Just Say Yes
Since having my astrological reading I have been inspired to bring the words and vision in my head to life. I literally started the day after my reading--I collaborated on my original logo and website design and art directed my photo shoot, something I’ve always wanted to do. The colorful pictures on my website are from that session, which was reposted on Instagram by Refinery 29 and fashion and textiles designer Trina Turk.
I planned the shoot with a super talented photographer friend named Nina Tekwani who...
What is Big Magic?
It’s that voice in the back of your head that wakes you up at 3 am, the wolfing hour, whispering to pursue that idea you had.

Hippie-chic shopping in Mexico
I'm on vacation on the Right Coast, and my first stop is the Hamptons. This Long Island enclave is synonymous with New York City pretention a la Gwyneth Paltrow. From the first time I visited last year, I was hooked. Although I'm more of a Montauk kind of girl—I like the ruggedness of its beaches and the isolation of the community—I'll take East Hampton for a day of shopping. In the Hamptons, you can see Beyoncé riding her bike...
