My friend Chris is brilliant. Seriously, he is one of the greatest people that I know. I wrote about him here and shared the video I made for him when I couldn’t make it to his birthday celebra...
Right. So having recently seen the first trailer for the new adaptation of The Great Gatsby, it is blindingly obvious that we are going to spend at least the next 12 months in full-on 1920s hysteria....
There are a couple of things I should preface this post with: 1. It is still about 5 weeks until my birthday but I thought I might as well give a heads up to anyone keen on spoiling me for my birthda...
It was probably with the help of my being a student at Parsons (the birthplace of a fair few of the nominees) and a brilliant reality show about the selection of winners, but this year I was really i...
You have to assume that when Karl Lagerfeld invites you to a hybrid garden party and fashion show on the grounds of Versailles, it will be a rather opulent affair. The Palace itself is the poster chi...
Forgive me readers for I have sinned. It has been 12 days since my last post. And I feel really bad about that but LOOK, HERE I AM :) It has been a whirlwind couple of weeks but I am happy to report ...
I fully understand that my ears always perk up when there is the mention of Hello Kitty. I can’t explain it. There was a Sanrio store at my local mall growing up which I seriously had giddy chi...
If there is anything I really embrace about myself it is that I try to be as open as possible to different cultures, thought processes, creative endeavors and some such. But every now and then I am c...
A year ago this past weekend, I left my job of nearly 3 years, packed for a two month break back at my parents home in the States, watched the Royal Wedding and had no idea that my life was about to ...
Back in the fall, I had the pleasure of spending some time with a dear friend of mine and a bunch of his work buddies who were over from London shooting a commercial. I have a whole post written abou...
It is no secret that Rebecca Minkoff is on her way up. Her show at the most recent New York Fashion Week was a total spectacle (you can read about it here) and reviews for her collections have been ...
I love the dark appeal of skulls in fashion and art. It may not be revolutionary but if Alexander McQueen can maintain on such morbid details, there is hope that it remains ‘cool’. Ther...
Yeah, I know what I said. And I meant to say it. In the New York Times Style Magazine this weekend, there was a wonderful feature about the Brooklyn home of Ramdane Touhami and Victoire de Taillac w...
I once wrote a paper about the power and beauty of popular music. Under the influence of some resentment about studying music, I hit out at the notion of classical music being the only academically ...
There are a couple of ways I could have taken the email that my brother, the badass sibling in this situation, sent me announcing that he was the newly appointed ‘fashion editor’ for the ...
For the first time in 8 years, I got to spend Easter at home with my family and, it has to be said, I had forgotten how much I love this holiday. Not because of any religious connotation…that&...
Marc Jacobs vs. Topshop. A lovely way to bring a little bit of designer influence to the masses or a cheap copycat move? Marc by Marc Jacobs Topshop
With quite a good deal of time off between semesters during the holidays, I had the pleasure of being able to reflect on my life a little and start working on a new plan for what my future may hold n...
I came across this picture the other day and immediately fell in love with the shoes. They have just the right amount of sparkle but are a great mix of youthful and classy. But as I tend to do when...
While catching up on one of my favorite blogs, Style Bubble, I was really struck by one post that featured the delight of great things that come in small packages. One of the highlights of the post ...
Just when I’m getting a little bored with what she is offering, Kate Spade always seems to sneak one little piece that makes me squeal with delight. I present to you the ‘I Kissed A Frog...
From the moment I arrived in San Miguel, I was fascinated by artwork that made use of small silver charms depicting hearts, faces, legs, arms, elements from nature…the list seems endless. On m...
There are a few more posts to come about what I got up to in San Miguel. Cultural experiences, a visit with an incredible artist and when I pretended I was a chef. But I got reports back from my pa...
I have to admit that one of the things I was most excited about when I found out I was going to Mexico was the fact that, as far as I am concerned, margaritas are a national treasure. Also, I like t...
San Miguel is, in itself, a work of art. The colors, the architecture, the people, the music…it is a beautiful place. It does help that the city is home to two of the greatest art schools in ...
After taking a self-imposed week off writing to properly take a break coupled with having a week so full of adventure and enjoyment, I’m finding this post difficult to write and have no idea wh...
Listen up, ladies and gents. I love all of you. I love writing for you. I love hearing from you. Full. On. Love. That being said…it’s not you, it’s me. I am right in the middle...
Last week, I put up a post about my childhood home (and my parents!) being featured in a new book about old homes across America. While I was wandering around the house snapping pictures of all the ...
