Earlier this year, I ogled a L.A.M.B. dress on the soon-to-be-defunct eLuxury. I didn’t plan to get it, but when it was reduced further I couldn’t resist. More recently, I was rummaging through my gorgeous client Melissa‘s closet (she was rummaging with me — I didn’t break into her house) and I found she had…
The Next Editor of Vogue?
The editors at the glossy fashion magazines have had a hard time deciding how to approach the economic downturn. There have been some forced-sounding articles on shopping at Target and “in your closet.” It’s time to bring in Ice-T. My main pimp, looking stylish in a $100 suit, sounded off to New York Magazine about…
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
I had a great time last night thanks to my gorgeous friend Jen, who invited me to her family’s annual outing to Carnegie Hall to see “1964…The Tribute,” an unbelievably realistic-sounding Beatles tribute band. If you closed your eyes, you’d think it was the real thing. And, if you opened your eyes (which I’d recommend…
Linda’s Got a Brand New Bag
Elle.com reports that architect-artist dude Ron Arad and Notify artistic director Maurice Ohayon joined together to create a space-age handbag for my favorite model, LindaE. Embed from Getty Images The bag doesn’t interest me nearly as much as the “four-hand” factoid from the story: “What happens when supermodel Linda Evangelista—who at her height in the…
Great Minds Think Alike … About Flowers
Gorgeous blogger Fabulous Girl and I met up for drinks at Butter on Thursday so she could show me a diamond ring that needs repair. However, I became distracted by a J. Crew ring she was wearing. After I commented on it (“Oh my God!”) two or three times, she asked me if I wanted…
Online Shopping Sadness at eLuxury
WWD is reporting that eLuxury.com is shutting down the retail part of the site over the next six months and will continue as an online magazine. Oh noes! I love that site. The spokeswoman at LVMH, which owns eLuxury, apparently took a hit off her bong and, while exhaling, claimed that the closure is “not…

I’m a Pretty Girl (So Vote for Me)
My gorgeous mother, BarbaraB, took me to see Patti Lupone in the musical Gypsy this week. I’d seen the play last March, but after a ceiling vent fell on an audience member, I couldn’t really focus on Patti’s big finale. I wanted to experience an accident-free performance before the play closes on January 11. I…
I Am the Fashion Blogger of the People
The late Tip O’Neill, a longtime Speaker of the House, once said, “All politics is local.” And I am the local representative for all you bloggers and lurkers in this small corner of the blogosphere. I come here every day, including weekends, and do my very best to make you laugh soda out your nose…
Great Minds Think Alike … About Stripes
Rewind! I meant to do a “great minds think alike” post about the vintage Clovis Ruffin dress I wore on New Year’s. The stripes are on the diagonal and so am I! Clearly Gwen Stefani agrees that black-and-white-striped, one-shoulder dresses never go out of style. Embed from Getty Images Gwen wore her dress first, but…
