Today’s Object of Lust
Carolina Herrera. Le sigh.
Like so many of my objects of lust, this dress is not something I would have regular use for in my actual life, but I’m still in love. There’s something so quintessentially ladylike about it — it makes me want to put on the perfect pump (I have just the ones) and put my hair in a French twist and be off to tea at the soon to be reopened Plaza. I may not follow “Mad Men” enough to know what happened at the end of last season, but even I am susceptible to a little faintly retro charm. Would someone like to leave me a substantial fortune so that I can lead that life?
i can see grace kelly or kim novak gliding around in that. just imagine the fabulous ladylike little handbags they would carry to go with!
Exactly. I am probably less like Grace Kelly than, oh, just about anyone I know, but isn’t it nice to pretend?
