For my fourth Minx manicure, I got a mix of silver and gold. I think it’s my favorite Minx look so far. I paid for this manicure myself at Fifi Nail Salon. As you might recall, I didn’t pay for Minx #3, which was a barter: I let the Minx people have one of my…

Jewel of the Month: Vampire Valentine’s Day
This winter, I’ve spent a number of insomniac nights watching 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. reruns of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Logo. After seeing the episodes Double Meat Palace and Dead Things, I complained via Twitter that Buffy was unkind to her Billy Idol-esque, Brit, bad boy vampire lovah, Spike. To my surprise, 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…
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,…

I already gave you a glimpse of the Zang Toi gown I wore. Here’s the whole look. My gorgeous friend Stacy — who, as…
Who Says I’m Hard to Shop For?
My birthday is on December 23 and I was excited to tell y’all exactly what I wanted: a metal eye patch like the one worn by Alexander Skarsgard in Lady Gaga‘s Paparazzi video. It was listed for only $102 at Not Just a Label. Unfortunately, someone bought the eye patch before I could post about…
Queen Michelle Wears the Swear Rings
I swear! How gorgeous is blogger Queen Michelle from Kingdom of Style? Look at her modeling her new Wendy Brandes swear rings. Not only does Queen Michelle make the rings look great, but she’s probably the best advertisement for long hair that I’ve ever seen. She better hope I don’t catch her, because she would…
Most Awesome Designing Women OF ALL TIME
I recently became reacquainted with two gorgeous designers and decided they must meet. The many blogger get-togethers I have hosted have gotten me into the habit of introducing everyone I know to everyone else I know. Recent examples include: London Los Angeles San Francisco These gatherings always involve drinking too much and occasionally involve being…
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…
