Reader Question - Preppy Staples, Part 2
I recently received this question from a reader named Paola…
I’m a sophomore in high school and I am going to attend a new school next year which is a lot bigger than my school now. I wanted to change up my style a little bit and go for the preppy look. Right now my style is somewhere between prep and hipster, mostly I just shop at places like Forever 21 and the Gap. But lately...

TJMaxx & Marshalls Fall Preview
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to visit the TJ Maxx and Marshalls fall preview. While I’ve been a huge fan of both stores for a long time - my favorite Earnest Sewn jeans, Theory blazer, and Nine West peeptoes all came from those two stores - I got to learn a little more about how they operate.
Obviously, I loved their collection of bow embellished items. Those gloves are almost...

West Coast Birthday
Friday, May 6. Worn out to dinner at Andalu in San Francisco to celebrate my 25th! I had such an amazing weekend exploring the city and seeing old friends. I wandered around the De Young, ate my fill of Mission style burritos (just kidding, I will never be able to eat enough burritos), relaxed in Dolores Park, got to meet Ella (and see her mama, too) and even explored Berkeley (if you visit,...

Katherine Kwei and Charmco NYC AW11 Preview
Last Wednesday, I got the chance to preview Katherine Kwei’s upcoming handbag line and Charmco’s 14K gold charm collection at the Thompson Hotel LES.
After enjoying dim sum, a glass of wine, and having my fortune told, we got down to business at the arts and crafts stations.
Turns out that I’m not as talented as Katherine at her signature Chinese knotting, so I moved on...
