Over the past week two different people asked me the same question: What are you doing with powdered blush? Why is it in your house? to which I so curtly responded: I’m lucky I know how to apply it without looking like an employee of the Big Apple Circus! Who wants random children stomping [...]

So I’ve gone a bit mad today, delirious over the fact that temperatures crept past fifty degrees. The cashmere scarf and wool hat? Shoved deep into my bag. And daylight at 5:30pm? Be still, my rapidly beating heart. It’s all I can do to not throw open the windows, heat up the oven, and [...]

When I first learned that I’d be attending the Bergdorf Beauty Blogger Breakfast, where creators and representatives from eminent beauty, skincare, and fragrance collections would be showcasing their latest product lines, I nearly hyperventilated. Here was an opportunity where I could spend time with perfume purveyors and luxurious beauty arbiters and sample their wares [...]

You know when you’ve discovered the perfect lip gloss, and you wonder how it could be possible for you to move on? Why bother with Sephora when you’ve found perfection, that pink, glinting diamond? Naturally, as evolution would dictate, you proceed to hoard your coveted gloss should manufacturing cease (Revlon – I’m still bitter [...]

While you’re all delirious over the fact that you’re not wearing parkas or toting around wind-proof umbrellas, I’m irate. Why has spring been reduced to a mere event rather than a season? Why am I considering an air-conditioner installation in April? Whatever happened to lilacs? I’ve seen one lilac bush and it was pitiful. [...]

I’m delighted to announce that paperback of my memoir, The Sky Isn’t Visible From Here, hits bookstores, tomorrow! Even though planning for my charity event (which I hope will evolve into a non-profit) has consumed my waking hours, please believe me when I say that I was giggling and delirious when I saw a copy [...]

Sarah Rainone and I have a lot in common. We were colleagues at the non-defunct Collins (of HarperCollins) imprint, we’re authors who share an on-sale date, and we’re women who’ve realized that the next biggest thing might just be right around the corner. We’re excited for what’s to come. Sarah is the author of [...]

Times are tough, and the fanciful lobster and crawfish dinners and dizzying shopping sprees have wisely been replaced with Food Network fare and clothing swaps. We still crave our comforts, but we’ve become clever; we’re cost-cutting artisans, getting the most mileage out of every dollar earned. We download coupons, we brown bag it, and [...]

Right about now I’m kind of obsessing over my new favorite blog, the coveted. The editor’s sartorial tastes are spot-on, and there’s always a bevy of covet-worthy picks. So after I spied a recent post on Beklina, a well-edited collection of clothes made with sustainability at the fore, I had to click and pet. [...]

Yesterday was all about a lazy day in the park, flipping through magazines, sipping on cold tea, and plotting summer adventures with my best friend. Although we have markedly different styles (she’s rock and roll, romantic, and bohemian all at once while I’m tailored and conservative with a bit of feminine flair), we are [...]

answering your questions about my memoir pt 5: the policy of truth from Felicia Sullivan on Vimeo.
Lesley Clark asks: Felicia, in light of the whole “smoking gun” issue with James Frey and memoirs in general, how did it (if it did?) affect your wishes to write your memoir and did you notice any excessive scrutiny [...]

Well, if a girl can’t have wine in her glass, let’s bottle it and add a dash of it to her hair! I’ve been a long-time fan of Ted Gibson, the soft-spoken artisan of hair, and his luxurious line of products, which merge modern technology with the highest quality ingredients available – all in an [...]
