As of today, the Elle.com new chan­nel launch is planned for Tues­day, July 27^th. That is when my story will go live. I’ll post a link.
I attended the fourth annual Antique Jew­elry and Watch Show at The Met­ro­pol­i­tan Pavil­ion this after­noon (it goes on through Mon­day). Lit­er­ally almost walked right into fash­ion writer non­pareil, Lynn Yeager. […]

Chanel cou­ture Fall 2010

The JCrew/Miriam Haskell col­lab­o­ra­tion has already been touted much and loud by blog­gers and main­stream web sources. J.Crew’s new stand-alone bridal store in NYC is the place to find these made-to-order pieces. They are, admit­tedly, won­der­fully spec­tac­u­lar and seem to pos­sess every vin­tage nuance that Haskell did so well. The col­lec­tion itself is spe­cial.

The ear­rings arrived just yes­ter­day, beau­ti­fully wrapped, boxed, and berib­boned. The pack­ag­ing was lovely and gift-worthy. Once I got past the pre­sen­ta­tion, I was pleas­antly sur­prised and pleased with my own hand­i­work — the com­bi­na­tion of gem­stones turned out exactly as I had planned: a pretty sum­mer palatte that would pro­vide a light shot of […]

Even though it has not been proven if she had a hand in the assas­si­na­tion of her hus­band, Grand Duke Peter, grand­son of Peter the Great, her story reads as one of sur­vival of the fittest.

There will be an exhi­bi­tion begin­ning on March 18 at Aaron Faber Gallery in New York enti­tled Work­ing in Metal: Three Women, and it is a focused look at the jew­elry of Glenda Arentzen, Syd­ney Lynch and So Young Park. All of these arti­sans are highly accom­plished, Arentzen’s work is in the Museum of Art and […]
