A House on Stilts with A View of The Western Australian Coast
Selectism17 May 2013 | 7:00 amHow would you feel about living in a house held up angled galvanized steel beams?

Elsewhere, Bernhard Wilhelm is supposedly planning a one year move and KTZ is looking to soak up the energy of… -

16 May 2013 | 8:22 pmThank you to my dear friend, Shannon, for stepping in to review the Dansko Janie. Courtesy of Dansko.com As a mother of three active boys, I am on my feet a lot!

The sleeves were dramatic, the body perfectly fitted. Having said that, you don’t have to spend that kind of money to get the feel of white shirt. Pay attention to the fabric, and the cut.

In the UK, more than 1000 tons of clothes are dumped in landfills every day. Seems like a waste (pun intended), no?

Being sedentary at the desk on a daily basis can bring about different health risks and wreak havoc on a body over time. Millions of American office workers put themselves in danger of further discomfort by ignoring their pain, which can lead to chronic pain. Is that you? As a full-time blogger, I also spend the majority of my time sitting in front of the computer for… -
Tree Hut foot scrub & cream review
17 May 2013 | 7:44 amThis post brought to you by Tree Hut. All opinions are 100% mine. Warm-weather brings breezy sandals and cutout shoes in all types, it’s time to give your feet some extra attention. I have been completely spoiled with new foot care products from Tree Hut – Exfoliating Foot Scrub & Soothing Foot Cream. They are an absolute treat for tired feet, and exactly what I need right now to have my feet summer ready. Both the scrub and cream contain organic shea butter and natural peppermint oil to moisturize and revive your feet. The scrub has the perfect combination of sugar granules… -
Kate Middleton’s blue dress
13 May 2013 | 2:34 pmDress | Blazer | Necklace | Pumps | Watch This lovely blue dress from Reiss reminded me of the Stella McCartney’s dress seen on Kate Middleton last year. I love the lace panel detailing to give just a hint of embellishment as well as the lengthy short sleeves to flatter your look. A black cropped blazer is just the right topper for the dress, and a pair of simple black pumps ties the whole look together. For the finishing touches, I’ve found a similar necklace to Kate’s (stunning Cartier necklace) for far much less at Kohl’s along with an office-chic watch that… -
Must-have basic tee on a budget
11 May 2013 | 6:24 pmWell-fitting basic tees have long been missing from my wardrobe. Like many of you, I hesitate paying a hefty price for a basic top, yet I want a good quality tee that will last more than just several wears. J.Crew’s Perfect-Fit Ballet Button Tee is not only within my budget at $32.50 but has a fabulous style to go with. It comes in 12 amazing colors, and buttons are a wonderful detail. Two features I love the most about this tee is the slim cut (great for tuck in’s) and the chic elbow-length sleeves. The top can be easily dressed up with trousers or pencil skirt for work,… -
Spring shoe pick – Kate Spade Simon
10 May 2013 | 6:08 pmKate Spade’s Simon pumps caught my attention with its standout design and easy-to-wear style. The heel flaunts luxe yet sophisticated design while the low heel keeps you fashionably comfortable from day to night. I can’t really decide which color I like better between pink and emerald (shown) which are spot on colors for spring/summer. Perfect with a simple shift dress (in light gray please) for a day at the office. Continue on the spring feel in your work look by adding on a fun jewelry piece like this beaded rock necklace.

BUY HEREFor me, what makes Minute Taker so special, is the level of raw uninterrupted songwriting he produces, that is void of the heavy studio effects we have become so accustomed to hearing within modern day music. His voice – previously compared to the likes…

Your Masculinity Threshold
17 May 2013 | 3:52 amI love clothing and footwear with a refined, masculine integrity. I frequently wear button-down shirts, both tailored and oversized, which is a boyish look. I adore flat oxfords, tuxedo style tops and toppers, roomy blazers with low stances, baggy trousers and boyfriend jeans. Add to that bomber jackets, waist surrendering silhouettes, trouser suits, wide belts looped through low rise jeans and pants, slipper flats, and roomy crew neck pullovers. And if that isn’t enough, I also wear iconic unisex wardrobe items like the original Dr. Martens lace up boot, Rayban wayfarers, and Chuck… -

Ensemble: The Playful Pencil Skirt
16 May 2013 | 4:06 amCreating playful ensembles with pencil skirts is an ongoing project with many of my clients because tight pencil skirts are often thought of as overly corporate, strict and bombshell, especially when they are matched with a classic pair of black pumps. Of course, there is a time and place for strict corporate pencil skirt outfits, and it’s a great look for some specific work environments. But there’s also room for a less serious pencil skirt outfit in a more casual setting. So with de-bombshelling strategies and colour top of mind, we’re going to tickle that pencil skirt… -
Nordstrom Roundup: Casual Summer
15 May 2013 | 1:54 pmSummer is around the corner, and for some, that means wearing extra casual outfits. So this week’s roundup showcases super relaxed items, ideal for casual settings. Vince Camuto ‘Lancaster’ Flat: Comfortable, breezy, on trend and I vote la creme. Fits an insole and orthotic. Joe’s Kody Sandal: Super soft leather and with the oh so popular broad ankle strap. It’s very flat and lacks arch support so consider yourself warned. Michael Kors Print Flutter Sleeve Top: I saw this top on the hanger and was not all that impressed. But the fabric is unbelievably soft,… -
A Small Stitch Keeps Sleeves Scrunched
15 May 2013 | 3:30 amA slim-fitting long sleeve is ideal for sleeve scrunching because the tapered silhouette stays put against the contour of your forearms and elbow. The more snug the sleeve fit, the easier the sleeves are to scrunch and stay that way. Sometimes even with a relatively slim fitting sleeve the scrunch is hard to maintain because the sleeve opening is too wide with the cuff unbuttoned. One simple solution is to sew a little stitch in the middle of the placket of the sleeve. This narrows the opening of the sleeve when the cuff is unbuttoned and pulled back into a scrunched position. This makes…

Emily Definitely Knows How To Get Noticed!
15 May 2013 | 5:46 amNaturally, because I’m so ‘fashion continuous’, I notice other people’s style (or lack-thereof). I can’t help it. There is a fine balance, on either end of the spectrum, between envy and judgement. Admittedly, I’ve been guilty of both. I usually find myself lusting after the latest fashion trends on Refinery29, but my fashion envy and style idol right now is Emily of Cupcakes and Cashmere. This woman has impeccable style and grace; fashion just flows through her veins. If Audrey Hepburn and Carrie Bradshaw had a love child, Emily would be it. Not only that,… -

How Far is Too Far?
17 May 2013 | 5:44 pmIt seems like everyone these days is trying to get kids to grow up fast. And while it might be nice to have our tweens and teenagers mature, there is a fine line when it comes to pushing little girls to grow up. For example, the pageant industry has always disturbed me. It bothers me that people put so much pressure on little girls to look beautiful. When in fact we should be telling them that they are perfect just the way they are, not offering them spray tans and mascara. So how far is too far? Are heels inappropriate for a six year old? Should ten year olds be wearing a mini skirt? -

Miss Dior Eau de Parfum
15 May 2013 | 10:39 amI'm not a huge perfume person but I am starting to venture out of my safe signature Chanel scents. Each time I'm at a department store I'll try something new. Yesterday at Bloomindales I had already sprayed on a Jo Malone scent and wanted to try Miss Dior but I was smelling too much like apricots to smell anything else. So while picking up my Dior Show Mascara, the sales associate gave me a small sample of Miss Dior to take home. This morning I tried it and I fell in love. The fragrance is soft, but not too soft. It lingers with you and has such a sweet smell. I adore the beautiful bottle too… -

Lighten Up! White Old Gringo Boots for Spring
2 May 2013 | 12:00 pmGreetings, folks! How’s this spring weather treatin’ y’all? At Allens Boots, it’s so nice that its put us in the mood to pull out some new white Old Gringo boots from our shelves. As a result, we thought we’d go ahead and get into the swing of spring this week by addressing a lil’ ol’ Southern fashion rule about wearing white. Now, this rule states that white can only be worn between Easter Sunday and Labor Day, and uniformly frowns on any belles or beaus who might defy this rule. But where does this rule about white clothing come from? And does it really need to be followed? -

The Future Of Fashion Is...Star Trek?
18 May 2013 | 11:00 amWhen we think the best of classic sci-fi, we think Star Trek. When we think revolutionary social statements in pop culture, we think Star Trek. But what about fashion? Where does design come in when most of the characters are wearing a fleet uniform? Well, we posed that very question to Michael Kaplan, costume designer for Star Trek Into Darkness — an industry pro who's also worked on Blade Runner and Fight Club, to name a few. "Not being a trekkie [ed note: gasp!], I held on to what is important to diehard fans...but J.J. [Abrams, director] didn't want to be locked into anything," Kaplan… -

How To Not Apologize If You Are Abercrombie & Fitch
18 May 2013 | 9:00 amEvery few years, comments from Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Michael Jeffries resurface about his refusal to make clothes for XL or XXL buyers. The exact quote, given in a 2006 interview with Salon, reads like this: "In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids. Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don’t belong [in our clothes], and they can’t belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely. Those companies that are in trouble are trying to target… -

7 Totally Wearable, Non-Dorky Alma-Mater-Themed Gifts That Won't Make You Look Like an Extra in Old School
18 May 2013 | 8:01 amWhen it comes to school-logo apparel, all I can say is: There is life beyond the college sweatshirt (sorry, John Belushi). From classic collegiate-striped scarves to branded cowboy boots, the options for displaying alma mater pride have gotten much more sophisticated. If you've got a soon-to-be graduate in your life or just want a subtle way to show your school pride during tailgate season, try one of these fun, preppy ideas on for size!

