Everywhere I turn this summer, it’s drop waist dresses—flirty, floaty, and secretly out to mess with your proportions.
They’ll steal inches from your legs, mock your hourglass, and dare you to wear them anyway.
My advice? Outsmart them. I’ve got the playbook

“I never have anywhere to dress up for"– I hear this from my clients all the time.

But here's what I've noticed: Two weeks ago at my kid's pre-K graduation, most of the parents showed up in shorts and t-shirts.

This weekend at the Gustav Klimt exhibition? A sea of sneakers.

That’s it. PJs are officially mainstream. Dolce & Gabbana just named their Men’s SS26 collection “Pyjama Boys” — solidifying pajamas as high fashion. Now, men are authorized to style their pj pants with blazers, neckties, moto jackets, even fur vests

Ever wondered how celebs afford those $50K red-carpet gowns without going broke? Spoiler: They rarely pay a dime. From PR loans to studio deals, the fashion game is more about strategy than spending

You absolutely can wear white before, during, and after Labor Day! Also, if you haven’t started your 'white season' yet, now’s the perfect time.

Fun fact: there's a story behind Monica's crocodile necklace. It originally belonged to Mexican superstar María Félix, who once walked into Cartier store in 1975 with a live pet baby crocodile in a cage and demanded a jeweled replica. This is what they created for her

Happy Monday—especially to those whose main character's energy is still sleeping. Pro tip for you, my fellow sweatpants lovers: create a bad-day uniform, then add a statement accessory. (Mine? Heart-shaped sunglasses. Science says you can’t frown while wearing them)

Often, I hear that the most flattering color for any person is your eyes color. Just repeat the shade on your top and look your best.
Let's have an experiment. Here is Adrien Brody photoshoot for COS. His suede jacket almost repeats the color of his hazel eyes, but does it enhance it?

According to BoF, high heels sales have been declining for years: women want comfortable shoes like ballet flats and kitten heels instead. 
It's nice to have pretty heels in your collection, but I'm terrified even remembering I wore them every day 10 years ago

Was pleasantly surprised to see so many Edwardian jabot collars in Ralph Lauren’s new Fall 2025 collection. Love how he dresses them up with heirloom brooches and then grounds with utilitarian pieces: wool bombers, moto jackets, suede, neutral knits.
Collection is called “Modern Romantics”

If you’ve ever seen Adrien Brody on the red carpet, you might have noticed a recurring theme: his striking, dramatic brooches (designed by Elsa Jin). It’s become his signature formula—a classic black tuxedo paired with a bold statement brooch, as if to say, *This is how I look my best.*

Boho isn't just a style, it's a state of mind to embrace everything that comes to your life and your wardrobe with an open heart! Almost every item can be styled in boho because it's a vibe. But of course there are always some pieces that scream “free spirit” louder than others

Mantras for today and every day:

I don’t dress to hide—I dress to celebrate

My age doesn’t limit my style—it elevates it

Looking ‘expensive’ is an effect, not a price tag.
