Product Review: Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate Moss (Shade 08)

Right now I’m particularly smitten with this 1950s wrap dress. I love any pattern that sets a romantic floral motif (especially roses!) against a more graphic, black-and-white background, and this design is especially lovely.
The measurements show that this garment probably won’t quite fit me, which is disappointing, but I’m sure it will find a good home in some other vintage-lover’s closet.

On the Street: William Carlos Williams, “Poem”
On the sidewalk of East 41st Street between Park Avenue and Fifth Avenue, otherwise known as “Library Way.”
The rose fades
and is renewed again
by its seed, naturally
but where
save in the poem
shall it go
to suffer no diminution
of its splendor
— William Carlos Williams
