Pink Lipstick Recommendation: YSL Rouge Volupte in Rose Culte
I was seriously into eyeshadow during my teen years in the 1980s but now my favorite kind of makeup is lipstick. Red is my everyday color and I’ve got two perfect, long-lasting reds (one from MAC and one from Chanel). I’ve temporarily given up on my search for the right shade of purple after too…
Throwback Thursday: Polaroid, Sweatshirt and Puppy From 1982
Here’s a really old photo — a Polaroid, in fact — for Throwback Thursday. I had recently turned 14 in this picture from 1982. As you can tell from the name of my Shih Tzu puppy, my love for the Beatles was in full effect. (Even though Paul was my favorite Beatle, the dog was…
“Any Way You Want It” Jewelry
The first concert I ever went to was Journey. The show was at what was then called the Brendan Byrne Arena in New Jersey. I’m wondering if it was one of the Journey concerts I see listed for that venue for May 1983, which would have made me 15. Is that an advanced age for a concert…

Customer of the Day: Brenda DiForte and Her Genie Necklace
When gorgeous client Brenda DiForte sent me this picture of herself wearing her new 18K-gold teeny genie necklace, I immediately asked if I could share it. Look at how adorable she is! She emailed me, “Obsessed with my genie necklace! It’s been my go-to piece!” That’s a major compliment because Brenda studied jewelry design at…
In Concert in NYC: Anya Marina, Tristan Prettyman and Pink
Earlier this month, Lindsay Lohan — the once-promising actress and former customer of mine who is now best known as a death-pool perennial — avoided a stint in jail by agreeing to spend 90 days in rehab. When the news came out, I immediately thought of singers Tristan Prettyman and Anya Marina, who have a…
Throwback Thursday: 1996 Dress, Hair and Photobomb
I’ve always had a passion for cherry prints. I got a Louis Vuitton Cerise cherry-print bag in 2005 in part because it reminded me of a satin-y Cynthia Rowley cherry-print dress that I wore in 1996. I got the dress at a sample sale and I was so happy with it. I wore it with…
