    One season, Jean Paul Gaultier is channeling Captain Jack Sparrow; the next, he's thinking about Aztec rulers. He loves a runway theme, but there were none to study at his low-key showroom presentation for pre-fall. What you noticed, instead, were the Gaultier-isms, all of which looked great: a satin wrap dress with an asymmetrical, bra strap-exposing neckline; the kilt trousers paired with a crisp double-breasted jacket; a high-drama aubergine trench dress with a slit up to there. And on the racks: cashmere marinière sweaters knit every which way and one sharp-looking coat after…

    Every snow-prone city has their gold-medal weather person. Here in Chicagoland, it's Tom Skilling. He explains a snowstorm in isobars, barometric pressure and lake effect potential. And baby, according to Tom, we've got a doozy coming. So where are YOUR snow boots? Pardon the lackluster photo above, but I get a kick out of it. Last week at the Y, I was hanging up my coat before starting my daily trudge on the treadmill when I saw them. Someone's Keen Betty Boots! I pretended to be selecting a Pandora station to listen to when in actuality I was snapping a photo of the boots. Is that weird?

Sure, we can roll our foot around on a tennis ball, wear all manner of torture-looking devices on our feet at night and put our Dr. prescribed orthotics in our P.W. Minor shoes, but come ON! Is that the best we can do? Not according to the Barking Dog who dug up a few great choices to alleviate the pain of plantar fasciitis while looking pretty darn good.

Under secrecy, would enter the mortuary of churches to dissect and illustrate human bodies. Answer: Leonardo Da Vinci If you must shorten his name- call him Leonardo. Referring to him as Da Vinci simply means “from te town of Vinci.” You are probably very familiar with Leonardo. His “face” is well-known..or is it? I was not aware that the above image has been under dispute as to it’s subject’s indentity. I found the…

The stylish crowd, donning their vintage finest, had entered a time warp and every year from 1930 to 1950 was up for celebration. Since 1990 Laurie Gordon and Richard Fishman of Mr. Rick’s Martini Club have specialized in presenting 1930s to 1950s swing dance supper club events at various venues around the Bay Area.

With Sigur Rós taking an “indefinite hiatus” from music this year he is working on his solo effort said to contain predominantly acoustic music and string arrangements from classical composer Nico Muhly.

It was there that we saw Istanbul’s bright shinning and fast rising star, Zeynep Tosun, Maragoni BA and MA graduate. The 28 year old designer learned her couture from working at Alberta Ferretti where designing meant constructing. There was no sketching, it was all highly detailed and intricate construction that led to a garments consideration as part of the next collection. These photos hardly do the Zeynep Tosun’s collection any justice, as the true…

The song is about all of those girls out there who think they are better than everyone and never stop to give a guy the time of day to shine. Mike’s skills…

And was delighted to find out that it just describes the general shape of the V character. Nice, the word ‘chevron’ sounds so cool…and it shouldn’t be tied to gas stations and …oil.  I love stripes, but find it hard to wear them. Sure… except when I want to dress like Beetlejuice!

While some people think fashion is frivolous and contributes nothing to the world, others are curating museum exhibits featuring 20th century clothing. This week’s links made me think about the love/hate camps in fashion. Starting with Grit and Glamour’s post on bloggers getting backlash from fashion insiders, Houndstooth + Tortoiseshell’s refreshingly funny admission of Tavi envy, or Fab Lab’s hate of people who hate.

    Occasionally when I’m browsing through the clothing and accessory areas of Target, something grabs my attention from a design and quality point of view. Last week I found a daring canary yellow checked design that screamed fab Spring chic. The lined Chanel-esque jacket is well made and the fit is not bad at all. The bag is not quite as well made, but perfectly acceptable. There are better ways of styling this jacket than what you see in the picture. For starters, pair the look with blue or white jeans and a black top. Try it over a black sheath dress and slouch boots. Pair it with a denim…

  • The sensitive topic of age-appropriate dressing

    Angie
    8 Feb 2010 | 6:37 am
    I believe in age-appropriate dressing. After a certain age, some styles and looks just don’t work, irrespective of body type. Unfortunately, this doesn’t always go down well. Women often feel unfairly judged and even insulted by the suggestion that they are too old to wear certain things. For me, adapting your style to your age is no different to dressing for your body type, or your fashion persona, or your lifestyle. Like it or not, things do change as we get older. But perhaps my immersion in fashion and style has desensitized me personally to the factors that make this such a touchy…

  • Batwing sleeves: yay or nay

    Angie
    5 Feb 2010 | 7:34 am
    Batwing sleeves are an interesting, breezy look, and they are comfortable to wear. Perhaps surprisingly, they will work for many body types. Whether you are well endowed or small chested, broad shouldered or narrow shouldered, short-waisted or long-waisted, apple shaped or pear shaped, the batwing can be flattering. So they get a big fat 80’s yay from me, but with two aesthetic conditions attached: The fabric must be drapey so that the volume collapses softly along the contour of the body. The bottom half of the top and the hems of the sleeves need to taper back into a sleek silhouette.

    Here’s the last tunic shirt outfit for the week. Today I’m doing the semi formal dress code (here are my casual, smart casual and creative business casual interpretations). I’d wear this type of outfit to a fancy restaurant, a show, a cocktail party, a dressy work event or day wedding. This is a very plain, white tunic shirt so I really had to dress it up to make it look more formal. I belted the look for this dress code because tailoring puts a dressier spin on things. True to my own style I piled on the pearls and used an off-white, studded, waist-cinching belt and oversized,…

It was a violent way to look at my body. ” From the book “Sacrificing Ourselves For Love” There once was a zen master who acquired a new student who was very eager to learn.

A friend of mine directed me to 6pm.com where I found a nice looking pair of rsvp Melbourne boots in black. I was so excited because I got them in the middle of September for a great price! I wore them around to work and school very satisfied with my purchase and the price I got them for, well lets just say I THOUGHT I was satisfied. A few weeks after purchasing them, both of the heels on the boots BROKE APART on the inside! Then about a month and a half later, the sole of one of…

    The Fashionable Housewife
    8 Feb 2010 | 1:45 pm
    I’m super excited about CoverGirl’s latest product – Outlast Lipstain. The innovative new lipstick delivers precision application and color that lasts, without the sticky, heavy film layer of many traditional lipsticks. Lips feel bare, look beautiful – what more could a woman want from her lipcolor? It’s a lot like a marker so it delivers precision application if you have a steady hand. I recommend using a lipliner that’s one shade darker than your skin (NOT the lipstick) and drawing just on top of it in order to achieve the perfect line all the way around.

