  • Fashion Week Day 1

    Nick Tankersley | Updated: Wed, May 15, 2013

    Fashion Week kicked off Friday, and I hit the sidewalk running. My plane landed at noon and by 1 p.m. I was walking into the Perry Ellis menswear show. A few menswear designers show on Friday, but this week is mostly about women. The Perry Ellis collection included a fresh take on some old...

  • Go nude

    Nick Tankersley | Updated: Wed, May 15, 2013

    Nick Tankersley | Updated: Wed, May 15, 2013

    A bottle of black polish landed on my desk today. Super shiny. Super black. Black is the trendy shade of the moment, which I wrote about recently in the Sunday Living section, and as much as I want to embrace dark nails, I just can’t give in to black polish. Dark polish is a nice change...
