Ok, the picture behing the blog title has been changed from an adorable Ruddy Kingfisher to a wonderful American Goldfinch!
Has anyone else off in cyberspace started their Christmas lists? (Yes, I still do that. They're much shorter than they used to be though! And now they don't include Barbies.)

Hey
Hi, sorry I haven't posted. I've been very very very busy. I've been:
A, preparing for the Big Sit!
B, sewing my Halloween costume.
And C, perusing France and New York City.
The Big Sit is one of the biggest Birding events of the year. It lasts for all 24 hours of October 15th, which fell on a Sunday this year. If you're participating you are supposed to bird-watch for the whole time and count how many birds you see and hear. I think if you're a member of the National Birding Association (NBA, ironically enough) you can submit your number and the biggest one wins a prize or something. I spent most of Sunday sitting outside, part of the afternoon my friend sat with me. I identified (saw or heard) 3 birds! For a major amateur like me that's incredible! Congratulate me (with comments!)
Haha, it's been awhile since I pleaded for comments, from readers who I severely doubt are there.
My Halloween costume is Gaz, the sister of Dib from Invader Zim. I'm wearing a purple wig (I dyed an old blonde one of my mom's) and clothes I obviously am making myself.
And I was doing my perusing of France and New York City via Google Maps "street view." It's sososososo incredible. I've only been to NYC twice but I love it. And France never, unfortunately.
Anyway, GTG.

A Boot, in Honor of Those Changin' Leaves
These are Manolo Blahnik cap toe booties. I love their vibe. It's kind of film-noir, right? The Chanel-esque cap toes, the monocromatic, staid coloring. Aren't they great?
Speaking of Chanel-esque, I need to tell you something that can now only be called Chanel-esque.
Coco avant Chanel. Coco before Chanel. I can tell you right now that the movie is going to be a farce of the early life of my idol. In the review in the Times, it said, blatantly incorrect, that Coco and Adrienne were sisters. THEY WEREN'T! Adrienne was her frickin' AUNT! Dammit. She had two sisters, Julia who was a moron and faced the same fate as her mother, accidental pregnancy and being worked to death. And there was Antoinette, who died of a disease like yellow fever in South America.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT
Yes, I know I haven't posted in awhile, I haven't mentioned Fashion Week, like I care. I've beenn busy.
BUT TODAY IS AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT DAY.
Today is Tuesday, September 29th. DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TODAY?
Yes, that's right.
PARAMORE'S THIRD ALBUM CAME OUT, BRAND NEW EYES.
OMG. I AM BEYOND EXCITED!
I'm trying to pace myself, so I only bought one song today, "Playing God". It's beyond awesome. I've played it so much already.
Whatever. I gotta go watch Grey's Anatomy on my TiVo. It's the season premiere!

It's Almost Here!
Yup, that's right. It's that time of year again: Fall Fashion Week. Is it fall? I can never be sure, because they show the spring fashions in fall and the fall fashions in spring. But Fashion Week means a lot of things. Summer laziness is over and it's time to get back to work and school, and it's time to get back to looking CHIC.
Last week on Project Runway they did surfwear, which I am hoping was just a tribute to the end of summer. But a lot of the design teams (Teams! Can you believe it?) did a Tim Gunn: they made it work! But I am with Heidi and I was shocked to find out what happened with Mitchell and Ra'mon. One team member being the winner and the other getting kicked off? Wtf?
But back to Fashion Week. It also means that all the fall styles you salivated over in February when they were on the runway are now available in stores!
So I'm going to include a schedule for New York Fashion Week (Sept. 10-17) with all the notable designers:
Thursday, September 10th
10am: BCBGMAXAZRIA in the Tent
2pm: Mara Hoffman on the Promenade
Friday, September 11th (also the anniversary of 9/11. But I will feature a memorial post on the day of).
6pm: Nicole Miller
Saturday, September 12th
10am: Lacoste in the Tent
4pm: Christian Siriano (Project Runway alum!) on the Promenade
Sunday, September 13th
10am: Lela Rose in the Salon
1pm: DKNY at 711 Greenwich Street
3pm: Herve Leger by Max Azxria on the Promenade
4pm: Diane von Furstenburg in the Tent
Monday, September 14th
10am: Carolina Herrera in the Tent
12pm: Jill Stuart at the New York Public Library
1pm: Tracy Reese in the Salon
Tuesday, September 15th
10am: Badgley Mischka in the Tent
2pm: Max Azria in the Tent
7pm: Tibi on the Promenade
Wednesday, September 16th
9am: Tory Burch in the Salon
10am: Michael Kors in the Tent
11am: Nanette Lepore on the Promenade
2pm: 3.1 Phillip Lim in the Tent
6pm: Anna Sui in the Tent
Thursday, September 17th
9-11am: Ralph Lauren in the Skylight Studio, 275 Hudson Street
Okay, that's it. Of course there are more designers showing that that, but I included the ones that are, in my opinion, of note.
So if you can get to New York City AND you've got enough major clout to have scored an invitation to any of the above shows, go and tell me all about them! (in comments, s'il vous plait.) Everything's in Bryant Park, of course.
