Maybe it’s because the holiday season is around the corner. Maybe it’s because they look fancy. Or maybe it’s simply because I just like shiny things. Whatever the reason, sequins are on my radar at the moment and it feels like wherever I look, there’s something that’s been fabulously adorned with the gleaming little circles. [...]

It’s simple math. You take your favorite store, apply tons of markdowns and you have the shop-a-palooza of the year.
I grew up in Seattle, which is to say I grew up at Nordstrom. Every so often my mother would drive us to one of their stores and we’d marvel at all the pretty things. I’d [...]

I don’t have my ears pierced. My mom is superstitious about it and I guess I never really cared. Now that I’m paying a lot more attention to fashion, trends and stylish looks, the thought of getting my ears pierced is a recurring one. In fact, I’ve been thinking about it for about a year [...]

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week kicks off tomorrow and alas I am thousands of miles away from the iconic tents at Lincoln Center. New York City is about to dive into eight days of fashion frenzy and, while I generally hate crowds and craziness, I would love to be there to witness it all. I want to [...]

I don’t watch the Emmys, but I do check out the red carpet looks the day after. It’s not that I don’t watch the shows nominated, but that I’d rather see the short list of results afterward and peruse all the celebs in their gowns at my leisure. I’m always interested in seeing the gowns. [...]
