i wait and tell myself, life ain't chess....

I begin the post with the introduction of a new character who will, invariably, be the topic of many a post, as he's already been the topic of many an angry conversastion with Cowgirl Cutie Laura. Let's call him Pudgy Peter. Fatuous Fellow tells Laura on Monday that a mysterious boy on the football team likes her. He can't say who it is, and the mystery boy wants to learn how to be a "playa" from Fatuous Fellow first. Not such a good omen huh? Well Caleb insists that he will tell Laura who it is if the boy himself doesn't pluck up the courage by next Friday.
Thankfully...or not so thankfully, Pudgy Peter admits what we all knew (I mean, who else could it have been) yesterday, sucessfully making Laura terrified of him. He told Laura that he didn't actually like her anymore, that he had "lost interest" but later takes that statement back.
If you're reading this Pudgy Peter, unlikely but possible, give it up. You're not exactly her type. It's not gonna happen, she will wait until death for Lucious Lad Jason. Sorry, but I have to be honest....

In other, more positive news....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNA WINTOUR AND GEMMA WARD
Fashion must have a sixth sense about these uber-fashionable women to create them on the same day.

Outfit of the day
This should have you thinking of warm summer dreams (otherwise known as yesterday here in LA!)

Anna Sui Silk Dot Print Dress $480 www.net-a-porter.com
Funky and adorable, would snatch it up in a hearbeat.


Chloe Silverado Leather Boots $1,155 www.net-a-porter.com
I could figure out a way to work these into every outfit I own. However I'm not sure if even that would justify saving up my money for 2 whole months for them. Especially since I bet I would just get sent to the bottom of the wait list.


Glazed Crescent Bag $398 www.anthropologie.com
Just like the description said, the first thing that came to mind when looking at this bag was a delectable french pastry...yummy!


The Classic:
Burberry London Winsdor Trench Coat $1175 www.net-a-porter.com
Everyone should have one (or an imitation) in their closet. The colors and sophistication of the buckled coat really help to balance out the funkiness of the boots and dress.


RUBY'S ONLINE SHOPPING STEALS:
The best of the sales


C&C Classic Bold Strip Tank $24.50 www.shopbop.com
I always saw buying C&C tank tops as unnecessary frivolity, when you can get close to the same quality for much cheaper than their usual prices. This sale brings basic tanks like this (it comes in more than 7 other colors) into the realm of possible "smart" buys.


Hermes Silver Blue Enamel H-Screw Bracelet $432 www.bluefly.com
Seems an extraordinary amount, but this Hermes bracelet is truely a classic. You will be happy you got it at any discount.


Karen Zambos Vintage Couture V Neck Mini Dress $170.50 www.shopbop.com
Adorable, can't see why it's on such sale!


Michael Kors Brown Suede Peep Toe Wedges $111 www.bluefly.com
I never liked Michael Kors shoes, or wedges, but I'm strangely attracted to these, and at such an affordable price, we can afford to experiment.


Rebecca Beeson Ivory Pleated Square Neck T-Shirt $33 www.bluefly.com
Cute twist on a basic for a deal!


Blue Cove Tunic $64 www.anthropologie.com
Adorable take on the spent trend.


Cabochon Tank $49 www.anthropologie.com


Dinette Top $39 www.anthropologie.com


Tracy Reese Dobby Dot Dress $99 www.anthropologie.com
I.LOVE.THIS.DRESS. Seriously, it's on supersale from about 300 people, snatch it up! If I wasn't resigned to my Gucci heels I would!
