A first

This was a first for me.

And like watching a Jennifer Aniston movie on my own volition or comfortably eating in its entirety a meal at Picholine that included a terrine of seared foie gras with black cherry reduction, four as-rare-as-the-chef-will-grill-them buffalo medallions, half a cheese platter and an overflowing Martini glass of Cointreau-infused chocolate mousse, this was a first I never saw coming.

This afternoon, I actually spent a significant amount of time - time I could've used to take the puddlebug squirrel-chasing in Lafayette Park or to focus more raptly on "Supermax: Pelican Bay" - to identify something worn by Mischa Barton.

I wasn't able to find the exact crescent-neckline trapeze-shaped mini, but I'm near positive, aside from the print on the collar, this is in fact Mischa's dress.

So, if you have around $200 to spend on a great year-round mini, I recommend picking up Fighting Eel's 'Egypt' dress in either black, red, mustard or steel-blue at any of the following online boutiques:

Rok + Lola ($209 at rokandlola.com)

Girlshop ($218 at girlshop.com)

Queen Bee Girls ($209 at queenbeegirls.com)
