Attention holiday shoppers, this is a newsflash. The deals are not really epic! I repeat – not epic! Black Friday is famous for its shady deals, its hype and its controversies. Who’s open, who’s closed, who’s deals are amazing and who’s deals are duds. Most retailers do offer their biggest no-holds-barred discounts of the year, but […]
It’s baaaaack! The quintessential 90’s velvet trend has circled back. From the runways to the movies, to the department stores, even home furnishings, you name it, it comes in velvet this season!I often joke with my event crowds that no doubt they have a Stevie Knicks floor length velvet skirt hanging in the dark side of […]
Fall Accessory Roundup – under $100 Full-blown Fall arrives October 1st for most of us.

Now before you go hopping all over me for using the term Christmas, simmer down as the title could certainly have been ‘Are You Wearing An Ugly Holiday Sweater Intentionally’, but seriously, it just doesn’t have the same pop does it? It […]
I was honored to be on a panel of judges for the Miss Massachusetts USA Pageant last week (the preliminaries to the Miss USA Pageant). One week before the event I received an email stating the attire was formal/semi-formal. What? I am not IN the pageant! But alas, it makes sense. I could not judge a […]
You may remember, if you are a loyal reader, that one month ago I took a direct hit to the eye with a tennis ball. Enough said about that. Last week I went in for my second round of what I termed water-boarding while Dr. Whitecoat stifled a chuckle. Here is where I am: the […]

What Women Want…As Gifts This Holiday Season
What Women Want sounds a bit like a fantasy romance. Well actually it is – it was a movie about 16 years ago with Helen Hunt ( a fan favorite) and Mel Gibson (not so much), where a fluke accident gives him the ability to read women’s minds. Well now – wouldn’t that be telling […]