Chic Peek: Le Catch's Marlien Rentmeester Does High-Low Style Better Than Anyone I've Ever Met

Biker Everything: Motorcyle Blouse
17 May 2013 | 1:17 pmThere have been so freaking many interpretations of this “motorcycle biker chick” look – from Alexander McQueen shoes (and subsequent knockoffs), denim jackets, pants… now we finally have a motorcycle blouse.The material looks thin enough that it would lay pretty nicely – the rigidness of most “motorcycle”-branded things is what usually turns me off. A somewhat hi-low blouse with cool draping and an asymmetrical zipper – that’s something I think I can get behind.Check it out: Motorcycle Blouse from Warehouse, $71**Right now, you can get… -

Wild Soul Sunglasses: Philanthropic Retro-Modern Genius! [Review]
14 May 2013 | 8:11 amAt one point, when I was still in middle school, I had a collection of sunglasses that was unmatched. I remember arranging them neatly and evenly on a shelf that spanned about 60 inches, placing them each about 3 inches apart, tidy & folded, and just admiring them in their bountiful glory. This ritual happened about once per month – before I wore every single pair within a few weeks and scattered them about the house in the process. (Sorry, parents.)I had about 20 pairs, at my most obsessed. There were lavender-tinted wayfarers, the ever-so-popular bug-eye sunglasses from the… -
Monday Wedgie: Studded Jute Wedge

Daily Deal: Whirly Glass Hanging Candles

They give a warm boost to any environment – especially in dimly lit, intimate areas. (Wow, that sounded way saucier than I ever intended for it to.)These little guys are a perfect size at 5.25″ in diameter (that’s like a medium head of cabbage!) and are crafted from handmade glass. They can hold one tea light/tea candle – don’t try to shove more…

Proenza Schouler PS1 Iguana Wallets: Ready for Reptile
17 May 2013 | 9:00 amSnobs who leave no bag unturned surely demand a wallet that matches the rest of their wardrobe, right? In the midst of bag frenzies, the wallet is an oft-neglected accessory that doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Count on the boys of Proenza Schouler to change that. When your wallet is extra-spacious and comes with irresistible-to-the-eye (and touch) iguana skin, it’s guaranteed to steal the show, no matter what bag it finds itself in. Get the new-classic effect of the PS1 with an exotic twist (and without the obviousness of carrying the messenger version). Purple Rain makes for… -
Rihanna x Céline Trio Bag: Snob or Slob?
17 May 2013 | 6:00 amI’m eating my words right now. I’ve always said that you could wear a trash bag and still be chic with the right clutch. How wrong I was. Rihanna may have covered up her hair with a retro scarf and her eyes with a cute pair of shades, but pop music’s favorite good girl gone bad lived up to her title as she left the Gansevoort in NYC wearing a black maxi dress slit up to you know where. Yikes. Does her gorgeous red Céline bag has the power to redeem this outfit? Riri’s been seen carrying the rolled Summer ’13 Trio clutch all around the city and it’s no mystery why – with three… -

Elie Saab Takes Over Cannes: Yes We Cannes!

It’s only natural that they boast a private showroom suite in Cannes, ideal for getting film-festival ladies looking perfect. No starlet would turn down the jewel-like, gold-plated clutches, especially now that they’ve been decked in Swarovski-crystal stripes. Just look at Fan Bingbing - her gold box clutch (at Elie Saab for $2,065) sparkled more on the carpet than her Chopard gems! But despite the preciousness of the metals, I’m experiencing major… -
Anndra Neen Streak Clutch and Quilted Fin Choker: Rare Metals

Everyone wanted one and no one knew where to find one – and this is Paris, mind you. Only cult boutiques, like Kirna Zabête in New York City, carried it. Well, that day has passed because Anndra Neen’s day is officially here. Rejoice, snobs! NET-A-PORTER, eternally at the forefront of of-the-minute fashion and hip trends, is now stocking the designer’s golden goods. These are accessories that Khaleesi from Game of Thrones would be…

His new album Confidence, published in April on Cocolino, charts his journey training as a horse whisperer. Sounds odd, right? Well, the reason is: SIS actually began being a horse whisperer as an outlet to draw him away from this intense lifestyle and the secluded passion of music making. His experiences in this trade have now inspired his music. On his new album each track is named after horses from international breeds and the title of the album Confidence also refers to horse whispering as… -

Things I Love Thursday: Stop Making Excuses!
16 May 2013 | 1:21 pmI’m sitting outside a coffeeshop in the shade. I’m wearing plum-coloured lipstick (#46) with my legs crossed underneath me (always my favourite way to sit). God, it is such a relief to able to sit outside and not have to pull my coat around me! Yesterday I caught two buses and a train up to South Bronx (the South South Bronx) to go on a little EKOCYCLE pilgrimage. While there, I was reunited with Will.I.Am. EKOCYCLE have teamed up with four residential buildings in the South Bronx to try to increase their rate of recycling, since it’s one of the lowest in NYC. Super-cool. As… -

It was from Shauna, and it said, “Bad news: the LA venue have just told us they’re double-booked, and can’t host our class.” The adrenaline surge was enormous. We immediately sprung into problem-solving mode. Within a couple of minutes, I was on my phone, chatting to potential venues and asking for information.

Rave Night at the Armory
15 May 2013 | 9:00 pmDonatella Versace clearly wants to make some noise with Versus. Last night, her collaboration with J.W. Anderson came down the runway at the Lexington Avenue Armory between bursts of live music from hip-hop artist Angel Haze, hard-rock band Dead Sara, and electro-pop sensation (and latest Versace darling) Grimes. The glitziest musical talent in the house didn't get anywhere near a stage—or a camera, for that matter—but Lady Gaga was, several sources confirmed, somewhere on the gigantic premises. Admittedly, the clothes had a bit of atmosphere to compete with. But Brian Atwood, for…

Necklace by Margot WolfWell, it’s officially hot as hell. Yesterday I wasn’t quite sure it was hot enough for a sleeveless dress, so I wore leggings, a cami and long cardigan with my Dieppa Restrepo loafers and wanted to DIE from the heat. I was down on South Congress with a friend for the Margot Wolf trunk show at By George, so… -

One Year
11 May 2013 | 10:00 pmIt’s been a year since we exchanged vows, and I absolutely cannot believe that our first year of marriage has come and gone. I know it sounds so cliché, but it literally has flown by! So many wonderful things have happened since then: an unforgettable honeymoon in Paris & Provence, buying our first home, settling into said home, starting my first year of residency as Dr. Braly (it’s “braw-lee”), being witness to some amazing weddings of family & loved onces (I’m looking at you, Tracy! And Frank!), and of course meeting wonderful, amazing people like… -
Birthday Blog Lovin’
30 Apr 2013 | 10:01 pmWell yes, folks – today’s ma’ birthday. I’m one year closer to the big 3-0. Time flies! It seems like just yesterday I was in my mother’s womb…filming a vlog and thinking, “This will make a great blog post!” But in all seriousness, today might actually prove to be a miserable one: I’m starting a very tough rotation at work, I’m on day shift for 12 hours while my husband is on night shift, which means we won’t even see each other until tomorrow night! :( So no b-day celebrations or kisses or dinner. But you know what would… -
Sunday Best
30 Apr 2013 | 6:30 amWe all have heard about The Statement Necklace–but isn’t it time we made a statement with the actual clothes on our backs? Since when do accessories get to have all the fun? I especially love incorporating more than one trend in a piece that is still utterly wearable, that makes a statement, but doesn’t scream it. That can be so hard to balance with spring trends, sometimes, especially with all the color. That’s why I love this dress by London Times so much – it incorporates my favorite colors to colorblock (orange and hot pink), and makes it totally wearable… -

{Sneak Peek} Inside my Apartment
15 May 2013 | 7:41 amI've been busy lately, especially with moving from my (tiny) Manhattan apartment to my (tiny, but cheaper) Brooklyn apartment. For someone with a closet as big as mine, this is not a small undertaking. On the upside: A new place to decorate! It's still kind of a mess, but I managed to capture a few snippets so you could see how it's taking shape. A full apartment tour to come when I get my act together (i.e., clean this place up and maybe even do the dishes). Let's start here. Brass chandelier, spraypainted blue and hung in the living room: I'm obsessed with dinosaurs lately (you'll see). -

23 Apr 2013 | 8:33 pmA week from Friday, the fashion star-studded documentary "Scatter my Ashes at Bergdorf's" comes out. But the night before -- on May 2 at 7pm, at a downtown NYC locale -- there will be a special sneak preview of the film just for bloggers, super-fans and a few lucky others. We've got a pair of tickets to give away to one reader to the special screening! To enter, just leave your name in the comments (NYC-, or those willing to travel to NYC-, only please) and we'll pick a winner early next week. OK, now that you've left your name...

OB. SESSED. {with Emily Henderson}
22 Apr 2013 | 6:53 pmMy friend Kevin — he of Vintage Roadtrip 1 & 2 fame, if you've been following me for a while — has the best taste of anyone I know. Just look at his perfectly perfect living room above. (The rug? Swoon!) We're like design soulmates, except he's an utter minimalist and I'm a complete... uh, maximalist? (He also loves mint, and I haaaate mint, and we only just discovered this and the rift may never be fully repaired.) But, really, on our Vintage Roadtrip jaunts (we're hitting Palm Springs next month!), we agree to work from opposite ends of the thrift store so we cannot reach for the same… -
Adventures in Woodworking
22 Apr 2013 | 12:21 pmHaving found myself with a little extra time lately, I've plunged headfirst into the World of Making Things. Whether it's slightly misshapen pillowcases or experimenting with spray paint, my projects have been pretty fun — and pretty educational. As in, I now know the wrong way to do a lot of things, from experience. {oof} But my best work so far? This pair of benches, constructed from a few cut pieces of wood and paired with a vintage chrome-edged table from the Salvation Army. I drilled, I painted, I stenciled — and I dream of moving the whole thing out into the middle of my friends… -
♥ ♥ Lemlem ♥ ♥
15 Apr 2013 | 5:42 amI'm always a little suspect of models (or actresses) turned "designers", but I fell in love with Liya Kebede's line Lemlem before I even knew it was hers (and judged it...). The woven fabrics, usually mixed with super-bright stripes, are made by weavers in Liya's home country of Ethiopia, and they're just gorgeous. I first spotted it at J.Crew, where they have a mini-collection (some pieces above), but there's even more goodness on the Lemlem website. I may have even officially resolved to stop judging model/actress fashion lines, at least before I see them... maybe.

