The Mule Game

06 Jan 2014

Womp, womp. Whap, whap. Clack, clack. Familiar sounds? Yes, it the sound dub step music makes. It is a sound of loss heard on a game show. It is, according to Urban Dictionary, something that is completely not up to regular standards. A succession of clicks. An annoying gum chewer. All above answers are correct, and in the name game of high fashion, it is also the sound a mule makes when walking, or traipsing across a room. So the larger question is, will you play it? I hate mules and no matter how many I have owned over the years, have never liked them. In fact, few accessories, been as maligned over the past decade or so as the mule. Carine Roitfeld hates them too, but let’s... Read More

I am going to consume under 500 calories a day. No more wine. No new designer shoes in the year 2014. In fact no shoes the entire year. I will climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. I am going to finish two books a week. Sound familiar? I hate New Year’s resolutions. We flip the page to 2014 and vow to jump on the proverbial treadmill. For the majority of us, making this mighty ambitious goal, is an empty promise to oneself  and just end up deflated and out of air. At the risk of being pedantic, a resolution is finding a solution, meaning you are solving a problem, with the prefix ‘re,’ which usually means again. We strive to solve a problem again and again and again.... Read More

The Only Thing That is Constant Is Change

2013 was about meeting new friends, finding new ways to get a good night’s sleep, learning how to twerk, and conquering old dysfunctional tasks. I predict that 2014 will be about venturing into unchartered territory. Change is always good, stagnation is not, but we have to let ourselves accept the challenges and dive into the fear of the unknown, without looking back. Here’s to dancing into 2014 and sharing exciting new things to come! Happy New Year!@!! alexander mcqueen lace dress, get a similar one here and here  // valentino rockstud sandals

Packing for a trip is never an easy task. Packing for a sunny climes is simple: throw on a few bikinis, jumpsuits, flip flops, sunscreen, caftans, some bling, and a hat or two for frolicking on the beach and you’re good to go. Alternately, packing for a ski vacation is rough. The alpine slopes are hovering at a high of 35 degrees during the day with a low of 15 degrees in the evenings. Factor in the wind, the mountains, yeah, it’s freakin’ freezing. Layers and layers of down-filled thermo-packed insulated crap weighs a lot more than the allotted 50 pounds, thank you, and there’s so much stuff to pack, it’s insane. I may never be Lindsey Vonn, but nevertheless, I love hitting the slopes, armed... Read More

The Golden Hour

Because it’s Monday, and here we are back again at the only time of year where it’s acceptable to gorge on pork, dairy products, and peppermint-sprinkled sugar cookies for three weeks straight. We are also required to drink anything other than clear liquor, and generally act like a fat ass under the guise that it’s “The Holiday Season.” These holiday commitments that will require me to make appearances at a few more parties this coming week and into New Year’s Eve are exhausting and frankly, I’m tired of all of the wardrobe changes that I have undertaken. I might have asked you to do your homework and stalk a few street style blogs for ideas, but now I lack the actual hours to ask you to log... Read More

On the Sixth Day of Christmas

In yesterday’s Business section of The New York Times in an article titled First on the list, A Blank, I was struck by the lack of the must-have item to close out 2013. Perhaps it’s a marketing miss or overall consumer apathy. Last year’s trends, those UGG boots I keep telling you not to get, candy-colored jeans, and tops with that billowy fabric attached to the arms, are just that, last year’s trends. And while you wouldn’t be caught dead in them, you wouldn’t want to – gasp! – gift them either. Some even suggest that the ubiquity of gift and fashion showcases on the Internet makes it difficult for one item to shine. Today’s trends tend to zip out on a 140-character tweet, a filtered Instagram picture, or even...

Fringe Benefits

My style icon, Phoebe Philo, makes herself very clear about the importance of minimalism, and in the name of fashion, adopting the French attitude that less is more. But just when I’ve gotten the hang of never taking off my ripped denim, waking up at the crack of dawn for Isabel Marant, trying to look like Emmanuelle Alt and her impossible possé, –surprise! — fashion takes a page from the book of maximalism. Céline took a dive into embellishments, and not one to play follow the leader, Calvin Klein, the king of a sleek aesthetic, followed suit. With fringe. Fun and frivolous, flapper tested and cowgirl approved, fringe will be twisting on the streets as soon as you start begging, “is Spring here yet?” It’s really on the fringe, a neat way to say...

In the instance that you haven’t started your holiday shopping yet, there are ten days left to get your sh*t together, get those notes to Santa as to what you really want, not just what you might want or what you think somebody would like to get you. As we all know, its better to give than to receive…did you donate your coats eh?, and it’s always nice to show the person you love that you really care. Your BFF. Who has everything. Who needs nothing. You know them backwards and forwards, inside and out. And that means, you need to put your thinking cap on, because Santa isn’t doing the dirty work for you. Today on the Fashion Hunter, I made the list, and... Read More
