Pushing on the Door

January 10, 2018 by Kristen Philipkoski Filed Under: Family, Fashion, Outfits, Travel Leave a Comment

I’m turning 50 this year! I keep thinking about the beginning of last year—I felt energetic and aggressively excited about making big changes. How, I thought, could the year be anything but awesome when I kicked it off with a jumpsuit like that? It wasn’t a bad year. Personally, the year was fine. We did […]

2017: The Year of the Edit

January 9, 2017 by Kristen Philipkoski Filed Under: Fashion, Outfits, Travel 2 Comments

This is the best outfit I’ve ever worn. Not just because of what it looks like—amazingly over the top, colorful, in your face and so eighties that I’m way ahead on my Pat Benetar Halloween costume—but because of the story behind it and how it made me feel to wear it on New Years Day.Here’s the […]

Adventure Skirt

October 5, 2016 by Kristen Philipkoski Filed Under: Fashion, Outfits, Travel 2 Comments

As I mentioned on Instagram, I bought this skirt in 2010 in Nashville at supermodel Karen Elson’s vintage store Mars & Venus, which sadly is now closed. I love this skirt though, partly because it brings back really fun memories from a trip there with my BFF. It was my her 40th birthday, and a trip to […]

Thank You, Bill Cunningham

Bill Cunningham

This post was originally published in September 2011. In memory of Bill Cunningham, I’m re-sharing my brief encounter with the New York Times photographer, who died on Saturday in Manhattan at 87. Thank you for your legacy and inspiration, Bill. On Saturday night, I went to the Libertine fashion show in midtown Manhattan at Exit Art. […]

The 5-Step Plan to Stop Over-Shopping for Your Vacation

June 13, 2016 by Kristen Philipkoski Filed Under: Fashion, Science of Style, Travel 2 Comments

You guys, I’m headed to Greece on Wednesday, and I’m kind of freaking out for two reasons: 1. I’m going alone—what am I supposed to do with my hands and all those extra thoughts without an almost-four-year-old to wrangle? 2. Outfits! Typically, I would basically buy a whole new wardrobe for my vacation, and this […]

All I Need Is Denim, Flowers and Family. And This Necklace. And This Ring.

April 13, 2016 by Kristen Philipkoski Filed Under: Family, Fashion, Outfits, Travel Leave a Comment

We just got back from a long weekend in Orange County for a basketball tournament and to visit my in-laws. We don’t do much while we’re there except hang out in the garden and swim, which is fine by me. My MIL is an amazing cook, has quite the green thumb, and is wonderful with Frida, so […]

5 Snapchat Accounts for a Front Row Seat at Paris Fashion Week

March 4, 2016 by Kristen Philipkoski Filed Under: Fashion, Travel Leave a Comment

Most of my peers have found Snapchat inscrutable and, frankly, irrelevant to their lives. I felt that way too until my 15-year-old showed me how to use it, and I finally got the hang of it. I will never, ever be as proficient as a teen on this app, but I have been thoroughly enjoying following my […]

Let’s Do 2016 Like Sam Herring of Future Islands

January 13, 2016 by Kristen Philipkoski Filed Under: Art & Design, Events, Travel 2 Comments

Sam Herring of Future Islands

Photos by Kristen Philipkoski Last year I went to the Governors Ball Music Festival in New York City, and the highlight of the 3-day event was seeing Future Islands perform. Not only is the band’s music fantastic, but lead singer Sam Herring, as you can see here, is an incredible front man. And while this was […]

Photos by Kourosh Karimkhany Hello from Florida! I’m actually back from my trip to Florida, but I’m pretending I’m speaking to you from this photo. Hey! Just chilling here at St. Pete’s Beach in Florida. Our friends Jeff and Erin got hitched here.

My Two Awkward Minutes With Garance Doré

December 15, 2015 by Kristen Philipkoski Filed Under: Events, Fashion, Travel 4 Comments

A representative from Club Monaco got in touch last week asking if I’d like to interview Garance Doré when she was in town for her San Francisco book singing event—the next day. I had a previous engagement, but of course I rearranged things for the opportunity to chat with Ms. Doré, who has been blogging […]