The Boba Fett version I like the best because it actually looks like a sort of cool hoodie anyway with the hood down, but when you put it up people immediately recognize it if they have the star wars gene You can buy them from…

    …man, the idea is appealing sometimes. Like those times when you wake up, look around, see that no, you didn’t magically do laundry without your own knowledge the day before, and yes, there are only four clean items of clothing for you today. These are the times that my fashion morals are challenged. How easy it must be for Queen Michelle to look amazing every morning, with those 600 mile long legs all a-slick with PVC. Top it with… well, whatever! She’ll look ridiculously good no matter what. But for me? Can I walk around looking like I just left the Liquid Latex…

    Revenge?! So close to True Romance? Yes. Why? Because I’m self-centered. I’m self-centered to the point that everything on this website revolves around me, and where my head is in the world of fashion. Well, my head just ended a three year relationship, so guess what… Now my head likes the idea of taking revenge on the universe that just turned her life upside down. My head is also a “her”, apparently. So, I hopped on the “revenge” train, initially, by facing the world in the morning. That was tough. So tough, in fact, that I needed some assistance.

    This post could go one of two ways: - It could be a post about brutal, insane, murderous, instable romance a la Quentin Tarantino (& Brad Pitt in a most hilarious role), or… - It could actually be about concentrated, pure romance. Fortunately, because there are so few blood-and-guts-related garments or accessories to be had, the latter is our topic of choice on this fine Tuesday. Last weekend, I was contacted by a shop called Brittany & Cooper linking me to their deceptively kitschy little jewelry site. The pieces that caught my eye most often were these adorable,…

    When I interviewed Karin Dreijer Andersson from The Knife at Berghain back early last year she already told me about the Electronic Opera project about Charles Darwin’s evolution theory that they had been working on with the performance group Hotel Pro Forma. Sadly I missed it when it was finally performed in Dresden in the fall. A week ago it was on stage again in Stockholm and a few friends and I took the chance and booked a flight to see it. I am not an expert on Operas and on modern dance. And to be honest I’m not a big fan of either of them. But this production was really…

They organized a party for a friend that got in trouble with the BVG to prevent her from having to pay a big fine or having to go to prison if she can’t pay the fine. It’s not exactly a Haiti benefit, but I’m impressed that these guys went to all that trouble of making a charity party for their friend. That’s really sweet and I wish someone would have done that for me back when I had to pay a big fine after I had allegedly “encouraged” someone to run away from the BVG…

There are extra sergeants-at-arms and state troopers posted inside and outside the chambers, just in case. (They should hide bottles and glassware!) Monserrate was accused of slashing his girlfriend's face with a broken glass in a jealous rage. But upon her admittance to a hospital, she changed her story, and claimed it was an accident. Monserrate was convicted of a misdemeanor, which meant he was not automatically expelled from the Senate. So fellow corrupt scumbag state Senator Pedro Espada is…

Stripes mixed with floral prints are an unlikely match made in fashion heaven, and some designers have combined the two within a single garment to make the whole print-matching task that much easier. Contrasting colors and feminine florals make this pairing versatile and unique and a must-have look for Spring!

  • Lauren Conrad Launches Charity Bracelet with Mark Cosmetics, Shares Beauty Secrets

    Filed under: Beauty, Celebrity, Makeup Lauren Conrad. Photo: Getty Images On "Laguna Beach" and "The Hills," we all loved Lauren Conrad because she was someone we could relate to -- she didn't always get the guy (the adorable Stephen), she was a true friend (never the backstabbing type like, ahem, others) and although there was always drama, she stayed true to herself. At a recent event for Mark Cosmetics, the younger-skewing branch of the Avon empire, L.C. showed us that though she's all grown up, she's still as down to earth and compassionate as she was before her life became a reality…

    I've been meaning to share our chalkboard wall with you for awhile now. After Susan's chalkboard frame project it got me thinking that I should show you how we created a functional chalkboard wall in our home.

    My collection of print skirts — not much of one, so I use the word "collection" loosely — reveals my (almost) unequivocal love for Dries Van Noten (and Marni) prints. The shimmering silks and brilliant palettes exude a refined air of self-assuredness; paired with monotone tops, the effect is a lesson in elegant sublimity. I wish they'd paid me for my plugs on twitter during the early summer months. I also use the term 'summer' very loosely. Some sorting out... Haven't I declared this string of...

    If there's one (or 100!) things we've learned from the sea of fashion shows we check out every season, it's that inspiration doesn't always come exclusively from the runway.

And so, we decided to assemble our own little cheat-sheet of easy tips you can try on your own for giving your favorite outfits a fresh twist. 1.

    8 Feb 2010 | 5:00 am
    It's a misconception that women don't know their way around a tool shed, but they might be more likely to turn out a pair of earrings than a shelving unit. Nina Stotler's Von Kottwitz line of heavy metal necklaces, earrings, and bracelets is influenced by her youth in Berlin, where she developed an industrial, Bauhaus-inspired aesthetic. Stotler's pearl and nickel nut-adorned chains began as customized gifts for her friends, but now she's producing them full-time from her Brooklyn studio. Each one is still hand crafted by Stotler herself, so now we can all get our hands on a piece of her…

I have a collection of rain boots that date back to early 2007 and my college years.  With the end of the skinny jean trend and the boot trend nowhere in sight, I might as well continue to embrace my love for the rain boot. That’s why I am all for these Stuart Weitzman Puddles Rain Boots. They have a removal insole with a shaft height of 11 inches which make them a great alternative to the boot that we’ve all been wearing this Fall season. Don’t…

Tahari’s collection, much like many of the other collections we saw on the runway last year, was filled with purples, blues, and greens. Tahari said of the collection, “My fall 2010 collection is homage to the great women who traveled the globe in style.” You can definitely see bits and pieces of the globetrotting fashionista throughout the Fall Winter 2010 collection. With high waisted pants, great blazers and coats, and tights the collection was classic Tahari. Hopefully, with the color of…

I guess I am pretty picky with my bags, as I have come across a few bags, but none have met my specifications. My new brown bag needs to be big enough to fit my everyday essentials (lotions, a planner, cell phone, wallet, etc), but not so big that it looks like I’m carrying a suitcase everywhere I’m going. And the hardware cannot, I repeat, cannot be too over the top.  Gaudy bags need not apply. Neiman Marcus I think I…

It’s been a long time coming, lots of magazines and friends, random people on the street and even more pushing and pulling between the good and bad fashion subconsciouses. The trendy part of my subconscious flips back and forth between good and bad. The boot look was leaning towards the good in late January, however, this week it finally came all the way over to the good side. However, my good side has bad timing. You would think that this would be a great time to pick up boots! Sales and…

    Many many years ago, I briefly dated a guy who was, well, not particularly nice.  Watching a movie at his place one afternoon, he leaned in for a kiss. (Mom and Dad, avert your eyes here.) Matters progressed, he tugged the hem of my t-shirt over my head, and then he rolled his eyes at my basic beige bra. “Don’t you have any sexy underwear?” he asked. All I could think was: Dude, I’m taking my clothes off for you. How is that not enough? Therein lies the problem with February’s glut of lingerie and look-better-naked stories: they’re so focused on an artificial construct of…

What is this "sexification," and how do we know it's occurring? I've read his article three times and I'm not exactly certain. But it has something to do with Megan Fox earning a lot of money as the face of Emporio Armani Underwear, Jenna Jameson wearing a tasteful blue frock on Oprah, and pop stars like Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and Shakira merely existing. Blasberg's theory rests on two things: a catalog of strange ideas…

Ovando is an amazing florist shop that is known for decking out Donna Karan, Chanel, Hermes and more.