Swoonfest Saturdays: 24 Hours in ~ Georgetown
17 May 2013 | 9:00 pmRoll over the images above to see what 24 Hours in Georgetown was like! This is a new series that I have just launched. As many of you know, I travel quite a bit whether I am doing TV segments or appearances. In many cases, I don't get an awful lot of time to be in a city but I do end up going there quite a bit. So in reality, I have 24 hours to explore an area on my own. I kicked this series off with going to Georgetown as I was going to be in Baltimore the following day to do a segment. I wanted to spend 24 hours in this quaint area of DC to experience shopping, restaurants, bars and to pop… -
Fashionable Fridays: Events ~ CEW Beauty Awards Luncheon
17 May 2013 | 3:29 pmIt's been a long week but I was so pumped to be whisked off to the Waldorf Astoria to attend the cocktail reception and the luncheon for the Cosmetic Executive Women Insiders' Beauty Awards. This year, over 650 products were entered through over 300 beauty brands! From all of this, there were 186 finalists in 30 categories. The result is that a winner in each category is selected and on this day, over 1,000 people were able to watch the awards ceremony that was hosted by Michael Cantone (from Sex in the City). I'm so happy that one of this year's CEW sponsors, Crest, invited me to attend! As… -

Wrist Wednesdays ~ What I'm Rocking
15 May 2013 | 8:16 amAs many of you know, I was on air yesterday morning on FOX Baltimore where I talked about 10 Accessories Summer Musts. It was quite a day as the day before I was in DC and then popped into Baltimore to do the segment and then ended back home in NYC sipping wine at the Gansevoort Park Rooftop. Some have been asking about the Georgetown portion of the trip (deets coming on Fri with a full on focus of the Fairmont Hotels), my style for the segment so that they can stock up their closets (coming soon I promise) and others asked what was I wearing for my accessories.

LeAnn Rimes in J Brand Leather Leggings in Cement
18 May 2013 | 11:00 amLeAnn Rimes held a showcase of her new album Spitfire on Los Angeles, California back in March. The singer wore a pair of the J Brand Leather Leggings in Cement with a snake printed silk shirt and opted to go barefoot. One thing that I have noticed about LeAnn is that she mixes different shades of the same color very well. It keeps her looks from looking just basic. I instantly feel for these pants when i first saw them when they came out. I never would have thought a pale grey pair of leather pants would be this appealing. They don’t have a dullness that grey usually has. Would you… -
Rob Lowe in Ever Jeans
18 May 2013 | 6:00 amRob Lowe stopped by the Grove to make an appearance on Extra! For his appearance on the show, Rob wore a pair of Ever Jeans and a button down shirt. I always thought that Ever would have a big following since they made so many great washes and really focused on comfort as well. Unfortunately, the company declared bankruptcy in 2009, so I think they have since gone out of business. -

Separate Your Clothing Into Four Categories: Category 1-To sell to a consignment store. Is the item classic, a high-end brand, and in great shape? Category 2-To donate to a thrift store.

Great Gatsby Party With LA Designer Sue Wong
10 May 2013 | 1:54 pmToday is the opening of The Great Gatsby. I bet you are going to the movies this weekend to see it right? Well I can say I was lucky enough to attend a very Jay Gatsby affair at a real life 1920s Hollywood mansion. I was so thrilled to be Heather Petrey’s, of LA Fashionsnob, plus one to Sue Wong‘s Fall 2013 collection preview. Sue Wong is a master at taking glamorous vintage looks and transforming them into sequined, feathered and beaded modern interpretations. Unlike many designers who take vintage inspiration and strip it of its intricate details, Sue Wong pays homage to past… -
Thrifted Thursday – Mid Century Baubles
9 May 2013 | 1:20 pmI have an addiction to vintage jewelry. I wouldn’t say I pile it on everyday. Just buy it by the handfuls. Especially when the handfuls are already beautifully displayed, curated and priced to sell for me. These were all purchased at one time. A very stylish older woman must have passed them on. We are kindred spirits. Sequins, rhinestones, roses and plastic. YES PLEASE! What have you scored lately? Tell me all about it in the comments below! -
On the Hunt For A Jewelry Armoire
8 May 2013 | 9:58 amHelp! I moved into my new house five months ago yet my vintage jewelry and accessories are still in boxes on my bedroom floor. Not exactly a domain for inspiration or relaxation. I used to have a Heywood-Wakefield vanity, but that is going to be sold and waiting patiently in the garage. I actually don’t really want another vintage vanity. As pretty as they are, they never seem to have enough storage space for my massive collection of vintage jewelry. I have been looking for a more practical jewelry armoire. The problem is they didn’t really exist in the mid century. At least I… -
Thrifted Thursday – Vintage Quilted Closet Organizers
2 May 2013 | 6:00 amI am a thrift store snob! I was pulling out of Starbucks when I saw a new-to-me Goodwill. It’s located in a city that I would not say has a reputation for style, but I thought, hey you never know. I saw them stacked up on a table at the far end of the store – four beautiful vintage storage boxes covered in the most glamorous gold, silver and cream quilted vinyl. I will admit publicly that I am not the most organized person so these beauties were quickly MINE! Not only did I cure my need to discover vintage treasure, but I can get organized in style. Who would want an MDF shoe…

Where I Have Been....Where I Am Going and a Sale!
16 May 2013 | 4:28 amOver the past few months, you may have noticed that the pace of new vintage dresses coming to Couture Allure has slowed down considerably and that my posts on this blog have become erratic. There's a reason for that.Winter. I can't do winter any more. You'll recall my road trips down south in January 2011 and 2012. In addition to shopping for vintage all along the way, my husband and I were also scouting for a new place to live during the winter months. And we've found it in delightful Dunedin, FL. We've both worked for years and years to get to this point… -
Nettie Rosenstein for I. Magnin - 1956
14 May 2013 | 2:57 amI love a rose print. Add a matching hat and I'm over the moon! I. Magnin featured this dress by Nettie Rosenstein in a full page ad from 1956. "we like the look of a rose on a stem...a big hat...a stem-slender dress by Nettie Rosenstein cut from rose-printed silk shantung, swept to the back and gently pleated...in our Magnin-exclusive Rosenstein collection." Perfection, pure and simple. If anyone can tell me what the illustrator's signature says, I would really appreciate it.I. Magin ad for Harper's Bazaar, March 1956. -
Travilla Dress - 1958
13 May 2013 | 2:02 amTravilla's version of the sack back dress from 1958. The dress is likely fitted to the body under the blouson that falls from the thin shoulder straps and tucks back in under the waistband. The magazine calls this a "cocktails-through-dawn" dress. I like that description. Sold for $125 in 1958 (about $1,007 in today's dollar.)Photo by Louise Dahl-Wolfe for Harper's Bazaar. -
Dan River Plaids - 1958
10 May 2013 | 3:28 amPlaid never looked so good. In this ad from 1958, the Dan River fabric company features 3 dresses made from its yarn dyed woven plaids. Started in 1882, Dan River was one of the most famous and prolific of the American textile companies, well known for their gingham fabrics. Sadly, the company fell victim to cheap overseas competition and declared bankruptcy in 2004. The company was purchased by firm in India in 2006 and all jobs were moved out of the US. The historic textile plant in Danville, VA was taken down in 2008. -

Louis Vuitton W Bag Collection
13 May 2013 | 10:39 amThe innovative new Louis Vuitton bag is shaking up the House’s graphic vocabulary. Its tight lines, suggesting the penmanship of a W, outline a three-part body, which is enhanced by the blending of various materials. These emblems of the House identify a belonging to the great leather goods tradition of Louis Vuitton and underline its groundbreaking design. In this new alphabet, the bag has plenty of surprises in store, both visual and tactile. Geometric and generous, supple yet not limp; its perfect sculpting reconciles the comfort of a large bag with the bearing of a sophisticated… -
Confessions of a Keepall
10 May 2013 | 6:25 amWhen you’re the original 24-hour bag, an overnight stay is your raison d’être. Even when you’re full or overflowing, you still have space for a memory or two. Trust me, I know. I hate long-haul travel. Why? Because whenever Chen jets off to Europe or the United States, I’m left languishing in her closet. From the top shelf, I can see her, so slender and graceful, packing her suitcases – those big ones with wheels, the ones that go in the hold. And it’s absolute torture! I try to console myself by remembering that she chose me for my elegance, for my supple Monogram canvas and my… -
Louis Vuitton Parnasséa Collection
10 May 2013 | 12:34 amFrom Parnassus, the mythical dwelling place of the muses, the new Louis Vuitton Parnasséa leather goods collection has inherited the beauty of its forms, the perfection of its materials and the harmony of its colours. From the Parnassian movement in poetry, it has plundered its imaginative élan and compositional precision. To the Montparnasse district of Paris, a hotbed of artistic creativity, it owes its inspiration and finesse. In homage to Paris, that historic capital of the arts, each bag and smaller leather goods bears the name of a famous street: Alma, Capucines, Vivienne…… -
Louis Vuitton Tambour Spin Time Regatta
9 May 2013 | 1:03 amIn 2010, Louis Vuitton offered a novel way of reading the time with the Tambour Spin Time collection. Its secret: the hours are revealed by cubes which rotated simultaneously to show either a neutral or numbered face. Building on this now iconic movement, Louis Vuitton is developing a timepiece with a new reference dedicated to Regattas: the Tambour Spin Time Regatta. A few Regatta rules Great importance has always been given to the time which precedes the start of a Regatta race. Before the start of the Regatta, a time period set by the organiser of the event allows the skippers and crew to…

Rebecca Minkoff Ragini Slide Sandals

5 Tech Gadgets That Celebrities Can’t Live Without
9 May 2013 | 4:21 pmCelebrities are notoriously keen on flashing the latest and greatest gadgets on the market. This could have something to do with boatloads of cash that they just don’t know what to do with (um, charity?) or perhaps they simply get freebies from companies looking to capitalize on the advertising opportunities presented by paparazzi snapping pics of celebs holding their devices.

