I hate how the fashion industry is always three steps ahead of the rest of us, and by three steps I really mean three seasons. Kudos to you for being such overachievers, but while I haven't even gotten my full Lilly fix yet, I just know that boxes of Fall are sitting in the warehouse waiting to be shipped and it makes my skin crawl. Not to mention that Resort was being steamed in the showroom months ago, and I'm sure Spring 2009 is well underway. Why does everyone have to be so damn professional?
On my way to Apple yesterday, I saw a girl come out of the subway in suede knee-highs. For a moment, I thought it was Mischa Barton.
Is anyone else suffering from Middle of Summer Paranoia? This gal hasn't even purchased her Sexy Summer Sandals yet! I tried to do so on the Coach website this morning, but low and behold, the sandal section has been replaced with the boot section. Even J. Crew snuck some cord pants into their new arrivals... don't think I didn't notice!
I can't take it anymore! I haven't finished my carton of lemonade, jumped in a pool, worn my new madras and rope bikini, fallen in love, or about a million other things that are quintessentially summer yet.
There's still hope, however. In two mere weeks from tomorrow I will be basking in the Hamptons glow, and then again a month later with AEG.
Until then... STOP THE MADNESS!
I love this post! I agree that I have not felt that "moment" of pure summer yet. Good luck finding it. And how adorable is Blair in that dress!
ReplyDeleteyou are such a liar. this was a great post.
ReplyDeletemo!
Summer is actually almost over for me! I didn't get back from Australia (aka winter) until end of June and I go back to DC for school August 15 :( I have a good month left and I will be doing all those summery things you listed!
ReplyDeleteSummer DIDN'T EVEN START HERE. I have lit the fire, re-opened my boxes of stored winter clothes, started cooking casseroles again and have two duvets on the bed. I am a green-white colour again. I am frankly releived to see autumn clothes in the magazines, so I don't have to be tortured by images of bikins and sundresses. I am getting bitter, I have to stop. Great post :)!
ReplyDeleteOh I hear you! I mean, here in Upstate we only just entered warm summer days a month or so ago. I don't want to see sweaters and fall colors until you know....fall. It's summer and I think it should stay that way!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! I've barely had my fix of summer and I feel like everyone is already wishing it away!
ReplyDeleteI agree with m.a. absolutely love Blair's dress! So excited for the new season!
I so feel the same way...I haven't even done a C. Park picnic yet. Bunch of my friends are going to the philharmonic Tuesday night if you want to come!
ReplyDeleteI did read it, finished it last week as a matter of fact. I liked it, I think I would have liked it better if I had actually BEEN to the Hamptons and knew what they were talking about! I did think it was a good summer read. I am about to read How the Other Half Hamptons, thanks to you my dear!
ReplyDeletetotally agree!! even a preschooler can tell you that july is a summer month!!!
