Gentleman from Paris

I love this photo from the Sartorialist, mostly because I like to imagine this man's apartment in Paris: piles of old books that smell like cigars, full ashtrays and empty bottles of gin, art that's worth more than my whole house, and at least two smelly dogs.

My birthday is October 23, eight days before Halloween. Pretty much that means that my birthday has always been about Halloween. That's cool by me; it's a pretty good holiday. This year, I'm so into Halloween that I'm going to keep it going through Christmas. I put up my Halloween tree a few weeks ago, the Halloween wreath (complete with skeleton on a noose) is on the front door, and yesterday, Steven and I put our Halloween lights (orange icicles) up outside, and we'll be leaving those up through January 1. Now I just need to figure out how to make some good Halloween stockings to hang. Too bad I already have all my birthday presents so Steven can't put them under the Halloween tree!

My Eighth Birthday Party with a Halloween Theme. I'm the witch.
Note Steve's forward-thinking pirate/Napoleon Dynamite costume. He's way ahead of you losers.


I'll be dressing up for my birthday this year, too. Like a sushi-eating, champagne-drinking, old lady.

Teal and Black and I'm Not Looking Back by StephanieP featuring Anna Sui

I want that Anna Sui dress so bad it hurts inside. Has anyone seen her line at Target? I'm curious if it's cute in real life.
