inside karen’s closet: yes, that’s me, rummaging through your laundry!

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Have you ever wanted to rummage through someone’s closet? Try on their sinewy dresses and slip into their sculptural shoes? It’s an old game, this dress-up, but it’s one that I’ve rarely played. When I was younger, I would sometimes disappear into my mother’s smoke-ridden leather jackets and wrap dresses. But the clothes were tinged [...]

blow: fight frizz & look fabulous @ this epic nyc blowout salon!

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

A decade ago I walked into a midtown salon and asked for a blowout. An enclave of haute stylists circled me like vulture-like, and solemnly shook their heads. It can’t be done, they exclaimed. No way would hair like mine ever be sleek and straight. Perhaps I should try the Dominicans up in the Bronx? [...]

hello, home: covetable housewarming gifts worth the splurge!

Saturday, July 24th, 2010

If this be a home, fill it with lavender and life. Lay down plush rugs and hang gossamer curtains from wrought iron rods. Fragrant the rooms with blooms, citrus and a cacophony of aromatics hinting of a spice garden. Make your four walls and rented rooms a place worth coming home to.
After nearly [...]

snapping her closet: karen robinovitz: sneak peek!

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

Come tomorrow, you’ll find me rolling around Karen’s closet, pawing things, sobbing, the usual and expected.

the limited holiday 2010: ladylike luxe on a budget!

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

Who doesn’t crave a return to a world where ladies waxed ravishing in cashmeres and silks, perfecting the crimson pout, and every gent wore a hat. Weeks ago I viewed The American Woman exhibit at The Met, and I found myself lingering over the demure coats and gossamer gowns of another era. Words cannot express [...]

decorating my digs: wall treatments & sofa

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

Who knew that finding a royal blue, sunken in couch would be on par to finding Peruvian buried treasure? While New York is truly the shopping mecca of America, I’m starting to realize that my hunt for the perfect investment piece will take me on the outskirts of the city. And although I fell in [...]

sneak a coveted peek: LOFT holiday 2010

Saturday, July 17th, 2010

Come Holiday LOFT is taking its cues from the refined lady who artfully pines for whimsy and play. She’s smitten over her bejeweled adornments, gilded-beaded clutches, sinewy scarves and a flutter of autumn lapel and wrist blooms in deep fuschia, violet and blush. Evenings are rife with simple black dressing, but day calls for entrance-making [...]

dressing my digs: my journey in creating a home!

Friday, July 16th, 2010

This morning I woke from a sound slumber with a start. I paced the rooms of my new apartment, felt the cool wood of the hardwood floors and the pristine white bathroom and the delicate curtains that drape, and felt something that resembled love. I know this sounds bizarre — feeling emotional about a place [...]

covet this: amore pacific future response age defense cream

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

Magic cannot be found in a bottle; the halcyon days of one’s youth can’t be unearthed in a tub of cream or a needle poked and prodded into one’s skin. Allow me to shout from the rafters when I say that a clean diet, scads of water, and a life lived without smoke, minimal [...]

APB: HAVE YOU SEEN THIS J. CREW PAVE BRACELET?

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

I need this J. Crew bracelet, and every location in AMERICA is sold out. Have I checked the location in Oshkosh, Wisconsin? OF COURSE I HAVE.
Goddamn you, Eileen. I was living blissfully in the world. Tra la la and whatever. And then you had to go and show me this remarkable bracelet that [...]

conceptualizing a home: a woman considers her decor situation

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

Amidst a pile of boxes you’ll find a woman in panic. Although I’ve been a vicious editor, filling bags with the discarded, I’m still nerve-wracked when it comes to the decor of the new, sweet place I’m calling home in a few weeks time. Over the years I’ve shifted from stark minimalism to Shabby [...]

redken giveaway: because a woman has to draw a line in the sand, sometimes

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

Believe me when I say that a woman is surrounded by beauty products. A woman is drowning in shampoo, swathed in makeup and wading through the proverbial sea that is the body scrub. And as I packed box after box after box, I took a step back and said: FELICIA, YOU CANNOT PAY TO [...]

style me fox: a woman gets pipino’d

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

The last time someone cut my hair I warned him that if he made one error, one slight of the shears, he’d end up in a body bag. The stylist laughed while my expression remained unchanged. I was unwavering in my threats, in the implication that I rolled with a hacksaw in my purse. [...]
