I haven’t watched America’s Next Top Model in years but decided I had to tune in again when I heard Kelly Cutrone would be on the show. Ever since she advised Whitney Port on how to handle mean girl Olivia Palermo on The City (“You know where nice people end up? On welfare. Scare the shit […]

Shopping is guilt-free when you’re buying for other people so I love scouting out gifts for friends. Recently a close girl friend celebrated her birthday so I had a fun time picking out some chic and wacky gifts. This particular friend loves Lanvin (to be fair, who doesn’t?) so I always try and get her something from […]
