To The Girl Who Bought This Vintage Norma Kamali Jumper Out From Under Me

You win, I lose. In the world of vintage fashion, it's shit or get off the pot. And THAT is exactly what my "tagline" intro thingy would be if I were on a reality show. Like when Jill Zarin goes "I run with a fabulous circle of people" on Real Housewives of New York. If I were on a reality show about vintage shopping I'd be like "in VINTAGE, it's shit or GET OFF THE POT." Okay, I wouldn't, because that's gross and lame, but my point is twofold: 1.) I sometimes think about what my tagline thingy would be if I were on a reality show (and then what physical thing would I do? Put my hand on my hip and squint? Toss my hair back and snarl? Roll my eyes in a really over-the-top way? Do that lick-your-finger-smoldering sound thing? Disappearing thumb trick?), 2.) When you find a one-of-a-kind vintage piece you really love -- like this Norma Kamali jumpsuit from Shopnastygal.com, GET IT. While I'm glad I know that I want to spend the spring in slouchy, blousy button-down one-pieces (vintage or otherwise), I missed out. Lesson learned.

PS -- Can someone who knows how to sew make me this jumper in an adult size? I'm so half serious.

This Cat Bathing Suit Is The Best Thing On The Internet Ever.

I used to think THIS was the greatest thing on the entire Internet.

But I was wrong.

This is:

It's a vintage Fiorucci bathing suit WITH A GROWLING BABY TIGER on it, and it WAS available at Shopnastygal.com, until some brave and lucky soul swooped in and chickenhawked that shit. (Via IsMental)

By the by, I'd never heard of Nasty Gal, but I'm down with some of their stuff for sure. Wishlist wants =

($68, Shopnastygal.com)

Because it's jumper-y, and you KNOW I love a jumper...

($58, Shopnastygal.com)

And you KNOW I love a horse!

I Bought It Files: Cheap Monday The Blanche Dress in Buffalo Plaid

($56, Cheap Monday, Karmaloop)

I bought this the other week from Epaulet in Brooklyn. I love that shop and its fantastic owners, and I love this comfy cotton Cheap Monday plaid jumper/ dress. (More jumpers I love/ want here.) Also, can I just state that Cheap Monday does everything American Apparel does but does it better and without papering enormous crotches across major urban intersections/ your browser.

10 Jumpers Under $100!

Hey guess what. I FREAKING HATE hot weather.

What I'm trying to say is, check out 10 really cute jumpers that flatter lots of body types (also, can I just say, I HATE the term "bodycon." It's dumb. Please stop saying it) AND cost less than $100! Also, why do they call them jumpers? Playsuits? Whatever. I just wanna spend all of the days between now and October laying around in airconditioning and wishing I lived in John Ritter's apartment in Three's Company.
