Hey, look what I just found.
{Did I google image myself?... Ok, yes, I did.}
It's a pic of Beth & me from the
Derek Blasberg's book
CLASSY
I got to see so many friends from Gilt Groupe,
that I had only "met" over the phone at work.
However, the highlight of the evening
was getting take home a copy
of this FANTASTIC book.
{Why did I not get him to sign it? Regret.}
I've been keeping CLASSY on my nightstand,
and flip through a few pages
whenever I get the chance.
Let me tell you-
the book is funny.
And sadly,
a spot on tutorial
combating the decomposing level of class
that this generation is reveling in.
Someday when I make it
beyond my "aspirational" years,
perhaps I will be one of the
svelte, celeb, girls
frolicking about with Blasberg...
I am always drawn to this book at the bookstore (re: I am inclined to buy turquoise books), but I wasn't sure if it was any good. I am definitely buying it now!

ReplyDeleteClassy, one of my favorite words, only I say it in a thick New Yawk accent so it comes out sounding like "Klaassy"
