What decade could you get away with wearing baggy MC Hammer pants one day and skin-tight leather ones the next? How about Members Only jackets, leg warmers and larger-than-life shoulder pads? You guessed it, The Aughts. Making a slight comeback on the scene for Spring, the no-no notorious 80’s seen... Read More
A Blazer To Wear Now
Fashion month is over. Le sigh. Two weeks into March, according to reliable meteorological sources (that beloved groundhog Phil), Spring is lurking around the corner somewhere. Which, to most people, is a relief. But the shedding of winter’s extra layers isn’t always a smooth transition. In fact, the vernal season... Read More
Neo Grunge
Take a trip down memory lane to 1995. I was just at the age when going out to clubs was super cool (with a fake ID of course), and the Grunge scene was making its way into pop culture. The music, a blend of part punk, part heavy metal, and... Read More
Winter Blues
New Yorkers like to complain. I know because I am one of them. Either it’s too cold, too hot, or never enough cabbies to go around. Yesterday was so frigid, I asked on Twitter why frostbite was not trending. And there it was. Hashtag #fingerswithfrostbite. Those texting gloves really don’t... Read More

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... Read More
On Sale!
If there is one time of year, you can stay in your PJ’s and be as lazy as sin, it’s today. Perfect to nurse your post-Thanksgiving pumpkin pie hangover, it’s the best way to fight against reality, avoid all human contact, and hunker down.

Weekend update Part 2
I missed the first few shows I was supposed to go on Saturday– it was snowing, albeit lightly, but sometimes familial duty calls. I was lucky to get to three shows which were each fabulous in their own right. Here’s my fashion roundup. First up, I went to see Herve... Read More
