In Praise of Isabel Marant
Resort presentations are still trickling in, one that caught my attention was from French designer Isabel Marant. Continue reading “In Praise of Isabel Marant”

Summer Coverage
Today I’m going to try to tackle a touchy subject: how to look chic and stay cool without showing too much skin. Continue reading “Summer Coverage”
