Admit it. You have a thing for luxury. Talk to me. What’s your fantasy? Prada? Chanel? I am here for you. They call me the Haute Hunter, a gatherer of all things cool and couture. I’ll map out the must-have treasures for you — what is worth the sticker shock, for this season and beyond. Those leopard print Jimmy Choos – snap ‘em up. You’ll wear them with your favorite jeans or a black tie gown.

The Celine gold python trench running north of $10,000? Wait for a more bourgeois designer to be “inspired” with a similar look.

How did I get into this game? As the daughter of a women’s clothing designer father and a chicest-closet-on-the-East Coast mother, it was probably predestined. A three-time Emmy Award winner, I produced various design stories for a nightly half-hour show on ABC-TV. Now, I write a fashion advice column for the Boston Globe, and seek out stylemakers for my multi-media website, Boldfacers.com.

I look forward to feeding your fancy fashion fire without burning out your savings. High-end style is about quality, baby, not quantity!
