It's the most wonderful time of the year

Can I just say how much I love Joe Zee? He's my idol. And I'm not ashamed to admit it. And this upcoming week more than ever I can't wait to read every single one of his tweets. After getting twitpic'd and update after update from the couture shows in July I absolutely can not wait until shows start at the end of the week! The only way this time of year could get better is if I was in New York. Thank God for @mrjoezee, @itsmechaneliman, @fashionista_com, @mrbradgoreski, @cutblog, @womensweardaily, @csiriano, @elle_com and so many more!

Another thing I don't think I could live without is the new Nordstrom Rack that opened back home. I went home for the long weekend and found the most perfect leather jacket. It has lapels, a diagonal zip and extra zipper details - all the things I said I wanted in a leather jacket. The only bummer was that one lapel was bent wrong. I let that little issue cloud my better judgement and I passed on the $169 Michael Kors jacket on Saturday (idiot!). However after having a few fashiongasms while talking to a girlfriend I realized the error of my ways. I called my mom and she made a trip to buy the jacket for me. Needless to say I owe her, and I can't wait until she comes down to visit in a few weeks so I can have full possession of my new jackets. I don't like to play favorites with my clothes, but if I did this jacket would definitely be at the top of my list. I'm floating on a sartorial cloud nine right now.
