Wanting:

I’m a sucker for sexy slippers and Donna Karan Collection shoes.

But these Donna Karan Collection lace-up mules are the opposite of why I love Donna Karan Collection kicks. These mules are so feminine, fashiony, and fussy –

All words that start with “f” that I’d rather never use.

These Donna Karan Collection mules are just a $300 chew toy for Major Dukes…

Wearing:

If you check the Giuseppes in my closet, you’ll find a different brand from the miscellany littering Mr. Zanotti’s boutiques. Giuseppe’s Madison Avenue home is a mess of camo-print peep-toes, Swarovski skull ballet flats, and lacy sandal boots, while my collection of Giuseppes are choice: chrome leather sandals, basic black shearling boots, sculpted wooden wedges, solid satin slippers, and –

A herd of mules.

I’ve been on a mule kick — ’cause I’m lazy. LA’s weather is ridick and beautiful — like most of its residents — so I can spend the year in stiletto slippers. I’m jogging all day in these Donna Karan Collection elastic black mules, which cost less than lunch — eBay ‘em for $45…

Wanting:

These Donna Karan Collection anklet sandals are so sexy, so choice, even with that creepy faux foot in the pic…

Wanting:

I just received Vivienne Tam’s “Butterfly Lovers” netbook (thank you, HP). Vivienne Tam’s latest digital clutch is as light as its butterfly looks but heavy with features, making for the double happiness (双喜) stamped on the keyboard. Glowing in brushed gold, the netbook’s as charming and smart as Ms. Tam, whom I had the luck of latte’ing with months ago.

So how is it I’m left wanting?

I need to Hackintosh it…

Loving:

I’ve just received these photos from the lady who raised Major Dukes. When he was months old, she took him to Belgium. Who knew. Next I’ll discover that he was married before…

Hating:

Major Dukes is as hairy as he is handsome.

I sneezed looking at this photo.

I’m taking German Shepherd haircut suggestions…

Using:

My 911 had two backseats with a hump between them, making it an unsafe drive for Major Dukes and my car’s leather. After Googling hard for a dog car seat to fit a Porsche, nothing surfaced. So Rob Phillips at Phillips & Co. Hotrods built a custom ledge for Major to ride on. Now Major can nap safely while he’s driven around in a Porsche by a hot chick in Giuseppes.

Major’s the Jay-Z of dogs…

Using:

I travel with as few things a possible. Before I had my Alstermo Bruk hand-made, hard-case carryon, I managed to stuff stuff for international trips into my laptop bag.

Impressed?

Given that, I usually don’t bother bring a razor, as any decent hotel’ll have one. But this USB travel shaver was just too amusing. The USB-powered shaver lights up bright blue when you plug into into your MacBook…

Wanting:

Rene Furterer Okara no-rinse conditioner? No brainer, if I can really cut out a step of my beauty routine.

I spend so much time figuring how to save time it’d probably amount to the same thing if I just rolled with the regular ways of doing things.

We’ll see.

Forgive me if this post is short, I’m training my German Shepherd Major Dukes to type for me…

Using:

My vanity is only matched by my smart laziness. I’ll go a week without washing my hair: it keeps my hair healthier, faster to fix, and –

Gives me another reason to cloud myself with L’Artisan Parfumeur Tubereuse perfume.

When I finally get around to cleaning up my bedhead, I use Okara Protect Color Protective Radiance Shampoo by Rene Furterer. Rene Furterer Okara shampoo makes your hair so smooth it’ll cut down the blowdry time, and its rich price helps justify a weekly wash…
