Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow
The better part of the Northeast is bracing for a blizzard. Snow is already blanketing the nation's capital. Dire warnings are being issued. But whatever happened to snow being fun?

Gosh, it seems like just yesterday we watched "Meana" Irina Shabayeva walk off with the most underwhelming victory in ProjRun history. Let's get ready for Season 7.

The story behind "Coco Avant Chanel"'s near plotlessness is Coco's steely determination to become what she must be -- even though she doesn't know what that is.

I'm excited that I was able to do this concept for a new and young designer, in a very challenging location. The models found their way into a vintage Soho loft after a night of clubbing and drinking.

Shopping for picky loved ones is difficult enough. Factor in your commitment to eco-sensitive products, and a holiday shopping mission can become as daunting as an unaided ascent up El Cap.

The joy and pain of the holiday gift giving season is officially upon us and of all the items on the list, one of the most difficult to find is a present for the boss.

In LA, people dress with the deep and earnest hope that people will do nothing but stare at them. It's a city of discovery and possibility and earthquakes and wildfires; anything can happen.

Fashionology, a Beverly Hills-based clothing boutique, turns the design process over to the child. Recently, the women behind this concept put it to work for a very special group of children.

It's fascinating to see how presentation and palates have evolved over the years, and how historical context and presidential personality all influence this facet of American showmanship. The Kennedys tout the virtues of aspic, the Franklin Roosevelts scandalized the polite world with an entrée, and George Washington gave new meaning to the phrase "no frills."

Yes, the season is almost over, but the finale is cruelly a two-parter, so we've got to power through. Don't worry, I have visual aids and Jello shots. Are you ready? Let's finish what we started.

1. You don't have to be thin to be flexible. 2. To get into certain poses, however, it does help to be thin to make up for a lack of flexibility. ... 14. Yoga teachers are not "yoga therapists" unless trained as such.

My biggest concern in regards to relationships is when the effort that goes into putting together an outfit dissipates. Ever think that maybe dressing up and looking nice for yourself has its advantages?

If someone invited you to a dinner party, and told you that the other guests would include poet Maya Angelou, designer Stella McCartney, Ambassador Susan Rice, and comedienne Amy Poehler (oh, and Michelle Obama might just stop by for appetizers), how long would it take you to leap out of your seat and scramble over to the fete?

On the morning of the runway show, Chris is sitting alone in his apartment with his hands up to his face in his weeping pose. Then he writes "Big Day!" on the blackboard... to himself. He is creeping me out.

I wonder, do the camera people just sit the designers down and go, "Say something cliche and obvious. OK, good. Now, Irina, shit all over someone's design."

This Museum reminded me just how cool Jack looked. Kennedy showed that you could be a man who shopped and still face down the Soviet Union when the need arose.

With the holidays fast approaching, this is usually the time of year when we start scouting out that one piece we'd like to add to our wardrobes to really kick it up a notch--and it usually involves a little (or a lot!) of sparkle.
