Canni get a Jenni?
Somehow I thought this week was the last week of October… which had me running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off (that scene in Babel still gets to me….) anyway, phew! Nice to know I have that week back. As the cold air starts to set in here in Boston, I’m getting...
Dear Pruitt,
My heat was officially on all weekend (don’t worry, it comes with the rent). It always takes me a while to adjust to the fall: less sunlight, colder temperatures, in fact… now that I think about it…. why don’t I live somewhere warm again?? Anyway, I guess there are a few good things...
One to Watch: Ndoema
The other day I was sitting on the subway reading when a bunch of high school girls crammed on the train. Now, I know this is going to make me sound old, but it has to be said… What the &%$# is wrong with kids these days? It’s liked I walked out of work and...
Rescission Proof/ Humidity Proof Hair: Living Proof
I am always SUPER skeptical when products claim to be “anti-frizz.” I’ve tried just about everything… from Ouidad (sorry, not impressed), to Redkin, to my personal favorite (which is awesome because it’s super-cheap) Garnier’s Sleek and Shine Smoothing Milk . When I was told about Living Proof’s Frizz Solution I was mildly intrigued… but, as...
Zinfully Good
Short weeks make for long days… it’s like, in the end everything works out the same, you know? Anyhoo, I’m off to work. I’d like to say I’m excited about the last debate tonight, but the last one was such a snooze-fest, and really, we all know exactly (to the word) how each of the...
Crushed Velvet? Velvet Leaf!
I am having server issues with the website… I don’t know exactly what that means, but I do know the site is set up between two different website companies… and I’m pretty sure the problem is with one of them. Which one? I don’t know. How to fix? I’m stumped. Time to elicit some tech...
Perfectly Imperfect
In these crazy times I sometimes feel guilty writing about fashion… I mean… most people, myself included, have had to make certain sacrifices due to the current economic situation. However, as I’ve said before (I might have even said it yesterday… I was up at 4am this morning so I’m not thinking entirely straight) this...
Eco-Chic Chen
I love the fact that being eco-conscious is no longer considered a trend, but a way of life. For designer Meiling Chen, sustainable style came naturally (no pun intended, but it kinda works doesn’t it?) and her distinctive line is one of the freshest out there. Meiling’s early introduction to fashion was watching her father...
UK Urban Socialites!
Ladies in the UK, how much do you love sample sales? How much do you love getting highly coveted fashions at 1/2 off? Natalie, Urban Socialite extrodinaire, emailed from the UK today about a great new site, Cocosa. Cocosa is an invitation-only fashion destination for women, offering its members exclusive access to carefully curated private...
Lo- and Behold… Lola Faturoti
I had a great talk last nigh and it reminded me about the important things in life. It’s so often we get wrapped up in the superficial aspects of things, you know? I mean, I know I write about fashion (which some would argue by it’s very nature is superficial)… but at the end of...
Afternoon quickie: Candidate Couture
Amy Odell’s feature on The Cut shows the politics of fashion: Sonia Rykiel‘s spring 2009 collection included sweaters that read “I have a dream” and “Obama.” Jean-Charles de Castelbajac put Barack’s grinning face on a dress paired with gloves that read “yes” and “no” — probably his way of saying “rock the vote.” For more...
Dubai Fashion Week Begins, Asudari Impresses
I blame Erika for my inability to reign in my spending this weekend… I mean, what kind of friend drags me to Natik, literally throws an adorable Blazer in my arms makes me buy it, and then convinces me to snag a cute pair of MJ heels for like a quarter of the price (last...
