I went to hairstylist-to-the-stars Keith Carpenter today and told him I wanted to look like “the new girl in town.” What does that mean? We don’t know! Anyway, this is how I look. Not much different, I suppose. It is shorter, though.

Thursday Book Club: Inspired by Poland
Last week, I told you how my recent trip to Poland inspired me to read Sala’s Gift and The Lost, but I never got around to talking about the books themselves. I’ll rectify that now and, to thank you for your patience, I’ll throw in a number of bonus book suggestions as well. Sala Garncarz…
Fashion Moments in France
As I mentioned, we took a quick trip (arrived Friday, left Monday) to St. Tropez to celebrate the marriage of our gorgeous friends Scott and Isabelle. Here I am, blowin’ in the wind in my several-years-old Versace dress, at the beautiful chateau where Scott and Isabelle hosted us. Later, that dog woke up and ate…
I’m Uberchic!
The lovely folks at Ask a New Yorker named me September’s “Uberchic.” It’s like being Playmate of the Month, but with more clothes and no invitation to swim with Hef in the Grotto. Ask a New Yorker used AltamiraNYC‘s photo of me — as well as several flower molestation shots. You really can ask a…
Tag, I’m It.
Fashionfillers tagged me to write six random facts about myself. Hopefully I’m not repeating anything I’ve said before. I don’t like going to the movies unless I’m convinced I’m going to see something exceptional. (We saw Man on Wire last week and it was exceptional. See it!) I’ve seen Madonna at least once during every…

Thursday Book Club Is a Lesson of 2 Evils
It’s been a while since my last Book Club post. Last month’s visit to Warsaw and Krakow made me (temporarily) set aside my medieval queens in order to read two books about Polish Jews and the Holocaust: Sala’s Gift and The Lost. I had read a lot about the Holocaust in the past in part…
The Color of Royalty
When Karla of Karla’s Closet modeled her peach American Apparel skirt recently, this anonymous comment made me laugh out loud: Oh how glad I am you didn’t choose the purple Barney-esque color. I think a lot of your style originality comes from the fact that you can wear just about any brand (I even dare…
More Rolled-Up Jeans
If you want to try the rolled-jeans look but think Current/Elliott boyfriend jeans and Acne’s Generic Girl are too expensive, try J. Crew. New York Magazine points out that J. Crew’s Distressed Vintage Slim jeans are $135. Not a Forever 21 price, to be sure, but less expensive than the premium brands. Buy them here…
Another Short (Skirt) Story
I think this American Apparel skirt is short enough to avoid frumpiness, while avoiding the frightening brevity of the Acne Jeans skirt. Please excuse the waist-down photos. I’ve been having some bad face days.
