I know I promised to be more on top of things about posting, and then...well, I have no excuse, really. I'll keep trying. Anyway, thanks to my YKB pal Ami, I am now addicted to
The Sartorialist's Blog. I've been reading his column in GQ for years, and just started checking his blog daily.
Currently he's in India, and has taken some fabulous snaps (as they say), including the gorgeous one pictured above. Good grief.
I covet his job. For a while I had a semi-recurring column in
Sapna Magazine in which I would chronicle fashion dos and don'ts by taking pictures of unsuspecting folks and then writing up some snarky comments, but I just couldn't deal with the sneaking up aspect any more. I love being catty about what people are wearing, but it would be so much more fun to find people in
amazing outfits and revel in their amazingness.
On that note, I also feel the need to turn it out more, fashion-wise. I know I'll never be one of those people like my friend
Tinku, whose eye for style is totally innate, but I definitely need to refresh the closet soon. I love clothes, and I love putting together unique looks, but I feel like I've lost a little of my energy when it comes to being one step ahead of the curve. I'm hoping to find time this weekend to sneak over to
Jeremy's and do some buying.
This book arrived on my doorstep today and I can't put it down. Jhumpa Lahiri is amazing. I would give my left nut (figuratively) to be able to capture day-to-day details with the precision and reverence she does.
