Yesterday, I showed you the two outfits I would have chosen between if I’d had gone to the Golden Globes last Sunday. Here’s a closer look at the jewelry I would have worn with either outfit — all my own designs, of course. (I had to raid the vault for this little photo shoot!) From…

Woman Crush Wednesday Video: Debbie Harry
Like one of Stefon’s club recommendations, my YouTube video for this week has everything. I talked about my longtime crush on Blondie lead singer, Debbie Harry; one of her and my favorite designers, Stephen Sprouse; and the history of rap. If you stay for the demonstration of my own straight-fire rapping skills, you get two…
Wednesday’s Video: Vintage Clothing FAQ, Part 2

I’ve had a Who song stuck in my head for two days because of this post’s title. I bumped into Roger Daltrey…
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…
