Chic when it’s cold? I’m happily missing this weeks cold by spending the winter out west… Yes, I suffer from California-ism – the desire to be warm all the time. Don’t hate me…you can join too. I have learned that, to actually get outside when it’s freezing, I need to have cozy chic duds to inspire […]
“It’s getting hot in here. I wanna take off all my clothes.” With over 100 degree temperatures in NYC, the clothing-optional water junkies at Harbin are sounding kinda smart right about now. Thought I would share my staying cool and looking cool tips with you: Synthetics don’t breathe, which is bad news this year because […]
Are you wondering what happens at a True Gault custom shoe scanning party? I first went to one a few years ago and it’s been exciting to see how the company has advanced their technology. At the first party they had dozens of shoes that you would try on for fit. That is now not necessary. You […]

When the digits drop so low you can’t feel your ears, it’s natural to forgo fashion and pull out the hat. But hat head doesn’t have to […]
Yesterday, while I was coming back from meeting with a fellow entrepreneur in Marina Del Rey, I dropped my beloved blackberry q10 down the elevator shaft. I was in total shock and in a bit of a panic because I’m not usually that careless of a person. I love my blackberry…yes you can make fun […]
