I’ve been looking for a pair of high-wedge sneakers for years. I tried on these sunny See by Chloe sneakers in 2009, but they didn’t fit. In 2010, I pondered this pair by Ash Shoes, but I wasn’t sure I loved them as much as the Chloes. I wound up with a pair of silver-sequin, [...]

Yesterday was the sixth Independent Fashion Bloggers conference. IFB was founded in 2007 by my gorgeous friend Jennine of The Coveted to provide fashion bloggers with the resources to build better blogs. It now has 30,000 members. Jennine first did a blogger get-together with a panel of speakers in a bar in September 2009. I [...]

In 2009, I wandered into a Jean-Charles de Castelbajac store in London and instantly became a huge fan of his work. My best and most-frequently-worn purchase was definitely the patent rainbow loafers. But I also love my boob-cloud top, sidewalk-traffic-stopping Lego dress, sailor outfit and smiling skirt. When I was in Paris last month, I [...]

Before I quit the corporate world in February 2005, I wore a lot of suits. They were my weekday uniform. The ones I got between 2000 and 2005 were particularly nice, and I couldn’t bear to part with them. Recently, I’ve been making an effort to wear them. I took an Alexander McQueen skirt suit [...]

For those of you who like my Castelbajac sailor pants … … they’re on sale on Yoox.com. I think I got a better deal on them when I bought them on sale at the store last year, but unless you have a time machine set for 2010, you’ll have to make do with Yoox. Yoox [...]

I hope all my U.S. readers had a lovely 4th of July weekend. We visited some friends who live on a lake. For a party on Saturday night, I wore a Pucci-esque Versace dress that I’ve had since 2002 or 2003. Here’s how it looked in early 2003. Here’s how it looked this weekend. What [...]

Last Saturday, I went to an event where I wanted to look serious, so I dug around in my closet for some suits from my (pre-2005) corporate days. First, I tried on a gray skirt suit by Luciano Barbera. I got it at Barneys when I was absolutely desperate for a summer-weight, investment-bank-appropriate suit. I’d [...]

Once, when my father, GeorgeB, was struggling to take an acceptable outfit photo of me for this blog (“Move! Don’t stand there like a statue!”), I said sadly, “I have only one pose.” “Be thankful,” GeorgeB replied, “Some people don’t even have one.” It was the fashion-blogger version of “I cried because I had no [...]

My post about panda dresses reminded me of a fashion fad from my childhood: clip-on koalas. For a year or so, it was de rigueur to walk around with a small, stuffed koala toy clipped to one’s shirt or jacket. They came in gray and tan. Eventually there was a clip-on panda too. I was [...]
