I like to watch my blog traffic in real-time on Feedjit. I’m often amazed by similar Google search terms entered by people in far-flung places. Yesterday, someone in Las Vegas was searching for information on Angelina Jolie’s jawline. Minutes later, a similar search term entered in Bangalore, India, also led to my blog. A search…

Zang Toi, Content Thieves and Ivana Trump
After I posted about my designing friend Zang Toi’s Spring 2012 show this week, someone asked what had happened to the post I wrote about Zang’s appearance in the January 2011 issue of Food & Wine magazine. A magazine reader was so overwhelmed by the beauty of one gown that she had written to Zang…
Minx Manicure and a Sneak Peek
Here’s my latest Minx manicure by celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival. I’ve eyed this metallic red Minx for a while. I’m glad I finally went for it. You can also see the underside of a new ring design. It matches one of my necklaces. Can you figure out which necklace it is? UPDATED TO ADD: The…
Kirstie Alley and Georgie Badiel Rock Zang Toi’s Show
My designing friend Zang Toi had his North Africa-inspired Spring 2012 show yesterday at Lincoln Center. I am madly in love with the model who opened the show — Georgie Badiel of the Muse agency. She came out wearing Zang’s strapless linen jumpsuit with a matching coat that was bordered with 23K gold leaf. She…
On the Town: Fashion’s Night Out in New York City
I wasn’t planning to go anywhere for Fashion’s Night Out, but then my gorgeous hairstylist friend Julie Matos told me that vintage showroom Post Script Couture had some pieces from Debbie Harry. I had to check that out, so I put on what I hoped was a Debbie Harry-worthy vintage Stephen Sprouse skirt and headed…

Jennine first did a blogger get-together with a panel of speakers in a bar in September 2009. I…
Photos From Labor Day in Montauk, N.Y.
A sign at “Lunch” in Montauk. All seagulls make me think of Family Guy. (Of course, everything makes me think of Family Guy.) My friend Carl wears red pants, just like Justin Bieber. Hope your weekend was a good one!
The Bag I Didn’t Get and an Amusing Shopping Memory
Last week, I showed you the Louis Vuitton bag that MrB got me for our anniversary. Henry the dog helped me with the photo. The Louis Vuitton site has a picture of the bag’s other color scheme. I got my bag at the Vuitton store in Paris. We asked a saleswoman about it after seeing…

Musical Men in Red Pants at the VMAs
I first noticed the new popularity of red pants at the Independent Fashion Bloggers conference in February. Soon they were on so many bloggers that I put a red-pants slideshow together for the Huffington Post. At that point, I remembered that I’d grown up watching male rockers on MTV jumping around in tight red pants….
