It’s a very pleasant – and terribly chic – revision <... >

In many ways, the Flaunt Magazine/Carlos Campos After-Party confirmed all the usual Fashion Week stereotypes. There was free booze. There was thumping electro-punk. There were cigarettes.

I was reading Ovid today. I realize this is not a sentence you hear everyday but Knowledge is power, and sharing it – mannerly! Ovid was a ancient Roman poet/writer who gave us “The Art of Love”, a roman-era cosmo guide for the lovelorn. Love was quite different in those days! You would think it <... >

It was until just last year that lingerie was snubbed when it came to the world of award shows. I’m not sure why when Jessica Simpson is dropping self-confessed G’s on LePerla and pole dancing has become the next work-out for stay-at-home moms, this industry is thriving more than ever. And so it goes– the <... >

I was at the Comic Strip Live last night, not laughing (more like in a state of perpetual mental slack-jaw) as this “comic” (quote-fingers = read: unfunny) proudly recounted a rueful tale of his un-Batman, un-valorous subway un-etiquette. Sitting cockily in his cozy train seat, he observes an old woman strap-hanging for dear life. The <... >

Ahhhhh, fall. Is there a more glorious time in the fashion world? Fall means the unveiling of brand-new trends for the coming year, the ability to throw on a tent-like sweater and long pants on those “I feel bloated and I haven’t shaved” days, and, best of all…the mammoth-sized September Vogue that we fashion gals <... >

Summertime, time, time, and the livin’s easy. Well, summer’s also almost over, so quit drinking SoCo on the rocks and pretending you’re Janis Joplin. It’s time to savor the end of summer. Labor Day is in a mere 17 days away. We don’t have a lot of time, so I’m going to break it down <... >

My clothes and shoes are like my children. I treat them with the best of care, so if they need mending I only trust the best to work on them. Would you take your Manolos or Choos to just any shoe repair shop? That pair of extra long $200.00 jeans can’t be hemmed by any <... >
