Weekend Wears
I love to make lists. By checking off various tasks on my to-do lists, by end of day, I feel a sense of accomplishment. And if don’t cross it off, the task moves to the following day till it’s completed. It’s a trick I learned in college and stayed with me throughout... Read More
Get Me off the Wait List
There are a few things right now that I would like to call my own. One of them is the new Net-A-Porter mobile app that is an invitation only mobile site. The app called the “The Netbook,” is based on the idea of a diary, a metaphor for the physical... Read More
Slip-Ons
Remember when the wedge sneaker reigned supreme? I sure do, that was only 6 months ago. It-girls world-wide wore the Isabel Marant sneakers and they became the latest ‘thing’?

Her existing line, consisting of cool sportswear, metal cuffs, widely copied totes, and funky shoes proves that she has good instincts–a... Read More
Céline Resort
I have been admiring Phoebe Philo’s last few seasons as designer at Céline and this Resort Collection is blowing my mind. A long time Céline fan, Philo has mainstreamed her collection into a highly-edited, sophisticated, and lust-worthy signature line. Her accessories have become the status symbol—-the Luggage tote is on... Read More
Beach Days Part II
A derivative of my original Beach Days post a few weeks ago, the sun is out, at last. Hitting a high of 70 degrees today, and a possible 79 over the weekend, Memorial Day weekend is a mere 8 days away. Are you beach-ready? Bikini, check. Sunglasses, check. Sandals, check. Beach tote,... Read More
