Just got back from the Ports 1961 Sample Sale and you should go now. Not only did I score the amazing shrug (runway piece) seen above for $40, but also a gorgeous cashmere sweater for $35, a sheer sheath for $25, and a blue striped coat (which is beautifully finished inside) for $75. I’m on a high.

Some people feel compelled to help old ladies cross the street. I feel the same pull when I see a huge bowl of fresh guacamole.
Ah, sweet, sweet guacamole.
The minute I tried on the extraordinary Stars of Africa rings by Royal Asscher my heart sank. Seriously, watching diamonds dance beautifully in a globe on my finger is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen – gorgeous!
By the way, my birthday is this month – on the 19th, actually. Also, this ring goes on sale at Neiman Marcus next week. Ok, I’m done. Now go back and look at those diamonds.
As many of you know, I am the editor of StyledOn and produce about 3/5 stories a day there on all things lifestyle. There, I started an editorial series that focuses on stylists in an effort to share their work with a larger community and also to give aspiring stylists a bit of incite into the biz.
The first piece of the series was done on Ise White. I’m not really sure why I like Ise’s work so much, but I do and so thought I might share it with you here. To be honest with you, I can’t wait to see how her career grows and the future editor stories she’s able to create – see the feature here.

This past Halloween I dressed up as a mummy. I painted my body white and then carefully wrapped myself up. The minute I walked outside of my apartment I started to come undone. And there was hardly a taxi cab in sight that night. sigh.
I always think that maybe I should just buy a costume and forego the pain, costs and drama of the DIY, but nooo. I’ll probably never buy a pre-made costume. Anyway. Hope you had a fabulous Halloween. My Oliver was a gorilla and his father was a big banana. Xx
I’m returning to ThoseExtra4Inches. I miss documenting my random musings here. Miss me much? Xx
You’ll have to stay tuned to StyledOn for the post on this and another exhibit at Deitch,
but I just had to share this picture with you right now:
I love my job and know I am fortunate to work in an industry that I’m truly passionate about. What I don’t love is that many times I take that love too far. Like today, for example, I wore my fabulous printed Roger Vivier pumps all around the city, and now the bones in my feet feel as if they are going to push their way through my skin. I might never be able to walk again. But anyway, onto New York Fashion Week and the Spring 2010 collections…
Yesterday I stopped by a presentation for A La Disposition (I now want a coat with a bustle), I ducked into 2 events at store in SoHo, had dinner with my girlfriend and happened to see Dina, Yael and Tamar – otherwise known as the Magnes Sisters – towards the end of our meal.
Today I started off the day at a medioche presentation, met Kelly (a new favorite publicist of mine) at the Society of Illustrators to preview the new science fiction installation and have a quick bite in the cafe before heading out to meet LaQuan Smith and Telfar. Let me tell you guys – LaQuan Smith is awesome. He might have a lot to learn, but he’ll get there (and soon). I die for his neon dresses and sooo much more. (I’m also going to do a feature on him in the coming weeks for StyledOn, so you better start reading that as well!)
I watched Chanel Iman walk the runway for Rosa Cha (which was rather good, actually). I saw a few other things not worth mentioning. Unfortunately I missed the Cuz Love Killz show (a grafitti-inspired collection), which I really wanted to check out.
And then there was Fashion’s Night Out… and for me, it was all about Nicole Romano and the Plaza. Very successful event and I wore the sexiest little tuxedo shorts and one of her amazing tassel necklaces.
Tomorrow I have a crazy schedule: Alejandro Ingelmo (SHOES!!) | Yigal Azrouel | Copperwheat | Ideeen | Luca Luca | Nicole Miller | Costello Tagliapietra | Indashio | Persona Party with Amber Rose, Russel Simmons & Kanye West
I had better get a good night’s sleep because my toes are still numb and I can barely type. ‘night!!
I will be at Nicole Romano’s event during Fashion’s Night Out and you better be as well. Seriously – get all dressed up, wear some killer jewelry (or pick some up at Nicole’s store), enjoy some free wine, and be filmed for the designer’s upcoming Japanese fashion documentary.
Want to know more about Fashion’s Night Out, read my recent articles (here & here) on it for StyledOn…
So Fashion Week is upon us – time to start scoring some swag…

Well guys, the second Sex and the City movie has just begun filming. And although I don’t necessarily think there should be a second movie, I was still super excited to see the first images of Carrie leaked onto the web just now!
Wearing a simple ivory sheath, gold Chanel clutch, what appears to be leopard Louboutins (could be sequined?), gold mirrored sunnies, and a great statement necklace, our leading lady is looking fine. Mr Big – I mean, John – had better behave.
While this look is definitely one I would rock, I can’t wait for some of the more extreme fashion moments that you know are sure to come! Waiting for the shots of crazy OTK printed boots (or maybe the editorially-awesome laser-cut Stella McCartneys), some huge fur, an insane hat or two, Minx Nails, a new belt to lust after, crazy jewelry, and hopefully an epic battle of prints. Come on, Patricia Field, answer my prayers.
Sex and the City 2 is scheduled to be released on May 28, 2010 – start planning your outfits now, girls!
