MOVING!

Currently trying to recover all my lost articles (!) – but kind of tingly with excitement over starting anew-ish! I attribute this newfound positivity to my adventures into raw foodism & da...

the importance of a woman’s hair

Two things can make a woman look good in a snap regardless of how disheveled or rushed she is for some last-minute (or, God, forbid, a forgotten) appointment. 1. Great hair, or… 2. A great bag....

patricia fields asks: what style story do you want to tell today?

I love her. Her eccentricity, her philosophy, her belief and investment in fashion democracy. Her style aesthetic may not align with my own, but I have nothing but utmost respect for her unique creat...

the demise of hips & a love affair with a swedish retailer

Part II of the H&M fitting room confessional series, because I’m having a love affair with the Swedish retailer at the moment. As is my wallet. And when the both of us are happy, well, it&#...

bag whore | ralph lauren collection hand-sewn clutch

I saw this Ralph Lauren Collection Hand-Sewn Clutch on Bag Snob and kind of teared up. No, not kidding (but I totally am. I only cry over Disney films if you must know). I did swoon though, just to s...

stephanie johnson friends & family sale!

I’m all about smart shopping. Save more, buy more. A totally twisted philosophy I was bred on, and will now try to impose upon you. It’s all rationalization, really. Do you need it? Or do...

je suis excité! (we’re talking about versace, here)

I rarely get excited over collaborations or capsule collections of any sort. One, I can’t be bothered most of the time, and two, they’re brilliant marketing ploys I refuse to get sucked i...

was it my name you mentioned?

First that, now this. I think Kate Spade’s advertising and creative directors are reading my thoughts all too well… . . . bises xx {image via}

i was lying when i said love at first sight didn’t exist

I don’t usually post photos for a few reasons: (1) I’m not particularly photogenic, (2) I feel a bit vain if I’m posing unless I’m with friends or actually at an event, (3) I ...

Set in Cambodia’s Siem Reap province, saturated in greens and rich with olives, a wistful, barefoot Angelina Jolie sits afloat a wooden boat overlooking the lakeside landscape. Pale skin and da...

reading is sexy

It’s obvious I love my public library. Maybe too much, since I make at least two visits a week. Barnes & Noble trips rivaling my library rendez-vous became far too expensive (it’s the...

sensory saturdays

Entitled to alliteration because of my love affair with words and literature. But essentially an umbrella for all things observed, noticed and loved maintenant. There’s nothing like overusing d...

dkny resort 2012

Besides Chanel, DKNY was the only other Resort 2012 collection that struck a chord with me. It’s a bit more androgynous for my personal liking, but the presentation and styling were done perfec...

chanel resort 2012

By now it’s hardly a secret that I’m a Francophile. A caffeine addicted, Jean Shrimpton and Lagerfeld-worshipping Francophile. My heart palpitates at the sight of little sweaters, fitted ...

kimberly taylor spring 2011 sample sale

By now you all probably know how I adore Kimberly Taylor – I was so lucky to have been able to interview her for my last stint interning for PLASTER magazine just as she was becoming the fashio...

macaron mondays | kitschy notebooks

I have a penchant for little journals and notebooks I can easily toss into my handbag du jour. I’m always scribbling something down (Post-It’s or otherwise, thus a need to get organized) ...

dear abc | how to mend a broken heart

Dear Kimberly/Kim/ABC, I debated sending you this e-mail for a month or so now. I hope you don’t think this is weird, because it might be crossing some line, but I don’t know – I fe...

Happy birthday to the one and only Marilyn Monroe! The iconic of bombshells, the hourglass of hourglass curves, the coquettes of coquettes who embraced both her sexuality and was never for one moment...

“i’m not a foodie. i’m a fattie.”

I wish I could call myself a foodie. But alas, I’m not; a while back I tweeted: “I’m not a foodie, I’m a fattie. Wise words of my food soulmate, @NicoleDarmanin. Couldn’...

i’m still alive, meaning i can dish about this bergdorf’s event i attended

So I’m still alive. And so are you. Giving me another day to enjoy my nightly Nutella-slathered sliced bread, another x amount of days to work up enough bones to pay for a box of Ladurée macaro...

since the world’s ending today, i’ll buy myself a new pair of shoes.

Might as well look good those last 24 hours or so, non? It would be cruel and unusual punishment to let me shrivel in the confines of my home, thus rendering it justifiable to shell out the plastic c...

i love wildfox | an ode, or something of the sort

I love words. The look of them. The taste of them. The sound of them. I love cheeky. Raunchy, even. In the classiest way, of course. Therefore it comes at no surprise that I adore kitschy little grap...

FOTN | face of the night

… because I come alive in the nighttime. This is my visage, snapped with the ever high-quality Photobooth. Shoddy, but you get the idea. By standards of logic, the commutative property and all ...

sensory saturdays

A compilation of observations, reflections, and miscellaneous things, organized haphazardly (ah, the beauty of oxymorons). The only thing these thoughts share is their title. Here’s to allitera...

inside every woman’s heart is a girl who dreams of a prince charming…

It doesn’t help that the past few generations of girls have been bred on Disney films about princesses who are swept away off their feet by some Prince Charming, complete with an ensemble of ch...

“i’ve always liked playboy; i think it’s very tasteful.” – trishelle cannatella

It’s debatable. But perhaps no longer – Marchesa has designed its own rendition of the classic, Playboy bunny costume in celebration of the opening of the new Playboy Club on June 4. The ...

happy easter!

Such an oldie, but a goodie regardless. I love an editorial that tells a story, explicit or implicit (after all, every article of clothing, one a certain woman, in a certain place is a story in itsel...

the stylist’s notebook | what to lounge around in

More often than you think do I get an e-mail with that title as the subject line. It’s an entirely serious question, regardless of how bizarre the inquiry may seem – and thus deserving of...
