In light of the recent death of designer Lee McQueen, I wanted to very delicately touch on a subject that T magazine editor Stefano Tonchi brought up only days after we learned that McQueen had taken his own life. To many it seems offensive to speculate over the pains of someone else’s life so soon, and Tonchi did in fact receive a load of →

I know the last thing any of you probably want to hear more about are those damn bloggers. The B word has gone from something barely anyone recognized to a dirty little term many of us would like to see deleted. I don’t think I still fully comprehend what a blogger is, but I supposed I do enough internet perusing and ranting to be →

When I was younger I wanted to be an actress. A full-blown Hollywood star. I’d have nice cars, a couple of houses, maybe a boat and most important of all: a closet that would be the envy of every girl from New York to New Zealand. In other words, I wanted to be an actress because of the clothes. Don’t get me wrong I had a love for acting too, →

Weight is a tricky subject no matter which way you approach it. Everyone knows that the fashion industry is notorious for it’s promotion of the rail thin, emaciated body type. There is no secret that it has been under immense pressure for years from watch groups and current and former fashion insiders to steer away from advocating the dangerously skinny aesthetic. →

As a long time lover of fashion I have experienced, as with any relationship, my fair share of grievances and complaints. The two main complications in our long term standing being the elitism that runs rampant throughout the business, and the all out obsession with labels and luxury goods. I’ve never understood the appeal of wearing a price tag on your arm, but then again I’ve never really had enough money to be able to flaunt it on my arm, so perhaps I just don’t understand the psychology. →

I’ve always had a love affair with magazines. Since I was a little girl I’ve been captivated by the thrill of a fresh glossy and all the magic entangled in it’s pages. Growing up in a fairly removed midwestern town, the selection of publications was a tight web of popular favorites and conservative titles directed at the family oriented mindset of small-town America. For someone growing up with dreams of masterfully executed design and razor sharp styling, I had to make do with what was at hand. Usually my needs were sustained between the likes of Vogue, Bazaar and Elle. →

Over the last year or so there’s been a strange evolution unfolding in my midst. Instead of staying out until 4am, wrestling myself up at 8 and dripping coffee intravenously throughout the day in a feeble attempt to survive, I am instead getting 7-9 beautiful hours of sleep and waking up (marginally less distraught) to green tea →

Lately I’ve been on the search for a dress. Something simple, probably black, nothing crazy. No studs, no abstract crocodile patterns, no slashed fabrics and definitely nothing that resembles Dynasty-era Joan Collins. Sparkly, shoulder-padded gowns already had their decade, thank you very much. However as I start my semi-annual dress excursion I already know it will end badly. →

Four years ago I started a fashion blog. I wanted a visual outlet, a place to assemble and share all of the things I came across and ultimately fell in love with as I went about my days. It’s been my creative push, my inspiration and my way of asserting my individuality amongst the vast expanses of the Internet. One thought that never crossed my mind when I started blogging was to plaster my own image across my pages. →
