When I think “latex,” I think “Givenchy.” I realize that this is probably not the first thing people think of – it likely falls distantly behind “that weird hospital smell,” “unfortunate allergy,” and “what are you up to tonight?” But for real – the latex trend is a thing now. I mean, in fashion. From […]
I used to think that whimsical embroidery was an embellishment of the school librarian. You know, the stern but kind lady with drawn-on eyebrows (I should talk), a pack of sugar-free Trident in her pocket, tissues up her sleeve, and a collection of tapestry purses her grandkids bought her at the National Geographic gift shop? […]
Happy New Year! Back after some time off with family and friends and man, it is tough getting into those old routines. Our house is in a state of flux, with family flying in and out, Rodrigo prepping for a big Brazil trip, animals going to the vet for checkups and vaccines, and weeks of […]
It seems that white boots are here to stay for awhile, and thank goodness. I love how clean and bold they are, how unexpected, yet easy. Rodrigo and I had a staycation in SF for our birthdays (I’m November, he’s December) and we took an afternoon to walk the Embarcadero. There was a light, pleasant […]
You have your tree-trimming parties, your office parties, your family dinners, your Nutcrackers, your pretentious cocktail parties masquerading as fundraisers, your cookie exchange parties, your ugly sweater parties – then, you have the Going Out parties. And for those, you need a Going Out Outfit. Say that five times fast. [For those other parties, check […]
We’re in the home stretch, folks – Hanukkah starts in 9 days, Christmas in 12, and New Year’s is barreling along shortly after. As someone who is perennially overdressed, I LOVE a chance to get super gussied-up and the holiday season is ripe with reasons to polish a shine in those stilettos, glue on some […]
Who else is ready to get decked OUT in the next few weeks? The holiday season madness has already hit our house, and it seems like more evenings than not, we have some event or party to hit up. Honestly, I didn’t realize I had that much going on in my life until I looked […]
If the enemy of art is the absence of limitations, then last week I found myself in a closet full of friends. It was one of those days when I didn’t think I had anything “new” to do with my wardrobe, just the temptation to wear one of my old Hanes men’s undershirts over a […]
The only upside to bikini season being over is that it’s fancypants season, with a bundle of reasons to dress up (what feels like) every weekend. Last weekend, of course, was Thanksgiving – and y’all, I figured out the Perfect Holiday Dress. [Yes, I know that, like life, you can’t “figure out” a dress, but […]
Let’s get one thing clear – each birthday is a GIFT. None of this “it’s so sad, I’m another year older” BS. The preciousness of birthdays was ground into me during my twenties, during which I lost a good friend suddenly at the age of 26, three of my mentors to cancer, and I myself […]
