After such a lovely week, we are caught in the middle of a dreary, rainy day. Boo! I always want to stay in on days like this, but I managed to avoid the temptation this morning. I woke up and motivated myself to get to the gym. It is only a short walk, so I did not think to … Read More

Missoni for Target vs. Missoni at Neiman Marcus
I have always had mixed feelings about designers doing lines for stores like Target, H&M, Kohls, etc. I understand that it is all business and the most creative designers on the planet who do not license out their name or do diffusion lines have a very small income. I also think that it is great … Read More
Runway Madness
I have always loved attending the shows during Fashion Week. So much work and thought goes into every aspect of the presentation and still the show seems to fly by in a matter of minutes. I often find myself struggling to take everything in at once. There are so many visual and emotional images radiating from the runway – … Read More
Leggings Galore
A few years ago when The Row started to become really big, all the rage was leather leggings. The “real deal” retailed for $1700 a pair which not many people can do. Everyone from Lindsay Lohan to Target started making faux versions. I still love and wear both leather and faux leather leggings but have … Read More
White to Black
Ever since P.Diddy started throwing his famous White Party in the Hamptons, it has become a popular theme. I personally think that unless you are attending THE white party the concept is a bit cheesy. However, that seems to be the minority opinion. I am not exactly throwing a party this evening, but I am … Read More
What year is it again??
For the last few months – maybe even a year now – I have had a feeling that the 90’s were coming back. I noticed a significant amount of inspiration from the decade when I saw Pre Fall in NYC this year. I did not want to believe it, because the 90’s are the first … Read More
Fashion in Napa
I spent the last week in Napa with my family. We went wine tasting and to a few events at night. The entire time I felt over dressed – I definitely did not bring the right clothes. Napa is a very laid back, casual place. People there just do not dress and jeans are appropriate … Read More
How to Wear the Vest. Best
Fall is hands down my favorite season in terms of fashion. There are always great sweaters, coats, boots and fur pieces which are some of the best fashion items to own and wear. I am delighted that Chicago has been hit with the first chills of Fall so early this year. In my opinion, the … Read More
The Most Money Can Buy
Every time I read a restaurant review, I note the number of dollar signs assigned to each restaurant. These dollar signs indicate how much I will be spending, who I should dine with and what I should wear. But how do you prepare for an unlimited amount of dollar signs? You can start with my … Read More
Alexis Bittar meets Miss Havisham
I have always been a fan of the jewelry designed by Alexis Bittar. Most of his pieces are in line with trends but still have a unique flare to them. The quality is also very good and the prices are reasonable I purchased two pieces from Alexis Bittar over the last few months – crystal … Read More
