The most surprising trend to emerge from the resort collections (i.e, clothes to buy now) and spring 2015 (clothes to buy soon) is the all-weather, all-ages, naïve-yet-knowing frock in snowy lace. The LWD is fashion's most alluring new staple and, let's face it, you probably don't own it . .

The Air

New York reminded me today why I loved living here again. The summer’s grime had just enough raw winter nights to make the streets feel clean again and the air was nippy, and honest. I love this place.

I’ve been thinking a lot about what holidays mean for people in their early twenties without children, and in the midst of fighting for their dream jobs, or creating something they are proud of. It’s a bizarre time of self-evaluation. Today, over tea and the best treats at Mansion Lauduree’ Soho, it was all about dressing for comfort. A best friend passed down this vintage PJ suit (CatID Kerrin), and I truly could not love it more. I think New York almost forces you to mix elements of clothing, maybe that one would not first think of as workable for a look. Sneakers have become such a phenomenon, but such a key part in my surviving actual walking in the city, and they really take nothing away from you’re outfit, (if anything the element of practicality is sexy).  XXX C

How Could Anyone Say No to This ?

How Could Anyone Say No to This ?

It’s almost surreal how quickly the holiDAZE go from Thanksgiving to Christmas, from stuffing our faces to now needing to scramble and find gifts for everyone you like, and some people you don’t’. Over this last holiday weekend, I was watching Saturday Night Live, and Chris Rock made it all very clear. It is a bit, well, selfish, making Jesus’s birthday a gift giving occasion for us commoners, for those of us who are not Jesus, so, EVERYONE. For all of you who know me, and for those of you who don’t, I am spiritual, not religious, (queue snickering or general bullshit- o- meter), but seriously churches scare me, and I don’t like cults. I like to think of myself as a powerful being full of energy and light, and I pray about that sometimes, (either that or its exact bumper sticker we had on the Subaru growing up, that we found at the local health food store where we went to buy granola and other hippie essentials ;0). We have since graduated to British engineering, (thank god), but the mint green Subaru holds a special place in my soul maybe even as a messiah.  So looking into this Christmas to come, let’s talk gifts
