Absoleggy Fabulous for Spring
Hashtag #Absoleggy. I just made up my own word. Definition: a term used to describe a person with toned abs and long luscious legs. I am about to drop the bomb on you. The proper lady-like à la 1960’s suburban housewife trend is back in fashion, as you know by... Read More
Foot Stompin’
Among the many manifestos that I have made this past season; most notably wide-leg pants, mixing prints, oversized coats, and over-the-top fur, I have not forgotten about what has been occurring below ankle level. Knee-high boots are more prevalent than booties, the platform shoe is not dead, and we see... Read More
Playing Dress-Up with Pastels
Pastels have resurged back into fashion and designers like Peter Som, Jason Wu, Philip Lim and others flirted with them this Spring. For me, maybe it is the over saturation of blinding neon in the stores, but the refreshing soft blues, pinks, and mint greens – a Ladurée macaron palette... Read More

Weekend update Part 2

A tribute to black
January’s coming to a close leaving us with two more skin covered months to endure, with the winter blues just setting in by now. However, with each passing month we move closer to seeing some signs of life. Finding myself with nothing to wear during these blah months, black is... 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 Intermezzo Collections 2012
This past week I was at the Accessorie Circuit at Piers 92 and 94 in NYC. 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
