Emerson Shows Free-Spirited Line at MBFW | February 18, 2012

Emerson Shows Free-Spirited Line at MBFW

Emerson showcased what the designer is best known for at her headquarters in Boston: a luxuriously classic and sophisticated line. The show consisted of beautifully tailored pieces that were both feminine and sporty for the woman on the go—a woman with busy days, and cocktailing evenings.  Emerson embodies the powerful and free-spirited woman. The ability to design a line that was both cohesive and transitional from day to night was amazing—how convenient for fashionistas!

Owner and designer Jackie Fraser-Swan put special detailing into each piece carefully. Throughout the line pieces had touches of purple and black houndstooth print peeking out here … Read More »

A Mini Guide to Boston | March 30, 2010

A Mini Guide to Boston

Boston has always been one of my favorite cities. I enjoy history, and since Boston is one of the oldest cities in the United States, I consider it one of the must visit cities in this country. Plus, I love the look and feel of some of the streets and areas in Boston- some spots will remind you of being in Europe. It’s also easy to get around on foot (with a good map, of course) because downtown is reasonably compact. In fact, Boston has been nicknamed “The Walking City,” so “pahk the caar,” put on … Read More »

Best Airport Dining Spots | December 23, 2009

Best Airport Dining Spots

I don’t know about you, but when I jet set somewhere I always get hungry. Whether it’s before I get on the plane, or during a layover, I want something to eat at the airport, but sometimes the fast food joints don’t cut it for me. I want a hearty meal that’s halfway decent. So where should I go? Thanks to Food and Wine magazine (so glad I have a subscription- best investment ever!) I now know and wanted to share with all my jet setters. So if you are ever in any of these U.S. airports, just log onto … Read More »

Looking Ahead To Fall 2009 & Back To The 80s | February 14, 2009

Looking Ahead To Fall 2009 & Back To The 80s

This past November I attended a fall 2009 fashion preview co-sponsored by Boston Fashion Week and Fashion Group International.  When the final frame of the Spring/Summer 2009 screening faded out, the room was quite.  “Really?” hung, unspoken in the air.  80′s inspired trends ran rampant on the runways.  The critique that followed by Boston fashion notables as well as representatives from WWD and Lucky Magazine confirmed what many of us in the room seemed uneasy to believe: 80s fashion trends provided notable inspiration to Fall 2009 collections.  With that, however, was the added notion that anything goes; wear what … Read More »
