Jailhouse Rocks


One of my best friends, Marley, recently took up knitting. She came out to dinner some months ago sporting this adorable multicolored knitted scarf. I couldn't believe she made it. I think I'm savvy with needle work but I could never do that. Right now I'm third on her list of projects to make. I asked for a grey knitted beanie.

Speaking of knitting I was browsing through Topshop. com (can you believe I still have yet to visit the one in soho...shame on me) and found some adorable short sleeve cropped knitted sweaters. It seems to contradict itself...short sleeve-cropped-sweater? Whatever. Spotted the gorgeous MK (with her equally gorg boyfriend) wearing one of Topshop's knitted sweaters but in dress version. (Or is it a dress becuase she's so mini?) I love sweater dresses although I have yet to wear my Charlotte Ronson sleeveless sweater dress. But that's besides the point.

I really love this (the one MK is wearing in cropped) and this one. I used to hate horizontal stripes for fear of looking wide but I like the whole jailhouse look. I think these will definitely come in handy once summer comes to end. Err how could I think such thoughts...nyc has finally got back some decent weather. I shudder at the thought of summer ending now.

Anyway, thanks for your comments about the body con dress. I really appreciate it. =)
