Hot Fashion

I stopped by La Palapa for tamales and a margarita and I see this girl wearing this lovely green wool mini dress with the back out.  I recognize the dress from a Page Six Magazine spread with Gossip Girl’s Jessica Szohr.  Sure enough, I asked the girl if it was the same dress designed by Chris Benz and she said yes.  I learned two things tonight: fashion is everywhere and it sucks to type when your thumb has a hangnail.
