There’s Something About My Pinkie
Here’s my latest manicure by celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival. Yes, that’s what I always call her, even to her face: “celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival.” Tracylee used Red Roses by Gelish with Night Shimmer for the polka dots.

“Wear What You Want” Icon: Cate Blanchett
Actress Cate Blanchett has become known for her bold fashion choices. I think we’d all be surprised if she turned up at an event looking merely “pretty.” Embed from Getty Images The couture gown by Givenchy that Blanchett wore to this February’s Oscars was no exception.

She Looks Like Bjorn Borg to Me
Yesterday, The Huffington Post ran my article about fashion writer Suzy Menkes’s use of the word “squaw.” The word appeared in a story about royal headpieces published in the New York Times’s T Magazine, and was used in reference to the late Princess Diana: “Then there is a cabochon emerald collar that the stately Queen…

I’ve mentioned a couple of times that I’m less politically correct than I used to be.

The Loverboy Contest Winner: Sheila of Ephemera
On Monday, I was reminiscing about rock stars who wore red pants in the ’80s. I offered to profile the first person who shared her red-clad assets in imitation of Loverboy‘s Get Lucky album cover.

Jewel of the Month: Heather’s Engagement Ring
I’m sometimes surprised by the jewelry designs that take off. When I originally designed my Siobhan perma-stacked stacking ring, I didn’t envision it evolving into an engagement ring. But evolve it did! First, gorgeous blogger Susan of Une femme d’un certain age asked me to redesign her original engagement ring, Siobhan style. I never expected…
