it, as usual. I need a new scent. For some reason, I've been feeling free to purchase things for myself all week. Even though my birthday is coming up. What can I say, everyone has their selfish moments!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering what might happen if I sent you a photo of an article of clothing that I needed to accessorize appropriately. Or figure out the right shoes for, or whatnot? Might you be able to use the image in a post, adding pics/suggestions for said accessories? Or you could just look at the picture and write me about it :)
