On this date in 2007, I published a post called “Just a placeholder,” which said, “I’m going to start this blog soon but right now I’m busy redesigning my regular website.” Two days later, Britney Spears stole one of my rings. That simply had to be blogged and suddenly I was off and running. I [...]

I finally wore the Zang Toi dress that I first ogled in Zang’s September 2009 show. It’s a spring dress so I added [...]

Our friends Dick and Janice got married Sunday in a lovely ceremony. They read Rumi and Shakespeare to each other, causing me to jab MrB in his side and hiss, “You didn’t read any poetry to me.” Janice looked so glamorous. I was amazed to learn she was wearing J. Crew from head to toe: a [...]

In October, I went to a Food & Wine Magazine “New Year’s Eve dinner party” shoot at my designing friend Zang Toi’s house. The other guests were White House executive pastry chef Bill Yosses; models Deborah Fenker and Ling Tan; and the lovely Cecilia who, like me, is neither a model nor a famous chef. [...]
