eBay Picks of the Day
This Etro handbag is such a beautiful shade of green. The auction is almost over so act fast. (Proceeds go to charity.) If you bid, don’t forget to snipe! The charity — Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation for Cancer Research — has a lot of other cool auctions too. If you buy two tickets to Zang Toi’s…
Vintage Moschino Picks of the Day
I like to keep an eye out for fun Moschino pieces on eBay. Check out this “emoticon” jacket. The same seller has a Moschino jacket with heart buttons that would be great for Valentine’s day…and other days too. If you bid on eBay, don’t forget to snipe! If you prefer the “buy it now” option,…

Christian Francis Roth Comes Back
My friend Christian Francis Roth held the show for his new line, Francis, at noon today. All the big department store buyers were there, taking copious notes. I took one or two runway pictures and decided they were coming out terribly, so I opted to just enjoy the show. Sorry, kids! I’ll pick up some…
Zang Toi Lunches With Housewives
Last week, designer Zang Toi invited me to a wonderful lunch and fashion show at his showroom. The guest of honor was … Jill Zarin, otherwise known as the redhead from The Real Housewives of New York. Seriously, y’all! Zang knows everyone from brides and grooms to Housewives. Zang and Jill I think other Housewives…
Fashion Moments in France
As I mentioned, we took a quick trip (arrived Friday, left Monday) to St. Tropez to celebrate the marriage of our gorgeous friends Scott and Isabelle. Here I am, blowin’ in the wind in my several-years-old Versace dress, at the beautiful chateau where Scott and Isabelle hosted us. Later, that dog woke up and ate…
