Gift Bag Loot
This year is waaaaaaay better than last year! (A sign the economy is on the upswing...maybe?) Incredibly generous and overflowing to the max, gift bags are a huge perk of being a registered member of the press for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. There are a lot of...
The Show I Missed: Irina Shabayeva, Saturday, Feb 13
Stuck in the hotel room recuperating from a bad reaction to the sleeping pills I took on the plane, I unfortunately ended up missing all the shows I had intended to go to Saturday. Even though I wasn't there, I thought since the kind companies sent me an invite; the...
What Covering New York Fashion Week is Like
The February wind whips through the tall buildings here. You walk further than you think you could ever walk, then you walk some more. You go to show after show until they all blend together. You see thousands of faces inside the tent, until they all start to look...

Arrived in NY – After Almost Causing the Plane to Land Early!
Worst. Flight. Ever.My redeye out of Honolulu to Newark yesterday definitely took the cake in terms of horrible flights. And it was all of my own doing, ironically.Friday night I boarded the plane, prepared to sleep the whole 9 and a half hours to Newark. I put on...
Kapiolani to Kalakaua or Keeamoku to Kapolei?
It's funny how much and how little of the geography here we recall. How to get from here to there is still a source of contention as Hub refused the map at the rentacar place, insisting he knew Honolulu. But as we pass street after street, things start coming back....
Like Soixante Neuf? Try Forever21!
Courtesy of Singer22, the Soixante Neuf hammered ring in silver or gold will set you back about $132 or $152, respectively.I scored my similar ring (without even knowing it had been seen on Vanessa Hudgens and Kim Kardashian), at Forever21, for about $5.80. Though...

In Memory of Alexander McQueen
Lee McQueen, designer and founder of the Alexander McQueen brand, was found dead this morning in his home in London. He was such a visionary and the world of fashion will never be the same. I am shocked and saddened by this premature loss. May he rest in peace. (img...
The Beach & Shopping in Waikiki: Hawaii Photo Diary
Today proved a fruitful day. (It's funny how much stuff you can actually see and places you can go when you're like "I only have 30 minutes til I need to be somewhere!" You cram in everything and end up being particularly efficient.) In the morning we headed over to...
Spiral Girl and The Greek Korner
So we've arrived here in Hawaii and despite my forebodings the plane didn't go down in a flaming ball of carnage.However, about 2 hours into the flight my son had woken up from his nap and was lying with his head in my lap - and I noticed the guy sitting in front of...
Well, I’m Off to Hawaii!
Me and my newly-bright red hair are hopping on a plane this morning headed to Honolulu for a friend's wedding. Then Friday I'm heading to New York!Thank you for all your kind comments - especially about flying - here's hoping nothing will go wrong! (And if it does,...
New Hair and New York
I dyed my hair for my upcoming trip. L'Oreal Feria in #74 Copper Shimmer.I never dyed my hair consistently until last year, when I chopped my waist-length hair off and went short. For 6 months I was having trouble styling it, and finally I found this really awesome...
