I recently had a chat with Severine Ferrari, editor-in-chief of Engagement 101, which inspired me to drag out my ginormous wedding album. Seriously, this thing is so heavy that I have to hitch two Shetland ponies to it to pull it out of the bookcase. I flipped through a few pages for this week’s YouTube video….

Throwback Thursday: CPJ Outfits From 2007-2017
Last night, MrB and I went to the annual International Press Freedom Awards dinner held by the Committee to Protect Journalists. CPJ is a cause near and dear to our hearts — so dear, in fact, that MrB served as chairman for six years. The organization is an independent nonprofit that promotes press freedom worldwide…
Wednesday’s Video: Slow Fashion, Purse Edition
Continuing this week’s posts about slow fashion, my new YouTube video stars a few purses that “One Woman” has used for 10 or more years. I’ve had to dig around for photos of a couple of the pre-2007/pre-blog purses featured. At first, I was puzzled by the fact that my rainbow monogram Louis Vuitton —…
Another Slow-Fashion Fan: Tami Roman
In my excitement over my unexpected appearance as “One Woman” on Inside Edition yesterday, I forgot to mention another proud slow-fashion fan. Shout-out to my gorgeous rapper friend Gangsta Boo for pointing out this hi-fucking-larious “Bonnet Chronicles” Instagram post by reality-TV star Tami Roman about wearing shoes till the heel falls off. I can’t even…

Wednesday’s Video: Gigi the Dog in Action
After Gigi the dog left us last week, I mused to my sister, Terri Berry, that Gigi was more like a person than a dog. “Moody and opinionated?” Terri asked. For a split second, I wondered if she was talking about Gigi in particular or making a sweeping statement about humanity. I didn’t ask for…

What We Wore: Halloween 2017
I celebrated Halloween on Saturday by going to Videology Bar & Cinema in Brooklyn for a screening of the 1980 movie The Shining. MrB had never seen it before! Now I’m wondering what the hell he was thinking all these years whenever he came across pop culture references to “Redrum.” I dressed as one of…
Wednesday’s Video: Skulls, Sharks, and Lipstick
On the surface, this week’s YouTube video is about the casual outfit of a t-shirt and jeans that I wore to a meeting with Brecken Branstrator, a gorgeous senior editor at National Jeweler. It sounds so basic, right? Never fear! As always, I have a story for everything, so the t-shirt and jeans lead to…
Throwback Thursday: Gigi the Dog Is Sweet 16
Gigi the dog turned sweet 16 this month! We’re not sure exactly what day her birthday is — we got her in February 2003 as a rescue when she was 18 months old — but October 18 keeps popping up in my mind, so let’s pretend she turned 16 yesterday. Naturally, we celebrated with a…
