Beyoncé sent shock waves across the music industry and internet by releasing her fifth solo album, by surprise, on iTunes. Along with 14 new songs, the visual album includes 17 music videos that were recorded and shot in Bey’s hometown of Houston, in her Tribeca apartment in New York, in the Hamptons, in Sydney and on the beach in Rio de Janeiro. Queen Bey had called for operation “TNO” — “Tell No One” — which was strictly followed by the crews, directors, makeup and wardrobe people whom the singer worked with for the past year and a half on the project. While on her “Mrs. Carter World Tour,” and oh, giving birth and raising 2-year-old daughter Blue Ivy, Beyoncé was hard at work behind the scenes with... Read More

Keeping Warm, Staying Cool

Since it’s been so effin’ cold of late, all I’ve been doing is scrolling through street style blogs, attempting to make bummer bars and puppy chow, and wrapping gifts for the impending holiday. Although the editorials tell us to drape our winter coats over our shoulders to be oh-so-chic for communicating that perfect layering prowess, you can flush that trend right down the proverbial toilet when the temperatures start to dip down into subterranean numbers. But in case you didn’t get the memo, our bodies are demanding more coverage via warm coats, our skin needs more moisturizing, and we want to eat everything in sight. So what’s a girl to do to survive the winter doldrums? Layering is the name of the game, for sure.... Read More

The Bees Knees

As a proud member of the 5’ can-you-reach-that-shelf-for-me-club, I’ve been on the hunt for the ideal over-the-knee boots. These boots, as a community, have a reputation for fitting and hanging better on those who are tall. But that didn’t deter me from finding love in what was the Chanel runway in Paris from Fall and still dreaming about how I can extend my tibia a few inches longer to get that Je ne sai quoi that is Chanel. Chanel Fall 2013 image style.com But I digress. It is hardly surprising that I fell in love. Pucci in a similar fashion also turned heads with their suede version of the boot and both designers proved that killer boots can be practical, classy, and versatile. Take a look below:... Read More

  chloé white twill classic pea coat, $998. // dolce & gabbana crystal embellished tweed ballet flat, $419. Today is a snow day for me. My kids have off from school and the only thing I want to do is make hot cocoa, listen to some tunes, read, scour the internet for great sales, and chill out. The good thing about working from home is that I get to lounge around in my pajamas all day if I feel like it, and the fact that I had a lot of busy work to do today, is forcing me to stay home. Working obviously includes procuring some of the best of the net for your viewing pleasure. And whether you spend money or not, hello coats!,... Read More

Get the Holiday Spirit

Velvet ropes are tough. Consider the scenario: you plan your outfit, get dressed, sit in traffic, meet up with friends, pay for parking, wait in line, get carded by a bouncer, to then get rejected at the door because you aren’t on the list. Bummer. Everybody wants in, and wants to be part of the fun. Even if you beg and plead, it’s not meant to be. And it’s a terrible pill of rejection to swallow. Maybe they don’t like your outfit? What about the shoes that you just got? And the jewelry that is so delicate that shows off your sparkle? Maybe the party is being held at a small venue that cannot accommodate all the riffraff (even though you know, you’re not part... Read More

Art Basel Miami Beach kicks off this week just in time to enjoy all the art, the pop-up events, gallery exhibitions, and for us New Yorkers, a chance to unwind from the stresses of the impending holidays. Think of it as your getaway car. If you happen to be descending on Miami Beach this week, be prepared to “Do the Basel,” which will take you from the Art District to the Soho Beach Hotel, to the Dutch, and possibly to the thousands of happenings all over town as long as your heels aren’t too high.  There will be over 260 galleries and over 50,000 visitors that will flood the state, and it just keeps getting bigger.  In other words, there’s no sleeping. Art Basel 2013... Read More
