…if i were a painter….

This is the book I wish I had written myself.  The actual book you may see my name on in the future is titled “Faux Pas,” and it is an autobiography.

Like I Give a Frock is a book that I ran across while shopping with Lauryl in LA. [Lauryl writes one of my favorite blogs.  She is just as lovely in person, too!  Crazy talent, that girl.]  It is beautifully illustrated and all shades of snarky.  Yes, a tad bit pretentious.  But what is fashion writing if not a bit snooty?

From the publisher’s site:

“Meet Michi. She’s sometimes stylish and sometimes tragic, but she always knows best. She’s sharp and funny. (And maybe just a tiny bit opinionated.) She’s just a shopping queen, weather-watcher and quite possibly the best advice-giver you’ve ever met.

Do you ever wonder when a baguette became a bag and and not just a piece of bread? (Fendi, 1998.) Or when it became acceptable to wear a tracksuit to the supermarket? (It didn’t.) Fishnets at work? Evil sales assistants? The plague of the fat ankle? Michi has all the answers. And if you were thinking of buying a playsuit, just don’t.”
