Last week, my sister and my niece came to my house for a swim date (my pool has a heater, theirs does not…) and when I opened my front door for them in my bikini and colorful, sheer Pucci-esque printed caftan cover-up, my sister took one look at me and said, “you are seriously like a skinny Mrs. Roper in…
I think I loved my little white tasseled cowboy boots when I was 7 years old more than I love my Louboutins now. My mother was obsessed with Dale Evans. My favorite Madonna era was her “Ray of Light” album when she single-handedly brought back fitted Western shirts and faded boot-cut jeans. My part-Native American boyfriend spent much of his…
I have always been a dress girl. One-piece, easy, and makes you look longer and leaner. The opposite of a skirt and top, which automatically cuts you in half. However (you knew there was a “however” coming!), if the skirt is the right skirt, it can not only be super flattering, but also insanely chic and really versatile from season…
There isn’t much that I love more than a fabulous little fitted jacket. Or sequins. I love them both equally. So a little fitted jacket, covered in sequins, kind of makes me drool and dance and jump up and down at the same time. And when that combination exists from one of my all-time favorite designers and has so many…
Yeah, yeah…I know it’s “your chariot awaits”…;) Anyway…it is hot this summer. Like, HOT. Like, I made the major mistake of going running at 2pm yesterday. It was 91 degrees and I’m guessing about 472% humidity. HOT. So for someone like me who wants to pile jewelry on top of jewelry even if I’m not even leaving my house, it’s…
I’ve mentioned (probably 7,000 times) that summer is my favorite season. I would happily live in Miami or LA if my family wasn’t in New Jersey. So that means summer fashion is also my favorite. Bare skin, maxi dresses, sandals every day, etc. If I didn’t ever have to own a pair of boots or a winter coat again, I…
My brother-in-law is Greek, and the minute he joined our family, so did his inherent love for evil eyes. These symbols are said to protect us from evil and bring us luck (who doesn’t want both those things?!), and can be found everywhere…as ceramic wall-hangings, screen-printed on tote bags, in gorgeous jewelry, etc. I have had a glass evil eye…
It’s that time of year again…when it’s ok to look like an extra from a country music video and wear a teeny-tiny flag-print bikini! The 4th of July is so intrinsically “American” that it’s the one time I actually advocate for anything kitschy and cutesy and themed! The one thing I will say, though, is unless you plan on wearing…
I was talking with a friend the other day about how when she wears anything strapless in the summer, she feels a little “naked” up top. But if it’s hot enough out to wear a strapless jumpsuit or dress on its own, it’s also too hot to cover it up with a little jacket. Which is where a “statement” piece…
This week, I am going to a “white party” for a friend’s 50th birthday celebration. So basically everyone has to wear white, and everyone is freaking out (“I’m not tan enough,” “I didn’t buy anything white yet this season,” “what neutrals are ok to mix in?” etc, etc). I, funny enough, had already planned on wearing a new white strapless…