I happen to fall in the love it camp. I just can’t get enough of all the campy fun nonsense and commercialism that go along with Valentines Day.

Are they a symbol of protest, their wearers making a statement about their national despair? If so, these stilettos would be the perfect shoes for the teabaggers – if they weren’t always marching. Or, is the flag not tattered, but meant to look like it’s blowing in the wind, similar to those giant flags you see at car dealerships? They express fervent patriotism – ideal for the well-shod “real” American, all gussied up for a…

Nothing evokes “island vacation” or, perhaps, “spa getaway” quite like stone-embellished sandals.  Smooth, seemingly water-worn stones adorn the most delicate of straps — is this not the perfect footwear for shopping in St. Thomas or strolling the boardwalk in Maui or enjoying a lovely outdoor lunch overlooking the sea in Koh…

Sold in 1963 for $160 (about $1122 in today's dollar).A Saks Fifth Avenue exclusive, this ensemble consisted of a silk shantung shell and jacket over layers of silk chiffon in the skirt.

The dating provided for the hats shown is often very inaccurate and way off the mark. Shephard identifies several 1960s cloche hats as 1920s flapper hats, and there are some 1950s hats identified as Edwardian. For a supposed expert, her research is very poor. In addition, the prices…

    Legal papers were filed in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan, New York against BEYONCE and TINA KNOWLES’ clothing line HOUSE OF DEREON. Because of the official papers we of course can’t call it a rumor but one would think that all the money BEYONCE raked in last year she wouldn’t have an issue paying fair price for anything. But being a celebrity spoils you. Case in point, they’re use to getting everything for free or next to nothing and now it may cost her more than any of it’s actually worth. The defendant, VIER INTERNATIONAL (a Vietnamese apparels company)…

Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.” Mel Brooks, The 2,000 Year Old Man (1961) A few days ago I posted a piece about the dangers of contagious misinformation.

    AWESOME! We are actually ecstatic about it. Let me be the first to say that TSC is comprised of some very talented writers. They’re passion knows no bounds, and it is astounding how far they have taken this blog. Aside from writing quality posts, they end up dropping quotes on newspaper articles, continue the conversation in the comments, and they take the time to interview high profile movers and shakers in their respective fields. Speaking of interviews, what you see above is a screen grab of Tyrese Gibson retweeting Petite’s latest interview with Reggie Berry and Jackiem…

    WORDS BY J.CLAIBORNE BOWDON Look at the picture at the top of this post. Seriously, just her face. Now factor in the situation. Look at that vaguely interested, wan-model, expression: lips ever-so slightly parted, eyes glancing (not focused) at the task at hand. You could cut and paste that head onto the body of a girl in a little black dress, fixing the back-strap on her stiletto as her chihuahua looks on, and it would be an exquisite encapsulation of a contrived, off-handed moment. It’s Manolo Blahnik ad ready, but she’s not cutely reconfiguring herself. She’s taking a shit. It’s…

    WORDS BY PETITE ANGLAISE As someone who grapples with literature daily, I comprehend the need to be visually stimulated…by any means necessary. What better way to achieve this necessity then with a good smut film, aka PORN. But sadly porn has become more and more of a nuisance. Featuring “actors” that are barely attractive, cursed with chipmunk voices, and awkward dialogues, visual pornography has become anything but a turn on. Not to be branded “a women out to outlaw porn,” this article is merely to educate on the positive attributes reading about fornication has over watching it.

The guys out there are probably thinking… What’s the best way to prepare for valentines day? The answer is, like Jeremy Renner says in Hurt Locker, “The way you don’t die, sir.” (click for clip) Yeah, so, good luck with that.

Most obviously, thanks to our software team, tailors and graphic artists for being so damn talented. Thanks to our very first customers, who miraculously found our website in the first couple months we were open.  Our site was confusing and buggy, but you were determined enough to figure things out and complete a sale.  Furthermore, you were understanding if we messed up your orders.  Like Ryan, whose “hurricane…

This picture doesn’t show the real atmosphere which is a bit darker and feels more intimate, especially after a few drinks.

When you know you need a drink, but can’t stand the claustrophobic feeling of an underground pub, this is a good place to go.  You can hang out at the bar or get your own bottle/table – it’s laid out so that both options work nicely.  This is one of just a few nice roof top lounges in Manhattan that I’m aware of (btw – why aren’t there lounges on every rooftop?).  Drinks weren’t cheap, but you don’t expect them to be.  I got there around sunset and only expected to…

    After growing up with a terribly crooked smile, I'm now obsessive about my teeth.  They're (blessedly) straight (thanks to orthodontia) but they can never be quite white enough as I'm a major imbiber of coffee. So, at home whitening products are my friends - and trust, me I've tried them all.  The best of the best have always been Crest Advanced Seal Whitestrips.  I love 'em because they get the job done and they stay put during whitening, meaning that you really can talk on the phone, drink a glass of water, etc.  But I have a new fave in town...Crest 3D White.

  • Haul of the Day: Elizabeth and James Tokyo Chiffon Blouse

    2 Feb 2010 | 8:24 pm
    As I love to say, the fatter I get, the more I like leggings. So, while I'm busy avoiding Physique 57 and Core Fusion (seriously, it's TERRIFYING. Save me.) workouts with the girls, I'm taking the time to stock up on tunic-y tops that pair well with leggings, a la the little Elizabeth and James number above. This gorgeous silk chiffon blouse has just the right amount of embellishment (read: almost too much) and I dig it. I'm envisioning this beauty paired with a skinny dark denim jean or, of course, the aforementioned leggings. I'll be sure to post an outfit once it arrives, so do stay tuned.

