A couple of weeks ago, I went to the last day of the Meadows Music and Arts Festival at Citi Field. (Shout out to my girl Gangsta Boo, who was like, “You know you want to go” even though I missed her performance on another day with Run the Jewels.) I saw Nas, who got…
Throwback Thursday
Throwback Thursday: Paris in June
In June, MrB and I visited three cities in Europe. MrB was giving speeches and/or participating in panels everywhere, and I went along for the ride! Paris was first. When MrB wasn’t busy, we walked around by the Eiffel Tower, because I can never take too many pictures of that. On our way there, we…
Throwback Thursday: Stephen Sprouse Skirt
I can’t remember exactly where or when I got my pink Stephen Sprouse skirt, which is from his Hardcore 1988 collection. I think it was in 2006. The first photo I can find of it is from 2007. This is how I wore it in 2011, while out on the town with my friend Julie….
Throwback Thursday: WJA Awards Fun
For Throwback Thursday, I have a few more pictures from last month’s Women’s Jewelry Association Award for Excellence gala. First, the sentimental one. I love the way this picture captures the camaraderie of the WJA members. All hands on deck! This photo says it all – @womensjewelryassociation has connected us with SO MANY brilliant designers,…
Throwback Thursday: 1 Wedding, 1 Anniversary
My gorgeous friend Alyssa Brownell and her fabulous man, Robert, got married last month. Alyssa wore my 18K gold tiara, as I’ve mentioned. The entire day was beautiful. There were a lot of happy tears during the ceremony in the awe-inspiring Church of St. Francis Xavier. Saturday afternoon church … #notmyusualsaturday #wedding A post shared…
Monika Reports on the Young Royals
This is random, but too exciting not to share: When Prince William and Princess Kate visited Poland this week, my Warsaw-based friend Monika was part of the crowd that turned out to greet them. Okay, anyone can join a big crowd, right? But not just anyone can get to the front of the crowd, shake…
Throwback Thursday: Celine Dion’s Oscar Tux
Céline Dion was talking about fashion with People magazine recently, and I was glad to learn that she isn’t traumatized by the criticism of the backwards John Galliano tuxedo she wore to the 1999 Oscars. Embed from Getty Images Céline said: “When I wore that look, yes it was at the Oscars, and when I…
Throwback Thursday: Vegas Gems
I skipped last week’s big jewelry trade shows in Las Vegas because I have a new plan for working with retailers — one that I will reveal soon. The decision made sense from a business perspective, but personally, I missed seeing the group of jewelry-industry women known as the Vegas Gems. Click the photos to…
Throwback Thursday: Supermodels on the Runway
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: The only models deserving of the “super” prefix were the supermodels of the 1990s. Linda, Christy, Naomi, Cindy, Claudia, Nadja, Yasmeen, Veronica, Helena, Stephanie, Karen, Kate, Nadege … I could go on and on listing ’90s goddesses. #nadegedubospertus in Versace Couture @versace_official #versace #90s #model A…
Throwback Thursday: When Havoc Struck
As I’ve said before, there are fascinating stories to be found in the obituary sections of newspapers. I’m specifying “newspapers,” rather than the “news,” because if you’re not physically turning the pages of a print edition, it’s easy to miss anyone whose death doesn’t make the homepage of a website or the top of a…
