Happy Friday, friends! Another weekend is upon us, which means it’s time for Catalog Police, a weekly takedown of the mail-order catalog horrors arriving on our doorstep. Today, we’re discussing Anthropologie’s June catalog preview, which you can view online here. Happily, I can report that most of the outfits are delightful, including this gingham shirt, […]

My Preferred Shoes for the NYC Commute
I recently moved to a new job in the Financial District, which has completely changed my commute. For the last three years, I’ve been walking to and from an office a whopping 10 minutes away. Now, I’m trekking across town with thousands of other commuters — and yikes, subway riders can be SCARY, especially before they’ve had their […]
A Salue to the Sun
There’s a special kind of decadence in a 3-day weekend. I split my time between the city and New Jersey, yet never felt rushed Most of my meals were ice cream or BBQ and every day was filled with long, lazy walks. I love summer for its uncomplicated rhythm, and my outfits are just an extension […]

The Colorful Cubicle
A few weeks ago, I shared my delight with the MILLY for DesigNation collection available at Kohl’s. (This was by far the best design collaboration I’ve seen this year — and many of the items are still available here.) Here is another piece from the collection — a wacky and colorful pencil skirt made from […]
Food You HAVE to Try: Vol. 1
There’s a unique kind of elation when you’ve discovered a new favorite recipe or restaurant. In the past few weeks, I’ve made several such discoveries, including a sublime and simple soup and two low-key, chic and affordable NYC eateries. Here are my current foodie recommendations: 1. Dairy Free Watercress Soup This watercress soup came from Hemsley + […]
Weekend Warrior Pose
No matter the season, you can always find me in white jeans. (Here’s how I wore them in winter.) They’re crisp, they’re easy and they’re sophisticated. White jeans also go with every color in the universe — although I am partial to gray as a personal favorite. Here’s how I wore gray and white recently: You’ve […]

Can You Wear Your Wedding Dress Twice?
When I taped my episode of Say Yes To The Dress in July 2013, I told the salesperson that one of my key requirements for my dress was that it could be re-worn. I didn’t want to spend thousands of dollars (of my own money) on a dress I’d never use again. I also wanted to avoid […]
Review: My First Time Using Stitch Fix
Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about Stitch Fix, which is a sort of clothing delivery club that selects and sends you a personalized wardrobe every month. Because of my limited closet space, I am forbidden from partaking in such a service. But my talented friend Grace L. Williams has recently joined the service and has […]
The Worst of the Met Ball
I know I’m a few days late on this, but I needed a couple days to cleanse my palate after this year’s Met Ball. Over the past two decades, the Met Ball has transformed from an stodgy society dinner to an eye-popping, extravaganza crawling with international celebrities and global heavy-hitters. (It also raises a gazillion […]
