Recently I met up with my bestie for mani/pedis and I noticed she had a new bag. “Where is your Neverfull Louis Vuitton?” I asked. She replied “I had to throw it out after carrying it for 7 years. It was growing legs!” It’s funny I always thought of Louis Vuitton and designer bags as an […]
Last week while getting my private clients ready for the fall and holiday seasons I came across this piece that could truly work double and triple duty this holiday season.

Well here’s the thing…. the idea isn’t that far off and I will tell you why. It’s something the fashion industry doesn’t want you to know […]
When I got to NYC in 2001 all I was interested in was the fashion industry. I was young so of course the weirder and more unwearable the better. But something changed in my middle years. I’m not sure when, but I think I just realized something wasn’t right after attending so many fashion weeks […]
After staying in the Greek Islands for a while and honestly not seeing much special in the style department, I was beginning to think I would have to forgo the slated Greek artisan post. Then I came across an intriguing store in Chania on Crete called XAMAM and found a multi-functional wrap from my current […]
I’m in the dressing room with my private client and she apologizes for her bloated stomach and says, “it’s not me – this is not me” as she points to her pooch area as if it were a separate entity. My client admits that she’s been experiencing digestive issues and sometimes feels like a stuffed […]
She helped me create not just outfits but a style statement for how I go out in the world in the morning. She’s given me a new sense of confidence, especially when I go to professional meetings
