Ring It In

Although Christmas and Hanukkah stress is a very recent memory, we still are knee-deep in the holiday season with New Year’s Eve left to rock out in 2012. Back from my beach vacation safe and sound, yet without an internet connection, this past week of lolling in the sun was nurturing for the soul. Yes it’s hard to get back to work, but before I do, with the New Year around the corner, I have mapped out my party ensemble. This is the time of year where sequins are celebrated, short dresses are welcome, and backless is better. But I am a creature of comfort and I will be wearing what I own and will stick to the pieces that work for me. We as... Read More

Outfit of the Day

It’s cold outside and unless you’re spending the winter living in Death Valley or South of the Border, you will need to wear multiple layers to warm up your bones. And the more layers we add, the more yeti-like we become. It is at this time of year that I stand behind functional dressing. Coats, boots, gloves and all the winter gear that shield us from the elements. We lose almost 90% of bodily heat from our heads, so we throw on the dreaded hat. I have always liked hats, but my static hat hair wins the race every time over shiny manageable locks. But, it’s the holidays, so what’s a girl to do? Today seemed the perfect time to unveil this post to offer... Read More

Gone Skiing

Just kidding. Not hitting the slopes this holiday, but beach-bound instead, turns my thoughts from goggles and snow to sun and sandals. If you are sun-ray bound right about now, its time to pack for warmer climes and there’s no better way  to gather my thoughts than a packing guide. And plus, let’s toast to the fact that we are not likely to get skin cancer anytime soon. Bikinis unite! Collage by Carina Gupta  Matthew Williamson Acid Blue Sarong that will compliment this Mara Hoffman Pow Wow tribal bikini or this yellow Matthew Zink bandeau bikini , which BTW I intend to wear out to dinner not to the beach. A Wendy Mink cut-out gold necklace for evenings out with a blazer, a T-shirt, or just about anything. A... Read More

Is This the End of the World?

Tibi Lurex Jacquard top, Proenza Schouler wrap skirt, Loeffler Randall sandals, Dannijo necklace, holding Thakoon red Crisscross shiny pumps. Get a similar pair here. Depending on who you talk to, the Mayan prophecy foretells that tomorrow, December 21, 2012, the Winter Solstice, will be either the end of the world as we know it, or a once in a lifetime chance to party our butts off. If you’re a believer in the mystical Mayan mumbo-jumbo, I’ll see you on the other side in just a few hours. If not, here’s an end-of-the-world outfit to go out with a B-A-N-G. Everybody should leave this Earth satisfied. If you’re taking my fashion cues, I can tell you that Angelina Jolie’s red carpet thigh-high split skirt is still the schizz.... Read More

The Year In Words

2012 proved that this year flew by as fast as lightning, with trends in and out of its wake with each passing month. However, as we look back on what  was hot and what was not, I can rattle off topics one, two, and three. To name a few pop culture references there was The Hunger Games, Flo Rida, Sh*t__ Say Videos, Twitter, “Let’s take a selfie and put it up on Instagram,” iPhone5, and the never-ending Rihanna and Chris Brown saga. And to the ironic generation, cheers to the humble brag. The biggest fashion trend of 2012 was probably the peplum, following by color blocking, neon bags, and green mint anything. I must admit though, I still hate pink. As far as music goes, the hardest... Read More

By now, with only 7 days left until Santa comes flying down the chimney, I’m sure by this point, you have purchased some fantastic gifts for your friends and family and attended some holiday soireés. Now that you’ve worn all your statement necklaces, what else will glam up an outfit to end 2012? As Diana Vreeland would say, “Why don’t you” bling up your collarbone with a bow tie? That fabulous fete is waiting for your arrival. Knock ’em dead. It’s time to start dancing under the tree and emote some form of holiday spirit! Rachel Comey Mesh Boucle Top, Elizabeth and James leather trousers, Restler bow tie, Dannijo Skylar cuff I love masculine ensembles just as much as polished feminine ones, and I think its time...

Ten Glittery Things

Holiday gifting is mind-numbing. Gift-guides are a way to lure you into buying what their editor’s procure as top-notch. I once received a snazzy shovel from a friend (really, a SHOVEL?) that didn’t speak to me at all. I wondered, does this person really know me (See: gift giving), or is that what she wanted to get so, instead, gave it to me. The psychology of it all is hard to figure out, especially when I say “you don’t have to get me anything, silly, it’s your love that matters!” Here, I blame myself for being the recipient of said shovel. But, as well-known folklore will proclaim, it’s the thought that counts, right? Maybe the gift-giver thought I should start gardening? Shoveling snow? Paving a new path? Does... Read More

High Contrast

Is Art Basel to Miami what Fashion Week is to New York? Saying so would perhaps be an overstatement, but the theory that fashion is art and art is fashion has cleared the gate and made a grand entrance. Having just come back from Basel where fashion and art notoriously collide, the ‘ing’ of Baseling came alive. This season, I saw a bastion of “fashun” showgoers (See: Stella, Diane, Terry, Derek, and Donna) than the typical art crowd. Avant-garde art work and theatrically dressed individuals go hand-in-hand and there were plenty of glitter skirts and gleaming baubles brighter than the sun. Inspired by the hoopla, I too made my sartorial decisions before arriving to each and every event. Opposites attract, therefore polka-dots and stripes never looked so good.... Read More