The luscious leathers, intense hardware, architectural cuts (I could go on...) woo me, making me weak in the knees.  The new Balenciaga Paris fragrance holds true to that precedent, thanks to the devastatingly chic bottle and perfectly complex violet, pepper and moss-based juice. In store this month, Balenciaga Paris was created by perfumer Olivier Polge in conjunction with designer Nicolas Ghesquière. Style…

So when they instructed us that the military jacket was the next big thing, we said, "Sir, yes Sir!" and marched right, left, right to the flak jacket beat. After all, we could hardly resist this hero piece that stylishly invaded the S/S 10 shows and nearly knocked the little leather jacket into the outlying provinces. In the face of the glam barracks wear at Balmain, the precisely cut styles at Rag & Bone, and pretty girl iterations seen at Charlotte Ronson, we had no choice but to wave the white flag…

Of course our lay of the land, if you will, is not your typical political oratory. Instead of focusing on proposed legislative initiatives and goals, we're more concerned with one of the most important pieces in any girl's accessory arsenal: the handbag. We realized that sounds silly and perhaps overly simplistic, but these…

A key staple for any wardrobe, pretty lingerie is a necessary and instrumental tool for bequeathing a little bit of loveliness to your ensemble, or adding a hint of sex appeal peeking out from beneath your favorite tank or tee. Like a shiny bauble or bejeweled accessory, a lacy bra or winsome nightie can be undeniably alluring and make you feel as though you indulged in a…

    This Spring, many trends will be explored. One of which will be carried over from last year and that trend is the cargo pant. However, this season go silk and cross-functional! I love the versatility of this pant, not only from the fabric — allowing an otherwise casual pant to go out on the town in the evening — but also from a hem length standpoint. With quick adjustments, long cargo pants become pedal pushers or cropped further up the leg. So many different outfit pairings can be generated from one pair of pants!While not all body shapes can enjoy this trend exactly as shown here, there…

The tiered ruffles of color in this skirt are exquisite. Sure, you can wear this with a simple black top. However, it's much more interesting to pull out a color from the skirt. Add a black shrug, if you like. As for jewelry, this bold veined turquoise necklace is gorgeous. It works as a stand out piece next to the gold earrings, black cuff and colorful bangle.

    DAHLINGS -There was simply so much to choose from at the 2010 Grammy Awards, even allowing for the greater freedom and creativity in dress that such an occasion affords. Here, in no particular order, are my Worst Dressed.I cannot decide which is less flattering, the front or the back of Rihanna's Elie Saab dress. Not only does the top look like a feather pillowcase exploded in the singer's vicinity, but the below-the-waist draping says, "Could my hips and butt look any larger? And my head look any tinier? I don't think so." There was no photo of the draping in the back, but these photos…

Not only have I neglected to write about the first three episodes of Project Runway, it's taken until now for me to put together my best and worst dressed for the Grammy Awards. (I plead that my last assistant quit after we had a one-sided game of paintball in my gymnasium; she wasn't allowed a paint gun because I'm the one with a designer wardrobe, damn it.)So, without further ado, my choices for the Best Dressed At The Grammy Awards.

For instance, zombie Nicole Kidman:At a distance it looks like an ugly peasant dress, but upon closer examination, it is an ugly peasant dress covered with sequins. Hair collides with Bob Mackie.

This is another full-sweep gown, this time strapless and in a deep, rich blue.And speaking of learning from your mistakes, this time Mariah Carey chose to keep her bosom covered. Well, almost covered. Some fashion critics think her dress emphasizes her weight, but she is voluptuous and looks gorgeous that way. To those critics I say: eat a…

    Honestly? I'm not the biggest fan of Kelis, Rihanna or Lady Gaga.  However, I have been fascinated lately with the obsession some in the media seem to have for crediting Lady Gaga with just about any fashion trend that is even remotely "avant garde" since her debut - as if she were the first to do it! (There is a reason I didn't use the phrase "reinventing the wheel.")  Sure, some acknowledge Madonna as an influence to her, but you would think she were the first musician to ever put on say, a lace mask, in the history of music or fashion. Um, no... Kelis…

Nydia Velazquez) and the keynote speaker was Danny Glover.  This is the second-most interesting event I have gone to involving Dr. King.  My favorite was going to Sotheby's in the summer of 2006 to view an exhibit featuring a collection of treasures from including the original draft of his "I Have A Dream Speech," his "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" and his Nobel Peace Prize lecture…

    Fashion Fille
    8 Feb 2010 | 12:56 am
    Even though this trend is mostly left in the fall, many people are still wearing my least favorite print. I'll say it proudly- I hate plaid. It's a hideous print that is only thought to be "stylish" becuase it's trendy and is considered grungy, edgy, and rock 'n roll. I'll never be caught dead in a plaid flannel or skirt- and hold me to that. It's easy to see MK in an over-sized flannel and then pick one up yourself to wear with leggings. No stylish thought has gone into wearing just that, and it truly bothers me that someone wearing tights and a plaid shirt is thought to be stylish. Not…

While Emma has held her hands up and said she’s no designer, “I’m so pleased that I got involved, but I don’t want to take all the credit for being the designer because I haven’t trained as a designer or even gone to art college – in fact, I had no idea about the amount of work involved at the outset!”.

    It bears repeating: The 80's are back. Tragically, perhaps. But before you go all Material Girl on me, step away from your old bustier and lace gloves. Seriously. Just because today's styles are inspired by that fashionally-challenged decade doesn't mean you have to replicate your outfits of yesteryear. Just look for current items with an 80's twist, like this darling (and affordable) motorcycle jacket in a light, denim wash. Just pair it with a ditsy flower dress, or with black leggings and a tunic. And skip that whole 100% denim look. Not to mention the bustier/lace glove thing you were…

    One way to shave off a few precious seconds in the morning is to use the right makeup brushes. No, I'm not talking about those tiny little throwaway brushes that come with the blush, eyeshadow, etc. They're too small to do any good. With the right brushes, putting on makeup is quick and easy: You can put on blush with a single stroke and your eyeliner will stay on longer. I like this Sonia Kashuk set of double ended brushes from Target.  It comes with a case so you won't have to spend time searching for them and has just the right amount and type of brushes.

While I appreciate it's a time saver not to have to head into the salon every week or month and it no doubt saves money, I just can't get behind the idea of waxing my own body. I have tried it once, and let me tell you, it's messy, painful and a recipe for ingrown hairs. I always shave my own legs and will get a professional bikini wax before I go on vacation. As for my nails, I generally do paint my own. Much as I love the ladies at my local salon, they are slow as Christmas and I find I can do…

    A white shirt is the staple of every gal-on-on-the-go's wardrobe. Keep your favorite white blouse white with these care tips: In most cases, you can wash your white shirts at home instead of sending them out to be dry cleaned. This not only saves money it helps on wear and tear and yellowing from the dry cleaner's chemicals. Bleach can be harsh on finer fabrics. A better option to keep shirts bright is to use a detergent with bleach alternative. Look your shirt over before putting in the wash. If it's not noticeably dirty, wash in warm water. If it's grimy, wash in hot for a more thorough…

    The first day at a new school can be inescapably awkward. I understand awkward. Senior year I was the new girl in a Midwestern high school, rumored to be banished from LA for being a bad seed (obvz not true, but I secretly loved the mystique and am confident that rap landed me the prom king). Luckily, the first day of an LA cooking school was nothing short of delightful and having to wear an apron alleviated the daunting first day outfit stress. I wore leather leggings, which was both odd and awesome to my less-than-trendy classmates.Let’s recall Econ 101. You grab a syllabus, sit through…

    Reading fashion blogs is one of my favorite things to do online. It is wonderful to see people taking the time to express their fashion and individuality through setting up their own blog. I want to post some of my favorite sites this up coming week but it will most likely take me forever to post all of my favorite sites. Some fashion blogs are too hipster or abstract in their style. Their outfits might be very fashionable but what I like about Karla is the edginess while still having style. Her style isn’t too ‘out there’.

