Made For Walking

Truth: I didn't think that thigh-high boots were something that I'd be able to wear.

Or at least not something I'd be able to wear and pull off.

I mean, I live in a semi-woodsy section of the suburbs. I have a two-year-old with whom I do two-year-old things like go to Storytime at the children's library. Thigh-high boots? Hm.

But let's be honest: the fact that an item of clothing is perhaps vaguely inappropriate for a given set of circumstances isn't something that's ever stopped me before. And in Kate Moss's video campaign for Stuart Weitzman (which I saw at the premiere party that I went to last week, and then also saw again once I got home because it's awesome enough to watch twice), she...

Dry Skin Tips For The Similarly Afflicted

In the summer my skin is respectably non-flaky, but in the colder months it’s all alligator, all the time. What this means: a major focus on moisturizer – once September hits, I always moisturize at least twice a day (usually more), and sometimes even use my richer nighttime moisturizer in the morning (making sure that I then also layer on a product like BB cream for sun protection).

1. Start dealing with dryness before it starts: don’t wait until major flaking sets in before implementing your winter skincare routine.

Welcome To The New Ramshackle Glam!

Hi! I'm so excited about this.

This redesign (featuring a beautiful new logo by Naava) has been in the works for a few months now, and I'm so thrilled with how it turned out - I hope you enjoy it! The overall goal was to make RG more easy to navigate and fun to visit, so these are the big changes you'll see:

- A "slider" with five featured posts - either a handful of my favorite posts from the past few weeks that I think you might enjoy or topical content (e.g. Halloween-related posts during Halloween week);

Torn T-Shirts And Twinsies

My friend Francesca (that's us in Vegas last spring) is the most fashionable person I know, and I don't mean that in an fancy-purses-and-snobby-labels way: I mean she's just one of those people who's naturally about ten steps ahead of the trends and can wear things like cut-up men's undershirts and somehow make them look like couture, and she inspires my own clothing experiments more than anyone else.

Oh my god, did we ever have fun when we lived together in L.A. We basically shared a wardrobe: she'd borrow one of my Trovata cat-princess dresses and I'd put on some beaded sheath that she'd found at a thrift store in Italy, and we'd head out to play darts until two in the morning before coming back home and jumping into the pool. I've never had that experience before - where you're so close with someone that your possessions become more or less shared - but that's exactly the way it was: even Lucy felt more like "our" dog than "mine".

Anyway, Francesca is very much my Fashion Spirit Sister, so when she emailed me that she was on the hunt for a perfectly distressed rocker tee (we email and/or text each other about ten times a day, so things like "I'm on the hunt for a perfectly distressed rocker tee" are totally acceptable topics, in addition to "Miley Cyrus is completely naked in her new video" and just how much Marvin is crying on this season of ANTM), I thought: ooh. That sounds good.
