Darcel's Appointment at Louis Vuitton

What an amazing way to BLOG.

Darcel's Life Through A Lens

Cult Blogger Craig Redman's Monocled Alter-Ego Doesn't Disappoint

Darcel, the subject of Craig Redman’s blog, Darcel Disappoints, is a cynical, one-eyed, Humpty Dumpty hipster on stilts. Darcel delivers dry musings on the trivial moments of everyday life in downtown New York, from fashion week hangovers to arriving on the subway platform only to see your train pull away. The Australian-born artist-animator started the blog when he moved to New York as a means of keeping track of things. “Since my writing skills suck I decided to draw my experiences,” says Redman, who recently took Darcel offline, to Paris, making him the subject of a multimedia solo exhibition at Colette. Darcel's latest destination was London, where he boozed and schmoozed his way through the Louis Vuitton Maison store opening, captured for NOWNESS by Redman, who also spoke to us about his charmingly self-deluded little character.

Toms...Shoes for Tomorrow




Not only are TOMS extremely comfy, but they come in all different colors, patterns, and sizes...tiny toms for kids. And personally, I think they are super cute.
The best part is...
*and don't think for a minute that me, my husband, and my boys don't each have a pair. With that kind of movement, you have to own some Toms!

Etsy


Have you ever shopped on etsy? For some reason, I am new to the website, but it is fantastic. I still haven't bought anything from it, though. I am hesitant to buy something, and have it shipped from the UK...it seems most of the things I want are from over yonder.
Etsy has just about anything you are looking for; jewelry, pillows, t-shirts. Then they have the not so practical stuff you can't find anywhere else like custom wedding cake toppers, antique mason jars, etc...
Vintage and Handmade are the key words to Etsy.
As someone once said "it is an Ebay for artisans."
Well, it is definitely worth checking out.
You never might know what you might need...or WANT!!!

Olivia vs. Tinsley

Socialites, how I love them. Which team are you on Team Olivia Palermo or Team Tinsley Mortimer (or do you really not care, like most normal people? Anyway, back to my warped world. Yes, Olivia is the biggest @^%$# on "The City," but she is a phenomenal dresser. Really, she is one of the best fashionistas EVER!!! Especially, the accessories...shoes, jewelry and the handbags. Tinsley, on the other hand, I don't know that much about. I never got a chance to watch her show, "High Society", and I curse myself everyday because of it....ARGH!!!

TEAM OLIVIA




TEAM TINSLEY

Is it obvious what team I am on. Yes, Team Olivia! But I do love the above picture of Tinsley.

shopping freeze...hahahahaha

i mean really who was i fooling. everyone who knows me is aware that the last post was a BIG FAT LIE...i didn't buy the top, but I bought some AMAZING pillows from target (or in this case, tarje'...they were expensive) for my couch. This was a difficult task because I wanted something floral, but it had to have black incorporated into it. my family room has lots of black accents...coffee table, wall decor, the dog, and(now) the pillows. i feel complete...for the time-being.
*Notice Archie, the dog. See above.

Built to Last



I am always on the look-out for grateful dead tees for my boys. It is easy to find ac/dc, the beatles, and the rolling stones tees, but not so much "the dead"...so when I see one, I purchase it, even if the price tag is $$$$ like the ones pictured (and i usually don't do that for
kid's clothes). I won't even tell you how much the one on the right was. You would tisk tisk me. Hopefully, they are "built to last." hahahaha...get it???

*blue one bought at madisonandfriends.com
*white one a score at nordstrom rack in AZ...thanks Rach!!! xo



MY WISH LIST

Haha, this is all fun and games, but it would be NICE!!! I especially could use Rosie from The Jetsons...live-in housekeeper/babysitter...now that sounds nice. The rest of the list is pretty self-explanatory. xoxo
