There are even fewer places that don’t feel like home, but stand as a constant reminder that you are temporarily displaced from your normal domicile, for whatever reason. The Greenwich Hotel fits into…

BACK-TO-BLAZERS WITH MAX STUDIO
Spring is here which means several things, but the most important being – no more heavy coats! Woohoo! It’s time to drop those heavy wool peacoats, stowaway those fur stoles and bring on the blazers.

MARC JACOBS NAMED COCA-COLA LIGHT CREATIVE DIRECTOR
::Sigh:: Reason number, well, I’ve lost count at this point, why I’m jealous of Charlotte who lives in Paris. Don’t get me wrong, the US, specifically New York has some of the best parties and collaborations only available stateside. But seriously, Marc Jacobs gets named Creative Director of Coca-Cola light and creates three fabulous bottle designs; wait…

BOOK OF THE MONTH – GRACE: A MEMOIR
Whenever I think of Grace Coddington, I wonder, “What would I say if she sat next to me on the subway?” Unlike many head honchos at large publications, Grace does take the subway.

FALL/WINTER 2013 PRESS REVIEW: {EM} RESERVOIR
I don’t want to call her an “emerging designer” as she’s worked with designers such as J. Mendel, Alexander Wang, Narciso Rodriguez and Vera Wang (RTW and Bridal), but I don’t want to call her a seasoned old timer, because, well, her success is truly blossoming. {EM} Reservoir is a depiction of what women today…

GUDRUN SJÖDÉN OPENS FLAGSHIP STORE IN SOHO, NEW YORK
Gudrun was green before it became a fad that no one seems to have gotten a hang of.
