"all the world will be in love with night"
Stars to wear that make me think of Romeo and Juliet, an old western, blue domed cathedral ceilings spangled with gilt gold stars.Â

A BOOK'S WORTH OF FOLDED POTATO CHIPS.
I chain-smoke books. From time to time, though, I hit a rut and nothing sticks. When this happens I like to turn to what Rony calls "literary potato chips." My current bag of literary potato chips is Tina Brown's Vanity Fair Diaries. - the introduction is a slog but then it's one folded chip after the other (my favorite kind).

Eye See You
<p>I'm so pleased to have covetable, collectible stationery by Minnie Olga aka Lauren McIntosh on the shelves of our tiny shop. Her own store, Tail of the Yak, is legendary and does not have a website, so one must imagine the wonders all the more! One day I will visit. <a href="https://www.catbirdnyc.com/designers/minnieolga.html">Until then</a>... xo Leigh</p>
NYFW as seen from my couch
The most fashion-y thing I did this fashion week was wear my new Italian nightgown to visit my best friend's new baby boy in the hospital that both she and me and my daughter were born in. I'm also enjoying my usual internet prowl around the shows I like to look at (Rodarte, Marc Jacobs, Simone Rocha, Miu Miu, Prada, Cecilie Bahnsen, No 21, Rochas, The Row, Valentino) to search for some styling inspirations, ie how to wear my socks and old party dresses, t-shirts I've inherited from my husband (and my new favorite from Rony), and sweatpants come winter. And then of course there is the glory of the colors - I like it like candy, sorbet, pastels, but with a streak of weird and mainly black and white (best treated themselves as colors). Currently, I aspire to the perfect plastic tote (see attached Simone Rocha for Moncler reference) to house my brown-orange-seafoam plaid Prada pouch, and my daughter's bottle.

A thing I love: literary newsletters
I manage to keep up to date with all the latest happenings about 50+ year old literary scandals and the gossip of said demi monde with a retinue of literary newsletters, including but not currently limited to: Lit Hub (oh how I covet their unpurchasable Joan Didion tote!), The Paris Review, TLS, and NYRB (though i was very mad at them for publishing the article revealing the identity of Elena Ferrante!).

Dress to impress a donkey and a fairy queen.
Current mania for dresses paired with sneakers as evidenced by: myself, my small daughter, and I believe Titania pictured here, were she to hike up her party dress to show you her kicks.

were it not for the chartreuse
We are not yet in the stretch of summer where the cool dark of a corpse by the side of a pond laden with lily pads feels like the right place to be, but we are always in the days of dresses in colors like cold scoops of ice cream sidled up next to black as night, white as a lamb shifts.
