  • DONDE FASHION, THE FIRST VISUAL SHOPPING SEARCH TOOL

    Yesterday, the first ever visual fashion search tool, Donde Fashion, launched. Some of you are like,”I don’t know what you are even saying right now!” So let me break it down.

  • THE NEXT FITNESS STAR: RACHEL NICKS

    I met Rachel when she was at Exhale in Meatpacking. It was the BurnThis event and consisted of two parts – outside running followed by a barre class with Rachel at Exhale. I opted out of the running portion for several reasons and Rachel stayed back to set up her room. Later that year, when…

  • CELEBRATING THE 4TH OF JULY WITH LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY!

    In honor of the 4th of July, our Accessory Saturday focuses on a company that’s more American than apple pie, tailgating, and football (the one where you carry the ball in your hand most of the game, not soccer). The Lincoln Motor Company has been a Ford luxury vehicle subsidiary since its addition in 1922, and…

  • INTERVIEW EXCLUSIVE|MICHELE BOHBOT OF BISOU BISOU

    There is no word to describe Michele Bohbot. She’s a feeling – an intuitive, well-connected feeling that has guided her successful career. When she was advised against joining forces with JCPenney, she followed her instincts and today reigns as their longest running design partner at 14 formidable years. In May, I had the honor of…

  • DESIGNER2WATCH|VIOLET GRAY

    Violet Gray is described as a “who” rather than a “what”, why is that?  We feel it is because she is more than just jewellery, the Violet Gray vibe is a way of life. The intention infused into each piece connects the wearer with their piece in a unique and personal way. When a woman looks…

  • INTERVIEW EXCLUSIVE|ANN SACKS OF FETCH EYEWEAR AND PIXIE PROJECT

    Your brand has a very unique and rare concept, tell us what it is. Indeed we feel that our model most closely resembles Paul Newman’s brands in that FETCH was created solely to support a charity and that 100% of profits are donated. While many retailers today donate “one for one” or a percentage of…
