I was amused to read that actors and ex-lovebirds Jude Law and Sienna Miller were spotted last week at the restaurant Emporio, home of my favorite peach sangria. My former employer, People.com, earnestly quotes a restaurant source as saying that couple opted to sit out front rather than in a “private seat in the back…

Vote, Damn You!
Last year, after winning both my categories (Blog With the Most Swears and Blog With the Most Pictures of the Blogger) in the “prestigious” Drysdale Awards thanks to an exhausting and exhaustive campaign, I had a Shermanesque attitude about potential future Drysdales. “I will not accept if nominated and will not serve if elected,” I…
Thanks for Giving, Part I
Several gorgeous bloggers have surprised me with thoughtful gifts over the past few months. I’ve thanked them by email, but it’s way past time to thank them publicly. I still need to take photos of several items, so I’ll start out with just one: the Ghostbusters uniform Halloween dress made by Practically Perfect in Every…
Thank You!
I wish I could list all the people who made my holiday sale and pop-up shop such successes, but it would take me so long that — if this were an awards show — the orchestra would play me off stage. So I’ll simply say thank you to everyone who blogged, Tweeted, attended, shopped (both…
Henry Is Coveted
Last week, I had the pleasure of having gorgeous blogger Jennine from The Coveted as my houseguest for the second time in a month. We had grand plans for various photo shoots but they all fell apart. The only picture I got of Jennine was a rare one of her in her lounging-around clothes, hanging…
Post Rerun: A Defense of Fashion
Gorgeous blogger Tavi of Style Rookie recently posted a link to Washington Post fashion editor Robin Givhan’s column about the uproar du jour over thin models. The column, thankfully, didn’t use the expression “real women” (as in “real women have curves” and, presumably, non-curvy women must be imaginary) but the topic did remind me that…
Hair-Raising Times With The Shoe Girl
Last week, gorgeous blonde blogger The Shoe Girl came to town and took me to the FFANY Shoes on Sale party at Lincoln Center. I wore a strapless Jean-Charles de Castelbajac motorcycle-zipper dress that I got in Paris this summer. The dress made me a little crazy. I was inspired to try a hairstyle that…
Four Reasons to Be Proud
My Mud Flap Jill cufflinks made it into Houston Magazine‘s October 2009 issue. Even better, they’re in a T&A-themed feature. My Papessa Prayer Locket made it into the Fall 2009 issue of Inside Weddings. The Sunday Best thinks I am the bee’s knees. And I was one of the winners of Independent Fashion Blogger’s Dress-Up…
You’re Invited to a Sample Sale
In New York later this week? Come visit me at my sample sale this Friday, October 23, from 5 PM to 8 PM, and Saturday, October 24, from 12 PM to 6 PM. It’s being hosted by the fabulous people at BoConcept, which is at 105 Madison Avenue and 30th Street. I will be selling…
“Caption This” Contest Winners
I loved all the caption suggestions for the backstage photo from my post on the Francis Spring 2010 look book shoot. I admit I was a bit surprised we got no “The Pet Goat” suggestions, because that’s what Jennine, Christian and I thought of when we first saw the photo. C’mon, people! It’s okay to…
