Sweaters are the undeniable winner as far as trends go for the 2020 winter season. The return of cardigans is noteworthy because it is everything you think it’s not. Erase images of basic ho hum styles worn solely to warm you while sitting in your office chair. The cardigan of 2020 has personality. Think of it as the replacement fashion piece for blazers and motorcycle jackets which feel less compelling to reach for when considering a living room Zoom meeting. The cardigan of 2020 is elevated enough to take you anywhere you want to go and spunky enough to lift your spirits. There is truly a style for everyone right now.

I was very lucky to hear the brilliant and hilarious Michael Kors once say the following to a captive room of retailers and editors: “ all that really matters is what you wear from the waist up. The top half is where we get the most fashion credit.” In his view, once one sits at the dinner table or in a desk chair, all anyone sees is the top half! His wisdom feels more true than ever right now.

Is it Thursday again? Do you also find yourself wondering how it is whatever day it is because it was literally just that day yesterday? Where did the time go? It feels like the slowest and fastest of times. I would personally like to ask the emptying hourglass of sand to take five. That's how quarantine feels to me most of the time. Yet amidst the groundhog's day moments and fear that time actually is “slipping into the future”, there have been magical instants where time feels suspended and I can feel myself savoring the actual minute I’m living in.

Who wears short shorts? Not that many people I know in real life actually. Why? Short shorts pose infinite challenges that don’t always make sense from a functional standpoint and it can be really difficult to find a great pair. Right now, all I know for sure is that I want to be able to wear shorts in the summertime that are equal parts attractive, comfortable and versatile. This doesn’t seem like much to ask but we all know this can be a tricky proposition.

One thing is for certain. I’ve never spent this much time in my own kitchen-- ever. But the truth is, I like it. Actually, I love it. I’m not a stranger to this part of my home, I’ve just never really had the time to “hone my craft”.

I was in Paris the first time I met Nevena Borrisova.  We met for cocktails at the Bristol hotel to discuss an exciting opportunity we were developing at Bloomingdales. From the moment I sat down with Nevena, I was intrigued. She had a passion for fashion and a clear point of view about style that was refreshingly honest.
