Okay, since I posted a picture of my lunch at 27 Mix by accident (Heh - I meant to post it on Revenge of the Curves to tell on myself) I figured I would leave it up. I had some pressing offline responsibilities to take care of that have even kept me off of Facebook and Twitter, so you know I am not kidding...
I will be back to my newfound frenzied pace tomorrow.
Friends, Frenemies, Twitterers, lend me your ears...
Instead of guilt-tripping myself into trying to keep up with three blogs and offline responsibilites, I am taking a break. I will see you in two weeks, just after Labor Day and just in time for New York Fashion Week Spring 2009 and the inevitable Black Model Watch.
Enjoy the rest of your summer!

La Petite Coquette is a fun, really adorable lingerie boutique in the Village that I pass everyday on my way to class. Usually, I just admire the window display and keep going (it is finals time), but the other day I decided to stop in because I've been hunting for ideas for the next edition of my 55 Favorites list (55 Holiday Favorites - coming next week!)
While La Petite Coquette is no stranger to a celebrity clientele, don't let the pictures fool you. They also carry a considerable selection for the curviest among us.
Fantasie Bridgette Underwire Plunge Bra $79.00. Chantelle Chantilly Thong $52.00. Chantelle Chantilly Chemise $95.00.
