Dear Miss A,
Traditionally we don’t wear white shoes/handbag’s before Easter, some say before Memorial Day. Now that I mention it, I wonder which one it is? My question is in regards to straw handbags. Would the same rule apply?
Thanks,

Dear Confused,
Let me start off by saying  that I do not claim to be an expert. My [...]

A night of fashion and fun were in full effect at the Critters for a Cure event, hosted at the Bloomingdale’s in Chevy Chase, MD. This night was a smaller version of Bryant Park mixed with a dash of four-legged cuties.  This extraordinary event featured bubbly, scrumptious delights, lively music, and a variety of silent auction [...]

This St. Patrick’s Day, instead of just wearing green for the day, why not truly “go green” and make a real fashion statement? There are scores of eco-friendly companies producing clothing, shoes, and accessories from sustainable, recycled, and locally made/sourced materials. And I’m not talking about ’80s-style, boho stuff. These days, there are some incredibly [...]

Recently, I’ve been thinking a lot about how important it is to look your very best, whether you’re single, in a relationship, a mom, or childless. This is something I believe so strongly in that I never set foot in the gym without at least a coat of mascara on. That’s because the way I [...]

When I think about the “Palm Beach Princess”, Ivanka Trump definitely comes to my mind. Trump is a business woman, socialite, heiress and fashion model. She has done a fantastic job of maintaining her reputation and status. You don’t see this heiress in the tabloids doing the most ludicrous things like the other heiress’ we see today. Instead, we see her continuing [...]

My readers may recall that AskMissA.com broke the news that Carlos Allen crashed the White House State Dinner. Sanam Toossi, an AskMissA.com contributor wrote that Carlos Allen told her that he had attended the White House State Dinner on November 30, 2009, and I revealed him as the “Third Crasher” name on December 11, 2009. Well the flyer turned [...]