Thus, she builds purses and hair combs out of found animal carcasses. Recently featured on CNN, Reid and her work were called “garbage…stupid…crazy…disgusting” by people happy to wear leather and eat meat and eggs procured cheaply even though the lives of the producing animals are painful, cramped, and drugged from beginning to end; while Reid’s raw products lived scampering or high-flying through the streets, sewers, and skies of…

Instead, advertisers are trying to image build by creating their own media, like this film Ryan McGinley recently shot for Pringle. It stars deep and moody Tilda Swinton, who everyone in fashion thinks is more amazing, sexy and beautiful than Kate Jesus Wintour Moss. We had a very quick chat to Ryan about it.

  • Opaque Stockings, in fabulous colors are back!

    29 Jan 2010 | 1:25 pm
    We've been completely out of our European crafted opaque stockings in bright colors for a while now. The demand was pretty overwhelming. That said, we just received a custom order of these opaque stockings in tangerine orange, scarlet red and fuscia pink. Next week we will have twelve new colors arriving with intense blues, greens and violet purple. Keep your legs warm, fashionable and add a little sex appeal for Valentines Day (stockings require a garter belt after all!) Click here for opaque stockings details.

    29 Dec 2009 | 4:48 pm
    We can't think of anything that's more fashionable with your spectacular holiday dress than seamed stockings, but of course we are very biased (and we would definitely recommend the sparkly silver Christian Louboutin shoes the model is wearing above, but that is a different post). We definitely don't believe in bare legs with your beautiful holiday outfit. You can find black seamed sheer stockings, seamed thigh highs, silver and gold seamed stockings, metallic seamed thigh highs, or simply shimmery thigh highs and sparkle pantyhose here. Fabulous European contrast lace top thigh highs can be…

    T-shirts are a closet staple, but let’s be honest – aside from the graphics, there isn’t much variety going on there. Most t-shirts fit the same because they are are the same – a wicked graphic screened onto an American Apparel or Hanes tee. Blue Platypus goes beyond that. Besides designing the graphics themselves, the husband-and-wife duo create cut and sew garments with custom dyes. The result is a line of tees that fit beautifully, are soft to the touch, and bring unparalleled style to the comfort of a (formally) basic tee. Heidi and Scooter give us the run-down on…

Shaped like a bust line, the Box Bra is made of hard EVA nylon with molded cups for your molded cups and is designed to keep your bras from getting crushed, twisted, or otherwise mangled while residing in your suitcase. An interior pocket has room for perfume, sunglasses, and other fragile belongings. My favorite part is the removable divider insert that can be used to hang and dry bras and swimsuits. It’s a great idea, but in this day of high baggage costs, it’s not 100% feasible. I do my…

I love the visual of guys running full speed at each other followed by the crunch sound of gear making impact against gear, helmets crashing into one another, thuds. It's a cacophony of chaos that always leaves me asking how in the hell do they do that to their bodies again and again. A big reason why they can do that again and again is because of their protective padding and helmets. But, there was a time when those things were not a part of standard uniforms.

    Roses are red, Violets are blue I love you much more When I can’t smell your poo! And thus began the greatest Valentine’s Day post ever courtesy of Poo-Pourri Bathroom Spray Toilet Deodorizer. After a big Valentine’s Day dinner, there’s nothing that can kill the mood more than – well – the aftermath. And while most deodorizing sprays simply mask dirty bathroom smell with sickeningly sweet artificial flower scent. Poo-Pourri is different. From their website: Unlike most bathroom spray deodorizers that try to mask the stinky poop smell after it is in the air,…

    Hello winter hair. I hate you. I’m a frizzy curly girl, so oil me up, thanks. Yes, I know it seems quite strange to put oil in your hair – after all, don’t we wash it all the time to keep that gunk out? But when my tresses fully cleansed and air-dried show their wild selves, I must do what I can to keep those fly-aways in line. Enter in hair oils. I love, love, love Neil George’s Indian Gooseberry Treatment Oil, but I’ve also been into the oil from another Bev Hills stylist Léa Journo. This lady is a hairstylist to the stars having worked with such notable…

    Let’s talk lips. More specifically lip gloss – life is so meaningless without it. Some days you just can’t commit to dark lipstick: that over-the-top look during the day just reeks of desperation. But lip gloss – sweet, subtle, sexy lip gloss that smacks and glows and gives you that extra oomph. I’ve been dying to try this new lipsgloss from Hourglass. Here’s what the company says about the gloss: “Tube” features a metalized outer shell to conveniently fit into the palm of the hand or slip into a back pocket or clutch Silky and non-tacky texture…

    I know I’m a little late on the game but I had to include something about Alexander McQueen’s Spring/Summer 2010 Campaign featuring Raquel Zimmermann. I just love this photograph! The reptile collection as a whole, on the other hand, leaves me with mixed feelings. When I saw Camilla Belle I was in love but then Lily Cole, Noot Seear and Daphe Guiness showed up on the red carpet even before Anna Paquin shocked people in reptile at the SAG Awards. That’s the problem with such a recognizable print: you get sick of it very quickly. Still, if I could get my hands on one of the…

One side of the room featured his Montana series of models is stunning clothing shot in his home state (Traver’s brother even handmade the remarkable wood frames.)

    8 Feb 2010 | 6:30 pm
    Sono Sushi Restaurant in downtown Raleigh, NC has some of the most interesting (and delicious) rolls I’ve had in a while.  The ambiance is fun too!  I HIGHLY recommend the Crazy Monkey roll which is smoked salmon, mango, cream cheese and avocado with crushed cashew nuts on top.  Sono is not the least expensive restaurant in town, so take trip there on a weekday afternoon if you want to save a few pennies to enjoy their lunch specials. Want to share the details on a budget-friendly restaurant in your area?  Send an email to socialite@budgetfab.com and let us know!

