“Personality begins where comparison ends.”
– Karl Lagerfeld

Style is in your hands. Fashion, health, leisure, emotion, and satisfaction are determined by you. Interpretation is personal and the key to confidence. I offer you my opinion in hope you venture outside of your comfortable box. Most importantly, remember, don't take anything too seriously. Just have fun with it.

Really, ask me anything, don't be shy. I'm not!

As you read, please excuse the mishaps. We're still under construction here. But I'll tell you this much, the tumblr is much cleaner than my apartment after several sleepless nights. Unfortunately I don't know how to clean a website, but I guess I could pick up my shoes....

Sitting at lunch on Saturday at Sant Ambroeus on the corner of West 4th and Perry, I was inspired to play “The Sartorialist.”  If you’re unfamiliar with The Sartorialist, it’s Scott Schuman’s blog of fabulous photos of trendy people in fashion capitals around the world. Everyone who walked passed had their own very unique style, but the common thread was the fact they were all stylish.  I was pleasantly surprised. My Canon camera with a fully zoomed lense didn’t seem to focus properly.   And my amateur snap-them-as-they-pass strategy didn’t help the situation. But look at it this way, the quality can only get better :)

Grabbing some pics from runway shows for a fall fashion review. First of all, I thought, what the hell is this guy wearing?? Thom Browne, I know you have a sense of humor, but…. Then, I see Julia looking at me!  Pretty cool.

The Shit We Hear All The Time, But We Need To Hear It Again


Readers write me constantly asking me how I stay thin, what do I eat, how often do I work out, how can they motivate to get to the gym, do they really have to not eat bread, etc.  I totally get it, I ask myself the same questions, but the truth of the matter is, we all know the answers, we just don’t like them.  So, I’m going to remind you again, because I need to tell myself too!

  1. Don’t finish your meal that is enough for 3 people.  Eat slowly and STOP when you’re full.  Portion control, easier said than done.
  2. Veggies, you need them.  The best way to eat them is raw.
  3. Take off half the bread on your sandwich.
  4. Put the smallest amount of dressing possible on your salad.
  5. DO NOT DRINK SODA.
  6. Carbs, again, portion control, and not for dinner if possible.
  7. Let yourself have dessert so you don’t splurge.  And you know it’s coming…portion control!
  8. The best breakfast you can have is fresh squeezed juice.  THAT’S IT.  Don’t even buy the cereal.  Have a large orange, apple, grapefruit, or green.
  9. Yes. Pizza, fries, red meat, and sugar are all bad for you, but enjoy them anyway.  JUST CONTROL HOW MUCH YOU EAT OF THEM.
  10. Exercise, not only will you look better, you’ll feel better.

I hope this helps.  Never easy to hear.

A reader sent me to this Breakfast Blog.  It’s like The Sartorialist for morning meals: fashionable food beautifully photographed for pure adoration and no need for commentary. I love it!

THE JOKE IS ON ME


I actually thought I wrote Prince when I said Elizabeth.  You win this one Frangry, but you’re still the stupid bitch.

Dear Mary Rambin,


frangry:

“I understand that you are trying to be helpful and informative with this post, but you are fucking retarded. You are sending your readers to a location that DOES NOT EXIST. Mulberry and Elizabeth run PARALLEL to one another!… “

Actually they intersect you stupid bitch.  And here’s a tip for you: your snark makes YOU look stupid and pathetic.  I hope you find better ways to spend your time because I’m tired of seeing you reblog my posts.

Wow, that felt good.

On the weekends, local designers sell their wares all over Soho, but you’ll find the best stuff (and a great selection of hats) on Elizabeth street at Mulberry.

Today’s lunch/drinking-way-too-much scene at Diva in Soho. Everyone here is beautiful! Barbara (with her hands up on the left) is a Victoria’s Secret model from Houston. She says she went to Kinkaid a few years before I did.

No I’m not headed to the beach, I’m just feeling beachy. The funny thing about this dress is that I’ve had it since highschool, and not only does it still look good, but I also get a million compliments when I wear it. Thanks Urban Outfitters! I bought the hat in December for a trip to Cabo and haven’t worn it since. I saw it sitting in my closet today and thought why not. And it’s perfect coverage for my barely-there hair. Sunnies by Gucci.

Step two in the restoration of my hair: highlights by Rafael. He is the only stylist I’ve met that understands that “really blonde” doesn’t mean white. Rafael lives in NYC now, but he goes back to Houston for a week every month to do clients at Tranquility spa on Post Oak.

Heft’s friend just came over. Talk about walk of shame!! My favorite part is that she had no idea the shorts were inside out. Too funny!
