As an entrepreneur, I'm fortunate to speak with many people who are interested in starting their own business. A few years ago, I met Jordan Salcito, a New York City sommelier who also works the harvest in various European vineyards. She was developing the concept for her own venture. I...

What's the best advice you ever received from your mother? My mom taught me to be optimistic, compassionate and that family comes first. The Tory Blog asked several people, from Susan Sarandon and David Netto to Dree Hemingway, for their mothers' best advice. Their...

I was in the elevator the other day with one of the new mothers on our team. I had to ask, "How's everyone sleeping?" Sleep is the hot topic these days, new mom or not -- who's getting it, how much and when?

I'm lucky that I have never...

Yves Saint Laurent dubbed Marisa Berenson the "girl of the Seventies." Enough said. Here, the model-actress -- and granddaughter of Elsa Schiaparelli -- talks about her remarkable career, her new book, A Life in Pictures, and what it was like to work with Saint Laurent. Click through the...

"I love you Tory Burch, you closeted bling-loving Indian woman, you." This is how I first met comedian, television producer and writer Mindy Kaling. Until she first tweeted me in August, I only knew her as Kelly Kapoor, the clueless fashion-lover on The Office, but I never really understood just...

September 13th, 2011 - New York Fashion Week Spring 2012

Today is the day -- our first runway show during New York Fashion Week and the opening party for our new flagship store at 797 Madison Avenue....

Wakeup--not that I slept...too many...

I've always had a strong appreciation for the art world -- it was the reason I studied art history in college. Yet, it wasn't until I interned at Christie's in New York when I gained that real hands-on experience. Being there helped me understand even more about the world of...

"Wash your face, use some soap...You better listen to your mama." What better soundtrack for our Mother's Day montage than Jason Mraz's "What Mama Say (Life Is Good)"? Here, a musical tribute to the Tastemakers and mothers who participated in our Mother's Day round-up.

Tonight is one of the most glamorous nights on the fashion calendar -- the annual Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, otherwise known as the Met Ball. I may be biased, but in my opinion, it's the most stylish red carpet of all the events. People always...

I remember waking up early on July 29, 1981, to watch Prince Charles and Diana's wedding with my mother -- we were two of the 750 million to watch on television. I remember how long her train was, and how her dress choice was a surprise. Without the Internet or...

The Seventies are often referred to as the decade that taste forgot. This is unfair, and for anyone who really loves fashion, it's just not true. Granted, between bell-bottoms and cheap polyester, it had moments of caricature, but what decade is fully above reproach? In fact, the Seventies gave us...

The holidays are the perfect time to pull out old family recipes, test-drive new ones and indulge a little (or a lot). On our blog, we asked a few top chefs what their favorite home-cooked meal is, best place to grab a drink with friends and go-to holiday...

Every year my family and I all start planning for the holidays right after Thanksgiving. The first week of December, my boys and I pick out our tree and spend the day decorating and attempting to bake cookies. New York City, especially, is magical at Christmas. There's no place that...

There are certain people who perfectly reflect the cultural zeitgeist. In Oprah Winfrey's case, she has consistently defined it over the last 24 years with her women-empowering talk show, must-read magazine and incredible philanthropy. No doubt, as she launches her own television channel, she'll break even more barriers and yet...

I'm passionate about small businesses, especially those owned by women. Today, Tory Burch has grown to a company of almost 700 people, but seven years ago, I started the company out of my apartment with just two. I believe that small businesses are the backbone of the economy. They create...

This summer, how many times have you been asked: Are you Team Jacob or Team Edward? Team Bill or Team Eric? Honestly, I'm Team Dracula.

At the risk of alienating the female population of the world, I still think the original Dracula -- the broody, moody, mysterious titular character...

As long as I can remember, I've lived in jeans--I probably wore them every day when I was growing up. We just launched our own denim collection with different silhouettes, washes and prints...something for every woman. For most people, jeans are a wardrobe must-have and an all-American classic....

I think there are a few trips in everyone's life that leave an indelible impression, the kind where, years later, you can instantly and vividly recall sights, sounds, smells and tastes. I just returned from a trip to Peru with my three sons and I know it had as profound...

When people think about fashion and shoes, the stiletto most often comes to mind. Popular culture has ingrained in us that style equates to a high, high heel and one that is sometimes dangerously skinny. Full-disclosure: I love high heels. I'm only 5'4" so any extra inch helps. That doesn't...

Of all the events I'm honored to be a part of, I'm most grateful to be involved with The Society of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center's Spring Ball. For me, it's personal. My father Buddy passed away a few years ago from cancer. I know first-hand how important cancer...
