Obsessed with Stan
If my recent laid-back Je ne sais quoi lifestyle is any indication, I have been opting out of the well-heeled existence, leaving my heels at home, and yearning for the cool simplicity of sneakers. Bored of my Isabel Marant wedge trainers, I have been on the hunt for pure white sneakers.... Read More
Currently Craving
How cool would it be to be a French style sleuth? Admiring French style from afar, and mastering that Je ne sais quoi are two totally different things. Style is 100% personal, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement. Basically, if you are a) female and b) have a pulse, you’ve... Read More
Stella, Oh Stella
New York City, the capital of bipolar fashion, is having a breakdown and I’m its number contributor. Yesterday morning, I ran out the door with a pair of skinny jeans, a turtleneck, mens loafers, in head-to-toe black only to be told that I wasn’t dressing playful enough. and looked like... Read More
January Thrills
January is a mixed bag of nuts. You start the New Year with a bang, trying or not to fulfill your dreams two weeks at a time. Your all-black wardrobe needs an injection of spring, yet it seems so far away. Your office needs a makeover, your face needs a... Read More

The Mule Game
Womp, womp. Whap, whap. Clack, clack. Familiar sounds? Yes, it the sound dub step music makes. It is a sound of loss heard on a game show. It is, according to Urban Dictionary, something that is completely not up to regular standards. A succession of clicks. An annoying gum chewer. All above... Read More
January 1 2014
I am going to consume under 500 calories a day. No more wine. No new designer shoes in the year 2014. In fact no shoes the entire year. I will climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. I am going to finish two books a week. Sound familiar? I hate New Year’s resolutions. We... Read More
The Only Thing That is Constant Is Change
2013 was about meeting new friends, finding new ways to get a good night’s sleep, learning how to twerk, and conquering old dysfunctional tasks. I predict that 2014 will be about venturing into unchartered territory. Change is always good, stagnation is not, but we have to let ourselves accept the... Read More

Packing for a trip is never an easy task. Packing for a sunny climes is simple: throw on a few bikinis, jumpsuits, flip flops, sunscreen, caftans, some bling, and a hat or two for frolicking on the beach and you’re good to go. Alternately, packing for a ski vacation is rough.... Read More
