Instead of flying back to New York from Paris on Monday, we stopped in Washington, DC, for the annual dinner of the Atlantic Council. Fernando was hoping to see a monument or two, but sightseeing was canceled after Air France temporarily misplaced the luggage, leading to all sorts of logistical problems.We still made it to…

Back in New York
I swear to God, this is a picture of Fernando von Bakonstein (pinkish blotch in foreground) and Lauren Bacall (blurry lady in background) at a dinner for the Tribeca Film Festival. I don’t know when I’ve ever seen so many famous people in one place! In addition to Bacall, I ogled Jerry Seinfeld, Larry David,…

Thanks to this blog, I got to meet my favorite ’90s designer, Christian Francis Roth. We had a lovely dinner at Landmarc in Tribeca. Isn’t he cute?(I’m wearing an Ossie Clark top.)

(Well, technically, Elizabeth is Observationmode and Dave is Mr. Observationmode.) The talented Craig from Altamira NYC was my date and our photographer. Craig! You should have told me that I…
Leggings Flashback
Terri Berry, my gorgeous sister, was recently reminiscing about my college uniform of Danskin leggings and Hanes men’s t-shirts. She forgot to mention my denim jacket and red Gap cardigan. Paris 1989 Amsterdam 1989 With family friends in Stuttgart 1989 Looks like I packed pretty light for that European vacation, eh? I can remember handwashing…
Out and About With the Stay at Home Mom
The gorgeous Leah of Style for the Stay at Home Mom came to town and we hit the downtown stores yesterday. Leah wanted to investigate Uniqlo (aka the Japanese Gap), so we started there. We weren’t particularly impressed by the merchandise. Even worse, I took what I thought was a good photo of Leah but…
