I received the most backhanded compliment last night and it is still on my mind. I paired skinny jeans, a wife beater and leather bomber with a pair of 5” Prada clogs from last season. A male friend of mine repeatedly told me how great my ass looked throughout the entire evening. By the end … Read More

My secret best friend: the tailor
I am yet to meet a woman who does not have to consult a tailor. Regardless of a woman’s shape or size very few garments fit perfectly right off the hanger. Weather it is a simple hem or shaping the train of a couture gown, the tailor is essential in creating the perfect look and … Read More
Who gave me that??
There are so many times that friends and family give the worst gifts. They are ugly, the wrong size, the worst scent, a gift certificate to a place you will never go to, etc. This turns receiving a gift into more of a chore than a pleasure. After pretending to like it and then returning … 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.

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
My Shoe Fetish
I know that most women are obsessed with Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik, and who could forget the red soles of Christian Louboutin. 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
