This morning I stopped by Hester Street Fair and very nearly bought a beguiling pendant from Erica Weiner, whose designs are gorgeous. The item in question was a brass casting of a Waldorf-Astoria cocktail accoutrement on a short chain, very Art Deco and a nice complement to my flapper crop of late. I didn't get it though, I guess for the same reason one passes anything up; that's just the way it happened to turn out. A few years ago I read an interview with Maggie Gyllenhaal and she had this brilliant quote, about how you should always let your lover alone buy you jewelry so that you can see how someone else sees you, adorned. But can you ever really? Still, as a form of resistance, it works.

Windowlicker - from the French for window shopping: faire du lèche-vitrine - is more or less on summer hiatus, and will return in the fall.
