Love the Chloe bag!!! I applaud your making the switch right outside the store; as you know I would've had to check the weather forecast for days before daring to bring out a new bag. Then again, you live in sunny SoCal and I'm in (presently) rainy NYC -- actually it's worse than that, it's sunny one minute and rainy the next. Oh the anxiety that creates!! Nicely done, e!

If one is feeling outgoing, then a smile isn't out of order. It makes people feel good, and offers us an opportunity to connect with others for no real reason at all. I love it when people compliment my shoes. The other day, I was in Nordstrom shopping for Chloé bags. I wore a red t-shirt, a silly Benetton jacket, Union peglegs, and Gucci ballerina flats http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446133635&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=282574492048029&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395222441&bmUID=1148076017970&ev19=2:15 (though I got them in off white) and I was complimented on the jacket, the jeans and the shoes by three different sales assistants within the space of about thirty minutes. Mind you, they're probably told to flatter potential customers who mill around pondering the putchase of an $1800 bag, but just the same, I felt good. Incidentally, I went to Chloé store at South Coast Plaza yesterday, and bought this: http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/13288 though in a chalk white, not the whisky/cognac color pictured. I was beside myself with glee. I didn't dare change out my handbags IN the store, lest I look too eager, but after I'd gotten out of sight of the store, I slinked into the nearest restroom and stealthily made the switch and strode out of there just thrilled with myself.

And loved the book too! Hooray Eliot! Love the shoes — (hopefully this does not sound weirdly overenthusiastic). And loved the book too! Hooray Eliot!

I have the same problem with hair. I'll see someone with a really cute hairstyle, and I'll want to say "can I take your picture so I can show it to my stylist?", but can you imagine? I would be the ultimate freak! Too bad though, because I tend to see cuter stuff in real life than I ever see in magazines or those horrible hair books.
