About me
Fashiontribes.com is one of the Top 10 Fashion Blogs. We update daily with all the hottest runway trends, fashion musts and lusts, the coolest accessories & shoes, and helpful editorials on how to wear the trends like a fashion pro. And, of course, whatever shiny and shallow things the editors are obsessing over that day. 
Check out my style because...
Fashiontribes is all about the fun and creativity of fashion. It's easy to wear a head-to-toe look off an A-list runway, but the secret of true style is to put a personal spin on the trends, adding interesting accessories and unusual combinations in a way that still looks cool (rather than bag lady). The best high fashion example is every fashionista's girl-crush: French Vogue editrix, Carine Roitfeld. 
Three things I can't live without
1. Writing & blogging: I love being a writer. From long 11,000 word pop culture pieces (the role of vampire movies in society...it's true!) to quickie blog posts on an amazing under-the-radar designer or kickass shoe, I dig sharing ideas. 2. Magazines! I'm a total magazine junkie. I happily waste time and money on probably a good 10-15 magazines a month. 3. Gossip Blogs....I know, I know... 
When I'm not hiving...
I'm probably blogging at Fashiontribes.com. I love uncovering the interesting runway trends, seeing where they fit within the history of fashion, and then the fun begins: figuring out just what that means to a fashionista's closet right now, ie. shopping! (Which means I'm always on the hunt for some shoe or bag du jour obsession.) 
What's the most interesting thing to happen to fashion lately? 
The world of online fashion, definitely. Before blogs and social shopping sites like Stylehive, we had to rely on magazine editors and their singular point of view. Now, you can find bloggers whose taste you like, connect with others via social networking and bookmarking, and share fashion tips and finds, and even generate your own content. 

 

Ask and answer

My absolute fashion must have(s)
I'm having a major floral-print dress moment right now. Plus, those odd but cool YSL banana-silhouette pants - high waisted, pleated, and cuffed just above the ankle...trying to find the perfect spring shoe that's high enough to matter, but not so high that I can only wear them when the limo is on call.

 

What designers are you into these days?
Anything YSL, Lanvin & Balenciaga.

 

Jewelry, shoes, or bags: which do you splurge on the most?
Without question, shoes, shoes & more shoes. Even when bags were having their moment over the last few seasons, it's always been about the shoes. My challenge has been expanding my shoe universe to include, yes, flats...but I'm trying.

 

Color I rock the most
As a New Yorker, big surprise: black. It's almost embarrassing, especially with so much color and vibrant prints in style for spring. However, I just bought a silk Nanette Lepore floral-print frock for spring, so bring on the warm weather already.

 

Favorite recent movies
When "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" is one of your all-time favorite movies, it's hard for most movies to compare (ditto "The Big Lebowski"). Classic Film Noir has dominated the Netflix cue lately, in particular "The Maltese Falcon", "Double Indemnity", and "Casablanca". The writing, plotting, backstabbing, scheming, dark endings, and gorgeous fashions....fabulous!
