I wrote this for a paper but unfortunately it never got published due to an editorial changeover. Still, it has interesting information so here it is:

Want to know a celebrity secret? The reason they all look so good is because they get everything altered so it fits them perfectly (or sometimes too tight). It’s not limited to black tie outfits, it includes jeans, t-shirts and even shorts. [Read more...]
I like shoes. Yes, I’m a cliche. I can live with that. I find that generally the more money you spend on shoes, the more comfortable they are. Well, except for Louboutins. They’re not. I find them deeply, deeply uncomfortable. [Read more...]
I’m that friend. You know the type – the one who gives books to children. When Natasha, my high school best friend, had her first child I gave her a copy of the Beatrix Potter stories (and I’m not the only person to do so). They’re classic, beautifully illustrated and who doesn’t appreciate a sneaky rabbit? [Read more...]
Seriously, why? It’s either feast or famine when it comes to finding brown bras. For some of us, brown is our nude and when our trusted nude bra dies, as they all do, it’s always a hunt to find a nice brown bra so we don’t have to worry about show-through. [Read more...]
I’m a Wolford fan. I buy a pair every few years and wear them until they’re fuzzy and starting to shred. They’re expensive, about $70 per pair but they are really worth it because their opaque tights are actually opaque, no hint of skin to be seen. [Read more...]
Everyone talks about the food and music scene in New Orleans. Both are true because god knows that Gail and I have been eating our way through the city. In fact, we’re sitting by the pool working, accompanied by margaritas right now.
The shopping is very good here. [Read more...]
Bibhu Mohapatra: Black and Beige & Beige Lace Tee
I find it odd to pay a lot of money for an item that has the word, “Tee” in it because a t-shirt isn’t supposed to be expensive. Anyway, this, while called a tshirt, isn’t really.
It’s also $1,200 according to Moda Operandi. That hasn’t stopped me from mentally working it into my wardrobe (It would be perfect!) and doing justification-math. (Justification-math is different from regular math. Instead of 1+1=2, it works out as fancy item+credit card = debt.
“Winter coat,” “green pea coat” and “Old Navy coat” are some of my regular search terms, so people who search, this one is for you. [Read more...]
It’s been a while since I updated. I’m sorry about that – I’ve been working on articles for new outlets and pitching like a fiend. (And by fiend I mean freelancer.)
I went to my only show yesterday – Lucian Matis – because his stuff is beautiful and he cuts for a woman with breasts and a bottom. Also, I’m friends with his PR rep, Gail McInnes. Part of going to the shows is sometimes wearing ridiculous high heels. I say “sometimes” because sometimes I just don’t bother. When I do, I tend to wear my black Manolos. Comfortable enough for heels but tiring after a while.
Here’s where these come in: [Read more...]
Kara Ross jewelry
That is a photo of my Kara Ross jewelry. Most of it was bought by me except for a couple pieces that were gifted. Why am I writing about them? Well, I recently bought a few pieces and a couple of them had a couple minor errors with them – nothing that couldn’t be fixed. I tweeted to Kelly Claman, the owner of the showroom that carries Ross, asking for recommendations for fixing. Instead, Kelly and Sabrina sent me replacements (not asked for) immediately. Which is amazingly fabulous and deeply generous of them.
That is good customer service.
