I always figured there was no chance any of you fashion bloggers would rub off on me. I was pretty sure I didn’t have the creativity required to put together your unusual color combinations, create your amazing layered outfits or turn a skirt into a stole a la Little Edie Beale. And I was right!…

A Flair for the Obvious
I wore this vintage Moschino dress to our Valentine’s dinner. It won’t enlarge! Don’t bother clicking. UPDATED TO ADD: During dinner, we were befriended by the people seated next to us and it turned into quite a party. Here we are with the charming Allyson and Jake from Mississippi.
Models and White Powder
My adorable designer friend Zang Toi showed his Adirondacks-inspired fall 2008 collection at Bryant Park today. You can see a video of the whole show here. (Select “shows” and then mouse over the images for his name. Unfortunately it doesn’t have the rockin’ music he really used.) Check out the fake snow sprinkled around the…
Nomi Malone Loves Versace Too
Some fashionistas assume Versace always looks like the purple dress below, complete with scary, too-tan makeup. No, there was no time to start over. I had to go out with an orange face and white arms. Shit happens! Get over it. Sometimes peeps have armgina, sometimes they have bad makeup. Orange you glad to see…
Mizrahi, Oldham, Roth, Magic and Loony
Back in the ’90s, young designers Isaac Mizrahi, Todd Oldham and Christian Francis Roth were fashion stars. They were awesome. They didn’t make enough money to stay in business, but they were awesome. I last wrote about these designing men in September, when Oldham was named creative director for Old Navy. Earlier this month, Mizrahi…
Butt Bow Alert!
I loved this vintage dress when I saw it from the front … …. but I ADORED it when I saw it from the back! UPDATED TO ADD: This under-the-boobs, red-white-and-blue bow made my heart skip a beat! It’s very French Revolution, non? Alas! It is too small for me. Look at the back! Wild!
Lucy Liu’s Clothes in Cashmere Mafia
Dear Googlers of “Lucy Liu and Cashmere Mafia clothes”: I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that you can’t have those clothes because a lot of them are one-of-a-kind vintage pieces. The good news is that if you’re in New York, you can shop for your own one-of-a-kind pieces at the…
The Unique Style of Judaysia
I discovered Judaysia of A Hair Affair on teh Interweb and quickly realized that she has very good taste, so we got to talking. She has a private-clients-only hair salon in Malibu, but in the ’80s, she designed clothes that were sold at cutting-edge New York shops: Patricia Field, Ian’s, and Unique (my favorite). I…
Happy New Year, Bitches!
My husband threw me a big New Year’s Eve/40th birthday party. My friends Phil and Angeline sent me some flowers and balloons to get me in the mood. Lots more pictures to come! UPDATED TO ADD: My dress code for the party was black tie OR mutton dressed as lamb. As you can see from…
Too Sick for the Sales
I have a bad cold, so I’m not hitting the stores to check out the post-holiday sales. But I always have enough energy to browse online. I like this asymmetrical top even though it’s terrible for jewelry. A necklace is out of the question and earrings might be too. I try to avoid clothes that…
