Cintra Wilson, I Worship at Your Feet

Apr 7, 2010

 

When I saw this jacket from Lilly Pulitzer, I tried to muster up some snark but the only thought I could manages was: “Dear God, are those pandas?”

As luck would have it, fashion guru Cintra Wilson has written a piece that is one part eloquence, one part fashion history lesson and two parts wit.   Her thoughts on visiting the Lilly Pulitzer shop in NYC:

When I visited the newly refurbished two-story shop on Madison Avenue, I was, as usual, dressed entirely in black, which doesn’t make me self-conscious in most New York locales. But here, it was a bit like attending a children’s birthday party in a latex ski mask.

Glorious.

    Cintra Wilson is an incredible wit. I love her New York Times clothing store reviews.

    Best of all: this is a men’s blazer.

    Men’s blazer? Sign me up. I am man enough to wear this for sure.

  4. Donna says:

    Lilly Pulitzer is very East Coast. As much as you might hate it Belle, that blazer would work at a number of functions.

  5. Belle says:

    Tis true that a panda loving man with too much money and not enough good sense could wear the jacket to Smith Point and Gold Cup and not appear a bit out of place. Of course, I could travel to Vegas and wear Uggs, Juicy sweat pants and an Ed Hardy tee to the grocery store and not look a bit out of place either. That doesn’t make it right.

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.
