Now it’s MY turn for a “clarification”…

Oy vey. What a spectacular, disturbing last two days it’s been. Never in a million years did I think I’d be at the epicenter of a plagiarism scandal apparently involving the darling of the young adult (YA) book world. Never in a million years did I think I’d have to defend myself as the victim. But as [...]

Instagram + Statigram = Insta Heaven

In just a couple of weeks, I will have spent a year using the wildly popular, Apple iPhone-based Instagram app (which also happens to be free…how about them apples?).  It’s kind of hard to imagine life before Instagram—it has become such huge part of my everyday existence that I’m loathe to think of the day that [...]

Pardon My French

I generally don’t like to regurgitate content that is sure to be covered heavily by fashion media, but I couldn’t resist this video, Pardon My French, by Garance Doré  (discovered on Stylelist). I’ve written about Garance before…I just adore her illustrations, her photos, and especially her videos. This one is so charming, and speaks to the craziness [...]

Just what I need to deal with right now. I open up the email and find (in true B [...]

I was so fortunate to have been invited to participate in the IFB conferences in February and September, to speak at Blogger Brilliance, to travel to Barcelona for an MNG by MANGO photo shoot, and more! You’d think with all that excitement, I’d be on [...]

Remember the IFB Conference waaaay back in September? The one where I got to be on a panel in New York? I know. Seems like eons ago. At any rate, the video summary for my panel is out…yay! Thanks again to Jennine of Independent Fashion Bloggers for inviting me to participate. I think Sammy did [...]

Lord have mercy. I don’t know how people do it during fashion weeks. Planes, trains, taxis, outfits, walking, walking, walking, photos, tweets, posts, links—AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I haven’t even done the half of it, but two conferences in two different cities a week apart has been quite the adventure. I am spent and grateful, however, to have [...]
