Year in Review: Interesting People I Stalked in 2014
I’m going to end the year with a post featuring the interesting people I stood next to in photos in 2014. It was great to meet up with gorgeous singer/songwriter/jewelry–wearer Skylar Grey again in February.

On Dec. 31, 1994 — 20 years ago today! — I rang in the new year with my gorgeous sister and friends at the re-opened Studio 54. I have never been a big fan of crop tops, but I made an exception for a cropped, silver twinset by Cynthia Rowley. I might have gotten it…

What Wendy Wore: Leather, Just Like Santa
The public-relations firm LaForce + Stevens throws holiday parties with highlarious themes. This year’s event was held Monday, Dec. 15.
