The Big Reveal: The Harris Family Halloween Costume

I don’t cook Thanksgiving dinner. And I certainly don’t slave over a hot stove  for Christmas or Hanukkah. But I can whip up a Halloween costume. This year, based on kiddo’s obsession with Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the original, not that Johnny Depp junk), we went with a Willy Wonka theme. And since kiddo’s [...]

The “White” Stuff

There are three people I want to meet before I die: Jane Pratt, Wes Anderson and Tom Wolfe. When I found out Wolfe would be at the Miami Book Fair, I got that waking-up-on-Christmas-morning-and-running-to-the-tree-to-see-my-new-bike/Barbie castle/puppy rush every kid gets on December 25.

Grab the Glue Gun, It’s Costume Making Time

Spent the entire weekend locked in the house making this year’s Halloween costumes. Halloween is, without a doubt, my favorite holiday. It has everything to do with the fashion element. And a DIY aspect. Each year I make a themed family costume, in addition to grown-up costumes. Last year, we, as a family, rocked it [...]

Long Live the ’70s

I have a philosophy about clothes: It’s not fun to wear your own vintage. I grew up in the ’80s, so, for the most part, I detest ’80s clothes. Some things, like printed denim, will always be cool, but after looking back on pics of yourself in multihued neon things and bows the size of [...]
