The Stunning, Sensual Sari

July 21, 2010

You know what I love most about the fashion blogging world? Meeting fascinating fashion lovers in faroff places. Somehow (I can’t quite recall), I discovered the exquisitely gorgeous (and equally brilliant) Leia, of Leia’s Delights, or she discovered me. Once I began reading her blog regularly, I was hooked. I have so enjoyed learning about the food [...]

The ABCs of Jersey Style

July 19, 2010

In case you haven’t noticed, New Jersey is the new black. Although reality TV is suddenly saturated with all things Joisey—Real Housewives of New Jersey, Jersey Shore, Jerseylicious, Jersey Couture—Jersey’s climb from red-headed stepchild to golden child has been years in the making.

StyleShot: Dita Von Teese + JPG

July 12, 2010

I’m seeing a lot of the same images from the fall/winter 2010-2011 haute couture Paris shows floating around on blogs, but no one seems to be very interested in my favorite shots: Dita Von Teese as she appeared in Jean Paul Gaultier’s show.

StyleShot: Amanda Deer Jewelry and Design

June 10, 2010

I love Twitter. It’s because of the little blue bird that I met a sweet little deer. I discovered Amanda Deer Jewelry and Design after Amanda contacted me on Twitter, and I fell in love instantly.
