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 [...]

Half-price drinks, discounted hors d’oeuvres, and FASHION ADVICE?  What’s not to love!?  The “What’s Hip Wednesday’s” event at the Historic Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables Florida is the brain child of television personality “Trend Tracker” Tara Gilani. Occurring every Wednesday in a lounge and jazz setting, the evening casually showcases styles from Neiman Marcus Coral [...]

One perk of being on the Vogue 100 list with amazing women such as Leslie M.M. Blume, Lisa Salzer, Dr. Carolyn Chang, Kate Roberts, and my friend Katie Rost is that Vogue keeps me in the loop on the amazing things they are doing.
Today, Vogue announced the launch of Vogue Stylist, an interactive fashion genius! Fusing the [...]

So we’re well on our way through the first quarter of 2010, and even though fall collections just wrapped at New York Fashion Week, trends for 2010 were actually established by the spring/summer 2010 shows back in September—but really, who can even remember that far back?

The fall 2010 collection by Victoria Beckham is exactly what Victoria herself has come to be: sexy yet elegant, refined but with [...]

I recently got a look at the Jean Paul Gaultier collection for Target, and unlike previous collections offered up by high-end designers like Rodarte and Zac Posen, I actually like this one. And apparently I’m not in the minority on the Rodarte/Target disaster. Pieces are still on the racks, even at sale prices. The Mulleavy [...]

 
“It’s the most wonderful time of the year….” Well at least to a fashionista it is. New York’s Mercedes Benz Fashion Week began yesterday, which is the equivalent of the superbowl in the style world. From legends like Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger to up-and-comers like Christian Siriano and TWINKLE by Wenlan, designers from all over [...]

 
Up-and-coming designers, Fatima Monkush and Nyla Hashmi showcase the inaugural collection for their Eva Khurshid line at Oriana Khatso’s Terra boutique in Dupont Circle. The line melds the conservative mores of the designers’ own culture with the Western professional woman to give a new take on what’s sexy. The Eva Khurshid woman does not participate [...]
