Ride On
While watching Girls Episode 3 the other night, Hannah’s new editor at a potential freelance position, pushes her to think outside of her Brooklyn-based box for her first story assignment. For Hannah, it was a coke adventure gone awry, as she rode the white line for a winning story. Although... Read More
Winter Blues
New Yorkers like to complain. I know because I am one of them. Either it’s too cold, too hot, or never enough cabbies to go around. Yesterday was so frigid, I asked on Twitter why frostbite was not trending. And there it was. Hashtag #fingerswithfrostbite. Those texting gloves really don’t... Read More
Outfit of the Day
It’s cold outside and unless you’re spending the winter living in Death Valley or South of the Border, you will need to wear multiple layers to warm up your bones. And the more layers we add, the more yeti-like we become. It is at this time of year that I... Read More

Today on the Fashion Hunter, I am sending all my thoughts and prayers to those who... Read More

So, should beauty products, words, and fashion be stamped with an expiration date as well, indicating that they have a limited shelf life? We know celebrities have an extremely short existence...

No.3 Pencil
In line with Monday’s enthusiastic post about pencil skirts, I felt compelled to present a collage that would paint one pencil skirt in three different ensembles based on the look you want to create. In case you haven’t cleaned out your closet and purged, it’s never too late. Peruse this post... Read More
Pencil It In
Last week I caught a compelling documentary called Ethel, a blow-by-blow story about Ethel Kennedy, wife of RFK, and a Hollywood-starlet. Ethel was irreverent, fearless, funny, and famously fecund. What struck me most in the film, was not only the fearlessness that persevered throughout her career as a mother of... Read More
Easy Denim
Today, in more ways to cover your butt in denim of any variety, I bring you the over-sized, acid-washed jean. Have I mentioned that baggy pants are back? Not sure about them? Try Bermuda shorts! A bra let! A full skirt! All of these trendoids for Spring have serious staying power... Read More