The Cast System: 5 Things I've Learned From a Broken Wrist
10 May 2013 | 3:15 pmLast week, I was feeling particularly self-congratulatory after choosing to take the subway home - so frugal! - one night after a friend's birthday party instead of my usual cab. Congratulatory, that is, until a very hurried and thereby I am assuming very IMPORTANT man slammed into me abruptly on a subway staircase, knocking me down a flight of stairs, bruising my sternum and breaking my wrist in the process. My ER visit was miserable and the pain excruciating, of course, (I'm a big baby in part because I've never broken a bone at all), but if possible, the subsequent annoyances have been… -

Architect Ted Cullinan designs latest Maggie's Centre in Newcastle
17 May 2013 | 12:00 pmFor any architect, the invitation to design a Maggie's Centre is an honour. Charles Jencks, the venerable architecture theorist and his late wife Maggie founded the cancer centres in 1993 after Maggie contracted the disease and wanted a place where she and fellow sufferers could go for support beyond hospital walls.

Each group, named for a Greek god/goddess, is filled with customary over-the-top details that are customary for Damaris creations. A common thread seen in most groups is the use of fine silk tulle and beautiful French lace. Once again we see the return of the deep V-Plunge Bra, which has become a customer favorite (great for when you're wearing a low, plunging neckline!). Naturally we also see the return of the signature back cut-out panties as well as the… -

Thrift shop dress makeover
14 May 2013 | 6:24 pmToday I found this dress at a local charity shop. The fabric was ideal, and I've had my eye on a few $100 shirtdresses making the rounds on pinterest, so I figured it might have potential! It was only $10, but I had a $10 credit, so it was freeeeeeeeee! Before: Auditioning for sister wives. After: Frolicking barefoot in the grass. I think it turned out pretty cute, I raised the shoulders, nipped in the sides, hemmed it up, and added pockets. Because what's the point of sewing if you can't have pockets?Dress-Charity shopHat-Urban Eccentric Vintage -

The hat is from Betsy Hatter, and it arrived just in time for the beautiful spring weather this week! It has so much romantic simplicity, not to mention looks pretty on display above my dresser.

16 May 2013 | 1:00 pmFashion Staple: Red Shorts Ever since I saw Revenge I’ve wanted to have a fire and ice party. But until I have a house in the Hamptons where I can ask everyone to wear red and white gowns a casual look will just have to do! I matched my sandals to my shorts and kept it crisp on top with an embroidered top and tailored vest. Then I added a leopard wristlet with contrasting trim.

From cropped pants to shift dresses, today’s episode of the A-Z Trend Guide series is all about that stylish era. We’ve seen many graphic prints, like the outfits I showed on E! News in March.

Red Hot
15 May 2013 | 11:47 amFashion Staple: Red Shorts If you like the look of a romper but can’t find the perfect fit, try matching your top and bottom. It resembles a one piece but you can get different sizes, which makes things way easier. To dress up my outfit for a night out, I piled on the gold accessories, then added a floral pump for a Spring finish.

Stain Removal?!?!…Don’t Try It At Home!
16 May 2013 | 10:02 amDry Cleaning Tips Often when we get stains in our clothing, we like to take matters into our own hands. Believing that google is our ally, we ferociously search the internet for “solutions” to what we consider to be “everyday stains.” But more often than not, trying to use home remedies for stains, leads to a bigger problem than you may have initially started with! Here’s a perfect example… A client of ours brought in a piece that she got a small makeup stain on. Thinking that a little dab of water and light rub would solve the problem, she began to… -
All YOU Need to Know About Self Tanner and Drycleaning!
9 May 2013 | 10:35 amDry Cleaning Tips The whole purpose of self tanner is to dye your skin to give you that basking in the sun glow. But the problem with self tanner and your wardrobe is that the “dye” in these products can also stain your clothes permanently, if not handled correctly. First and foremost, never allow any garment to contact your skin while the tanner is wet. You should also not wear light colored garments for at least 12 hours after you have applied the tanner to your skin, because though it may have dried, it can still easily rub off in light colored clothes. Self… -
Lipstick and Clothes, just DONT go together!
30 Apr 2013 | 9:50 amDry Cleaning Tips Women love a vibrant red lip, but what happens when it gets on clothing?? What’s a girl or a guy to do?! The bad news is that because lipstick is made from wax, oil and pigment (dye), there isn’t a whole lot that you can do. And in fact, if you get some on you when you are out to dinner or at work, you should resist the temptation to remove the stain on your own. Rubbing lipstick with water or seltzer is just going to make the stain worse, because it spreads the lipstick, making a small red stain a large pink one. On garments that are dry clean only, a… -
Why is cold storage important for furs and leathers?
23 Apr 2013 | 10:26 amDry Cleaning Tips So why is cold storage important for furs and leathers???…The simple answer is that it preserves the skins more than if they were to be stored at room temperature. As fur, leather and suede are all skins, over time they degrade. This degradation process causes the skins to become stiff and eventually fall apart. By lowering the temperature of the environment, it slows the molecular activity. And if this molecular activity is kept to a minimum, the less these items will degrade over time. The optimal temperature for cold storage is 55 degrees F, with a… -
Can You Wash Wool?
9 Apr 2013 | 6:49 amDry Cleaning Tips Wool is a very interesting fabric. A fiber that becomes problematic once it is exposed to water, heat and agitation, it can be a bit of a challenge when it comes to cleaning… Especially at home. While technically wool does not shrink, it does appear to shrink once washed. The individual fibers have scales and when the fibers get wet, the scales open up and catch onto the fibers next to them. As the fibers dry, the scales cause the individual fibers to “ratchet” closer together, called “felting.” Once felted, wool cannot be stretched back to the original…

New Obsession: Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Color
29 Mar 2013 | 8:57 amLast month, I posted about my search for a new moisturizing lipstick, and how I had discovered a good one by Laura Mercier. Immediately upon reading that last post, my sister texted me in a frenzy. "Return the tube now and get yourself the Bobbi Brown creamy lip color." I wasn't about to exchange a used tube of perfectly good lipstick, so I decided to put the Bobbi Brown one on a list for another day. Then the other day, I was running to a meeting and had not had time to refresh my lipstick. Walking into a Sephora, I scouted the Bobbi Brown section and decided to try… -

Well, we posed that very question to Michael Kaplan, costume designer for Star Trek Into Darkness — an industry pro who's also worked on Blade Runner and Fight Club, to name a few.

A House on Stilts with A View of The Western Australian Coast
17 May 2013 | 7:00 amHow would you feel about living in a house held up angled galvanized steel beams? If it looked anything like this number from David Barr + Ross Brewin Architects in Perth, Western Australia, I’d take my chances. Built around the concept of a suburban beach house, this 150 square meter box on stilts is clad in white colorbond steel (for low heat absorption) with the interiors skinned with sustainably sourced timber. 3 bedrooms with separate living and eating spaces, the most striking area has to be the outdoors viewing deck looking out to the coast. Take a look around in the… -

His photographs are haunting documents of those who inhabit the cities where he travels and the traces that they leave behind. Thompson explores street photography as an art form that is not…

HOOD BY AIR "MORPH" | Video
17 May 2013 | 8:55 pmDespite origins dating back to the mid-2000s, HOOD BY AIR has reemerged in recent times and enjoyed a meteoric rise. Under the creative direction of founder Shayne Oliver, the brand has seemingly found itself at the center of a new movement in streetwear. Stylistically it has come to represent an intersection of Oliver's hometown New York edge with a certain high fashion disposition. This formula has yielded quite the eclectic mix of followers which has gotten behind the brand's defined high street and at times androgynous aesthetic. A short video titled "MORPH" outlines the brand's… -

Vintage Santa Cruz Beach Postcard Photos
16 May 2013 | 8:05 amSanta Cruz circa 1941. Long boards and long days were welcomed by the Santa Cruz Surfing Club. Again Santa Cruz at the Beach Boardwalk. This one does not have a date, but look, almost everyone is fully dressed. My best guess in early 1900s. Beach thongs greet new buildings and paved boardwalk, season 1954. Fabulous right. One of these days I'll head over to Santa Cruz and try and take a current image of these scenes so we can compare and contrast the difference. What fun! -
Vintage Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk
13 May 2013 | 8:41 amBrother was it warm here in Ca this last weekend. I picked up a few postcards this weekend because: 1) they are beach related 2) It's Santa Cruz, just over the hill from me 3) Most importantly check out the image by enlarging it. Do you see what I see???? Look at THAT BEACH UMBRELLA. Oh my oh my oh my. I do want that! I would go perfect with my vintage swimsuit and my vintage Jantzen beach towel. And I'd bet a nickel that is a Jantzen umbrella with the red diving girl adorning it. There is no date on the postcard, I'm guessing the image is from the 1940s. I need to take these images (I've got… -

