London, Day 2: The Wizard of Ossie
Today was all about Ossie Clark. Ossie obsessives like gorgeous blogger Sharon Rose know that the late designer, who was never good with money, sold his financially troubled line to clothing manufacturer Al Radley in the ’70s. (A large percentage of the vintage Ossies floating around nowadays are from the Ossie Clark for Radley line.)…
Bloggers’ Delight
The handsome street-style blogger Craig of Altamira NYC was kind enough to arrange a bloggers’ get-together this evening. Be sure to keep an eye on his blog for photos. He took a few pictures of me standing on the street and after a shot or two, suggested I try a pose that looked a more…

Ossie’s Back!
I am thrilled that the Ossie Clark label is going to be revived at last! I know the guy who held the rights to the name and he was trying to get something going for long time. But he wanted something high quality, and someone who would respect the label. None of the Topshop/H&M stuff….
Keep or Return?
I ordered this all-over-argyle sweater from J. Crew. I thought it would be fun to wear with white jeans this winter. But, as I expected, the small is too big and the XS will probably be too small, so I’d have to get this one taken in. Is the sweater worth the effort? Speaking of…
