The Full Monty on Tess

Posted on:

Definition: The Full Monty:  A British slang phrase.  It is generally used to mean "everything which is necessary, appropriate, or possible; ‘the works’" .     .     . Over the years, I have always asked people where did you get that shoe, that dress, that bag (hence the "I had to ask" section).  So much so that I wanted to start a wardrobe series that goes further. First up is Tess Rueth who I met at her home in Brooklyn.  Fendi heels from the Fendi boutique  Fendi bag from Barneys "The Fendi…

Skin Inc. Serums

Posted on:

It’s only recent that I’ve been more keen on taking care of my skin. I’ve never really used any products other than lotion and Aquaphor since I have super sensitive skin with eczema. However, as I get older and from being under the sun when surfing, I noticed that I keep getting these small wrinkles… Read More

At Lincoln Center

Posted on:

I met this striking woman while walking through Lincoln Center over the weekend. It looks like she could have just walked out of the pages of a fashion editorial with her perfectly coiffed hair, incredible orange lenses, and beautiful suit and accessories. I love walking around the city and finding so much inspiration on the streets. This woman is true original.

MR Crystal Ball: Kookoo for Kaftans

Posted on:

Where cargo shorts fail, barrettes never do and where barrettes meet defeat, kaftans, the magna-shatra holy grail hit more home-runs than Babe Ruth ever did during his tenure as a soccer player. (I’m kidding! I know Babe Ruth played hockey! Duh.) Now, by the transitive property of geometry, you should be able to deduce the universal truth that barrettes > cargo shorts and kaftans > than barrettes so, kaftans are also > than cargo shorts, making them the best Man Repeller Crystal Ball subject since the …

to be adored

Posted on:

happy friday! i had a very busy week – right smack in the middle, i was fortunate to get to sneak a peak at warby parker’s upcoming line. i first started wearing glasses in high school, but my prescription was so weak that i never really wore them; finally, just recently, i came to terms with the fact that not being able to identify friends and regulars that come into the bakery and say hello, a mere 10 or so feet away, is totally unacceptable. i’ve been wearing contact lenses, but i’m …

Lisboa City Guide

Posted on:

After an early morning flight from Paris, we landed bright and early in Lisbon at 8am. From the airport, we took the Aerobus into town then walked to our apartment – the Conde Barão Apartments. We were pretty unlucky with the weather when we arrived in Lisbon; it must have rained and shined consecutively for about four times! The weather did get better after our first day though, so we’re not complaining! DAY ONE We spent some of our first day shopping at Colombo – one of Europe’s …
