Silver Streaks
Many designers as well as some Olympiads have dipped into gold, as you saw from my Olympic post last week, but steely silver doesn’t have to take a back seat. A silver metal isn’t any worse than a gold in my book, as it shines, glimmers, and it plays the same reflecting... Read More
The Gold Medal
On Day 12, we are more than halfway through the Olympic Games, but the excitement is not waning. With Thunder Thighs, (Those thighs, btw are trending right now) Gymnastics, Beach Volleyball, and Track and Field fever reaching an all-time high, the Wow Factor for me, and maybe for you too,...

Lighten Up
If the summer months are to teach me anything it is most definitely that delicate fine jewelry outweighs chunky chunkers by a landslide. Part of the reasoning is as follows: Numero Uno : jewelry with massive stones (think in pounds) and chunky cuffs can be very heavy and nobody wants to... Read More
Ring Ding
Yesterday I got an email from a desperate friend asking where she can get some awesome black caged knuckle rings she saw in a magazine. Willing to hunt for anything, as the Fashion Hunter does, I did my obligatory investigating. I found the ring and she was thrilled that it cost... Read More

From Memorial Day (which is quickly approaching) to Labor Day, I try to jam-pack everything warm-weather related into a few very short weeks. I remember when I was in high school and thought that summer lasted forever. I even bought a tee-shirt that said “Forever Summer.” But reality bites, it... 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
A teenage dream cheat sheet
When asked to do a style spread for teens on the upcoming spring months, I thought how great it would be to borrow from the cool it girl’s closet. Teenagers have the advantage of borrowing from the boys, from the runways, from super high-end designs and mixing it up to... Read More
London calling
I have an Anglophilic bug right now, actually more like Royal Fever. I just returned from the UK for the the long holiday between Christmas and New Year’s and am a little obsessed over everything British. That includes the coolest designers Alexander McQueen, Paul Smith, Joh Galliano, Vivienne Westwood, Stella... Read More
