TGIF.

I've got nothing for you clothes-wise today...it's a wonder that I even managed to get myself dressed this morning with the hangover I've got, and I wouldn't want to bore you with pictures of me in jeans and flip flops (leather, not rubber - I'm not that hung over...not that I even own rubber flip flops, because I threw them all in the garbage in a grandstanding anti-rubber flip flop gesture one day when I was feeling imperious). Last night I met up with my friend Gilian to celebrate her new job (and my getting to work with her!) with a pair of mint juleps and a whiskey smash at Eastern Standard, then had half a bottle of wine with dinner at La Voile, then met up my my roommates and an assortment of other random people for trivia (and beer, and tequila shots) at Razzie's. Once I finally got home, I hopped in the shower, and then proceeded to blow the electricity with my hair dryer. At like 2 in the morning. All I can say is it's a good thing I'm charming, because if I wasn't, my roommates would hate me and I'd have no friends. I woke up this morning at 6 with an epic cramp in my left calf (that's what I get for wearing 5-inch heels for, oh, 16 hours straight), and then again at 7:15 when my alarm went off at the exact same moment as my over-the-door shoe rack, which by the by is like the bane of my existence, collapsed, strewing 24 pairs of high heels across my bedroom and not doing a whole heck of a lot to make me want to get out of bed.

Anyway, I did and now here I am, quite the opposite of bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, but I am in a fabulous mood nonetheless because it today marks the start of fashion week! And who doesn't love fashion week? I'll be checking out the slideshows on Style.com each morning and updating daily with my favorite new looks. Here's hoping my computer is up to it, as the Spring 2008 slideshows somehow managed to precipitate the untimely death of my hard drive, leaving me computerless - at work, which completely negates the purpose of like, being at work - for two days. Although most of my coveted labels show in Europe, I am looking forward to Michael Kors, Diane von Furstenberg, and a few others.
