Summer 2023 A Day in Northport New York

By Posted on 1 min read 718 views

Summer is coming to a close and I have to say I am looking forward to fall. We had ups and downs this summer, with some hot days, and a lot of humidity. But also some cooler days. August has been unseasonably cooler than usual, and you can feel a bit of fall in the air. I can not believe it is literally two weeks away from NYFW. Needless to say I am starting to get super busy. But todays video is from earlier in the summer when I was less busy. It is quick one, but captures the summer vibes…

I was in a Rick Owens video! OK, not exactly. But I was lucky enough to attend the Rick Owens show for Spring/Summer 2019. My regular readers probably caught a glimpse of the Rick Owens show in my Paris vlog. It was held in the court yard of the Palais de Tokyo. I got there early to make sure I got a good seat and indeed I did, I had a birds eye view of the show sitting right above the staircase leading to the sunken courtyard. I found myself in the video as I remembered the two young men standing behind me in their white shirts and the German woman I was sitting next to and speaking with throughout the show.
Rick Owens certainly has his finger on the pulse of this dystopian pallor that has fallen across the globe…
It was a warm day and you can see me filming. I wrote in a previous post that I almost cried at this show—a combination of seeing all the hard work coming to fruition, the expression of creativity in the clothing, and the undeniably dark apocalyptic feel to this presentation.

Vanity Bae Press On Nails Tutorial

By Posted on 1 min read 1095 views

Hi everyone, today I will be doing a press on nails tutorial using Vanity Bae press on nails. This was my first time using press on nails and I love them! They are affordable at $12.99, easy to use and stay on. A few popped off but it was easy and quick to reapply them. It is so nice to have long nicely shaped nails! Generally, this rather difficult for me with my natural nails, as they grow in uneven and break easily.

One of the best things about living in New York is being at the center of the fashion world this side of the pond. And one of the perks of said situation would be attending the many well heeled fashion events held through out the city. On this night I attended Flying Solo’s emerging designer party held at their studios in Soho in downtown Manhattan.

Gap Jeans Haul Spring 2023

By Posted on 1 min read 1879 views

Hello all, today I am sharing with you a quick spring jeans haul. All of the jeans are from GAP, including the tops that are so not jeans. I had a lot of jeans. There was a time when I had almost no jeans. I made up for that and over they years I had quite the collection of jeans. I then stopped buying then all together as I had enough and I did not buy them for years. The last pair I bought until now was about seven years ago and even then, it was a one off purchase. Recently I have noticed that a lot of them do not fit anymore, or at least not comfortably LOL.

Katie Gallagher (1986-2022)

I came from work last week and as I usually do I sat down in front of my computer to answer emails and return comments on my blog and YouTube channel, when a video popped up on my feed about a fashion designer’s death being ruled a homicide. I looked at the thumbnail and I thought that the young woman in the photo looked very familiar. Then I clicked on the video and saw the name Katie Gallagher— and then it clicked.
