A big thank you to my Sydney-based friend Jamie who spotted this in The Sydney Morning Herald and shared it with me. Even with the misspelling of my name (who can blame them, it is bizarre) and the fact that I don’t live in New York (I am deliberately evasive), I’m still HUGELY flattered to [...]

What a crazy, exhilarating, exhausting, fantastic year it has been! I kicked off 2010 in Sydney, Australia where I took my first stab at outfit posts, and comments on posts were in the single-digits (if).
