The peplum has made one of its periodic comebacks as a fashion trend. The look brings back fond memories of a structured black cotton jacket with a peplum that I wore in the early ’90s. I had a few tailored pieces by Teenflo for work back then and the jacket might have been one of [...]

A friend of mine had his 60th birthday party at the Copacabana last Friday. I thought it was the perfect occasion for a Versace dress that I haven’t worn since the premiere of the movie Along Came Polly in Los Angeles in 2004 (my film-editor stepdaughter worked on the movie). My dress picked up bad [...]

My designing friend Zang Toi had his North Africa-inspired Spring 2012 show yesterday at Lincoln Center. I am madly in love with the model who opened the show — Georgie Badiel of the Muse agency. She came out wearing Zang’s strapless linen jumpsuit with a matching coat that was bordered with 23K gold leaf. She [...]

I wasn’t planning to go anywhere for Fashion’s Night Out, but then my gorgeous hairstylist friend Julie Matos told me that vintage showroom Post Script Couture had some pieces from Debbie Harry. I had to check that out, so I put on what I hoped was a Debbie Harry-worthy vintage Stephen Sprouse skirt and headed [...]

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 [...]

After all the Eminem excitement, my sister Terri Berry and I decided to take it easy at Lollapalooza yesterday. We got a couple of Bud Lights, spread our beach towel on the lawn and sat in the sun to listen to the Cars. I wore a Pucci top I got years ago. According to gorgeous [...]

My gorgeous sister Terri Berry recently moved to a suburb of Chicago, so I flew out to go to Lollapalooza with her. We took the train from her home into the city with a few zillion teenagers. Two of the female teenagers asked me if I was “SO EXCITED” to be going to Lollapalooza. 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 [...]
