A Winter Uniform
I have been very lazy lately. And by lazy, I don’t mean not getting things done, and not checking things off the list. I mean in the fashion department. I have been wearing the same boring look day in and day out. My winter uniform consists of a turtleneck, a... Read More
Weekend Wears
I love to make lists. By checking off various tasks on my to-do lists, by end of day, I feel a sense of accomplishment. And if don’t cross it off, the task moves to the following day till it’s completed. It’s a trick I learned in college and stayed with me throughout... Read More
From Lanvin: Fashion Firecracker
Shine! Need to inject some brightness into your life? Alber Elbaz at Lanvin is happy to oblige. For spring he offered an audacious display of shine — filled with lamé, satins, Lurex, and brocades— in the form of jumpsuits, gold jackets, blouses, and t-shirts all for our blinding pleasure. Tripping the light fantastic,... Read More
The Shirt Dress
A highly versatile blank canvas, the shirt dress is the perfect end of summer, moving quietly into fall essential. It is essentially an oversized man’s shirt turned into a dress, without the fuss. This is a piece that should exist, in some incarnation, in the wardrobes of every style-conscious woman. No... Read More

Black and white comprise the backbones of my wardrobe. I started collecting black clothes when I moved to New York many years ago, and white has most recently been a refreshing non-color choice for me all summer long. Although ubiquitous color choices for fall, a woman cannot live on black... Read More
À la Française
A renewed sense of modesty is happening in fashion. Enter it into your vocabulary, as it will be required knowledge in the upcoming season. As I mentioned in a previous post, this new chapter is here to stay. Taking steps toward “glamorous gloom”, with an absence of bright colors, highlighted... Read More
Shoe Wars
On a recent trip to the shoe selection in my closet, I noticed an abundance of brogues, sneakers, and comfy heels– a trend that I don’t see going anywhere anytime soon. All the pointy-toe shoes and boots that I used to covet, have developed claustrophobia, waiting patiently in their storage... Read More
A teenage dream cheat sheet
When asked to do a style spread for teens on the upcoming spring months, I thought how great it would be to borrow from the cool it girl’s closet. Teenagers have the advantage of borrowing from the boys, from the runways, from super high-end designs and mixing it up to... Read More
Statement Necklaces
Is your neckline getting the attention it deserves? With warrior-inspired jewelry catapulting down the Fall runways (The Hunter in me likes), vintage chokers making an elegant comeback and minimalist graphic neck bands turning heads everywhere, neckware is the schizz right now. From oversized collars at Elie Saab and Michael Kors to crystal embellished silver... Read More
One fabulous leather dress
I normally do not post a “Part 2” about anything (way too boring), but I’ve had many requests for a follow-up on my leather story. I was called onto post pictures of myself wearing my leather dress and how to style it correctly. Before I ever started blogging, I took... Read More
