Yo, Mamas
Delivered to my email from my husband for Mother’s Day. Even better than the real thing.
Pretty In Pink
The chic elite were in fine form at tonight’s Met Ball, but what caught my eye were the notable touches of pink. It was the crowning glory of designer Chris Benz who went head to head with his arm candy, Julie Macklowe…
Not to mention Coco Rocha in Vintage Givenchy.
And everyone’s favorite new Girl, Lena Dunham, perfectly punctuated her emerald green number with a pair of...

Last night I was catching up on Paris Fashion Week and finally took a look at the Rick Owens show. At the same time my daughter excitedly thrust the new Barbie Collector catalog in my face with this doll, the Walking Suit Barbie, earmarked as the one topping her wish list. Like mother, like daughter, I suppose.
I Marant More
I just finished looking at the Isabel Marant Fall 2012 show and I kind of hate to admit, I was lusting after nearly every look that walked down the runway. I say hate to admit because I feel like I need to temper my addiction for Ms. Marant’s cool girl clothes, if for no other reason than to stop draining my bank account. But more to the point, shouldn’t a seasoned fashion fiend such...
Back in Black
photo: fashionologie.com
Recently—four weeks ago to be exact—I returned to the world of fashion magazines, stepping in for a fashion director who is on maternity leave. (Both she and the publication shall remain nameless. For now, anyway.) And while I have fully embraced this comeback—temporary as it may be— as a full-time fashion editrix, many of my mornings have been fraught with the...

Gone In Sixty Seconds
A week or so ago I spotted this new version of the much coveted high top sneaker by Isabel Marant on the La Garconne website. I was instantly obsessed in that totally irrational fashion way, and was about to order them when I noticed the fine red print stating the expected arrival date was February 15th. In other words I couldn’t pull the trigger just yet. So I obsessively checked the...

Clutch and Go
Mexico may be a alive with color—from the deep blue sea to brightly painted buildings to the boldly hued local blankets, baubles and beach bags—but the latest addition to my Clare Vivier collection fits right in. This animal printed leather flat clutch with a neon pink zipper has been my go-to bag since touching down in Sayulita nine days ago. We take off for LA—where all of Clare’s...
Back to the Future
Winter has barely hit her stride—actually it officially begins today—but the 2012 pre-Fall shows are already in full swing. We all know that fashion is always a few steps ahead but it still never ceases to take me by surprise, at least for a moment. As I was perusing the designers’ offerings, I was struck by one show in particular: Theyskens’ Theory. Once again the Belgian Boy...
Better off Red
(from my Wink blog this past Monday. Clearly Katie Holmes has good taste as she knows a chic bag when she sees one. Welcome to the cult of Clare Vivier, Katie.)
This past week, Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise were snapped several times entering and exiting The Greenwich Hotel in New York City’s Tribeca neighborhood, which as it happens is home to yours truly—the hood, not ...
The other day I popped by the Wink offices cum studio because they were shooting the Spring 2012 collection—which is filled with super cute pieces—as well as a few new pics for the blog, which, yours truly pens daily. I decided to take a few snaps myself and thought I would share them.
THIS PLUS….
THIS….
EQUALS THIS.
But I still don’t have the pants.
Pop Culture
I am all about giving credit where credit is due—after all, I am a stand up kind of girl. But I have, on occasion, been guilty of staking claim—in my own mind—for setting a trend. Such was the case recently when I was in Paris. It was there that I debuted a new gray knit hat with neon pink accents by Mischa Lampert and a neon pink leather belt given to me by my friend, the uber cool and...
Moms Night Out
The other night I went to a shopping party at the chic and fabulous kid’s store Yoya. Despite the rain, the shop was filled with some of downtown New York’s hottest mamas who were sipping wine while perusing (and purchasing) the goodies for both young and old. These bubble wrap bears were not for sale.
But this fabulous bag by Lorenza Gandaglia was.
The lovely Christina, the...
Hot Mamas
Calling all moms who live in and around NYC. Tonight my chic friend Christina is co-hosting a soiree at her equally chic children’s store, YOYA from 6 to 9. There will be wine, pampering and 15% off of all her covet-worthy kids stuff. Slip on your Wellies and come on by, it’s totally worth the trek, even in the rain.
Make Mine Marni
Like my friend Clare Vivier, I too am beyond excited about the upcoming collaboration between H+M and Marni. I am always obsessed with Consuelo Castiglioni’s collections year after year, particularly her accessories. And the other day when I was at my daughter’s school I saw these fantastic necklaces created by some of the students in their wood shop class. No one can walk by...

French Twist
(photo: tellmewherethisis.com)
How’s this for an ironic twist? Here I am in Paris, where among other things I plan to visit the Isabel Marant store—the very one that started my obsession back in 2009. And while I am going to see the collection of covet-worthy clothing, I have to admit, I had a fantasy that Ms. Marant herself would just happen to be in the store the day I visit. Turns out...
Marannabe Me
In a classic case of chic minds thinking alike, I was set to kick off the weekend with a post about this very subject. Well, same subject, different boot. I was happy to see that Clare, a bellwether of fashion for sure—I’ve followed in her footsteps more than once by purchasing the exact shoes I saw her wearing—had done the work for me.
These are my Marannabe boots, which do not take...
Special Delivery
The other day I received an unexpected package. While I have been guilty of late night wine induced click and sends at some of my favorite shopping sites, I always shamefully knew what was coming when the UPS man rang my bell. But an unexpected package delivery was something I hadn’t experienced in a criminally long amount of time—after all, a girl could use a good surprise more than...

Taylor Made
A couple of weeks ago I went to the Rebecca Taylor showroom for a re-see of the Spring 2012 collection. I do have a soft spot for the line and its urban girlie gestalt—not to mention the fact that leopard is a recurring theme in the collection—and am always lusting for something each season. But this time was different. Seems Ms. Taylor has been seduced a little more by the dark side and...
