Things I Love Thursday

The thing that most makes me aware of how fast time is scooting by is writing Things I Love Thursday. Every single week, it seems like less and less time has passed since the last one. Just now I actually looked at my calendar to verify that it was, truly, Thursday, since it seemed like mere minutes ago that I wrote last week's. God I sound like an ancient person. But enough about me, let's talk about things I like. (Oh, wait...)

1. The Chance To Stalk Derek Lam

Style.com reports that the super-talented designer is moving to my town! "Derek Lam has called New York City home for the better part of two decades, but the designer (who originally hails from San Francisco) hasn't forgotten his West Coast roots. Case in point: yesterday's sunglasses preview at the Chateau Marmont. "I love it here. I'm one of those people you always see walking aimlessly up and down Sunset Boulevard," he said. In fact, Lam likes L.A. life so much so that he plans to buy a house in the Hollywood Hills early next year. All the better for acquainting himself with the pack of California-based stylists and editors, many of whom experienced an indecisive moment at Wednesday morning's event while attempting to choose a style from the Spring/Summer collection. "Which ones are you wearing?" one asked Lam. But alas, the designer's silver aviator frames are not available—they're a prototype."
Derek, if you're reading this--and surely you are, since surely you Google yourself daily, right?--don't worry about finding a house in the Hills. My house is totally big enough for you, and we have a reaaalllly comfortable futon. You could even borrow my sewing machine! KIT, ok?

2. White Ray-Ban aviatorsSpeaking of aviators, I tried on Dieu's white Ray-Bans last night and remembered how much I love them and am truly incomplete without a pair. They are SO COOL and are one of the few pairs of glasses that look semi-OK on me. I never got them because they were too trendy for a while there (and, um, they're expensive), but now that the mega-trend has passed (replaced by Wayfarer madness) and aviators are nothing remarkable, I think I can safely wear them again. And since it's been several years, all my cheapo pairs have been sat on/lost/smashed at parties and taped onto my bedroom door in several pieces (thanks, Calebm who did just that one time in college). What better time to re-stock with The Pair? If only I weren't so sure that one of the above fates would happen yet again....

Oh yeah, so who are you stalking this Thursday? What's your latest love?
