In case you’re new to this blog and haven’t read the TEN MILLION posts I’ve done on this topic … guess what?! My Cleopatra earrings are worn by Samantha (Kim Cattrall) in Sex and the City 2! I wanted to see the movie on opening night. At first, I thought MrB and I would have…

On the Town: My Sex and the City 2 Peeps
Thank you to the gorgeous friends and family members who came out to see Sex and the City 2 on its premiere night at New York’s fabulous Ziegfeld Theater. When our group cheered out loud at the appearance of my earrings on Kim Cattrall’s lobes, I nearly burst with happiness. If you look closely at…
Easter Egg Eyebrows
Forget about the traditional Easter bonnet. Today is the day to try out the Peeptastic pastel eyebrows seen on the Balenciaga runway last month. CLICK FOR BABY-BLUE EYEBROWS. When I saw the Balenciaga pictures, I immediately thought of my gorgeous friend Kara Baby and her gorgeous sister Stephanie Baby. No, their last name isn’t really…
Jane Austen Is All Like, “That Dress? Bitch, Please!”
I went to the Morgan Library & Museum with a gorgeous and exceptionally nice friend* earlier this year. How nice is my friend? After I told her there was no need to apologize for a statement that didn’t offend me in the slightest, she apologized for the apology. She is the only person I know…
Belated New York Fashion Week Tales
Like I said in a previous post, I was pretty busy during New York Fashion Week. When I wasn’t busy, I was delirious. I managed to squeeze in a few shows but, unfortunately, not Vena Cava‘s. I was getting dressed that morning with one eye on the computer when the news of Alexander McQueen’s suicide…
My Hearts Will Go On
I didn’t get to a lot of shows during New York Fashion Week because I had a big non-fashion-related event on Saturday, February 13, followed by the all-day Independent Fashion Bloggers Evolving Influence conference on Monday, February 15. The Saturday event caused me to miss my designing friend Zang Toi‘s show for the first time…
Epic Outfit Post: Electric Lady Gaga Land
I saw Lady Gaga at Radio City Music Hall on Thursday and she kicked so much ass that I’m traumatized … traumatized that I didn’t get tickets for a second night. What was I thinking? I should have known once wasn’t enough! I realized that about Madonna years ago and now I always buy tickets…
Put the Blame on Kenneth Jay Lane
In 1986 — when I was an undergraduate at Columbia College and some of you weren’t born — I got the book that made the long-forgotten Edie Sedgwick an icon. It was then called Edie: An American Biography (it has since been retitled Edie: American Girl) and it had been out for a few years,…
Characters Welcome, Fortunately for Us
My gorgeous friend Elizabeth Wurtzel and I went to a screening of a documentary called American Character Along Highway 50, which will be airing on USA Network (motto: “Characters Welcome“) on Monday, January 18. Route 50, part of the U.S. highway system, stretches from Ocean City, Md., to West Sacramento, Calif., passing through 12 states…
Ringing in 2010, Two by Two
Twenty-four of our closest friends joined me and MrB for my traditional New Year’s Eve/belated birthday celebration on Thursday night. We had dinner at Balthazar, which has also become a tradition. I already gave you a glimpse of the Zang Toi gown I wore. Here’s the whole look. My gorgeous friend Stacy — who, as…
