NYC 4 IFB n FNO

So, I made the (last-minute) decision to pack up and head to NYC for the IFB Evolving Influence Conference, and figured I might as well stay for the Fashion’s Night Out festivities. You know, to support the economy and such. I’ve been working on the new issue of the magazine seemingly non-stop for the past few weeks, so I could use a fun break…though covering the events actually means more work…ah, well. I plan to...

Designer Jodi Arnold, best known for her contemporary line MINT, is bringing her aesthetic to the masses with a line for The Limited. Known for interesting embellishments, unique prints, and attention to detail, her fall collection for the brand features...

It’s time for Fall fashion. As usual, around mid-July I start thinking about cultivating a “look” for  Fall. No, said “look” is never fully manifested; and yes, it’s as ridiculous as it sounds, especially since I’m wearing Daisy Dukes...
