In Living Color: Missoni
Violet, Fuscia, Maroon, Midnight Blue…
Between this month’s Vogue profile on Margherita Missoni’s Missoni for Target collection, and Who What Wear’s Girl of the Month profile on Jennifer Missoni, I still can’t get enough of the colorful family.

Gaga Delights
Lady Gaga’s new video brings us a tale of passion- a story of coming alive through love. I love the imagery, from a prarie-nymph scene reminiscent of La Primavera to Gaga making love as a mermaid (one of my favorite mythical creatures).

Good Morning to You
Look familiar? Regular working girls need their sleep, and as much as I would like to be the kind of “how does she do it?” woman who gets up at quarter to six in order to run, yoga through some vinyassa cycles, and make whole-grain pancakes for a nutritious start to my day, it’s just not happening. I usually dash out of bed just in time to brush my...
