I remember asking Bill Cunningham’s muse Tziporah Salmon about developing her eye for fashion. She paused for a minute, and then said, “you know, you’re a writer, so you read writing that inspires you. You delve into the craft as a consumer, a fan, which may...
My boyfriend talked through Selena once. If you know me, you know what a problem this is. Imagine your song comes on and someone insists on talking through your favorite part. That's how I felt. The whole movie. Don't worry, he won't know that I'm telling you this. He sensed...
I’m a marketer’s dream. I completely buy into stories. I’m looking for the perfect new scent. I’ve been looking for just the one that’s going to capture what I have to say. I know, I know. Scents don’t speak. But I want mine to. I’d love to be able to...

If we're to believe the New York Times, falling in love is as simple as answering 37 questions and then making direct eye contact. I read an article stating such in bed early one Monday (after hitting snooze twice) and decided that I believed it. While I...
I wore shorts the other day. Lace shorts, without tights. Hold on, wait. So maybe, just maybe, I am a little excited about getting dressed and having a place to go again. I’ve been temping for two fashion companies. It isn't so bad. On some days, I work work in...
