All over the runway and the streets of NYC is a style easily called Boho (or Grandma) chic. In the colder months it consists of artfully layering on pieces in a way that might look haphazard but in reality shows a clever mixing of patterns or textures. The key is to keep them fitted enough not to overwhelm your frame...not always as easy as it looks but utterly arresting when it works.

** Update: Lisa Mende, you are the Winner! Congrats **

Ca in fiecare an pentru Premiile Oscar stilistii muncesc din greu cautand in cele mai noi colectii sau in arhive rochii si bijuterii care sa le faca pe vedetele invitate sa straluceasca, sa arate impecabil si sa ajunga in lista celor bine imbracati.
Preferatele mele in acest an sunt:
Nicole Kidman in Dior haute couture, diamante vintage Fred Leighton si pantofi Pierre Hardy

Gwyneth Paltrow a optat pentru o rochie minimalista,care ii urmareste linia corpului, semnata Calvin Klein Collection la care a adaugat Louis Vuitton high jewelry

Anne Hathaway a sosit la ceremonie intro-o rochie de un rosu aprins vintage Valentino couture, cu trandafiri aplicati, accesorizata cu diamante Tiffany & Co.

Ca gazda a evenimentului, alaturi de James Franco, Anne a schimbat mai multe tinute printre care s-a aflat si aceasta rochie Givenchy couture

Anne a purtat si o creatie Oscar de la Renta

Amy Adams a stralucit in L'Wren Scott si Cartier

Natalie Portman, castigatoarea premiului Oscar 2011 pentru cea mai bună actriţă în rol principal din "Black swan" a purtat o rochie Rodarte impodobita cu cristale Swarovski si accesorizata cu bijuterii Tiffany & Co., clutch Roger Vivier si sandale Jimmy Choo

Reese Whiterspoon a ales o rochie simpla Giorgio Armani Prive, diamante si smaralde Neil Lane evaluate la 1 milion de dolari si o coafura retro

Marchesa nu putea lipsi de la Oscaruri, Halle Berry este cea care a purtat o creatie by Georgina Chapman si Keren Craig

Melissa Leo, cea mai bună actriţă în rol secundar pentru rolul din "The Fighter" si cea careia i-a scapat "the F-word", a purtat Marc Bouwer

Not really a self-portrait but I'm still sorting through all the fashion week pix and decided to put up this one of me with my friend River going between the Jeremy Scott after party and Southside Lounge. I'm wearing D&G jeans I bought 10 years ago in Rome, and they're like 3 times too big but were the last pair in the store and I was in love with them...and I guess too big is better than too small because I can actually wear them! But I am completely in love with the jacket which is a great label called Red Mutha that creates customized recycled jackets out of Brighton, UK but which you can get at Any Old Iron, my dear friend Andrew's store on the Lower East Side.

If they made a new Star Wars movie and Rick Owens was the costume designer maybe the end result would be something like this.

Today's Bright Find is the Canon EOS Rebel camera. If I could give Etsy Shop owners only 1 tip for success, it would be to "take great photos". If you have a wonderful product, but the photos do not show them well, you will not sell. It's just that simple. It is also just as important as a blogger to capture good quality shots.

Invest in a good quality camera if you are serious about growing your business. I love my Canon because it takes wonderful interior shots even with low lighting.

Rarely do you find people at fashion week who are so delightful and fun to photograph. Guerre, of Swagger 360 and celebrity stylist June Ambrose are two who refuse to take themselves too seriously while still maintaining serious style!

June looks classically elegant in a '40s style suit and turban.
Dignified and dapper –with great blue shoes!
Close up details of Guerre's suit.

I find that people want to decorate their living room more than any other room in their home. This is where we gather, entertain, and live. I have a few photos of what I would like my living room to look like one day for inspiration... gorgeous chandeliers, large abstract art, cool coffee tables, decorative pillows and lots of built in bookshelves... Happy Friday!

Feathers were EVERYWHERE. Whether it was the influence of Rodarte or the Black Swan je ne sais pas de tout, but let me tell you  that literally every show had someone showing their own twist to the feather trend. I have to say that I think jackets in general were more successful than skirts. The skirts tended to be short and unless the wearer was very tall and thin the look was less than flattering. (hence no photos!)

Why is it so hard to choose a paint color for your room? Probably because there are more choices than ever now.
