I love the Isabel Marant boots the most! I saw an imitation pair at Lord & Taylor over the weekend that only cost $275, a fraction of the cost of Isabel Marant!

A very good friend of mine, Michelle Adams has launched a new web magazine, Lonny with her friend Patrick Cline. They are inspired by LONdon and NY and it is evident in each page of the magazine. From fashion to interiors, the inspiration is endless!

Michelle so graciously asked me to be a part of the very first issue!

 I am featured here with my favorite top 10 favorite items!

 I am so proud of Michelle, and cannot thank her enough for including me in this amazing achievement!

From the Fall Issue of Vogue this year I fell in love with this photo shoot that looks as if it was inspired by the film “The Edge Of Love.” The 1940’s glamour is so dramatic.