    At the start of every New Year, gyms tend to be packed with new members embarking upon their quest to fitness. Gym memberships are on “sale” everywhere and you see more diet commercials than normal. However, I have heard the occasional horror story about a gym membership gone bad after an advertised sale or promotion. Typically the gym crowd thins out after a few weeks as people drop their new fitness plans or get tired of heading to the gym. With the recent surge in Wii popularity and games such as Wii Fit and Your Shape, I am curious to find out if gym memberships are worth the…

I have worn this dress probably more times than I’ve worn anything else I received or purchased over the holidays. It’s the perfect dress to throw on with tights and my flats boots for a day of shopping or errands. It’s also ideal for a casual or fun date with tights and boots. I don’t often get connected to single pieces in my wardrobe and that’s in part due to my love for shopping, but I absolutely love this…

Au début du XX ème siècle, les grands couturiers parisiens et les éditeurs des magazines commençaient à s'intéresser à ce mode d'expression qui est un art complet en soi.Une photo de mode est chargée de symbolismes et de connotations à plusieurs niveaux, comme par exemple, la dernière campagne Printemps - Été 2010 de Gucci dont le portfolio est réalisé par Mert Alas & Marcus Piggot (www.mertandmarcus.com).Designer -…

  • Weekend Links: Fashion Week Fever Edition!

    4 Feb 2010 | 9:17 pm
    I've been noticing a trend in New York Fashion Week invites: the e-vite and the e-RSVP. Sure, it's environmentally friendly and being able to confirm shows online is certainly very convenient... But there's nothing more evocative than a really beautiful or creative paper invitation to an event. The weight and feel of it in your hand. I was a bit late in requesting invitations for the shows this season, but I managed to receive a few beautiful ones in the mail recently. Among my favorites? Tess Giberson's newsprint foldout, Rachel Antonoff's sweet "paperback" invite with relevant event details…

  • Accessorize This: No Fashion Victim Here

    3 Feb 2010 | 9:00 pm
    No Fashion Victim Hereby Denise GraysonLast weekend I spent a wonderful afternoon with Mei Hui Liu at the east London studio for Victim, her 10 year-old label of one-off dresses, skirts, tops and accessories. From the moment she opened the door to greet me – living up to her designation in a fitted and flattering black and white wrap dress and a killer pair of rubber knee-high platform boots – we became engaged in an enthralling conversation about fashion that lasted nearly two hours. By that time I felt like I had known Mei Hui forever, and for the next hour or so she sat at her machine…

    Posted in Fashion Blog » Fashion Industry » Fashion Industry News BlogAs the plane touched down at McCarran International I was determined to hate Las Vegas. Undisputedly not my type of scene. But within an hour I was inside the Tom Ford boutique, learning a trick or two about mixing my ever expanding collection of Private Blend scents by Tom Ford as discovered by a particular Prince of Saudi Arabia. Suddenly Vegas wasn't so bad. Having indulged in Tom Fordery (if I can make up the word 'fashionising' I can turn Tom Ford into a verb) in San Francisco and again in Las Vegas, I feel…

Any company that fails to correct its advertising and labeling may find the FTC imposing penalties of up to $16,000 per violation, or as the FTC did last year suing four companies for falsely claiming that their clothing and other textile products were made of bamboo fibre.

Not only did Coco Chanel possess an innate personal elegance, she was bold enough to cast conventional wisdom aside and approach dressing in a way that suited her own comfort and sensibilities, no one else’s. Watching the (loosely interpreted) early life of the inventor of the little black dress had me thinking about the somewhat dull LBDs in my own closet. Mostly composed of the most basic of…

    Last week we gave you a look at Maison Martin Margiela’s most recent show but now we have a closer look at the 2010 fall collection. This season is said to be “inspired by the abstraction of a black and white photograph.” The rounded shoulders give everything a really interesting silhouette and makes everything drape beautifully. My favorite though is the heavy use of leather. Source: The Fashionisto For Complete Story and More Visit SLAMXHYPE Maison Martin Margiela Fall/Winter 2010 Collection

  • Drug Trade | Interview with Christopher Glancy

    Geoffrey
    9 Feb 2010 | 1:01 am
    When I first saw Cast of Vices I thought it was brilliant. That is of course just seeing the pieces and not the reasoning behind it. All I saw was jewelry that has claimed the lives of more than enough people in our culture in this past year. It didn’t seem edgy as much as it seemed really relevant to our times, to our past, present, and future. I recently had a chance to speak with Christopher Glancy, creative director of Cast of Vices (and Bodega Prints) about where the company is coming from and where he wants to go with it. Whether you agree or disagree with the company I feel that…

    9 Feb 2010 | 10:22 pm
    If there's one (or 100!) things we've learned from the sea of fashion shows we check out every season, it's that inspiration doesn't always come exclusively from the runway. Like you, we get lots of nifty ideas from watching all the clever ways Fashion Week attendees get dressed—and get noticed. And so, we decided to assemble our own little cheat-sheet of easy tips you can try on your own for giving your favorite outfits a fresh twist. 1. Be bold: Switch out that basic black coat with a brighter shade or a patterned cropped jacket instead. Above, from left, photos by: Mr. Newton; Mr.

  • Von Kottwitz Jewelry Is A Lesson In Heavy Metal Construction

    8 Feb 2010 | 5:00 am
    It's a misconception that women don't know their way around a tool shed, but they might be more likely to turn out a pair of earrings than a shelving unit. Nina Stotler's Von Kottwitz line of heavy metal necklaces, earrings, and bracelets is influenced by her youth in Berlin, where she developed an industrial, Bauhaus-inspired aesthetic. Stotler's pearl and nickel nut-adorned chains began as customized gifts for her friends, but now she's producing them full-time from her Brooklyn studio. Each one is still hand crafted by Stotler herself, so now we can all get our hands on a piece of her…

  • Nike Air Force 1 High Supreme - Tokyo Destroyers Pack

    8 Feb 2010 | 8:00 pm
    In this high quality Air Force 1, there are elements that fuse premium elements with the rugged qualities of a workboot. The laces may remind some of a Timberland, with metal eyelets and tough laces. But the perforated swoosh, along withe the black sole, give this a boot-type feel. The “T” crest represents the Tokyo Destroyers, as is also shown on the footbed. The white contrast contrast stiching is a nice counterpoint to the logo, giving this shoe just enough detail to give it some pop.

    In honor of the classic commercial with Michael Jordan and Larry Bird in an epic game of H.O.R.S.E., McDonalds updated the spot with two of the game’s most dominating dunkers going at it–LeBron James and Dwight Howard. Instead of tossing the ball from the rafters, these juggernauts go at it head to head in dunks that are amazing, yet unrealistic. A standing 720 kicks off the comptetition, while a double throu-the-legs dunk may be the most difficult of all.

Although we’re habitual line-straddlers when it comes to fashion and style, we do have to side with the fashion bloggers on this one. Why? Because a twist done well is always welcome.

