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
Winter White
January is the best time to play catch up on all the movies I missed in the past year, because the days are short and the streets are deserted. Instead of culling more stuff from the red-hot mid-Winter sales, or eating my way through the Polar Vortex, I do a... 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.

We are also required to drink anything other than clear liquor, and generally act like a fat ass... Read More

Perhaps it’s a marketing miss or overall consumer apathy. Last year’s trends, those UGG boots I keep telling you not to... Read More
Fringe Benefits
My style icon, Phoebe Philo, makes herself very clear about the importance of minimalism, and in the name of fashion, adopting the French attitude that less is more. But just when I’ve gotten the hang of never taking off my ripped denim, waking up at the crack of dawn for Isabel Marant, trying to... Read More
Keeping Warm, Staying Cool
Since it’s been so effin’ cold of late, all I’ve been doing is scrolling through street style blogs, attempting to make bummer bars and puppy chow, and wrapping gifts for the impending holiday. Although the editorials tell us to drape our winter coats over our shoulders to be oh-so-chic for... Read More
