Fashion as Art Attraction
Fashion and art collide this summer with blockbuster exhibits featuring a fashion icon, a little black dress, a toast to 80’s club culture and a bunch of punks.

The exhibit showcases the life, designs and clothes from the man who adorns aristocrats, movie stars like Michelle Williams and Cameron Diaz and first ladies such as Hillary Clinton whose ‘now famous’ Oscar de la Renta teal pantsuit is in the exhibit.

Top Travel Picks
Are you planning any trips this summer season? I recently took a trip to South America which required two planes and a layover and a few simple necessities made the journey extremely enjoyable.

Charlotte Ronson designs for Starbucks
The latest designer collaboration is Charlotte Ronson for Starbucks. The delicate design on this handy travel mug is in stark contrast to the sturdy ceramic construction to keep drinks at their desired temperature. Created from a handsketch, the print is inspired by Charlotte Ronson’s spring 2013 collection for New York Fashion Week which featured floral shades and ocean hues reflecting a feminine and urban mix. This cup is one stylish way to drink your favorite brew. 0

A Visit to C.O. Bigelow Chemists
During my last trip to New York City to attend the shows at Fashion Week I made a special stop to C.O Bigelow Chemists in the Village. C.O.

Left with a few hours between show I hopped on the metro to the Village in search of some unique beauty finds and to…
