Tweet A few years ago, while I was browsing eBay or Etsy, I decided that I desperately needed more psychedelic clothes. I was not on acid at the time, so I don’t know why this happened.

Tweet While reading this weekend’s Wall Street Journal, I laughed a little over a story called, “The One That Got Away,” about shopping for past-season, but not-officially-vintage fashion on Yoox, eBay, and a number of recently launched pre-owned clothing sites. In particular, these two sentences amused me: “Buying clothes in this way, however, requires a [...]

Tweet I’m in Los Angeles for Oscar festivities! I’m not going to the ceremony this time, but that’s okay. I’ve already lurked seductively behind George Clooney on the Oscar red carpet once in my life — who could ask for anything more? Last night was The Weinstein Company’s pre-Oscar part at Soho House.

Tweet I don’t know which I like better: this devilish vintage Moschino skirt … … or the dress version. Both are highlarious. (By the way, you can follow my highlarious fashion board on Pinterest by clicking here.)

Tweet I guess I’m in the mood to keep the party going, because I can’t stop my (online) window-shopping for vintage dresses with big, bold, bright patterns. Here are three that caught my eye. The first one is by Balmain. The other two are from one of my favorite fashion houses: Versace. They’re loud and [...]

Tweet I’ve previously documented my passion for trompe l’oeil clothing, so it should be no surprise that this vintage Roberta Di Camerino gown blew my mind when I saw it on 1stdibs.com. I’m amazed that it’s a wool jersey. I figured it would be some kind of slippery nylon. SO! MUCH! FUN!

Tweet As I’ve mentioned many times, I’ve seen Madonna on every tour she’s done since 1985, when I skipped my high-school prom to see her at Radio City. For quite a while, I’ve seen her twice on each tour. She usually plays a string of dates in New York and I realized that whenever I [...]
