Above, Meg Allan Cole's how-to for a super easy, customizable (and fast!) DIY gift that's perfect for a new mama: a DIY Growth Chart (with optional felt appliques).

Actually, kind of a sickly yellow-gray-purple, and weirdly bright for that time of night thanks to the reflections of the city lights.

How do I know this?

Because I see it Every. Single. Night.

I've always had a night wakefulness problem - around 2 or 3 is usually when it happens; it's called "habitual awakening" (where it's become such a pattern that my mind actually wakes itself up regardless of external circumstances) - but last night was something special.

Diane Kruger, generally. This dress, specifically.

Also, while we're talking Met Ball - can I just say, how great is Sarah Jessica Parker? Not the dress - the lady. She knows that everyone is constantly evaluating her fashion choices (because she's Carrie, even though I'm sure she's as tired of SATC references as the rest of the world), and does not care. Or, rather, she cares a lot, but certainly doesn't care what the critics think: of course she knew that this dress would guarantee her a spot on every Worst-Dressed List, but she likes what she likes, and wears completely bizarre pieces bravely, and with an obvious sense of humor.

She's basically a mission statement of what I enjoy about fashion.
