New York City Union Bosses May Have Ordered a Slow...

The New York Post is reporting that the snow disaster in New York may have been caused by an organized slow down by city workers. According to one politician, who says he speaks for a few whistleblowers, the union bosses ordered the snow removal drivers to slow it all down in protest of the belt tightening going on: Selfish Sanitation Department bosses from the snow-slammed outer boroughs ordered...

Forever and Ever Amen.

I think I could be completely happy in these two rooms, forever and ever, amen. Alright, maybe with a more comfortable desk chair…and some curtains in the bedroom…and I’m not crazy about that last throw pillow on the couch. That is to say, if I were to come across this apartment in New York I would never let it go. The light, the windows, the bookshelves, le sigh.

A Boxing Day Blizzard There were snow drifts a foot high in the lobby of my building this morning, and I had to squeeze out my front door, which was barricaded with a waste high drift. Anyone a little larger than myself would have been literally snowed in. The best part of snow in the city, as a million NY Times photo submissions will tell you, is the incredible quiet it creates. Here, a few of...

Never thought I’d call lingerie architectural, but these pieces for Nicole DeCarle’s opal collection are exactly that. They were inspired by international landmarks from the Chrysler building (clearly present in the top image) to Milan’s Duomo and Westminster Abbey.

Liu Wen

Liu Wen is coming to be one of my favorite models. She’s managed to transcend the “asian models for minimalist editorials” stigma and looks better (in my humble opinion) in glam-y shoots than Stam.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I read this book for the first time this year rather than as an uncertain tween, when you’re supposed to be relating to Charlie’s floundering leap, or perhaps stumble, into adolescence.