    Karl Thoennesson loves denim. His passion, or perhaps obsession, led to the founding of Rogue Territory. The brand stems from three core values – use high quality fabrics, adhere to the highest standards of manufacture, and share knowledge of denim with customers. Thoennesson, at just 27, has fully immersed himself in denim since his arrival in Los Angeles a few short years ago. What began as a fully custom opperation has blossomed into the ready-to-wear collection that is Rogue Territory. We caught up with him to pick his brain about the transition from denim fan to denim maker. Our…

The ribbed collar is great for collar popping – something we partake in whenever possible – and the cropped length makes it less stuffy than longer overcoats. The $332 (down from $1,105) price tag doesn’t hurt either. (Opening Ceremony) Take a leap for detailed images of the coat.

My second collection(Spring/Summer Jackets 2010, luxury velvet kimonos, raw silk corsets and so on) didn't sell as planned due to the high manufacturing price that way outruns what I am actually selling the garments for. Mathematics was never my strong subject in school but this easy calculation should have been quick to forecast. As the weather abruptly changes, so does the fashion industry and there is always room for sudden storms and rain even on the most sunny of days. Sale here.. For any inquieries just…

I havn't even been able to do my own christmas shopping as yet. Well with exceptions of the occassionally running off on a rushed lunch break. I am in a state where I don't even know if Im doing the right thing, signing off on this much work and not having any quality time with my fiancee.

    22 Jan 2010 | 2:48 pm
    I posted about Swear shoes a little while back (See Swear London A/W 2009) . This time Swear has updated their blog with some whistle wetters for the new year, some hors d'oeuvres if you will. Their spring/summer collection launches next month, and so far I like what I see. I love their combinations of colors and textures. Contrast, both subtle and blatant. [Via Swear]

    CIPHER SEDITIONARY "Libertines on my feet makes my Cipher complete, whether crusin' in a six-cab, or Montero jeep"... I wonder if Nas would have traded his suede Tim's for some Cipher Libertines back in the Illmatic days. It's funny that as soon as I saw the name of the brand, I thought of the song "The World is Yours", because, ironically, Cipher proclaims itself as "an expression of life in the Brave New World". I may have to agree. I am looking for a change in my Nike dominated sneaker closet, and Cipher may have what I'm looking for. Check out the full post for pics of the Seditionary and…

Never-mind that wretched holiday because the very next day is the annual consumer extravaganza known as Black Friday, where every store in America scratches and claws their way into your pockets by offering you deals that are much too good to be true. Lucky for you, we have compiled a list of real deals to help you spend the rest of your pay check for the week. Enjoy poverty! At least you'll look good.  PC: [Ashcan Rantings]

    I often wonder what these outlandish fashions that can only be worn by 22-year-women with amazing figures are achieving --Emanuel Weintruab.And I couldn't agree more!! Thank you Emanuel for saying something so many women have been thinking for years......As fun as it is to go to the shows at Bryant Park and view the amazing creations (more like art than actual, wearable clothing) fashion designers create every season, many times I think to myself, "Where would a non-celebrity wear this??? And furthermore, how many women exactly can afford to buy a pair of $1K white pants?"If you are looking…

I doubt this since it would mean much thinner pages to any fashion magazine that love to 'advise' us on what we should be buying for a particular fashion season.And whether or not you truly buy into this marketing nonsense...er, I mean helpful advice, the fashion industry relies on these fashion magazines to help customers come to the many stores, boutiques and my personal favorite, online websites to buy! buy! buy! even if they will only wear said…

    Label it Lust or call it Romance:  Tis' the season where giving underwear as gifts is at an all-time climax.  Mansionistas everywhere are being surrounded by new designer undies styles adorned with jewels, technicolors or, as previously featured, plain new whites.   While style advisors everywhere are ready to bombard us with tips for purchasing Women's lingerie, truth is that very little assistance stands for those seeking to purchase briefs or boxers.  Here's a few simple rules that will make Men's underwear gift-giving a little bit easier.#1.

    Now that 26-year old high-fashion and underwear model Noah Mills has been confirmed as the leading man opposite Kim Cattrall in Spring's Sex and the City 2, this pretty face of Dolce & Gabbana fame is seeing his popularity grow in Hollywood.  He's been making his mark on the runway for quite some time, one of his best-known (and least clothed) credits being D&G fragrances.  While many of Mills' appearances keep him (ick) fully-clothed, there's a few refreshing Men's underwear looks shot by photography legends such as Mario Testino and Steven Klein. …

    As we rush from work to errands to walking the dog or picking up the kids; to the dry cleaner, to the hardware store, to that social commitment, to whatever it is that we have to do in this busier than busy existence, we most likely don’t even think about stopping for a moment to catch our breaths, to just stop and see the beauty that’s all around us — simple things really.   So this morning when I took the dog out, I decided to do just that!  Here are a few of the beautiful things I found — Flowers, blooming all over Emeryville, some of them clearly thinking it’s…

However, now there is a new distraction—born of this area (to which we so recently moved) in which there are numerous quirky and delightful people, places and things—often fanciful, whimsical (one of my favorite conditions) and uber-cool. And so to that end,…

This lovely young girl (wearing a splendid necklace, I may add) grew up to be the first “white” woman to travel to Tibet, at a time when all foreigners were forbidden.  Her first trip was in 1924, after that she gave up the comfort of a privileged life, to travel through Tibet, Nepal and India writing of mystics, lamas, and the Buddhist way.  She wrote 30 books and lived to be 101.

    I’m sure you’re shocked to see another simple frock in my roundup of my daily coveted working looks. Well I’m predictable, however I do truly love this Rebecca Taylor dress for its great simple color, flattering cut, and fantastic shoulder and neckline detailing. And what I love the most about it, is its name – the ‘Desk to Date’ Dress. I’m glad we are on the same page, dear Rebecca Taylor! I’ve always love the concept of the satchel, however I’ve never jumped to purchase one due to the fact that it was always just a little too masculine for my style. However…

  • I Get a ‘Kick Pleat’ Out of You

    Hannah
    8 Feb 2010 | 1:00 pm
    [Image Above: Miss Darling Dress] Did you know that, circa 1910, women went wild for a skirt so narrow at the hem that they could barely walk in it? This garment, Paul Poiret’s aptly termed “hobble skirt,” has thankfully shuffled out of style, and design elements like today’s featured Fashion Dictionary term have walked into the spotlight! Ladies, put your hands together for the kick pleat! Kick pleats are those little flap-covered slits found at the rear hem of many a fitted skirt. This little inverted pleats give us the ability to walk with ease, and look good doing…

