McQueen lip gloss is fine and good, but...
...this asymmetrically-draped Grecian style column gown from the brilliant Brit's too tiny section at Saks -a beauty I only intended to photograph but after saleswoman Maria's sweet wink and West Berlin tinted "Darling, just a taste, yes?", I swallowed hard, calculated in my head how many hours of language tutoring it would take to pay off a $5,295 pricetag and followed her into a dressing room "bigger than the Blue Banana"- just might have given me my most favorite fashion moment of my young life.
I think I actually liked the back better than the front...
Draping as structured and layered as this is something you really can't find in lower-end pieces
It's not just that I'm standing next to a blue-sequined shirt dress...this gown really is that stunning.

A last-minute decision
Unfortunately for you and me both, at the last minute I've been called out of town for work-related reasons from today until Friday to a place that is ASJiNE inaccessible indoors and 25 degrees colder outdoors.
Yeah, I'm pretty over the moon about it, too.
Of all the pictures I could leave you with until I return on Friday afternoon, I wanted to give you something pretty to look at, something somewhat fashion-related and of course, something Monte-focused. I think you'll agree the one I chose of the Baron von Bobbysocks and his trusty pal Burt (obscured by my heavy legs) investigating the new Chanel collection at Saks this past Saturday fits the bill quite nicely.
Before any of you go crazy with your rant-tastic "how could you bring your dogs into Saks?!" attitudes, please to note that the floor manager of the designer section approached Hot Redhead Lawyer and me on his own accord and effusively thanked us for having done so, calling the practice "so French" and therefore, not just perfectly acceptable but correct.
p.s. before the rumors start spreading, yes, there was a "situation" earlier in the day on Saturday, and yes, it did involve this position in this store. I would like to thank the proximate shoppers who politely looked in the opposite direction during the actual "release," the nice man from the espresso kiosk who so graciously threw away the Border's coupon with which I tidied up the accident, and oh yes, HRL for informing everyone from a small child in the shoe department to a Humane Society volunteer distributing adopt-a-pet flyers to an elevator full of chatty tourists that my dog has a penchant for taking dumps in upscale department stores.
p.p.s. if you too have been feeling a little heart-achy around the holidays, please check out the iMix I put together to make those consciously melodramatic "I wonder what ____ is doing right now..." gazes out the airplane window just a little bit more consciously dramatic:
1. "I'll be over you" (Toto)*
2. "Again" (Lenny Kravitz)
3. "Almost lover" (A Fine Frenzy)
4. "The tracks of my tears" (Smokey Robinson & the Miracles)
5. "All my life" (Linda Ronstadt)
6. "No names" (Kate Rusby)
7. "No one" (Alicia Keyes)
8. "Someone said goodbye" (Enya)
9. "I'm not in love" (10cc)
10. "The search is over" (Survivor)
11. "Ballad of a bitter end" (The Poems)
12. "As long as I live" (Anita O'Day)
13. "How lucky we are" (Meiko)
14. "It ain't over 'til it's over" (Lenny Kravitz)
15. "Answer" (Sarah McLachlan)
16. "If we never meet again" (Louis Armstrong)

Because I know it's wrong...because I know it's wrong...
I've learned quite a bit about being a Mum in the past two years.
I've learned how to manipulate my schedule just so to ensure my puddlebug gets his minimum four 20-minute walks per day no matter how busy, sick or heartbroken I happen to be; I've learned how to reconcile my penchant for wearing all clothing black while living in a constant state of shedded white fur; I've learned the necessity of reallocating funds away from my shopping habit to put toward his monthly insurance bill and Shady Springs slush fund; and then there are the little things, like learning how he needs his paw stroked through rough patches of airplane turbulence and how to diffuse his frustration when I fidget too much during our superclose shared sleep.
In short, since I've had my little Montesquieu, I've become a much more responsible, selfless and practical person.
So much so, in fact, that when I receive e-mails like the one today from Saks announcing the addition of "Juicy Crittoure" pampered dog accouterments to their online offerings, I can honestly say, despite my own fixation with twice daily full-body moisturizing, I wasn't even tempted to place this Pawtection softening paw balm ($28 at saks.com) into my basket.
Not even a little bit.
After all, even an entitled prince(ss) still needs his ability to grip a sidewalk.
