Obsession Of The Week: Vivienne Westwood + Melissa Ultra
This is what happens when Vivienne Westwood joins forces with the Melissa Ultra flats.
I am coveting these beautiful shoes. What a gorgeous color. Perfect for fall.
A happy client = a happy me!
Earlier this week I met with one of my clients to do a little wardrobe auditing, fall styling and outfit creating, before October hit. Today, I received a very happy email from her saying that she wore one of the outfits to work today and couldn’t be more thrilled. She said she got tons of [...]
Tie one on
I am a huge advocate of scarves. All sorts of scarves actually, and I love wearing them in different ad unique ways. As I was doing some research on innovative scarf-wearing techniques, I came across this incredible link on geocities.com.

Birds of a feather
Back in early June, the boyf and I headed over to Governor’s Island to attend the Jazz-Age Lawn Party and Festival for some 1920’s enthusiast fun.

A tribute to 9/11
I moved from Seattle to Manhattan, four years ago today, fresh from college and ready to start my career as a magazine journalist. I was beyond excited, a little scared, but more than ready to start my real life in the big city. The cab dropped us off at our hotel, we deposited our bags [...]
Obsession of the Week: Mid City Tote
I have finally found the perfect tote. For months upon months, I have scoured department stores, street racks and vintage stores for a bag that fits all my needs, both practically and asthetically speaking. Today, I was perusing through simplelovely.blogspot.com, and came across a photo of the Mid City Tote from Foley + Corinna. My [...]
The effortless look of the grey t-shirt

First off, we have the Short Sleeve Women’s Track T, second we have the Unisex Short Sleeve Deep V-Neck and third we have the Racerback Tank, all in Athletic Grey, all of them needed staples for [...]
