[thanks gala!]
- Having TiLT and Chester French collide - I'm going to see Chester French tonight in West Hollywood, and what do I see when I open up Gala Darling's Things I Love Thursday (the O.G.) but Chester French topping her list! Cosmic, absolutely cosmic. I do so love when my world gets scarily small. Chester French, btw, is a band made up of two Harvard boys who "write Beach Boys-esque pop songs and count Kanye and Pharrell as fans." Nice. So anyway, since Dieu is basically a 24/7 VIP she has free tickets for us tonight, and to make the world even smaller, I have to drop off stuff for work with a woman who's also a sommelier at Comme Ca, which I've been dying to try for weeks. So of course I'm snatching the chance to dine like VIPs (since I "know someone" I don't need a reservation) and then go to the Viper Room for free. I love free. It gives me a chance to spend money instead on a pair of black jeans from Rogan for Target, which I saw on someone recently and which looked awesommmme (the black Topshop jeans I have are so stretched-out that I can pull them on and off without undoing the zipper. Not good.).
- People magazine's newest issue - I love how People has had to re-make itself in US Weekly's image in order to compete. The latest issue is literally all photos of celebs and products. Not one article. Not ONE. They're beating US at its own game, I guess. I find it totally hilarious.
- Flat sandals - I've been a ballet-flat girl for years, and have generally shunned open-toe shoes because I hate the feeling of collecting layers of dust on my feet throughout the day. but after reading Bernard Rudofsky's explanations of why shoes are basically bad for feet, and after seeing the awfully pretty flat sandals that are available this season, I'm rethinking my stance. Not that I've broken down and bought any yet (I literally do not own ANY)...but I'm on the lookout. Any suggestions? Hmm....

I know they're not quite gladiator-ly, but I'm loving these sandals that I got from J.Crew: http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/product.jhtml?id=prod88559161&catId=cat303249.
They are literally the most comfortable shoes I've ever had!
Check out the K. Jacques pair I posted on my blog recently.
Hi Rachel! I really want these...

Bowen, I LOVE those. I think I've seen them on you...and I'll try to hold off on stealing your style but it might prove difficult :)
WendyB, thanks - how cool that they come in red!
And hi Lori! Omigosh, it's lovely to hear from you - how is everything? And those sandals are awesome, especially with the colored backs. Screw natural leather.
P.S. to everyone: I've just discovered that Old Navy makes some pretty killer-looking gladiators. I'm suspicious that they might prove cheaply made & unwearable (Payless syndrome)...but man, how tempting. Todd Oldham is really doing a number on Ol' N.
i think i need these yellow sandals! they could make the most boring of outfits seem fun and stylish!
