Thanks For Another Year
It’s Thanksgiving Day here in the US and the holiday season has officially begun. From now through New Year’s Day, the work pace will slow down to a skeleton crew at most places, with people’s minds on their Xmas holidays or parties. The...
Chihuly In Big D
If you’ve ever set foot inside the lobby of the Bellagio hotel in Vegas and looked up at the ceiling, you’ve seen his work. I’ve been a huge fan of this blown glass master for a very, very long time and try to catch as many of his outdoors and...
Technical Difficulty
Hi everyone, silly low-tech me tried to do an update on wordpress and caused a major fatal error on my blog. It died a brief death yesterday. Today we are trying to revive it, but the photos are not showing up. So please bear with me till we get over this technical...
Narciso Rodriguez For Kohl’s
There hasn’t been a collaboration exciting enough to talk about here for a while, but I’ve been anxiously awaiting the launch of the Narciso Rodriguez for Kohl’s line. So last Wednesday, after staying up much too late to watch the presidential...

Reindeer, Anyone?
In Australia I passed up on emu and ostrich, in South Africa I said no thanks to kudu, and more recently in Morocco I could not be talked into breaking my 22+ year streak of not eating meat for a camel burger. But sometimes, when the road takes me to signs like this...
Chanel Clutch With Chain
So in yesterday’s entry I struck out with the Kusama bag, but around every defeat there is victory waiting to happen. This has always been one of my mottos in life, and in the fashion context it’s no different. Now I’ve blogged endlessly about my...
Yayoi Kusama
One of the perks of being on the road is lucking into popup stores or roving exhibits. At the Printemps department store in Paris there was one such fun and, if I may say so, wacky show for the collaboration between Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama and Louis Vuitton. It...
Waiting For Godot
Take two hyper workaholic-shopaholic girls, throw them together during one of the more frenzied weeks in Paris, and what do you get? To tell you the truth, that could have been a very bad scenario given that SL and I were traveling together for 72 hours without ever...