    After twenty inches of snow and fifty hours inside this weekend, I was ready to escape the increasingly annoying indoors for a friend’s Super Bowl extravaganza and a fine feast of turkey chili last night! Unfortunately, the roads were definitely not ready for me. After running into five snowbanks, sliding down four hills, having to get out of the car to push it twice, falling down while trying to push the car once, and one sensational Saints’ win, I somehow managed to survive the snowpocalypse relatively unscathed This morning, a lingering exhaust scent remained on my jeans, but…

    [Image Above: Faux-Pas Image from www.nitrolicious.com] I don’t think I even need to explain why this outfit is so bad, am I right? Kelis’ milkshake might bring all the boys to the yard, but not this look! I like her pink and black color scheme, and her structured blazer, but not much else. For my version, I retained the color palette but rethought the silhouette, opting for the Wavering Dress and The Desmond Blazer. Kelis’ Alexander McQueen shoes are pretty crazy-awesome, but I chose the more practical Pink Champagne Peep Toe Wedges. And rather than accessorizing with a…

  • The Hippie Way Of Dressing

    Dr Robert Muller
    5 Feb 2010 | 4:17 am
    It is strange to talk about the fashion of people that called themselves nonconformists. However, the truth is that while hippies, as a group, were nonconformists and countercultural, hippies, as individuals, had a distinct fashion statement to make – colorful, loose, and as different from the Wall Street preppy style as possible. How Hippie Fashion Began in the 1960s While the Second World War saw American patriotism and nationalism come of age, the continued war gaming in Korea and then in Vietnam finally overwhelmed the strained nerves of Americans. People wanted to rebel against a…

  • Nostalgia In The 70s - A Vintage Fashion Of Looking Back At More Vintage Fashion

    The 1970s started the disco craze, shoulder length hair (remember that Bill Clinton facial hair picture?), polyester suits, and the ubiquitous smiley face. It was the decade that saw the hippie style, the 'streaker' and the romantic, and the strange fad of walking down the street naked! But it was also a decade when people looked 40 years back into the 1920s and 30s and pined for what might have been. Those were some of the worst years in American history, with the Prohibition, the Great Depression and the Second World War. But the 70s had their Vietnam, and people just wanted to turn the…

  • The Shag Rugs of The 1970s

    Dr Robert Muller
    30 Jan 2010 | 5:55 am
    Shag rugs were extremely popular in the 1970s. Their origin is shrouded in psychedelic mystery. One version says they originated from the meditation mats that Buddhist and Indian monks regularly use. These mats are often pretty large, and look exactly like a shag rug does when they get worn out through long use. Because the 1970s saw a great influx of eastern religions in the US, it is not inconceivable that the popular shag rugs were inspired by these so called meditation mats. Another version says that shag rugs are direct descendants of the goat and sheep skin rugs that were a part of the…

    The Capones Restaurant & Live Jazz Club has come flying out of the gate and ahead of its Yaletown neighbors by creating a must go-to party central. Capones has partnered up with R&B Brewing, Mark Anthony Wines, and Fiji Water to bring 2 live stages to entertain its patrons. The outside stage will bring great jazz and blues from Capones regular line-up of artists. They will also rotate their performances inside on the indoor stage. Filling the gap in between sets will be many other local “buskin” style artists to round out the entertainment. When you walk by the immense patio area,…

    Oddly enough, I’ve been to most of the well known izakayas around town except for Hapa. Since I had a mini reunion with some old colleagues in Yaletown, I thought I would ‘conveniently’ suggest to try out the new one. I had the best service even before I entered the restaurant. Around 7pm that night, I called them to make a last minute reservation and got the answering machine instead. I didn’t expect them to return my call but I left a message anyways. Within a few minutes, they phoned back to inform me they didn’t have a spot for us. I was wracking my brains…

Aside from being raised on home-cooked Chinese meals, part of my family tree has a deep tradition and history of professional cooks and chefs. Some of my relatives, who are scattered across Canada and the US, have opened the token Chinese restaurant in some small town.

    Comfort food comes to a close second to my unhealthy obsession with brunch food; eating at Burgoo did not help ease off that addiction. Burgoo specializes in creating comfort food from all around the world. So you will find tummy soothing dishes from far off places like France, down south US, Columbia, Ireland and many more. I had very fond memories of devouring their Brie Fondue (roast garlic, honey, thyme, and white wine served with red grapes, apple, grape tomatoes and crusty friend) so I suggested maybe trying out another type. For something closer to home, we picked the…

    Weddings are expensive, expensive events. A friend of mine is getting married in a few months time and, christ, I feel his financial pain. Flowers, booze, rentals, invites, event planning, etc. - all the above and more cost thousands upon thousands of dollars if one wants a premium wedding. One crucial price category is the jewelry used in getting, and continuing to show people that you are, hitched.

Not to my surprise, nobody wanted to work with Ping, but lucky-duck Jesse was chosen to be on her team. In the workroom, most teams worked nicely together – minus Ping and Jesse.

    Large, shimmering, gold, or silver, nameplate necklaces were first hot in mid 80’s urban culture: To understand the importance of nameplate necklaces, one must also understand the significance of names to the African-American community.  Most new world slaves were renamed after stepping foot onto American soil, often given a biblical first name and the last name of their master (remember, Kunta Kinte suddenly became Toby?).  After slaves were freed at the end of the Civil War, a large number decided to cast aside their given names in favor of more creative, personal identifiers.

    There are only two emotions: Love and fear. Feelings of jealousy, disappointment and anger arise when we are feeling scared. When we're stuck, we become terrified. God promises us the world but we still fear what we do not know. It is easy to convince ourselves there is no use in trying but we must remember fear can be useful. It helps protect you from harm when you're not sure of an outcome. Fear is a sign something exciting is about to happen so don't trick yourself in thinking of it as an excuse to turn your back on an opportunity. Stretch out of your comfort zone. Is your fear reacting to…

They can have so much better but they stay with a man so they do not feel alone. Wouldn't you rather be happy alone than miserable with somebody else? Do not stay with someone for the sake of not feeling lonely. It's silly to try and fix a relationship that is simply not holding together.

Well this winter, everywhere my epidermis shows, and especially where it doesn't, dryness has a field day. When that happens, I feel like I have super skin sensitivity.

    One of the new trends coming out for the still questionable spring (questionable by the snow flurries outside my window...) is denim squared. The pairing of denim as a bottom with a denim for the top. Continuously recycled, the trend fades in and out of the spotlight with plenty of ease, especially with the continued popularity of denim overall. Did you go through a period of a denim jacket with perfectly color matched denim jeans when you were a wee lad in school? I remember my denim jacket lasting from elementary school (third grade) all the way through to high school. I might even still…

    Guys, I have a little secret to tell you: I'd never tried Chip and Pepper jeans before I received these. Never! It's pretty shameful, isn't it? Well, I'm making up for it now with a vengance!
