If anyone were to ask me to define my style, it would be this photograph of Eva Mendes (minus the sunnies): tailored, classic items in black & grey, lux scarves and impeccable shoes. Head to toe, this is a covet-worthy outfit. Although I don’t have a clue who styled Eva or what’s she’s wearing, […]

Heavily influenced by French-chic and urban flair, Eryn brinié offers a collection which merges natural chic and modern sensibility. A South-Korean brand with 30 stores in Korea & China, Eryn brinié is making a fashion splash with it’s Soho launch. TopShop and H&M, step aside. I heard the opening was MOBBED.
The clothing is […]

“All I can say is, it’s sort of a kinship, as though there is a family tree of grief. On this branch the lost children, on this the suicided parents, here the beloved mentally ill siblings. When something terrible happens, you discover all of a sudden that you have a new set of relatives, […]

More snaps, here.

This is what happens when you stay in on a Friday night, when you devour the Patricia Bosworth biography, when you sit, transfixed, in front of your television watching Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus, and when you page through, slowly, her retrospective table book, Diane Arbus: Revelations.
Suffice it to say, […]

Believe me when I say that half-day Fridays are still ALL ABOUT WORK. I just arrived home from errands, and I have a screenplay treatment to revise, a book to read, clothes to dryclean/wash, a house to clean, a pet to fondle, emails to write, a newsletter to finally (finally!) compose, snaps to take, […]

Sometimes, I kind of have to laugh when I read magazines where editors evangelize Frizz-Ease as the product to tame frizz and smooth kinks. I mean, maybe this would work for girls who […]

When we think of the word “bully,” the image that comes to mind is the Big Bad Kid who kicks ass and takes names behind the bike racks after school. So begins Nina’s recent, prolific post on reuniting with high school bullies. I’d been reading about cyber bullies for quite a while, and […]

“In 2004, luxury brands collectively sold $11.7B worth of handbags and other leather accessories, and the segment is only getting stronger. While the luxury market grew by 1.2 percent each year from 2001 to 2004, leather goods sales increased by 7.5 percent each year. A large share of those sales are “It” bags: the […]

As I lament over the expiration of my three-month investment in various dating sites (insert the usual suspects here), I wonder how hard is it for me to go on a normal date. Not with a guy who collects stuffed kittens or with a WASP advertising executive who recorded his soon-to-released solid gold hit, “SMACK […]

Have I mentioned how much I adore sweets? Vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese frosting? Blueberry crumble with oat topping? A huge (HUGE!) slice of layer cake! Last Friday, at a kiddie pool party (don’t ask, but I assure you that it was great fun), I was tickled to spy a box of pastel treats […]

I might possibly get shot for posting this, but I believe this is ideal cover concept for the paperback version of my memoir, due out in May of 2009, by Harper Perennial. The cover is decidedly bold, smart, and jives with the book’s positioning (cripe, I’ve worked in publishing way too long! There goes […]
