Summer brings to mind ideas of lightness and floral undertones, possibly mixed with citrus or berry. I can’t handle berry scents, reminds me too much of middle school chapstick that you ruin drawing pictures on desks, so I steal my brother’s shower gel instead. For a slight spin on summer scents, in the shower use [...]

Valentine’s Day has never really meant much to me, probably because I’ve never had anything that so much as resembles a relationship that’s lasted longer than 3 weeks. I usually just get underwear from my grandmother. I did get a rose once from a boy in high school. I kinda freaked out. He never talked [...]

I’m just going to say it: Career Service’s Interview Dress Guide is crap. I agree with the whole “understated” and “conservative” angle. But “skin-colored hoisery” and “portfolio in place of handbag or purse”? Don’t think so. I had 18 interviews this fall and in every single one of them I watched a parade of people [...]

Happy Halloween! John Galliano’s show in Paris a few weeks ago was the only one that I felt appropriately represented the ostentatiousness and deviousness of this particular holiday. Enjoy! 1. Leave the Tags – Hey look, another trench coat. I don’t love the cut of this one because, if you have hips of any sort, [...]

In the world of fashion, a Buyer, like Erin Mullaney at Browns, is one of the people who, after the dust has settled on the fashion shows, makes things happen. They are part of the select group of people who filter designers’ masterpieces into wearable, sellable pieces. They are the people who help select which [...]

I think so. Today I broke out the Oxford shoes I bought in Paris last fall, paired them with my military jacket and was set to go. Too bad I had nowhere to go. Instead, I finished all my work for the entire week. Now what do I do? Muse. – Lady GaGa has some [...]

I’m feeling very “Annie Leibovitz” today, minus the whole bankruptcy thing. Black and gray clothing, messy hair, basic (sun)glasses, boots, brooding yet content. Other things on my mind today: – Robert Shiller’s article on Financial Innovation in the FT. I find his choice of venue just as interesting as his choice of argument. – Bye [...]

I haven’t had nearly enough time as I would like to watch the Spring/Summer 2010 fashion shows. (To date, there has been New York, London and Milan. Paris is next.) But, here’s a sampling of what I’m liking so far and what I hope to see more of. Images via NYMag