Bathing Costumes & Accessories from 1917
8 May 2013 | 7:20 amThe year is 1917 and this catalogue shows some of the bathing attire and accessories one would have worn back in the day. Not just a bathing suit or dress, but stockings, shoes, and yes a rubber cap. I love to look at period catalogues like this to see the fashions from year to year and the prices! .35 for a rubber swimcap in 1917 translates to $6.36 in todays dollar. Not sure about you but I wouldn't even know where to go to get a swimcap for $6.00! -

LAHORE: In a Fashion Week Fnk
29 Apr 2013 | 8:39 pmPardon the pun, but 'East meets West' is quite possibly the most worn-out description used in Fashion. This is what makes Huma Adnan's latest offerings for FnkAsia, so hard to put into words. Drawing inspiration from East Bengal, modern cuts are heightened with a spirited infusion of exotic coloring, extracted from the region's fruit and vegetables. Accessories are cleverly exaggerated in what appears to be a humorous nod to the culture as viewed from an'other' perspective. The collection seems to celebrate stark difference via an obvious mockery; but what and who it mocks, we will… -

More Jewels — for Jazz Babies!
1 May 2013 | 5:15 pmI’m so excited about the “Jazz Baby” Collection! Jazz Baby was a term used to describe the mad-cap flappers of the 1920’s who danced to the new hot jazz, sipped champagne cocktails and looked utterly gorgeous in frocks designed by Chanel, Fortuny, and Vionnet. Their necklaces were often Sautoirs and their earrings Art Deco shapes, faceted crystal and semi-precious stones. I’ve designed a number of Jazz Baby pieces—homages if you will to that great Art Deco era of marvelous design, and of Gatsby, Busby Berkeley, Valentino and the Femme Fatale!

This week, Gap’s version of the ankle pant trend is my pick for Today’s Coveted Working Look. Gap’s slim cropped pants are a refined stretch dobby weave, which will hug your curves while not pulling. These pants are perfect for a polished outfit for work, a dressier… -

I attempted to incorporate all of these things in this week’s outfit, which combines bright coral trousers with a feminine lace top and neutral flats with a touch of gold. Top it all off with a simple necklace, and… -
Today’s Coveted Working Look: Tahari by Arthur S. Levine
8 May 2013 | 9:00 amAs the days slowly roll by and April comes to a close, I’ve ramped up my graduation dress shopping with abandon. I was in San Francisco last week for a job interview, and got in a day early to get settled and prepare for the full day ahead of me. Thankfully, there was a ton of shopping nearby, so I headed out for a few hours before dinner to take a look at all of spring’s newest dresses to see if I could find anything for graduation. I ended up coming up empty-handed for a graduation dress, but I did find several dresses that would be perfect for the office in the spring and…

It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! It’s Superhero Superstars!
17 May 2013 | 12:00 pmSiouxsie Sioux by Butcher Billy. While I can’t pinpoint the exact time and place that this happened, at some point in my early teen years, the super-heroines of my youth were quietly replaced by a hero of a different kind: musical superstars. While graphic novels were still near and dear to my heart, I was captivated by the unique sound and look of artists like Siouxsie and the Banshees and Morrissey. So imagine my delight when I came across these mash-ups of superheroes and post-punk royalty by artist Butcher Billy. Punctuated by the bold graphics and vibrant hues so ubiquitous with… -

By Design: A Peek at Our Blog Style Guide
16 May 2013 | 4:55 pmOne of the most exciting parts of our recent blog revamp was tackling a complete visual refresh — we knew that a new name and responsive site structure weren’t enough, and that realizing Story by ModCloth meant taking on every pixel, post, and .png. For our lead graphic designer on the project, Erynn, this meant translating the inspiration and ideas behind Story into a design style guide for Story (pictured above), and using that as the starting point for our new header, sidebar banners, post graphics, and other designs you see on the blog today. We swung by Erynn’s desk to… -
Vintage View: The Original Festival Fashionistas
16 May 2013 | 12:00 pmWith spring and summer music festivals well under way, we decided to go straight to the source to find festival fashion inspiration from those original music festivals that started it all in the ’60s and ’70s.

Hot Items: Pierre Hardy for NARS
2 May 2013 | 11:44 pmPierre Hardy is known for his eccentric prints and shocking colors. This time he gets to express himself in different style, the make-up. The lucky brand that gets to team up with him is NARS. Available in blush and polish, you can definitely feel his spirit and art in each stroke.

Both are created specially with Pierre… -
History of Pucci, All Wrapped in 416 Pages
29 Apr 2013 | 10:10 pmEmilio Pucci might have left us 21 years ago but you can still feel his spirit and legacy until today. Born in one of the oldest noble families in Florence, his eyes for fashion were captured beautifully through his unique details of kaleidoscopic prints and colors. If we’re talking about these two elements, I must say that he was the only designer that could pull it off — The Pucci prints are like breaths of fresh air — They’re jolly, artsy and so avant-garde. It is the kind of style that you will wear with pride. They’re so feminine and artistic without being…

Bob Dylan's "Desire": The Story Of The "Hurricane", Part 1
10 May 2013 | 11:39 pmCover of Desire by Garrett Sawyer One day in 1975 Bob Dylan went to Rahway State Prison in Woodbridge Township, New Jersey to visit a prisoner. But this was no ordinary prisoner. This was Rubin "Hurricane" Carter. Carter had once been ranked as the #3 contender for the middleweight title. That was, however, before. Before three people were murdered during a robbery at the Lafayette Grill in Carter's hometown of Patterson, New Jersey. Before he and an acquaintance named John Artis were arrested for the crime. Before they were convicted. Before he was given two consecutive terms and one… -
Bob Dylan's "Blood On The Tracks", Part 3: The Scandalous Affairs of Poets
3 May 2013 | 9:53 pmDylan at St. Lawrence Uni (Wikipedia) by Garrett Sawyer When you think about it you'll realize very few lyricists are well read enough to make reference to other poets in their own lyrics and make it sound so natural, so appropriate. Only Paul Simon immediately comes to mind when he wrote in "The Dangling Conversation", "And you read your Emily Dickinson and I my Robert Frost". In one of his songs from "Blood on the Tracks", however, Bob Dylan equals Simon, poet for poet. Let's keep going: You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go In complete contrast to the venom that was "Idiot Wind" this… -

The Story Behind Simon And Garfunkel's Hit Song "The Boxer": Who's The One Getting Beaten Up?
20 Apr 2013 | 6:17 amSimon & Garfunkel (Wikipedia) by Garrett Sawyer Simon and Garfunkel's "The Boxer" was quite a story in and of itself. Clocking in at over five minutes it slowly but steadily builds to a tremendous climax before falling back into a long quiet ending that lands as soft as a feather. The innovation required to record the song was extraordinary, requiring 100 hours to record. Take the lush vocals of the interludes, for instance. Sung in a recording studio? Nope. Try St. Paul's Chapel at Columbia University where the acoustics were provided by the church's tiled dome. And an 8-track recorder… -
Classic Rock: The Roar of the Electric Guitar
13 Apr 2013 | 12:32 amGypsy Sun and Rainbows by Michael Pickett From the first overdriven guitar sounds of Chuck Berry to the slabs of golden tone from Eddie Van Halen, classic rock guitars are a study unto themselves in the evolution of popular music through the decades. Naturally, amplification and technology have something to say about the sounds that unfolded from the 60s through the 90s, but cataloging the elements virtuoso players like Jimi Hendrix, Alex Lifeson and the aforementioned Van Halen brought to the party is equally important. While Scotty Moore fueled Elvis' recordings and Chuck Berry gave us some…

Women’s Fashion Advice – BB Cream To Protect Your Skin
13 May 2013 | 4:27 amIf you’ve been to a makeup counter anytime in the past year or glanced through a magazine, you’ve probably seen a mysterious new product called BB Cream. It’s advertised as an all-inclusive, all-in-one makeup product. BB Cream, which stands for “blemish balm”, was invented by a German dermatologist in the 1960′s to protect patient’s skin after surgery. The formula was further developed in Korea in the 1980′s to correct and conceal a variety of skin ailments, from sun spots to acne scars–essentially a kind of super foundation for the… -
Men’s Fashion Trend – Celebrities Rock Their Prescription Eyewear
10 May 2013 | 4:28 amEven though there have been times when glasses were not “in”, this year is not one of those times. People have really embraced wearing their eyeglasses as much as a fashion accessory as a necessity. One guy that is always on the top of the list when it comes to fashionable eyewear is Johnny Depp. Whether he is on TV or in the magazines, he always seems to be wearing a new cool pair. I’d like to see his collection because it must take up a whole closet on its own. This particular pair is one of many different Moscot eyeglasses that Johnny has in both clear and tinted glass.

Stain Removal?!?!…Don’t Try It At Home!
16 May 2013 | 10:02 amDry Cleaning Tips Often when we get stains in our clothing, we like to take matters into our own hands. Believing that google is our ally, we ferociously search the internet for “solutions” to what we consider to be “everyday stains.” But more often than not, trying to use home remedies for stains, leads to a bigger problem than you may have initially started with! Here’s a perfect example… A client of ours brought in a piece that she got a small makeup stain on. Thinking that a little dab of water and light rub would solve the problem, she began to… -
All YOU Need to Know About Self Tanner and Drycleaning!
9 May 2013 | 10:35 amDry Cleaning Tips The whole purpose of self tanner is to dye your skin to give you that basking in the sun glow. But the problem with self tanner and your wardrobe is that the “dye” in these products can also stain your clothes permanently, if not handled correctly. First and foremost, never allow any garment to contact your skin while the tanner is wet. You should also not wear light colored garments for at least 12 hours after you have applied the tanner to your skin, because though it may have dried, it can still easily rub off in light colored clothes.

