So far in my ongoing blogging chronicle I haven’t made it too explicitly clear what my definition of festivity is. Festivity has been a fairy abstract idea for me the few times I’ve tried...
I was wonking around on facebook recently and found this written in the event description for the ”Shut Down Monsanto!” movement. Whatever your views are, I thought this blurb was too ama...
Colored and printed denim is the standard now, ladies, and it’s only increasing in presence across the market. For those not opposed to straying from the more traditional blue jean, it’s time to figu...

I earned a gold medal on my girl scout uniform today for defeating the vicious urge to buy yardage of every trim below. I then had a thorough and informative consultation session with my ultimate fa...
To follow up on my festive dressing 101 post, here’s some runway-born inspiration that will leave you wanting more Bombay, more expensive sandals, more harem pants and long embellished robes in...
Sorry ya’ll, this is an entirely material-driven (though affection-propelled) post about a few beautiful things my better half got me for Christmas. I haven’t really had the time to post ...
It’s not hard to be festive when it’s cold out, thanks to chilly air demanding layers of luxe fabric and furs (faux furs if you like). You can go with brocades, velvets, satins, and even ...

Wrote up this post for Denim Therapy today: three outfits that allow one to break the “no white after labor day” rule and layer up for some frosty white winter style. 1. Marc by Marc Jaco...
If you’re feeling moody & prone to drinking too much wine tonight, don’t listen to this. I warned you. ♪ (Yes, I’ve been on a relentless Morrissey kick since my last post, tha...
I read an incredible New Year’s toast and I thought it was worth sharing with you: “My New Year’s Eve Toast: to all the devils, lusts, passions, greeds, envies, loves, hates, strang...

I fell hard for this knitwear x denim editorial in Vogue Paris November, featuring the unrivaled Sasha Pivovarova and (a slightly less stellar) Natasha Poly (sorry ya’ll, she just doesn’t...
Reporting from Brooklyn in the least snow-full winter I remember in my whole life. Alas, we must not be sad that we’re not snowed in. Christmas has been in full swing for weeks! First of all, w...
Good morning! I promise I’ll make a real post soon, but things have been festively hectic and I’ve hardly had time to upload anything. For now, here’s a photo of my morning hot coco...

The holiday party season is in full swing, and taking part in a plethora of organizations, social circles, and professional endeavors means a whole lot’a merry when this time of year comes arou...
I live in Greenpoint, Brooklyn (proudly—it’s where my Ma grew up!), which once housed one of the country’s largest Irish populations, and the Irish-American side of my family who li...
Denim Therapy did an event with Vanity Fair at Bloomingdale‘s on Thursday evening, to celebrate the the holidays and kick off the season of winter shopping. We did on-site free hems for anyone ...
Perfect. Holiday. Party. Dresses. I’ve been musing over this lately. What dress will I wear on NYE? To the Xmas party I’m throwing on the 18th? To the Bulgarian Xmas bonanza I’m org...
Busy week of nasty pseudo-fall, trying-to-be-winter-but-not-qu ite-hacking-it weather. Here are some photos I snapped while running errands around Brooklyn two weeks ago, when the weather was nicer. L...
