What do Cinderella, The Wizard of Oz and Carrie Bradshaw all have in common? (drum roll, please) FABULOUS SHOES! As any girl with a footwear fetish will attest. If you grew up coveting Dorothy’s Ruby Red Slippers and relish your archived SATC episodes for Manolo/Choo appearances, then heads up ladies, there’s a new cobbler in <... >

I’ve always been a sucker for anything natural. Whole Foods Market opens in Union Square, first one in the door. Tossed the Colgate a long time ago in favor of Tom4s of Maine, even tried one of those crystal deodorants once (didn4t work, felt like I was in Woodstock, circa 1969), so you can image <... >

If you’re a bona fide “‘Girl About Town”, as is yours truly, then you treat the divine Henri Bendel, as a temple, a mecca at which you regularly pay homage to the Gods of Fine Shopping. I stopped going to places of conventional worship long ago, but my true religion is my allegiance to all <... >

I had passed by the studio many-a-time, always wondering what type of new-age exercise was being practiced behind the glass doors. With yoga and pilates becoming increasingly popular, surely this could be the next big exercise trend, and as a self-proclaimed fitness trailblazer (and proud owner of many exercise tapes that promised to change my <... >

Ever dreamed of what it would be like to have been born a Trump or a Hilton and have the very best of everything at your fingertips? Whenever I grimace at the thought of the upcoming swim suit season or get exasperated over a pimple that just won’t quit, I often wish I had an <... >

You have three days left before Valentine’s Day! Have you gotten your gift yet? Here’s a gift that I’d like to bestow to many men in Manhattan; the name of a good tailor. Why am I saying this?

Last night I went to the opening of a new spa in Gramercy Park. The Olive Leaf Wholeness Center and Spa is a two level holistic spa.
