In my continuing blog series of learning where some of my famous fashion friends started, today’s profile is Us Weekly’s uber-fashionista and shoe fanatic, Sasha Charnin (@sashacharnin). Appreciate that when I was an intern at Harper’s Bazaar in 1996, Sasha was an editor there. I love that about fashion, you can have so many lives. Anyway, if you don’t know Sasha, she is...

WHEN YOU'D RATHER HEAR NAILS ON A CHALKBOARD THAN...
I work with some pretty great people. I mean come on, if you stay at a company for nearly fifteen years, a lot can be said about the brand, but you know that the people have to play a big role too. So when I come across a person in the industry who I really dislike working with, I’m extra irritable on several levels. Thoughts that cross my mind are A) why me? and B) How does this person...
