Years ago on one of my first trips to Paris I was walking, exploring and bouncing around (I don’t want to digress but walking and seeing where you randomly end up is one of the greatest things to do in Paris) when I stumbled on a cute lingerie shop on Rue St. Honore where the shopgirl, and I use the term ‘girl’ lightly as she was closer to my mom’s age than mine, insisted on measuring me for my proper bra size. It was the first time since middle school that I had done that and as it Continue reading
Last night Barney’s New York hosted a private dinner at Bouchon in Beverly Hills co-hosted by Christina Hendricks to celebrate stylist/designer L’Wren Scott‘s new handbag line which is being sold exclusively at Barney’s.

Sepalcure, which is Travis Stewart of Machinedrum and Praveen Sharma, is releasing a self-titled debut LP November 21st. I love love love this track, “Pencil Pimp,” and the video. Obsessed.

I wax poetic about it on Huffington Post this week so for the full fashion love fest click here.
