I do think it’s safe to say that I write more than the average blogger; yes, people are more inclined to re-visit those of pictorial aesthetics over those with paragraphs of words, but I am quite alright with that. I like to write, I like to go on tangents, and I do like the dainty tip-tapping of my keyboard whenever I spew out posts like this and this. It’s rewarding on my end, and hopefully for yours too. Regardless, it is my blog (ha-ha!), and I feel an obligation to write paragraphs worth of  w o r d s . “Brevity is the essence of lingerie,” said Dorothy Parker. Since I am not of that category, brevity, in turn, is not of my essence.

But to give your tired eyes a break, I’ve included two images below for your viewing pleasure. Seen everywhere, and now here too; I typically avoid redundancy, but simply could not resist. Take a good look at those Miu Miu clunkers of Spring/Summer 2010. So wrong, but so right. Childishly girlish, but sophisticated at the same time. It possesses all the qualities that would have been tacky, yet somehow, by some miracle (or genius?) chance, Ms. Prada had it all right.

I do plan on owning wearing these this summer. With little bandage minis and a semi-sheer, loose button-up tucked haphazardly in.
