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 <... >

You’re looking for a special gift for someone (or a special way to treat yourself), but you’re wondering what to give the New Yorker who has everything? You call them a lucky bastard and curse them for their good fortune (I’m only kidding…a little).Instead, make their dream day a wish come true. Is it water <... >

What is it about New York City in late summer that seems to attract hordes of both foreign and domestic tourists like bees to a honey-pot? Is it the stifling heat on the street that chokes you the moment you step out, or is it rather that certain Arctic chill favored by larger upscale department <... >

Are you of the school that it’s all been done before? Seen this, worn that, big snooze, huge bore. Then you certainly haven’t grabbed a load’a designer EMRE ERTURK’s for-sure-couture handbags (emreny.com). Oh yeah, uh-huh, that’s right – Emre is kicking up his well-heeled heels and tromping formerly-known boundaries of the fashionista scene with his <... >

Are your manners lost in the dark ages? In the days when dinosaurs pounded the streets of Gotham, how you behaved towards your fellow cavepeople wasn’t too much the issue. You needed strength, and perhaps a bit of cro-mag sex appeal to perpetrate the species. Not much else was available so nobody really would have <... >

Fall 2007 Bottega Veneta Runway I think it’s safe to say we are officially smack dab in the middle of what’s called “the dog days of summer.” With temperatures climbing into the near triple digits, the cool, crisp days of fall are far from our minds. Tell that to the fashion mags, which are currently <... >

I know you’re thinking, “The sun is shining, its 90 degrees in the shade and wearing anything but sandals is not an option”. At this exact moment, that is all true. But summer won’t last forever (as much as we all want it to), so it’s time to start thinking about your fall shoe wardrobe. <... >

JULIE DELPY’S “2 DAYS IN PARIS” is bar none one of the funniest flicks I’ve ever seen. Instantly enticing my erudition, seducing my inner-Ebert, romancing my writerly soul with side-splitting, savage humor and winning me over with her bold brand of graceful storytelling. Delpy’s most impressive virtuoso, tour-de-force film, nay cinematic experience… rubber-stamped as a <... >

Well-manicured tootsies are a summer necessity and luckily for most New Yorkers, a bi-weekly pedicure isn’t going to break the bank. What will, however, is that cute pair of peep-toe Manolo’s you’ve been eyeing at Bergdorf’s for the past month and a half. Have no fear ladies, New York’s popular nail spa, Dashing Diva, is <... >

How many times have you been going through your daily schedule and thought, hmmm wow, I’d love a delicious oatmeal raisin cookie right about now? Or a gooey brownie? Every now and then a girl needs some sugar and what more could they ask for, having in brought right to you!? The Treat Truck is <... >

We could all learn a thing or two from Jane Austen – especially when it comes to the art of playing hard-to-get and choosing suitors. By reading (or watching) the works of the one of the most respected novelists in English literature, one thing was made clear to me. The art of seduction is eternal, <... >

You’re on your way to a ball game and have no time to stop but you’re stomach is growling! You’re enjoying a lovely day in the park, but oh darn, you were too lazy to bring snacks to eat! No fear, nothing a stop at Peanut Butter & Co. can’t fix! In addition to their <... >

Dogs playing in the park, chasing balls, chasing each other, and wagging their tails make us smile. However, it’s inconceivable that any sane person can watch dogs hurting each other and consider it entertainment. Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick has been indicted on federal charges for participating in the dreadful pursuit of dog fighting. He <... >

We’ve all been there. The tearful goodbye, staring at the phone hoping it will ring, the angst of temptation to send a meaningful text, long lonely walks in the rain filled with heart-wrenching reflections upon the blissful times when the two of you were together and all was right in the universe. Then something happens <... >

With summer well under way and temperatures continuing to climb relentlessly, leaving even the most determined fashionista looking and feeling somewhat frazzled, many New Yorkers begin to long for the well-deserved serenity that is vacation.
