Why I’m Starting This Blog - Over a Cup of Earl Grey

There’s a moment, just after dawn, when New York feels like it belongs to no one but me. The steam rises from the manholes like whispers from the city’s soul, my teacup is warm in my hands, and for once—there’s silence.

That’s when I knew: it was time to write.

For decades, you’ve seen me on screen, on red carpets, in editorials wearing feathers, sequins, or that infamous newspaper dress. But fashion was never just about the clothes. It was about storytelling. About saying, “I’m here, and I refuse to be ordinary.”

This blog isn’t a style guide. I won’t tell you what to wear or how to live. Instead, consider this a conversation over tea, over mistakes, over the joy of finding a perfect vintage coat at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. We’ll talk about:The pieces that have traveled with me through motherhood, heartbreak, and Broadway lights,

Why confidence is the only accessory you truly need,
And how getting dressed can be an act of hope.

I’m not here to curate perfection. I’m here to share the mess, the magic, and the moments in between.

So pour yourself a cup—Earl Grey, if you’re feeling classic; something floral, if you’re feeling bold—and stay awhile.

Welcome to my corner of the internet.
