Deconstructed

PHOTO CREDIT: SRULI RECHT This. This right here is where I see my evening-and-weekend look going. With clean lines and fitted silhouettes for daywear at the office, it would only make sense for me to embrace this dropped-crotch, draped and decidedly deconstructed look for the rest of my life.

Two Dozen

SALTIK, A RARE STEAKHOUSE, 31.03.12 It seems that each passing birthday brings a better and better experience with it, and this year was no exception.

Anomaly

PHOTO CREDIT: ARRRGH ATOPOS I haven’t felt this way about a day for almost four years… which is probably because today, the last day of the 2nd month of the year, marks that strange anomaly that our society normalizes – or tries to.

The term Haute Couture is protected and defined by French law, and only a very select group of fashion houses are allowed to claim rights to putting on …
