Childhood is Calling: Stella McCartney x GapKids
When I was younger, I never realized or appreciated the freedom that I had. I only wanted to be older so that I could make my own choices. I had no idea that in some instances, I would have greater restrictions placed upon me. I know not every child is given free reign with their wardrobe but that may have been the one place that my mother actually allowed me autonomy. Looking at home videos with her, she sometimes remarks on how “wild”,... Read More
Sprung!
The clocks have sprung forward, which is one serious sign of an impending Spring. And although the recent rains have felt apocalyptic at moments, I’m trying to stay focused on the positive. Rain showers bring May flowers, etc. A recent viewing of Return to The Blue Lagoon [don't judge!] has peaked my interest in shipwrecked yet surviving on a desert island jewelry. I really love these colorful pieces by Bimba & Lola but if you’re... Read More
Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead
One of the best things to happen to me in 1991 was the release of Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead. It’s an epic film starring Christina Applegate as Sue Ellen Crandall, a fashionable teen who has to fake her way into the fashion industry in order to support her 4 siblings while their mother is away on vacation. Trust me when I say all kinds of shenanigans ensue – including a fashion show! In addition to the awesome... Read More
GIMME GIMME: Marc by Marc Jacobs S/S 2010
I’d like to revisit a collection that didn’t earn much acclaim from the experts but made my heart sing – the Marc by Marc Jacobs S/S 2010 collection. In the last week or so, I’ve spent a remarkable amount of time flipping through photos of the collection and daydreaming about Spring. While it may not be a groundbreaking collection, it’s realistic. It’s almost exactly what I aspire to for Spring. And most importantly,... Read More
March 2010
March is a strange month for several reasons; here are 5: It’s no longer the “new year”, so what’s your excuse for still writing 2009 on things? The weather is moody but you can count on two things – the wet and the cold. The little biological clock inside of your body can’t stop thinking about Spring so you find yourself fantasizing about activities and outfits that are completely impractical. Yes – it’s... Read More
Why I love Band of Outsiders
Two days ago, a friend asked me why I love Band of Outsiders so much. He complained that the line is too preppy. Well, yes, I agreed. It is preppy and that’s the point. There are some of us out there who still love American classics and appreciate quirky reinterpretations of them. Everyone knows that I love a good blazer; there are 8 (black) blazers in my closet right now. For the record, each of them is a different cut. What I love about... Read More
