It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. Frederick Douglass

With NYFW right around the corner and an insurmountable pile of non-fashion related work in front of me, I’m starting to feel a bit overwhelmed! That being said, I’m dedicating my fall to simplifying.  I don’t know if I’m ready for the clothing diet yet…. but I’ve already filled THREE contractor bags full of clothes...

It’s a Ziad Ghanem kinda day

  If only I could rock one of these outfits today… Seriously though, I woke up in kind of a panic. You know when you have one of those “how am I ever going to get everything done in the amount of time I have to get things done in?” moments? Anyway, I paused for...

Gap Born to Fit + Gap Jean Giveaway

(Above: the set up, the view, born to fit (yes, all of my friends are absolutely gorgeous!)…) I’ve been so busy since I got back from girl’s weekend that I haven’t had a second to post… sorry! Add to that the fact I can’t find my camera charger (I think I may have left it...

Spot On, Black Spot Books/ Rachel Roy for Macys!!/ K-Salaam & Beatnick Free Album Download!

Gearing up for a crazy August….the next few weekends have me going everywhere from NYC to the CT shore and beyond. I have a favorite journal that I have been neglecting all summer . . . I really should be writing some of this stuff down . . . Anyway, speaking of journals, it was...

Camilla Skovgaard and more…

Hola! It’s been a while, I know. I had to kind of disappear into work for a bit, but it was well worth the effort and I’m back! Today’s designer is the absolutely wonderful Camilla Skovgaard. I am obsessed with her shoes! About CS: Camilla Skovgaard was born in Denmark, north of Copenhagen, as the...

Yesterday was my day of interesting encounters… there was coffee by the waterfront, a figurative trip over the Tobin, heart wrenching eye contact in my favorite District and of course there’s that whole awkward seeing my future thing… although last night I heard it instead of seeing it… anyway, combine all of those experiences with...
Bon Idée!

Bon Idée!

It’s all about the little things, right? It’s like… I have always appreciated the grand gestures and extravagant aspects of life, but at the end of the day it’s often the subtle things that often have the greatest effect. You know, that whole “flower growing through a crack in the cerement” thing. Anyway, that’s why...

“Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you”*

What a gorgeous sunny morning! I’ll keep my intro short, otherwise I will go into some long convoluted digression that I’m quite sure you don’t have time for. Today’s designer is Davina Hawthorne, a fashion and textile designer producing cutting-edge clothes for women. Her work combines textiles and fashion and seeks to push the boundaries...

  Yesterday was my birthday and I have to say it was one of my favorites. I seriously have the most amazing group of friends here in Boston… to top things off, I reconnected with some of my favorite people from the past (MP, I am still smiling!). Anyway, instead of getting all mushy and...

No 1st Amendment Issues Here!*

I am constantly amazed how little split second decisions can change the course of your entire life. I know I’ve written about it before, but I just see it all the time, especially in my line of work. A recent event in an acquaintances life got me thinking about this again… especially due to the...

I always find myself in a sorta funk this time of year. It’s cold. It’s snowy… and it seems like there is no end in sight. I’ll stop now before this turns into a major rant…  Anyway, as part of my winter rebellion I chose images from Riana Blyer’s spring collection. I love the top...
