Fashion Flurries
New York Fashion Week might start on Thursday, but it’s game on today as far as I’m concerned – with invites flooding in, interns secured, and hats and belts in their almost-ready position on the floor of my closet and at the ready. But in reality, Fashion Week or not, it’s... Read More
Navy Nuances
Us New Yorkers love to complain. Either its too hot, or during the deep freeze, über decides to raise its already sky-high rates, or the fact that the upcoming Superbowl crowds and impending 574,857,209,384th storm might wreak havoc on our city. Yesterday it snowed, and after asking on Twitter why frostbite... Read More
Spring 2014 Ads

Stuck On A Uniform
Shopping is a highly addicting habit that will temporarily medicate situations, but the guilt will, in a surreal sense, haunt you forever. I don’t mean that the Sacai Luck faux leather mini skirt that I purchased for myself for my birthday last month wasn’t well-deserved. I can think about whether I... Read More
On Norma
I had the pleasure of visiting Norma Kamali’s showroom on a busy 56th Street last week on a beautiful afternoon. What struck me right away was the amount of influence and power that Norma holds today as a fashion icon. She literally invented the sweatshirt, the most comfortable garment on... Read More