Lipstick and Clothes, just DONT go together!
30 Apr 2013 | 9:50 amDry Cleaning Tips Women love a vibrant red lip, but what happens when it gets on clothing?? What’s a girl or a guy to do?! The bad news is that because lipstick is made from wax, oil and pigment (dye), there isn’t a whole lot that you can do. And in fact, if you get some on you when you are out to dinner or at work, you should resist the temptation to remove the stain on your own. Rubbing lipstick with water or seltzer is just going to make the stain worse, because it spreads the lipstick, making a small red stain a large pink one. On garments that are dry clean only, a… -
Why is cold storage important for furs and leathers?
23 Apr 2013 | 10:26 amDry Cleaning Tips So why is cold storage important for furs and leathers???…The simple answer is that it preserves the skins more than if they were to be stored at room temperature. As fur, leather and suede are all skins, over time they degrade. This degradation process causes the skins to become stiff and eventually fall apart. By lowering the temperature of the environment, it slows the molecular activity. And if this molecular activity is kept to a minimum, the less these items will degrade over time. The optimal temperature for cold storage is 55 degrees F, with a… -
Can You Wash Wool?
9 Apr 2013 | 6:49 amDry Cleaning Tips Wool is a very interesting fabric. A fiber that becomes problematic once it is exposed to water, heat and agitation, it can be a bit of a challenge when it comes to cleaning… Especially at home. While technically wool does not shrink, it does appear to shrink once washed. The individual fibers have scales and when the fibers get wet, the scales open up and catch onto the fibers next to them. As the fibers dry, the scales cause the individual fibers to “ratchet” closer together, called “felting.” Once felted, wool cannot be stretched back to the original…

It is unlike other shop windows as it is open at the back and does not only face forward, so I wanted to design something 'in the round' so to speak. Working on a spherical object was the perfect way to embrace this aspect of the space. I liked how the organic, shaggy irregular surface of the beaded glass... read more » View Gallery (15)… -

Macramé Is The New Black
14 May 2013 | 11:51 amWhat the hell is macramé? In short: instead of weaving and knitting, you knot. You don’t use threads, you use cords. It traditionally is cotton, linen, hemp but it can be any thick yarn really. The classic look is that of a loose knitted “openwork”, and it screams summer from all of its knots! When I was a child back in the 90s I used to have plenty of macramé pieces of clothing. I loved it! Macramé, tricot and basically everything with holes in it. I still have that addiction, and now I’m always on the hunt for devoré and the like, but this summer I’m… -

I Want to Be a Mermaid: Hair-spiration Galore!
2 May 2013 | 10:38 amIf you still haven’t tried out dyeing your hair a crazy colour, you’re missing out darling! A couple of years ago you could use an excuse like it was “not safe for work”, or that people would glance at you on the street, or that it’s toxic for your hair. Nowadays you can throw all these things in the bin, cause they’re absolutely not valid anymore. The only excuse you could have for not dyeing your hair if you love it, it’s that bleaching it is likely to ruin it a bit: but I’m telling you something, yu can cut your hair, and they do grow up… -

Summer is always more laid back, down to earth and relaxed… a perfect time to reflect on the madness that is everyday life. This week’s roundup did a lot of reflecting, from the poses we put on for our blogs, the hamster wheel of personal style on the web, going modest when everyone else is baring it all, letting our hair be it’s natural beautiful self, and even embracing your “eye bags.” If you’re wondering if fashion blogging is shallow or… -
The Shallow and The Conscious: a Fashion Blogs Debate
23 Apr 2013 | 3:00 amShallowness / consciousness I’m talking about the two trends that are raging these days in the fashion and fashion blogging community. We have those who literally don’t care about anything, not what they’re wearing, if they’re wearing symbols they don’t know the meaning of, if they’re wearing real foxes tails hanging from their bags and so on. On the opposite side we have the fashion conscious: the ones shopping vintage not because it’s trendy but because it’s more sustainable, the ones that are not wearing fur, leather or too chemical processed…

Highlights include: “I ain’t kissing nobody’s [expletive] babies. I’ll drop your baby and you’ll [expletive] sue me…” He’s just glowing with the promise of fatherhood.

Leggings for women over 40
10 May 2013 | 10:14 amI first started seeng these pants in the gym. Long, black, form fitting, stretch pants that looked great on the young and skinny, and hid a multitude of flaws on everyone else. Then, they became street wear with $90 price tags. At first, I couldn't see what the fuss was about: $90 for a pair of leggings I could get for $15? The difference is in the sheerness and weight of the fabric. Spend less (or buy a poor-qualty one) and you'll look like you're wearing tights. But the right kind flatters and holds you in like a lightweight pair of Spanx, is thick enough to actually look… -

What I notice first about others is their style. I can tell by just looking at someone what their style and fashion sense is. I love sitting down at a busy place and seeing people walk by and seeing what they are wearing. Another thing I notice n women is their makeup, is it too much, just right, or not enough?

Healthy Diet Tips for Breast Feeding Moms
13 May 2013 | 6:44 pmBreast feeding is great for baby but it also has benefits for mom. When I was pregnant I decided to breast feed my baby but, what I didn’t know was much more closely I would need to watch my diet after pregnancy. I pretty assumed that I could eat whatever I wanted, boy was I wrong! I soon learned that certain foods make my baby gassy and fussy. I have had to avoid anything gassy such as beans and certain veggies and also cut out spicy foods. Another thing to avoid is caffeine. I suggest cutting back to one cup,some women can get away with two cups. Avoiding alcohol is a no… -

Street Style Fashion: After Work
17 May 2013 | 8:46 amWelcome to today’s street style fashion post! I think it’s really important to wind down after work, and for me, there’s no better way to do so than taking a walk and snapping some photos. I’ve not done this little activity for a really long time, but I did so last night and it was amazingly refreshing. Enjoy the shots! And hey, if you like one or two of them, feel free to share the photo(s) on Pinterest. She was lovely. The mixture of the blues was spot on. Very sharp. Take note how the tie matches the pant color.

An Awesome Wingtip from Cole Haan
16 May 2013 | 6:33 amI’ve been a fan of Cole Haan shoes for a while now, and their Great Jones Wingtip certainly doesn’t disappoint. The Cole Haan trend for the last couple of years is to infuse color into classic designs, and they continue to do so this year. The Great Jones Wingtip comes in a variety of color options, but I opted for grey, or as they call it, Ironstone. The grey will go with just about everything, but more importantly, the shoe sole is mint green. And if you’ve been paying attention to fashion, you know mint green is definitely “in” and will be for quite a while. -
Lets Take a Walk: The Highline in NYC
15 May 2013 | 7:27 amInstead of just focussing on New York City street style today, I thought I’d take you for a little walk. One of the many treasures in this city is an elevated park, appropriately called, The Highline. Back in the day it was an elevated train track, but as the city grew the tracks stopped being used. That is, until it became wildly popular green-space. The photos below were taken on my way to The Highline, and a few were snapped while we were on it. Oh, and there’s one little Ben Affleck photo surprise at the end. Enjoy! This photo was taken shortly after entering the West Village. -

A look at the Empire State Building from 5th Avenue. What did you see first, the striped pants or the sunglasses? Interesting color tones. Seen in the Lower East Side. If you think the photo is about the guy in the green coat, look again. Wonder if he saw Gatsby… -

14 Apr 2013 | 9:43 pmWhat a beautiful California weekend! I am very thankful for sunny skies and warm, yet crisp, weather. We spent all day Saturday on a hike, starting at one of my favorite SF spots – the Lyon Steps in Pacific Heights.

From there, we weave into the Presidio, past the new Presidio Inn, onto the Ecology trail. You all of a sudden are in the woods yet hundreds of feet from the city. The trail then takes you through the Presidio Golf Course and down Park Trail to Crissy Field. Nearly… -

Working mom outfit idea: Shades of grey
17 May 2013 | 5:00 amUntitled #132 by margotreine Image collage site Polyvore is a great tool for discovering your personal style–and finding outfit ideas. Today’s More Fabulous Friday features a look to try from Polyvore. When you wear a lot of grey and black, the monochromatic look can sometimes feel a little dreary. That’s why I like this variation on the theme; it breaks up the palette by adding a chambray shirt and a patterned scarf. Subtle, but effective. You can recreate this outfit by adding a lighter colored piece to any grey and black outfit you already wear. Look for a patterned scarf or necklace… -

13 May 2013 | 2:53 pmLindsay Lohan vs Brooke Mueller: Celebrity SmackdownWhat these two Adderall addicts need is a swift kick. Lindsay Lohan and Brooke Mueller are together at the Betty Ford Clinic. Birds of a feather. Two of the tackiest hags that have relentlessly bitten the hands that feed them are sequestered in Rancho Mirage and Lord knows would it be fun to be a fly on the wall for a few minutes. Longer than that would be painful. Lindsay has threatened to escape the court ordered rehab due to the fact that the doctors @BettyFordCenter are not letting her do drugs. “No Adderall for you!” With… -
The Galliano Conundrum – Par Deux
9 May 2013 | 1:20 pmThe Galliano Conundrum – Par DeuxThe Endlessness Of Being Unforgiven Just when John Galliano thought it was safe to go back in the (fashion) water, rather get out from drowning under water, comes The Galliano Conundrum-Par Deux. The Galliano Conundrum started that fateful day two years ago when John was drowning his sorrows in a pub in Le Marais when his barrage of hateful anti-Semitic comments came spewing out of his mouth like Linda Blair in The Exorcist. Galliano looking and sounding like a tragic mess was caught on camera saying shit like “I Love Hitler”, a seminal moment that… -

Dear Boston
16 Apr 2013 | 6:01 pmDear Boston Dear Boston, Words cannot adequately describe how sad and sorry I am for your tremendous loss of life, loss of limbs, loss of innocence, and loss of freedom. What happened at the Boston Marathon finish line is unconscionable and shows us how cowardly these perpetrators are by not claiming responsibility. On the heels of Sandy Hook tragedy and the many senseless acts of violence that are happening daily throughout our “United States”, we are–or at least I am–beginning to feel helpless and really pissed. Serial gross baboons are making us feel so vulnerable… -
Justin Bieber Is His Own Best Belieber
15 Apr 2013 | 9:15 amJustin Bieber Is His Own Best BelieberTeam Anne or Team Justin. Justin Bieber is embroiled in yet another media flap following his recent visit to the Anne Frank House Museum. The social media furor (no pun intended) that followed his comments written in the guest book has Twitter a twitter with harsh comments and negative criticisms of the nineteen year old mega-superstar. Justin Bieber wrote, “It was truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber.” But is that statement really all that insensitive? Let’s break it down.

