Hi friends. I know I’ve been gone, but I’m baaack! due to (other than guilt and genuine interest in rekindling my blogging fire) my bro-friend David threatening to un-RSS feed me/festo, which seemed a fate too scary to face. But really, to be honest, I’ve been kind of writer blocked. Nothing in my life seemed [...]

while watching endless summer, i came up with a brief sartorial summer to-buy list. this is it: 1. baggy cuffed denim shorts 2. super ugly pair of wooden-soled shoes 3. straw boater hat 4. a “boyfriend” blazer (i hate that phrase, it’s almost as bad as a ”wifebeater” tank top) [...]

my father, an avid cyclist who’s been wearing spandex and shaving his legs since the early 70s, insists that adeline adeline (profiled in today’s nytimes) can’t possibly be a real bike store. we beg to differ! adeline adeline (147 reade street) was founded by a graphic designer who did not want a racing bicycle or [...]

At some point I’ll publish a guide to the best Brooklyn (Ok, probably just Williamsburg) boutiques, but until then, I NEED you to see what I spy from my kitchen window every night (and for which I have developed a platonic love): Ok, this bag is actually part of a much more fabulous display at [...]

On a lazy Sunday afternoon, on a mission to find obscure superfoods/raw milk (damn your wimpy dairy section, Urban Rustic!), I wandered into an apothecary at the fabulous Woodley & Bunny salon-cum-beauty-center off the Bedford stop in trendy-to-death Williamsburg.

the best part of fashion week, is the fashion shows. the second best part (or first best, if you do not have an invitation to go inside) is the opportunity to ogle the passers-by and take notes on the trends that are to come. in paris in 2007 we saw demolished hosiery, blazers blazers blazers, [...]
