The Overlooked Essential

If you polled people on the street about what they thought every woman should have in her closet, you would probably get pretty much the same answer over and over again. Despite the occasional Perfec...

Twinkle Toes

I stepped into the elevator at work the other day, and was suddenly surrounded by all these little reflections on the walls. I almost looked up to see if some prankster had hung a disco ball in the e...

Summer Brights

Self Portrait, in Flats

If you havent noticed by now, Im a shoe girl. I dont know what it is, but I just find shoes fascinating. While clothing changes its shape depending on the wearers body, shoes are perfect little sculp...

Shoe Catalog

I was searching the New York Public Librarys image archive today, and came across these amazing shoe illustrations that I had to share. Theyre all images of shoes from the Nineteenth Century. &n...

Parting Gifts

Heirloom-quality fashion?

A few weeks ago, I went to hear some of the Cooper-Hewitts Annual Design Award Winners speak about their work. Although the Fashion Design Winners, Rodarte, were not on the panel, I couldnt help but ...

Its Fall Again!

I love when the seasons change in New York. It means that I get to rediscover all of my cold weather clothes that were pushed to the back of the closet during the warmer months. While a lot of people...

Thats so Last Century!

The dress this woman is wearing, as she hangs a poster in Greenwich Village, could be a piece in any modern New York girls closet. And the photo was taken in the 1920s. That dress would be almost 100...

Better than a Glass Slipper

I would never peg myself as a crystal-covered evening bag kind of girl, but a few months ago, I found myself surrounded by dozens of Judith Leibers iconic clutches at a photoshoot. We were working on...

Mix and Match

A few years back, my good friend Paige got me into surfing. Dressing for surfing would appear to be very similar to dressing for the beach— you just grab your favorite bikini and go. However, when yo...

Do you take these shoes?

My good friend Lindsey got married last weekend. And when a good friend gets married, its customary to offer ones help. If youre a baker, you make a cake. If you have a nice voice, you sing. So, bein...

Frowny Face

I pulled my sunglasses out the other day, and this is what I found. So sad! I cant believe theyre broken. Ive had them for at least five Summers, which is probably the all-time longevity record for C...

Shorts!

The last time I wore shorts for something other than a workout was back when cargo shorts and flannels were popular. Which is why I found it completely surprising that I not only tried on a pair of s...

Off the Wagon . . .

So youre thinking, hmmm, Ive never seen those shoes before . . . Wait. Did she? Is the Shoe Diet over? . . . But why would she crack over a simple pair of satin peep-toes?! I though she was stronger ...

Made in Norway?

Shopping in other countries is hard when you live in New York City. Many times, Ive come back from a trip with an item I thought was something I could only get overseas, and soon thereafter I find it...

Leaving on a Jet Plane

I have to admit, I really like the process of packing for a trip. Its always a real puzzle. This sweater or that sweater? What shoes go with everything and are also comfortable? Could I wear this jac...

So, I actually DID shoot most of my work outfits the other week, per my friend Rebecca's request. (I bet you all thought I flaked out!) And actually, I'm kind of glad I was too busy to go through all...

If you don't look good, we don't look good.

The Ol' Switcheroo

I am crazy for Proenza Schouler's shoes and their most recent Spring/Summer collection had me drooling as usual. After seeing photos of the show online, I emailed the label directly to find out if th...

Sticking to my guns . . . sort of . . .

A few weeks ago, I was perusing my favorite online shopping sites while eating lunch at my desk. I know I'm on a Shoe Diet, but it can't hurt to look, right? It had been almost 4 months since I bough...

It's beautiful and I want it.

Good thing I didn't log onto Gilt Groupe's sale earlier in the day yesterday, because I would have seen this Alexander McQueen leather corset. I know it sounds insane, but I might have actually thoug...
