10 Crosby

I’m still in the middle of editing my photos from fashion week and headed to a meeting with my book designers.  Until I get some some new posts up, I’m leaving you with this look at Derek Lam’s fall fashions for his line 10 Crosby. The look book was shot in an apartment and is […]

Fun at Fashion Week

Fashion week ended for me today and not a moment too soon.  I don’t think my feet could make it one more day.  It’s always a wonderful ride but also very exhausting.  I don’t know how most editors go on to cover London, Milan, and Paris fashion weeks. I am taking the night off to […]

Tickled Pink

My usual aversion to pink stems from growing up in a Peptol-Bismol pink bedroom.  That’s not to say that I hate all pink.  I love the dirty pink nude color of my Lanvin bracelets and Club Monaco scarf.   But since it’s Valentine’s Day and all, I figured why not give in to the color […]

After four and a half days of braving the women’s fall shows, I was happy for a brief reprieve at the Michael Bastian men’s fashion show this afternoon.  Every boy blogger in the land was in attendance and the crowd was just as chic as the men who walked the runway.  Fall at Michael Bastian is […]

The best part of going backstage before the Fall 2012 Derek Lam fashion show is that you can see the clothes and accessories up close.  The models walk so fast during the runway shows that it’s easy to miss the shoes and bag not to mention the jewelry.  I also love to see the fabrics […]

All Hail Adele

Straight off her big night at the Grammys, Adele will grace the cover of the March 2012 issue of Vogue magazine. In a world of autotune and crazy costumes, many people seem to be appreciating Adele’s authenticity and awe inspiring voice.  Myself included and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for this […]

Thanks to my friends at Estée Lauder, I was invited to cover the backstage beauty before the Derek Lam show again this season. It’s always amazing to see how many hours of work go into a 10 minute runway show.   Estée Lauder and Creative Makeup Director Tom Pecheux creates the Face Chart that his team will recreate […]

Lovely in Los Angeles

Today marks the day of the very first presentation of Skaist-Taylor, the new fashion line by former Juicy Couture founders Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash Taylor.  I can’t wait to see their new line which is said to be closer to their own high fashion look.  Until then, I thought it would be fun to […]

Snow Day

It’s snowing today in New York which should make for an interesting day at fashion week. While I don’t attend all the shows, I am lucky enough to be invited to many for Fall 2012.  Some of them include BCBG Max Azria, Cynthia Rowley, Herve Leger, Alexander Wang, Christian Siriano, Derek Lam, Tracy Reese, Skaist-Taylor, Zac […]

Personal Preview

I’ve recently had a lot of pinch me moments and quite a few occurred this past Wednesday.  I started out the day by meeting uber talented interior designer Stephen Sills at The Apthorp on the Upper West Side for a personal preview of a special exhibition he curated with pieces from the upcoming 20th and […]

I’ve mentioned before that fashion shows are extremely expensive to produce.  That’s the reason why some young or smaller designer houses are forced to get creative and show off site from Lincoln Center.  Lauren Moffatt showed her Fall 2012 collection at a school on Mott Street Thursday and it couldn’t have been more perfect.  According […]

Gimme Shelter

Speaking of mood boards, let’s take a minute to behold the not one but two epic mood boards in the Shelter Half pop up shop in Los Angeles.  My photographer friend Nicholas Maggio was kind enough to take me by for a visit on my last trip.  Shelter Half is dedicated to Made in America […]

Today is the beginning of Fall 2012 Fashion Week in New York.  As you know, one of my favorite aspects besides the runway shows and actually viewing the clothes is seeing the designer’s mood boards full of inspiration.  Jason Wu just posted his on tumblr and it already has me excited for his fall collection […]

Green with Envy

Every time I see a green interior like the ones in The Rug Company collage above, it makes me want to completely redecorate.  I also don’t think I wear enough green.  I do have a big green cocktail ring but maybe I need a pair of army green pants or a bright green blouse.  Something […]

More is More

One of the most special things I was able to do on my recent trip to Los Angeles was visit Tony Duquette’s legendary home Dawnridge and meet Hutton Wilkinson.  The timing couldn’t have been more perfect since the Tony Duquette for Coach collection was just launching with parties while I was in town. For those of […]
