When I'm rich and famous

Derek Lam, A/W 2009, look 18

I will have a cape. Not in the super hero, ready-to-save-the-day kind of way, but in the high fashion kind of way. I was flipping through the pages of my September Elle (still on the first read, too) and on page 272 my jaw dropped. Lust at first sight. In the Elle Shops Fall's Must-Haves section, no. 2 is the cape. Examples were drawn from Valentino, D&G, Celine and Derek Lam's collections. I would just like everyone to know that when I am creative director somewhere I will have a cape and wear it proudly. The cape has an air about it that lends itself to being worn by someone really special. I don't deem myself worthy of the cape yet, but someday I will be.

Diverging just a tad, I very much dislike how my magazines have been playing hard to get like they learned it from me. The first two weeks of the new semester have been jam-packed with not enough time to cuddle up with a copy of Elle or W and a glass of wine.
