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…

Hating:

The only chick who would wear this Trovata plaid boyfriend shirt dress deserves a boyfriend who would wear a shirt like this…

Wearing:

Whenever I wear one of my bespoke shirt dresses, a man stops me and asks me if I’m wearing a dress or a shirt. Chicks look me up and down, and maybe ask me where I bought my shirt dress. I never tell them, but I dig you so much that I’ll share: I’ve had them made by Belgian-born shirtmaker Freddy Vandecasteele.

When Freddy Vandecasteele first measured me, I told him I wanted a shirt dress that fit well, but short and loose enough that it might be mistaken for a boyfriend’s buttondown. My first bespoke shirt dress was Oxford blue cotton, and the second was black linen. Both had a “KD” monogram that matched the fabric. I loved the Oxford blue bespoke shirt dress for its classic menswear vibe, but I loved the linen more for its minimal maintenance: it looks lovely wrinkled.

So for this July’s Basque Country trip, I had Freddy Vandecasteele make me three more shirt dresses, in linens in classic menswear colors…

Hating:

I’m a sucker for A-line silhouettes, but I’m not sure I’ve seen a worse way to blow $500 than this Black Fleece pleated dress.

Unless you gave a gay man $500 to tell you you’ve got a figure that should be hidden under a tent, you’re more a girl than a woman, and you’re bad with money.

Wait, same difference…

Wanting:

I saw this Black Fleece pointelle polo shirt in San Francisco’s Black Fleece boutique — it’s sheer and subtle S-E-X.

So what’s keeping me from buying it? I’m not sure what I’d wear it with, since I don’t sport pants.

I suppose I could wear this Black Fleece polo with just a pair of Giuseppes. Kristopher Dukes, Inc. has Half-Dressed Fridays at the office…

I didn’t mean to turn my back you on, darlings.

I took a vacay from blogging dilettantism to be an actual dilettante. But I’m back.

And I’m still stuck on my uniform of bespoke silk jersey tank dresses, but I figured I ought to own at least one dress that hits below the knees, and this Black Fleece gray shift dress was a steal on Gilt Groupe.

Plus, it’s because this Black Fleece gray shift dress covers you up completely that that button-down back looks like an invitation…

Wearing:

I bought this Norma Kamali for Walmart long cardigan to wear with my White Sands deep V-neck, one-piece swimsuit.

I love how a preppy cardigan pairs with a plunge-neck one-piece, a la Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface, but how often will I wear the two together?

Very often.

I’m uncomfortable in flats, but I bought these Giuseppe Zanotti riding boots so I can ride Major Dukes, my German Shepherd, sidesaddle.

Actually, I bought them for hiking the Grand Canyon with him in March.

I plan on photographing all that natural beauty: I’ll limit my smoky eye to three shades of shadow, and cut Major’s collars down to two.

That big slash in the earth might make it into some pictures, too…

Louis logos make me yawn, but you’ve got to dig the way this classic khaki Mack’s sleeves roll up to reveal Monsieur Vuitton’s monogram.

So choice.

Picture this Louis Vuitton Mackintosh trench coat‘s sleeve cuffed to expose my President, while my custom “K” pinkie ring is buried in the fur of my German Shepherd –