Zoe Saldana - Allure Cover and Spread
14 May 2013 | 6:50 pmZoe Saldana - Allure June Cover and Spread Zoe, girl. I love you. And I know you feel like you've had a rough go of it what with your ill advised choices of male companions but... really? I'm trying to be sympathetic but when you look like this, it's hard. 115 pounds of grit and heartache? And unmitigated gall? I blame Allure. I know you didn't have anything to do with this. But it's not a good look. And what about the impressionable 30 and 40 year olds that will pin your images to their pinterest boards named thinspo? You're beautiful, sucessful, and insanely fit, isn't that enough? -

Emoji Manicure - Assembly NYFW Inspired
23 Feb 2013 | 2:10 pmEmoji Manicure - Assembly NYFW Inspired I tried out the Emoji Manicure that Assembly used for their models at New York Fashion Week. Pretty simple, I only used yellow polish and black design paint for the emoticons, never went back to embellish with any white details. It took me a while longer than it normally does because I kept painting my right hand upside down, which is right side up to me, but upside down to everyone else, and well... you get the idea.

Flowers for Lunch
15 May 2013 | 12:00 amHave you ever had flowers for lunch? I have! Last week I was invited to try the lunch menu at The Bulgari Hotel that had been created for the Chelsea Flower Show. I’ve never been to the Chelsea Flower Show in person, but I watch it on TV every year, is that sad? I’d love to go and take my Mum with me as I know she loves a good wander round looking at flowers too. I’d also never been to the Bulgari Hotel. I looked it up, it looked posh, so I immediately panicked about all the terrible and embarrassing things I could do while I was there. The day didn’t start… -

Spectral Apartment by Betillon / Dorval-Bory
16 May 2013 | 12:00 amArchitects Raphaël Bétillon and Nicolas Dorval-Bory want to challenge our perception of space, light and shade. Spectral Apartment by Betillon / Dorval-Bory, a renovated, space-challenged Parisian studio provides thought-provoking impulses for a new form of building. Purists in their architectural approach, Spectral Apartment captivates by its simplicity and impeccable, seductive white. The amount of natural light entering the building through two high windows is limited. However, thankfully, the studio has two different sources of artificial light which affect the perception of the… -

Burberry Prorsum Fall 2013 RTW
2 May 2013 | 12:00 amIn Burberry Prorsum terms, Britain’s classical tailoring heritage depicts a marriage of tradition with the avant-garde. Burberry Prorsum’s Creative Director Christopher Bailey experimented with rubber trenches for the Fall 2013 RTW collection. Translucent rubber trench coats and pencil skirts, at first glance seem conventional but reveal the subversive style of English aesthetics. A mix of kinky latex and perforations of gold rings can look outrageous no matter how classic the Burberry signature trench is—even when worn with lady-like, kitten, wedge heels. Christopher Bailey’s vision… -
Villa L by Powerhouse Company and RAU
25 Apr 2013 | 12:00 amThere is a kind of ambiguity between public and private, particularly in our increasingly networked world. We are turned into voyeurs. At times, we have nothing to hide as a result of repeated exposure. Glass houses, where one’s privacy is invaded, are always objects of fascination and a wonderful tease. Villa L by Powerhouse company and RAU is located in a dreamy site, overlooking the woods, outside Utrecht, Netherlands. Its translucent structure is an invitation for self-exposure, a modernist’s promise of rationality and abstraction. To balance privacy with transparency, the Villa… -
Townhouse II by Norm Architects
18 Apr 2013 | 12:00 amApparently, NORM architects chose the name NORM in keeping with the Scandinavian traditions and norms to respond to the challenges of Modernism. NORM architects Kasper Rønn and Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen built Townhouse II in Copenhagen, Denmark in response to the Scandinavian design philosophy, which suggests, hand-crafted perfectionism, modesty, quietude and purposefulness. Stripped back to reveal the beauty of an empty white space, Townhouse II contrasts with the traditional charm of a brick townhouse. The concept blurs the lines of the role of tradition and freedom of geometric abstraction.

Worked Her Dress Or Looked A Mess: The Met Gala 2013

This event has been an annual affair at the Met since 1948 and is considered to be fashion's "night of nights."

The designer added a little pit of quirkiness (re: zebra print) to his classic feminine silhouettes and floral prints, making the collection both fun and elegant.Plus, the pieces retail between $128 to $360, so they are a bargain compared to his usual 4-digit price tags. -
These Nina Ricci Shades Already Sold Out Once–Get ‘Em Before They’re Gone Again
17 May 2013 | 10:00 amFor years, I've refused to splurge on sunglasses because I always end of losing them or sitting on them. But after seeing these amazing Nina Ricci L'ingenue Sunglasses ($352), I'm changing my tune because, well, they are just that freakin' amazing. The shape is universally flattering, the color will look great against tan summer skin and they offer 100% UV Protection. Yes, they are quite expensive, but if you spend this much on a pair of sunglasses chances are you'll care for them like they're gold. And as it turns out, I'm not the only person obsessed with these sunnies. They're already…

Summer Escape Series: Style Refresh
16 May 2013 | 9:00 pmFor the second part of my Summer Escape Series, I'm focusing on a style refresh - fashion, beauty and accessories to amp up your look for the season! The pieces I picked are perfect for a day at the beach, or for a mini-vacay! I always treat myself to at least one bold summer piece, usually in a print or color I wouldn't normally reach for. My carryall is also full of summer beauty essentials - in this case, a pretty blue polish, and bronzer for a warm glow. And to give me an extra boost of energy and satisfy my sweet tooth - my Starbucks! I love the new look of the bottles (it makes them… -

Expect event recaps, outfit posts & ideas, summer beauty, foodie posts, and anything else related to summer in NYC.

Currently Coveting: Fragrance Picks

I've had samples of quite a few scents lately, and these are my faves!

What To Wear: Cutout Details
8 May 2013 | 9:13 amThough the theme of this year's Met Gala was punk, a few of my favorite looks were ones that didn't adhere to the theme. Carey Mulligan (how sexy are her shoes!), Emma Watson and Miranda Kerr all arrived in sexy black dresses with cutout details that I can't get enough of. And let's be honest - I'll take any excuse to continue to wear black. A slinky black top or dress with slivers of skin showing will be so chic this summer. Check out a few pieces to get the look below. photos via

Carly Hunter Pocket Dress
17 May 2013 | 10:26 amThis simple dress, available in ivory and black, from Carly Hunter‘s Autumn/Winter 2013 collection, “Escape into Reality”, is a favourite of mine. The dress is made from cotton linen and lined with 100% silk, following Carly’s dedication to luxury and quality. It also features an invisible zip closure and two front welt and two front patch pockets, ensuring complete practicality. At first I thought the dress may be too simple, but the pockets definitely add to the piece, creating a blank canvas for what will undoubtedly be an impeccable, edgy outfit. Dress, £260.00,… -
It could take no vacant dream
15 May 2013 | 3:25 pmThe weather slipped a little earlier this week, meaning that, despite my reluctance, I was forced to throw on a jacket. However, I dealt with it, mainly because the jacket was my Levi’s denim jacket, a simple favourite of mine when the big blue guy in the sky decides to disappear. I paired it with a basic H&M t-shirt and a very comfortable pair of black H&M jeans. My Burton belt and plimsolls also made an appearance. This ensemble is definitely one of my lazier ones, but it’s great for when both the weather and I are feeling a little tired and down in the dumps. Jacket… -

I Love Food - Wolfgang Puck at the Hotel Bel Air
16 May 2013 | 5:11 amWhile I was staying at the Hotel Bel Air , it seemed a crime not to also give the Wolfgang Puck restaurant a whirl. I've been to The Cut in London for breakfast a couple times, so I knew I was going to love this one too. I am quite fond of Puck's mix of modern Californian, European and Mediterranean cuisine. The restaurant at the Bel Air - in true Los Angeles fashion - focuses on healthy -
Inspiration - Sophisticated Tomboys
15 May 2013 | 2:47 amIf you asked me to describe the most perfect outfit, something that had me fantasising since I was 16, it would have to be Le Smoking by Yves Saint Laurent - which most definitely ain't Laurent without Yves - worn without a shirt. Another favourite is the simple white shirt that will reveal just a hint of skin or lace. This subtle sexiness, as practiced by many ladies whose style I admire, -
Monsieur Robot X Dr Martens
10 May 2013 | 4:09 amWhen Dr. Martens asked me to style some boots from their SS13 collection I was understandably excited. Dr. Martens is an iconic brand in the true sense of the word.

