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…
VV Brown Wears Wendy Brandes Swear Rings
Gorgeous singer VV Brown is wearing the Wendy Brandes swear rings on pages 72 and 73 of the March 2010 issue of SPIN Magazine! Here’s page 72. VV and I must be soulmates because she’s wearing a version of the hairdo I wore last October. You can check out page 73 on my Facebook fan…
More on the Evolving Influence Ethics Panel
Before I write about my New York Fashion Week adventures, I’m going to tell you what I think came out of my ethics panel at Monday’s Independent Fashion Bloggers Evolving Influence conference. I don’t believe there’s a single code of ethics that can cover all fashion blogs right now. The issues a fashion-news blog faces…
Independent Fashion Bloggers: Evolving Influence
My gorgeous friend Jennine — The Coveted blogger and Independent Fashion Bloggers founder — pulled off quite a feat yesterday with the Evolving Influence Fashion Blog Conference. Three hundred bloggers from all over the world came to attend four panel discussions and an after-party. I moderated a panel called Navigating Blog Ethics. Because I was…
Sally Randall, New York Style Icon
When gorgeous blogger Ondo Lady asked me to write about my New York style icon in honor of Fashion Week, I instantly knew that I would be writing about Sally Randall. With Ondo Lady’s permission, I’m republishing the post I did for her blog here: When I think of my New York style icon, I…
Three Bloggers, Two Hats, One Ring
One of my jewelers has developed a passion for taking videos with his iPhone. Here I am looking dubious about it. I’m wearing the hat gorgeous blogger Jennine got for me at Tar-Jay. I think it’s a lot better than this chicken hat that I tried on while out on the town with another gorgeous…
Roma-Ro-Ma-Ma! Gaga-Ooh-La-La!
Honest to God, I was a very shy child… …but that was a long time ago, little monsters. More about the Lady Gaga concert soon (that’s my souvenir t-shirt above). Also, thanks to all of you who have posted and tweeted about Janet, as well as everyone who has generously donated and/or purchased a Teeny…
Help a Blogger in Need
I’ve got bad news for you. Blogger Janet of Je Ne Sais Quoi (also known by her blogging identity, iheartfashion) suffered a tragic loss this week when her husband took his own life. He had been unemployed for a period of time. Janet has two children, ages 7 and 9. She needs some financial help….
Minx Manicure #3: J.Lo, Beyonce and WendyB*
I don’t get manicures as often as I should, considering that wearing large rings is a requirement for my business and people are always looking at my hands. I get so bored during manicures that I delay until I realize that broken-off nails of varying lengths are distracting people from the beauty of, for instance,…
