Fashion Week: Peacock Colors

Forgive me for not posting since last week. I’ve been consumed by New York Fashion Week. Unfortunately I didn’t get to actually go to the shows, but I held down the fort from my laptop.

Shopping Trip: Portobello Road

No, I didn’t pop off to London. I wish. But I did make it to Chestnut Hill and finally (finally!) checked out the Portobello Road boutique. It’s owned by two local women with wanderlust and exquisite taste, Marina Kalb and Kristina Lyons. It’s their private version of Anthropologie. It works.

Looking Back: I Heart Rainbows

My sister just posted this old photo on Facebook. It’s a picture of her and her BFF Vicki on Halloween in my bedroom, circa 1982. (You needn’t do the math – I was 14.) I’m not quite sure what they’re supposed to be, other than examples of atrocious ’80s style. (Come to think of [...]

First.

First I was Stylexpert. It was my AOL screen name, cleverly concocted way back when. Soon, I worked for the Style Channel, a joint venture between Fairchild Publications and AOL, and the name stuck. I also founded a site called Stylexperts.com. Marc Jacobs, Todd Oldham, Kate Spade, and Vera Wang doled out style advice, joined [...]
