There are many reasons why we decide to go shopping. I find that some of them are related to the best and worst life scenarios. For instance, some people hit the store to indulge on a bad day when they need a little perk me up. The same person may also splurge when they had … Read More

My Seven Minutes
Yesterday, April 26, I had the honor of acting as the fashion stylist for the Royal Wedding on ABC news at 11:00 AM. I am proud of the looks I put together for a wide range of guests and especially love that they represent multiple price points. The first thing I kept in mind was … Read More
Keeping up with the Windsors
With the Royal Wedding fast approaching, I have been getting a lot of questions about what is appropriate to wear to such an event (I assure you all of these questions have been hypothetical as none of my friends were able to leapfrog Elton John to get on the guest list). I’ll save my recommendations … Read More
A Marchesa Bag Makes the Perfect Notte
I have recently been impressed with the growing success of Marchesa. The brand has expanded into almost every area of the luxury market by producing two dress collections, a wedding collection, makeup line, dinnerware and finally evening bags. The accessory line for Spring 2011 is truly stunning. Georgina Chapman and her partner, Keren Craig, have … Read More
Three Men and some Aviators
I remember the day when I bought my first pair of real designer sunglasses. I was very young and my very generous father bought my sister and me a pair of Ray-Ban Aviators when we were on Spring Break in Maui. The same pair of shades is still in style today. In fact, they are … Read More

I love all of these shoes just as much as everyone else, but the shoe I dream of is designed by Nicholas Kirkwood. He is a London based designer who was trained with … Read More
The “Non Trend” Trend
There is no debating that one of the most prevalent trends for Spring 2011 is the trench coat. I am happy to see that for a change the trend is not “too trendy”. Trench coats are classic and will always be in style. They are a great addition to your current wardrobe since they are … Read More
Black Tie Rules
I spent the weekend at a gorgeous wedding at the Ritz Carlton in Naples, Florida. The American bride blissfully wed an English gentleman which created a very formal dynamic. I would definitely classify the wedding as a Black Tie occasion. The bride’s stunning Marchesa gown and the groom’s regal tails let everyone know they were … Read More
The Best and the Worst of “THE” Cities (Part IV)
Japan Culture and Fashion are alive everywhere you turn in Japan. It steams out of the streets, the people, the architecture even the billboards. It is all around you and all inspiring. The problem with buying in Japan is communication. It is 100% necessary to have a consultant to get around the city and communicate … Read More
The Best and the Worst of “THE” Cities (Part III)
La Ville Paris is undeniably a beautiful and charming city. Everyone agrees that the architecture is something to admire and the sheer beauty is inspirational. One buyer specifically enjoys the way the buildings are illuminated. Personally, I adore the store windows from the pristine bakeries to designer stores. I make a point to visit the … Read More
