Did you watch the Emmys on Sunday evening? I love watching the Emmys because it is so very often the most fun of the awards shows to watch. And it tends to have the best fashion. This year did not disappoint as there was a nice mix of pretty and safe and amazing and risky….
bang bang
This post is an ode to Bangs. Bangs are a huge part of my life. Throughout my 25 years I have had short bangs, long bangs, blunt straight bangs, wispy wavy bangs, sides-wept to the left bangs, side-swept to the right bangs, center bangs. You name the bang look, I’ve had it. This is partly…
bonfire of the vanities
I love pretty things that sit on vanities. Having them to look at and enjoy makes my morning (or midday, or evening) ritual of getting ready all the more special. Vintage-inspired perfume bottles, lotions and potions with lovely labels, vibrant colors of makeup to be put on with soft bristle brushes, and of course, Chanel….

Jak & Jil blog posted these street style photos earlier this week of some very chic ladies carrying the latest “it” bag in the fashion scene- the Céline Classic Box Bag – during Paris & NY Fashion Week. I am…
strawberry fields forever
One of my favorite summertime treats is fresh strawberry ice cream in a cone in the afternoon. My hometown has the best, and cutest, little ice cream shop downtown, Mora (Spanish & Italian for Blackberry). The business was started by a couple from Argentina (which, apparently, has amazing ice cream) and they make all of the…
