The Royal Treatment







Purple dyes were once a rare commodity - only royalty could afford goods in the precious color. This season - purple is a HUGE trend. All shades from lavender to magenta are on clothes, accessories and stationery. This is why I think it will make the ideal theme color for my friend's upcoming wedding. I think it will be tastefully perfect for an October wedding that is going to be traditional and stylish.

Posh Girl Vintage







Posh Girl Vintage is an online retailer that offers basically one-of-a-kind vintage apparel from all decades of the twentieth century. I check their dresses from time to time with hopes of someday having an occasion to wear one to. They are fun to look at and reminisce about my grandmother - who owned an extensive costume jewelry collection and grew up in an era where skirts were the dress code for everyday. Most of all these dresses look like they would be fun to wear. They are the kind of outfits that make you feel like a girl.

Heading towards 2010





Irvington-based millinery designer, Meagan Swinney was gracious enough to share complimentary samples of her Spring 2010 headband line at last night's New Year's Eve bash. The pieces are versatile, displaying a thoughtful palette and fun textures. As you could see, they went over incredibly well!

Something Blue













A friend of mine is getting married in a blue Monique Lhuillier dress. I instinctively began thinking about the endless shoe and accessory options that await her. I have made it a personal (and unsolicited) mission to unearth some really dazzling and unique fashion finds for the colorful bride-to-be.

Happy Birthday Barbie


Christian Leboutin was commissioned by Mattel to create these pink pumps.

Two of my favorites from my personal collection.


This year marked the 50th anniversary of Barbie. In celebration of her birthday, Jonathon Adler designed a full scale Malibu mansion in honor of her Dream House. I, of course, think this is brilliant. She celebrated her 50th globally with numerous corporations participating in specialized merchandise, including Pottery Barn Kids and Dylan's Candy Bar.

Although Barbie has numerous critics, I am definitely not one of them. I LOVE Barbie. I say that in present tense because my love for her as a child has never diminished. I find her to be an icon - she is both beautiful and an inspiration.
