This fashion month might be the best yet for street style. There seem to be less crazy costumes and more real life ensembles. I love that many editors and buyers are wearing denim since that’s my daily uniform. I’m also seeing a lot of army green, in addition to camel and black. If you’re at a loss […]
My new favorite street style subject is C magazine fashion editor Annina Mislin. Her style is an interesting combination of conservative and daring. While I would never wear a bra top and open shirt on the street, I admire her moxie and her abs. Someone needs to find out her workout routine and post it […]
Sometimes I am slow to edit photos or get a post up but occasionally it all works out for the best. Dior held their haute couture fashion show for fall 2014 at the Rodin Museum on Monday which give me the perfect opportunity to post photos from event mixed with my photos from a recent […]
I was aware of the photographer Vivian Maier because the publisher of my book Habitually Chic: Creativity at Work, powerHouse Books has published two books of her work, Vivian Maier: Self-Portraits and Vivian Maier: Street Photographer. I wasn’t aware that her recognition as a photographer only came posthumously after I saw the trailer for the documentary […]
As some of you read on Instagram, I’ve finally moved into my own apartment after living with my friend Eleanor and her family for a month. I definitely could not have made such a smooth transition without her generosity and hospitality but more on that later. I’ve moved to the 7th arrondissement but just […]
If you have been wondering why my posts have been going up late if at all, it’s because in between working on projects, I’ve been making countless visits to the tailor and cobbler in preparation for my summer sojourn in Paris. Packing for four months is infinitely harder than packing for a week or two. […]
It’s been raining for four days in New York which reminded me that I need a new trench coat. Normally I would pull out my beloved Gryphon trench but it looks like it’s finally time for it to be retired. I also have a lovely trench with a fur collar from Barney’s private label but […]
Now that I have the dates of my summer sojourn to Paris planned, I’m already thinking about what I am going to pack. I will be away for four months and will have to be prepared for a temperature fluctuation from around 50 degrees to possibly 80 degrees or more, especially as I travel to […]
If you haven’t already heard all over the internet, Kate Moss turned 40 today. A clear indication that 40 is the new 30 for sure. While most models aren’t that relateable, I find Kate’s street style truly inspirational. Happy Birthday Ms. Moss!
When I read one reviewer of the new Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art describe the Impressionist artists as the “street style photographers of the past”, I thought Monet and Manet would roll over in their graves. But once you see the exhibition in person, you realize that the Impressionists […]
I’ve been putting street style photos of Giorgia Tordini in my personal style inspiration folder and on the blog for a while without knowing her name. It was a comment on a post on The Sartorialist that led me to discover that Giorgia is Italian, a fashion stylist, a contributor to Grazia.it (where she’s often photographed […]
I was pinning images on Pinterest the other day and started to notice a pattern. Bon weekend! all images via pinterest

I was going to post something else today but then I thought those of us experiencing grey skies and snow showers could use a burst of color. Bon weekend! via AD Espana Cacharel Furbish via The Glitter Guide Sterling Style design by Frank de Biasi Nicole Warne of Gary Pepper Vintage via Inaluxe via Frassy […]
One of my readers emailed me for advice on choosing a new bag. She was trying to decide between a Celine Phantom tote and a YSL Muse bag. I told her that I think Celine bags have become a new classic and it would stay in style longer. As you can see from these examples, they […]
My malachite bowl giveaway was a good excuse to put together a post of more malachite and gorgeous green images. You probably heard that Pantone recently named emerald green the color of 2013. I feel like this was more of a reaction that a prediction. Green has been a popular color for a while, so […]
The consensus is that we’re all tired of seeing the same girls on every street style site. That’s why I found J.J. Martin’s real style refreshing. She’s the Italian Editor at Large for Wallpaper (talk about dream job!) and always looks like she’s wearing her own clothes not pieces given to her by fashion houses. I keep […]
