In last week’s video, I talked about how musicians and other celebrities can get free jewelry from me. It’s easy! There’s just one catch: If they ask, I’ll refuse them while laughing an evil laugh. Angelina Jolie Evil Laugh GIF from Angelinajolie GIFs Trust me, it’s the evil laugh that gets to them. Anyway, if…

No Giant Glove, No Love
I’ve never forgotten the ultra-long gloves my designing friend Stacy Lomman and I saw at Brioni in 2010. At first I found them to be highlarious. Stacy thought they would be good for an elephant costume. But then she slowly and patiently put one on and it looked fabulous! I swear, I’ve been waiting for…

A Jacket Both Fashion Forward and Nostalgic
My enthusiasm for floofy, puffy, and ruffled clothes has been on the upswing for years now, so I don’t know why I forgot to share this gorgeous puffer jacket I saw in November! This piece is by Mona Ye, and I saw it at an exhibit of student work at the Fashion Institute of Technology….
Wednesday’s Video: How to Get Free Jewelry
Last month, I did a video about celebrities who think they’re entitled to free clothes. I explained that sample sizes — by definition — are not “one size fits all,” so it’s not a personal insult if a dress designed for one particular model to wear a single time on a runway doesn’t magically fit…
The Floofiest of the Floof
I’ve been an enthusiastic observer of floofy dresses on the red carpet since 2015 (as well as the proud owner of various puffy and floofy jackets). Go ahead, compare to the look to a bath sponge … I still love it. Rihanna vs a bath loofah! Who wore it better?? pic.twitter.com/K4qqlf2NW7 — Cal Cagno Radio…
Act Fast to Live Long and Prosper
Last fall, I announced that I’m discontinuing my silver jewelry collection to concentrate on my true loves: 18K gold and platinum. As I’ve gotten lower and lower in silver inventory, once in a while something unexpected turns out to have been hiding behind another piece. I’ve found an extremely limited quantity of three emoji earring…
The Week in Review
In case you missed it, here’s what was on the blog this week. Monday, March 18: I’ve always thought this vintage Patrick Kelly dress was too short/tight/cut-out to wear, but peeps have encouraged me to try it with tights so maybe I will. No promises! Wednesday, March 20: My recent Patrick Kelly video includes advice…
The Thrill of the Chase, the Art of Kintsugi
Last week, I shared an interview that Isabella Santa Maria did with me. She asked me a lot of jewelry questions, of course, but I was especially excited to answer her question about slow fashion. This week, Isabella was interviewed by the BBC. She talks about the facial scarring she has from a childhood car…
