Lovely Passion Pit…does Boston really deserve you?
Swimming in the Floods | Passion Pit
What can I do?
The river’s overrun
We’re swimming in a flood, you know?
I thought I felt your touch
But the water’s rising up…
Annie- Songs Remind Me Of You
I wanted to write about the moment when your addictions no longer hide the truth from you. When your whole life breaks down. That’s the moment when you have to somehow choose what your life is going to be about.
— Chuck Palahniuk (via mascarah)
Today I caved under the pressure of my indulgent shopping freeze and bought these Young, Fabulous and Broke harem pants on Gilt Fuse. I love the ankle zipper in the back.
Rent the Runway, a new dress rental site, launched last week- just in time for holiday parties. Normally, I am not a fan of renting bags or clothing, but now that Rent the Runway has arrived, I am reforming my sentiments.
They have the best edited selection of designers- among my favorites were Pencey, Haute Hippie, Foley and Corinna and Matthew Williamson.
When you speak to customer service, you are actually speaking to a “stylist” and they know what they are talking about. If they don’t have a dress that you are interested in, ask them about it. They seem to know everything that’s on the market right now. I had a great conversation with them about why the Foley and Corinna bow dress wasn’t in stock (Foley and Corinna didn’t provide the dress to them), if they were going to get the blue Robert Rodriguez studded dress (it may be coming in soon, right now they have just the black one), and how on trend the designer was this season (me: “I really like Robert Rodriguez this season”, stylist: “Yes, he is really on trend this season.”).
Unfortunately, my uneventful life doesn’t have any reason to rent dresses. I better come up with one soon.
P.S. I don’t know how long their “wait list” is to enter the site. I can’t imagine that there really is one at all. If there is, email me, and I’ll send you an invite. And that is not a shameless plug to get referral money, I’m just trying to help a girl out.
