While my cousin is away, I’m filling in again! I don’t know about you, but I’m so sick and tired of this weather I’ve decided to throw caution to the wind and dress like a model (not a celebrity) in a Vogue photo shoot and wear silk and suede in the rain. After that I’m going to roll in the [...]

Yes, folks, this is the most irritating time of year. Every website, magazine and blog under the sun offers strategies and magic spells for making you thinner, smarter, kinder and/or somehow worthy of your own Lifetime makeover show. Indeed. Well, as hilarious as these promises might be (who doesn’t want a machine for only $19.99 to take those years of [...]

While Heatherbelle is away her second cousin, Theodora is filling in for her. We’re halfway through fall, and have therefore pretty much mastered what’s trendy and what’s not so trendy this season. The perfect way to wrap up fall and inch a bit closer to winter is by finding the perfect scarf. Sometimes we suffer for fashion (like wearing those [...]

I forgive anyone for their summer fashion faux pas. Afterall, it’s hot, everyone is cranky and the fact of the matter is that most people are just distracted with the worry that their upper arms and thighs look like crap. However, when fall rolls around just about any excuse for a supreme fashion mistake just falls short. Let’s face it: [...]

Please note: I am not in any way opposed to anything ridiculous, but I am not under the illusion that I am in any way “eclectic” (translation: rich enough to tell others to really piss off) enough to really pull it off. So when the Baroque trend arrived this fall with all of its sumptuous charm – complete with fashion [...]

Forget about the “classic” and the “it” bag, the Bbag is what you want to look for this season Somewhere between the classic bag that you will have until they bury you in your Chanel suit and the oddly colored it bag that you purchased in 2005 because too much vino at 3am persuaded you to think that some overpaid [...]

Maybe it’s the dreamy Downton Abbey-inspired frenzy for tea, frocks and a dream to be called “her ladyship,” or maybe it’s just the inevitable banality of the summer wardrobe, but fall is the season for those who love, well to indulge the whimsy, fantasy and escapade that is fashion. (That’s why I also say lose the twenty pounds in the [...]

I confess: I resemble Sleeping Beauty’s Maleficent more than Snow White. Still, whether you’re a fan of Snow White courtesy of the chirpy and somewhat banal Julia Roberts’ queen or the somewhat more nuanced and inspiring Kristin Stewart performance in Snow White and the Huntsman, why not banish boredom with a little cinematic inspiration. Can you guess which fairy tale [...]

Sure you could invest in those summer sandals that will fall apart by the time the end of June is starting to kick off the summer, or you could actually buy something that will take you into fall and beyond. You shouldn’t need a degree in economics to figure this one out. The summer season isn’t only about the bags [...]

Confession: It’s only sexy to get caught in the rain when you’re watching it on film. In reality, what seems like it could be a moment of passion is a hot mess of matted hair, sticky clothes, running mascara and the overwhelming thought that you could have just ruined your new $3k bag. But fret not, there are chic options [...]
