Her first book on style by body type (co-written with Clinton Kelly), Dress Your Best, was published in September 2005 to stellar reviews.

She resides in Brooklyn with her two fabulously fashionable cats, Moo and Al, and many, many pairs of stilettos.  She continues to search for enough closet space.

More About Stacy

A common fashion blunder:
Clothes that don't fit properly. Whatever you are trying to hide by wearing a feed sack only looks worse than it actually is.

A quick fashion fix:
A great pair of high heels, a good shade of lipstick and a stiff drink.

A personal fashion confession:
I wore sweater dresses with tube socks in seventh grade, and I had a hair cut that made me look like Robert Smith (the lead singer of The Cure). No, it was not a pretty time in my life.

Favorite rule of thumb:
If it doesn't match anything you own, don't buy it. It will never match anything you own.

Favorite accessories:
Fantastic vintage jewelry, sunglasses, moisturizer, and a cute boy styled by me.

Favorite splurge item:
Shoes from Christian Louboutin. A girl will just never truly know what it means to be a flirt without them. They are pure sex on a stiletto.

Favorite budget items:
Cetaphil for the face. Why spend more? This item does just fine!

Favorite part of WNTW:
Watching the participants when we take them shopping and when we put them in their first outfit. They all look so surprised that they look so good!

Funniest moment while filming WNTW:
Watching a participant make antlers with her hair in front of a mirror. We are usually bubbly and chatty and always ready with a comeback, but we stood there completely dumbfounded.