Dr. Martens footwear long ago transcended mere fashion and became a totemic item, one which holds a crucial place in the aesthetics -

17 May 2013 | 6:00 amIf you haven't heard, I've been ridiculously sick for the past few weeks. I always end up getting the flu, crazy allergies, and colds all at the same time. Ugh I am so unhealthy. But there's a silver lining! I now know a few secrets about how to keep myself looking fabulous even when I'm feeling like crap.Soothe Irritated SkinAll the extra facial rubbing and itching that comes along with the flu can leave your skin irritated (especially if you're like me and have dry skin anyway). Look for products loaded with anti-inflammatory ingredients like Green Tea and Willow Herb Extract to calm… -
Fashion Faux Pas: The Bag Jacket
16 May 2013 | 6:00 amSo, I randomly stumbled upon this gem of a jacket...I have literally no idea who designed it or what possessed them to create something so hideous. But honestly, that's probably a good thing, since I'd likely hunt them down and punch them in the face.I get the idea--it's supposed to be a cute/funny jacket that you can tote around your food, or other personal items, in. I'm guilty of using clear fashion products myself. I spent the better half of 7th grade using a see-through backpack. But that's the thing. I was in 7th grade. I had plenty of… -
A Wonder Bra For Your Ear Lobes!
14 May 2013 | 6:00 amWhen I was about six, I got into a horribly, "traumatic" (at least accessory-wise), accident. While riding my bike, I crashed into a fence and my pierced ears have never been the same since.To spare you the horrific details, let's just say that my ear lobes were stretched to the max. Because I loved large, chunky earrings (yes, even back then), the holes were almost completely stretched out, leaving behind what look more like lines, rather than holes.I've tried a lot of things over the years, eventually settling on wearing two earrings in each individual hole… -
Look Lovely While you Lounge
11 May 2013 | 12:00 pmNo matter what time of year, I am always cold, while my boyfriend is perpetually hot and sweaty. There's no real reason for this, but because of our annoying predicament, I usually have to layer on clothing, even when I'm just in my "comfies" (as my Grandma and Aunt Alma tend to call them).That means I'm always looking around for bathrobes and nightgowns that look as cute as they are comfortable and cozy.Right now, I'm loving this Polka Dot Sleep Robe from Forever 21.The robe is simply gorgeous. Polka dots are one of my many weaknesses (bonus--they never go out of style), and the… -
Margaret Vera Bracelet GIVEAWAY!
10 May 2013 | 6:00 amI'm quite obsessed with accessories (just an FYI, in case my millions of accessories posts didn't give it away), so when I found Margaret Vera's adorable bracelets, I went crazy with delight!The line, which includes tons of accessories--not just bracelets--was created as a way for the designer to honor the amazing women in her family. Having traveled a lot, she's taken in everything she's seen as inspiration to create this fabulous line. Most of the items in her collection are what I'd consider to be boho-chic, which is definitely in style at the moment. It's also one of…

Introducing the Cultural Research Network
15 May 2013 | 2:10 pmby Ian David MossWay back when I was a fresh-faced intern with the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation’s Performing Arts Program almost five years ago now, I made a startling discovery. In the course of researching various conceptions and definitions of cultural asset mapping in preparation for what would eventually become my work here at Fractured Atlas, I came to realize that a significant body of literature existed on the arts and economic/community development with which I had been entirely unfamiliar. That wouldn’t have been so notable except that I had previously taken an… -

bern's winefest | wine tasting event do's and dont's
29 Apr 2013 | 2:00 amBern's Winefest celebrated it's 16th year on April 21, 2013; lucky me was invited to join in the festivities by Mr. Styleosophy. Who doesn't like tasting a multitude of wines with hors d'oeuvres followed up by a handmade-chocolates and dessert bar? I wondered, "what should I wear", which quickly went to "who will drive us home?" What I figured out was the second question mattered way more than the first. My do's and don'ts apply to events for more than 100 attendees. It's the little things that matter with larger events. Do get a hotel room if you do not live close the venue. Catch… -

evolution | back from break
14 Jan 2013 | 3:00 amI lost my mojo for a while dear readers. Started a new job, did a little traveling, and had to get back into the swing of things. And to be honest I thought a lot about the direction in which I wanted to continue blogging. Did I want it continue on about just fashion, or open myself up, show more or who I am? Even writing it down looks funny to me. But my world is so much bigger than just shoes, and fashion. I want to show more of myself, and want this space to evolve with me. So in this new birthday year of 45, I hope you stay along for the ride. You'll see where I like to eat, what I…

It looks just like the vintage dress below that we have in our showroom. The beaded neck detail, and the gold ornaments at the waist (except on ours it is in the back), the train.

Laser Hair Removal 101
9 May 2013 | 8:01 am{Photo: Flickr user o5com} Are you ready for another sweatastic summer? I never am, but at least I’m getting a jumpstart by getting some much-needed laser hair removal. If you’re thinking about giving it a go too, here’s what you need to know. 1. Yes, it works. A lot of women (and men, too) don’t want to take the plunge because of a fear it won’t work. Here’s what to keep in mind: it is hair reduction. Not complete removal. Because of the growth cycle of hair, a simple hormone fluctuation (like, let’s say, pregnancy) can easily bring in a new wave… -
3 Spring Fashion Trends to Just Say “No” To
7 May 2013 | 2:09 pmAs much as I love a new fashion trend sometimes, they’re just downright silly. And this spring’s fashion trends include more than a few that you should just say “no” to. Unflattering, hard to pull off and just plain ugly are a few of the reasons these three spring fashion trends made my list. Midriffs I can’t help thinking of The Fresh Prince of Bell Air and the Saved by the Bell gals running around their high schools in middriff tops. They were cute then. Sort of. But, here’s the thing: it’s a trend most of us can’t pull off and… -

I played a fun game of matchy-matchy today and paired these pretty tights with this dress that you might have spied in my last post. The best thing about wearing hearts on your knees is just how many stares you receive! Really! I was asked five times (!) whether they were really tattoos or tights. Honestly, I’m not quite sure how they didn’t notice, as I had about eight ladders running up each leg by the time it was mid-afternoon. Yep, I’m quite the pro at… -

A couple of months ago now, I was contacted by one of my favourite shoe brands in the world; Swedish Hasbeens, asking if I’d like to style a pair from their latest collection. Err, yes please In fact, I think I was barely even able to wait a full five minutes before I emailed my response. And so here we are..! I chose the beautiful zip-up Emy boots and have been wearing them virtually non-stop. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever been quite so excited for cooler weather! I styled them with a… -

Friday Favourites #1
2 May 2013 | 5:06 pmHow gorgeous is this photo shoot of Tina Yi in the January 2013 issue of Vogue China! Can anyone point me in the general direction of a rainbow flower field, please? Err, bicycle taxidermy. Need I say more? Never before have I wanted a dress so badly in my life! Skeleton print and glow-in-the-dark? Yes yes yes! I am so sad that this has sold out. I will be anxiously refreshing the page until it’s back in stock! Barnaby thought these were a bit creepy – but I fell in love with each and every one of these painted buildings!

15 May 2013 | 3:47 pmWhat began as a dream backed by only $500 in 2002 has grown into an amazing jewelry line that is known globally and worth millions! Kendra Scott sells her luxury line at places like Neiman Marcus and Lord and Taylor and to celebrities such as Eva Longoria and Cameron Diaz. With a motto of “family, fashion and philanthropy,” Scott juggles all of this fashionable success, while raising two sons – and being six months pregnant! – and her family couldn’t be happier for her. “It’s crazy that we started in a dining room and have grown to this,” said Kendra’s mom. “We’re so… -

7 May 2013 | 9:33 pmIt’s hard to believe that this is the fifth annual Austin Fashion Week. The time has certainly flown by, and oh, how the event has changed. Matt Swinney, founder of Austin Fashion Week, has taken the event from a retail-focused event in 2009 to more of a traditional runway/fashion show format. While the runway shows have been held at the Driskill Hotel for two years, they will now be at the new venue, La Zona Rosa. Jury is still out how the new venue will be received, but I’m sure it will be met with open arms. Austin keeps it fashionably weird so I’m sure it will work. The…

Getting Healthier, One Step at a Time
18 May 2013 | 8:30 amI was 18 when my doctor warned me I was at risk for early onset hypertension. Barely an adult, I weighed 235 pounds and had 44% body fat. With a diet high in saturated fats and sugar coupled with a sedentary lifestyle, I was slowly damaging my joints and causing potentially permanent damage to my heart. I walked out of my doctor's office frightened, but determined that I was not going to let myself suffer from a preventable disease. I know now that his early intervention was critical. I vowed then and there to set out on a journey to live a healthier life.The next steps in my journey were not… -
I Love My Doctor!
17 May 2013 | 9:17 amMy first foray in writing fanfiction consumed by online masses was in the Hannibal Lecter fandom. I wrote under a different nom de plume then. At the time, all we had available to us was Red Dragon, Silence of the Lambs (SoTL; book and film) and Hannibal the novel. This was just before the movie came out. We called ourselves Lecterphiles, and we were a naughty bunch that served proudly on the good ‘ship Hannibal/Clarice. The Good Doctor could do no wrong in our eyes, especially mine. I was and am still here for this man. Clarice too, but that’s for another post.Hannibal Lecter, M.D.,… -

16 May 2013 | 5:21 pmMy students during sports day.It was twelve years ago when I called my parents up and announced that shortly after graduation I would moving to Japan to become an English teacher with the Japan Exchange and Teaching Program. There was a palpable silence. I don’t think they thought they heard me correctly. “So you’ve studied Spanish for eight years and you’re moving where?”Yeah. It was perhaps, one of my less logical decisions, but there were adventures to be had and money to be made. No, I didn’t speak Japanese, or really know anything about Japan or teaching, but they gave me… -

Khotso Mokoena aint afraid of no Croc
29 Apr 2013 | 3:22 pmToday was by far the scariest shoot I have ever done. Surounded by 85 crocodiles at the back of Tongaat’s Crocodile Creek, I shot images of Khotso Mokoena as he fulfilled a lifelong goal of jumping over a few of these Nile beasts. Why? Because his surname ‘Mokoena’ literally translates to he/she who swears by a crocodile,” in Sesotho and the animal is the collective identity for the clan. Now that’s paying homage to your heritage! Khotso had no problem clearing the five metre gap, seeing as his personal best is 8.5m, and did the jump a few times for me. I really wish I could… -
