There is no better way to escape the dreary weather than to head to a museum or gallery.  I can’t wait to visit the Stanley Wise Gallery soon to see the fabulous photographs of Arthur Elgort on display.  They range from the beginning of his career in 1970 to 2010.  Elgort has shot for some […]

As I was walking up to Industria Studios yesterday afternoon for the J.Crew Fall 2011 preview, I saw Vogue editor Filipa Fina leaving.  She was wearing bright plum colored cropped pants.  Not sure if this was planned or a coincidence but it was definitely a harbinger of what was to come inside as viewed by the first […]

Blue Monday

02 . 28 . 11

Even though red seems to be grabbing all the headlines lately, I’ve been noticing a lot of blue on and off the runway and in the home.  I absolutely love Todd Alexander Romano‘s new blue apartment that was featured in the February issue of Architectural Digest with its pops of citron, chartreuse and red.  I also noticed these […]

Lauren and Lam

02 . 02 . 11

I came across this old photo of Lauren Bacall crossing a New York street recently.  As soon as I saw it, I was immediately reminded of the Derek Lam Spring 2011 collection.  If Lauren Bacall was a young woman today, I could easily see her wearing his whole line right down to the shoes.  This is […]

Color My World

01 . 25 . 11

The biggest trend on the Spring/Summer 2011 runways was color.  Not just a little color but bright, bold, beautiful hues that will shake up your world.  After this brutal winter, I can’t think of anything I want to wear more than cheerful colors.  There are many interior designers who embrace color in their work like […]

Where the Boys Are

01 . 17 . 11

I thought I’d post some chic men’s fashions today as well so my male readers don’t feel left out.  Fashion editors and buyers were in Florence last week for the Pitti Uomo menswear shows and Tommy Ton was on hand to catch the best dressed some of whom were women!  Ciao! All photos by Tommy Ton

Ode to Wicker

01 . 13 . 11

This wicker Hermes Kelly bag looks just right.  I’d like to carry it while wearing a Fendi dress in white.  Tina Turner could drive me around in her Fiat Jolly that surely goes zoom. At the end of the day, we could hang out in this chic lattice room. The End.

Go Green

01 . 11 . 11

Big thanks to my friend Sarah at Rice and Beans Vintage for alerting me to the fact that Stella McCartney was also feeling green.   Her 2011 pre-fall collection is full of emerald green mixed with navy and even gray.  Maybe Pantone should call me before they choose their color for 2012!  Green is definitely good!

The End of an Era

12 . 17 . 10

I was a little shocked to hear this morning that Carine Roitfeld, the editor in chief of French Vogue, will leave the magazine at the end of January.  She’s started her career as a model and later stylist for Tom Ford among others.  She’s been with French Vogue for ten years and says she has […]

Those who were not lucky enough to be invited to the presentation of Tom Ford‘s spring 2011 women’s collection can finally see what we missed thanks to Vogue.  The ensembles were presented by a coterie of Mr. Ford’s friends who included models, singers, actresses and others.  Their ages, 22-67, and body types varied from bootylicious […]

I absolutely love fall but always have trouble dressing for the transitional weather. One minute I’m freezing and the next I’m sweating so layers are a must but still hard to get right.  I’ve been pouring over all the images from New York, London, Milan, and Paris fashion week street fashions and now feel inspired […]

Lovely Loewe

08 . 13 . 10

As you are well aware, I love any type of marketing or magazine features that involve gorgeous interiors and exteriors.  The new fall campaign from the Madrid fashion house of Loewe (pronounced Low-eh-veh) has just that and is making me swoon.  There is something about the shots that remind me of the film I Am […]

Lucy in the Sky

07 . 21 . 10

Writing a blog is hard work. I can’t imagine how much harder it becomes when you have to style your own outfits, photograph them and them post them everyday! I bow down to the fashion bloggers who regularly put themselves and their outfits on display for public scrutiny! My new favorite is Lucy Laucht. I […]

Who Wears Short Shorts

07 . 06 . 10

I was working on a post about looking chic in shorts when I came across the photo above on The Sartorialist website. Of course, the photo was taken in Paris where everything looks chic but I love how pulled together she looks. The temperature is supposed to reach over 100 degrees today so looking and […]

My love of Phillip Lim‘s work is no secret and not only does the spring collection go on sale today but they have released a fascinating video of the making of the finale dress. I was deeply inspired by the Picasso exhibition at the Gagosian gallery last year and it was exciting to hear that […]

Prada Print Collection

05 . 17 . 10

My flower obsession continues with the new Prada Prints Collection! Remember when Carrie exclaimed “Hello Lover” in reference to some shows in a store window on Sex and the City? Well, that’s what I thought when I saw this fabulous collection! The floral and print fabrics are from the Prada archives and the silhouettes were […]
