Fancy Feet
It’s about time I whipped these babies out of their box. I couldn’t find a better moment than today, a beautiful late-January afternoon to release the caped fur ball from hiding. The shadows paired with the light signaled a chance for them to strut their obligatory stuff. And a little... Read More
Mid-winter pick-me-up
Reality check, it’s Mid-January. Almost tax time, not quite Valentine’s Day, no snow, but you still need to keep warm. Although the weather is as fickle as the stock market these days, it is always better to be prepared. On a dreary grey day like this, all I really want to do... Read More
Get mesmerized
If you have been paying attention to fashion lately, you might have noticed all the trippy psychedelic videos that have been appearing on your screen. No, nobody spiked your Koolaid. Its just a phantasmagoric moment in fashion videography meant to hypnotize us fashion zombies into it wanting (needing) all of the latest... Read More
Looking towards the future
Fashion is one endless cycle. Constantly regurgitating the trends and naming it THE DECADE OF ____ and then debunking it as a Multi-decade Mashup is kind of screwed up. Fashion is in a quandary. Never before have we been able to wear 60’s grunge, 70’s funk, and 80’s ostentation all... Read More
The Headband
The other night I tuned into the Golden Globe awards and as usual, all the celebrities in attendance were dressed to the nines. Head-to-toe in designer frocks, jewels and, of course, hair styles that were to die for, the stars showed up at this annual glam fest in the latest... Read More

Accessorie Circuit is a huge trade show with hundreds of exhibitors that draws buyers, editors, manufacturers, brands, and fashion bloggers (like me) from all over the country. Future trends, colors, mediums, and fresh... Read More
On a shoestring
Need a mid-week pick-me-up? Raise your hand. Well if you did, I can’t see it, but maybe soon I will be able to. Come Wednesday, I know I’m ready to do the happy dance. Especially when I see a pair of fabulous heels. I don’t know if you had a... Read More
London calling
I have an Anglophilic bug right now, actually more like Royal Fever. I just returned from the UK for the the long holiday between Christmas and New Year’s and am a little obsessed over everything British. That includes the coolest designers Alexander McQueen, Paul Smith, Joh Galliano, Vivienne Westwood, Stella... Read More
A new start for 2012
Happy New Year! Did you make a resolution yet? I did. I revisited last year’s resolutions, and while I cannot rewrite what was written in the books, I can rethink how to make a new chapter, and make this a great year. My New Year’s resolutions for the forthcoming year... Read More
Happy Holidays from my Inbox to Yours
As I write this, I am burning the midnight oil and packing for my trip to London. Cheerio! I am looking ahead to the week after Christmas, after all the gifts are unwrapped, Christmas trees laying on the curbside, Hanukah candles melted down, and relatives from near and far having... Read More
