Bag of the Day

Isn't it beautiful? It's the Marc Jacobs Ostrich bag, now named "BB" in honor of our (insert Tyra finger wag) FIEEERCE friend Bryanboy. You are all fabulous and we know it.

MARC JACOBS - STYLE FILE

From today's NYTimes Style Mag:

Marc Jacobs has had more than his fair share of headlines lately. Thanks to the press’s due diligence, we’ve learned that he eats health food and has a personal trainer; that he’s dyed his hair blue (it’s back to brown), got tattoos and bought four diamond studs; that he collects art; and — somebody call the vice squad! — that he’s rumored to have landed a date or two online.

But what everyone seems to neglect is his work at Louis Vuitton and for his own label, which is consistently ahead of the curve. This season, he explored a new kind of sexiness with purposely disheveled, lingerie-inspired looks — the kind of balance between innovation and sophistication that a cool French actress like Élodie Bouchez (four months pregnant at the time of this shoot, and with no patience for maternity duds) can appreciate. Bouchez, whose latest project is ‘‘Après Lui,’’ with Catherine Deneuve, spent time in America guest-starring on ‘‘Alias,’’ but she met Jacobs in Paris. ‘‘We appreciate the work each of us does,’’ she says. ‘‘His clothes are different but at the same time respectful of women.’’

HOLLY + MJ = FOREVER

VA-CAY-CAY

I have just spent a few days at Le Touessrok hotel in Mauritius and discovered that my reputation as an auctioneer extraordinaire followed me to the Indian Ocean. While polishing off pudding on the night of the resort's anniversary dinner, I was asked to auction a picture for charity. Having washed down all 10 courses of dinner with copious amounts of wine, I was a little nervous. In fact, I was worried that I would get up in front of 300 guests and be unable to talk - or even walk. And the result? Well, just call me Little Miss Smug. They had hoped to raise about Pounds 1,200 but, thanks to the silver tongue of mwah, they were presented with a cheque for more than Pounds 5,000.

The next day I decided to go for an early-morning run down to the sea. As I had a private beach, I set off wearing nothing but a smile, only to run straight into a little German man. Last time we had met, he shouted at me for playing my Three Tenors CD too loudly. This time, he was so surprised that he couldn't look me in the eye, until he realised that it was more embarrassing to look anywhere else. After a few mumbled apologies he hurried away and, I have to say, he was very nice to me after that, although his wife shot me some poisonous glances.

Dating in Boston - The Truth

According to Sunday's Boston Globe writer Richard Florida confirms our belief (our being the single gals) that women on the our side of the country have a much harder time finding a man than if they lived on the West Coast.

While one may read this article and conclude that there must be something wrong with East Coast women, in this case Bostonian ladies, Your Holly Golightly unveils the truth of the matter...We women of Boston have a hard time dating due to the lack of this cities quality men.

Yes you heard me, it's not that the women are doing something wrong, it's the guys. In hope of changing the status quo of the Bostonian dating scene, Your Holly Golightly is here to lend the men some key tips:

1. NEVER, and I repeat Never is it a good idea to begin an convo with a woman by insulting her. Yes, we understand you are joking but it still makes you look like a child and any interest we might have had is now completely gone.

2. If you are at a bar with "your buddies" (god I hate that phrase) please refrain from shouting in our ear. We are standing close enough to hear you at a normal tone, please spare our hearing.

3. If you ask a girl out to dinner plan something nice and DO NOT bring her to a chain restaurant (ie. Cheesecake Factory)... ugh! Boston has many fine restaurants, try one.

4. Put some effort into your appearance...Abercrombie + Fitch was cool in high school, it is no longer attractive. Splurge and invest in a pair of great jeans and some Dior. Find out who Brian Kinney is and copy his exact look, so everything except the gay factor.

5. Even though we love our Sox and Pats, there is a lot more going on in today's world. Pick up the NY Times and educate yourself on current events. A guy who knows about more than sports is an instant girl magnet.

6. oh and stop with that Horrible Boston man-boy haircut. The crew cut should be left behind with the A+F clothing. It's hideous. Oh and become one with male beauty products...yes they make them for men and trust me you will love them.

XOXO
