A Neiman Marcus catalog came in the mail and I was very taken by this pair of gold-on-gray Cavalli jeans. I like the eye-catching-yet-somehow-neutral color. But, to be honest, I am also fantasizing that my legs would look as long as the model’s if I wore those jeans. That reminds me that in 1999, I [...]

Go over to the Huffington Post’s Stylelist section today for my story about bloggers wearing the houndstooth trend. Don’t forget to leave some nice comments for the participants! I discovered two more houndstooth-wearing bloggers after deadline, so I’ll share them now (click their photos to visit their blogs).  Here’s Sal of Already Pretty wearing a [...]

After I asked for pictures of people wearing my team colors of black and denim, I didn’t get any photos right away. Instead, I got a couple of comments from fashion bloggers who said they didn’t have any solid black tops or never wore jeans. I started thinking, “Wow! I thought I was dressing in [...]

Back in July, gorgeous blogger Sal of Already Pretty wrote about the hazards of wearing team colors when you’re not a fan of the team. She said: “If you’re not a sports fan – and I’m not – it’s a challenge to wear this shade of yellow with anything in the purple/red family in Minnesota [...]

A reporter from Japanese newspaper the Yomiuri Shimbun attended the Independent Fashion Bloggers conference on September 7 and did a story about people wearing prints. My Lego-print Castelbajac dress caught her eye, so I’m in the story, along with some other gorgeous bloggers. And here’s the online version. Mami, the reporter, asked me why prints [...]

Gorgeous blogger Vyque of Fasshonaburu got married in Virginia on September 17 and I was there! Vyque and the new Mr. Vyque (aka Curtis) were on cloud nine … and a livestream. They’re modern that way! Vyque designed her ombre violet gown herself and had it made by local wedding-gown expert Angie Cavallaro. It reminded [...]

Thanks to Sal from Already Pretty for sharing the link to Alice Bradley’s blog post in honor of her mother’s 75th birthday. The list of 75 things that Alice’s mom has said makes me think Alice’s mom is my soulmate. I particularly like #43: “Cheap crap is crap. Why would you buy cheap crap?” Read [...]

After I wrote about fall’s color-blocking and snakeskin/print trends for the Huffington Post’s Styelist site last month, I said to myself, “Self, a trend story isn’t really a trend story without one of my awesome blogger slideshows.” I immediately started working on a snake-print and color-blocking slideshow. Luckily, I didn’t rush it because I got [...]

If one of you is desperate to buy me a gift, I’ll gladly take a chartreuse ombre gown from Olivier Theyskens’s first show for Nina Ricci in 2007. Vintage dealer Marilyn Glass has a nice one on 1stdibs.com. I despised chartreuse for years. Decades even. Then, overnight, I fell in love with it. I often [...]
