    There is a level of intricacy that goes with Jeremy Laing designs that can be missed if you're not paying attention. He knows how to drape a woman's body like no other. Laing's sensuous clothes gather, drop, open, and glide in the most unexpected ways, thus allowing the wearer to become one with the fabric. You have to pay attention to the multitude of shapes each piece can take on. One minute it hangs ever so slightly and exposes a thigh, and the very next moment it flutters behind in the wind. Add mud-dyed silks, hammered satins, and a neutral colour palette; with pops of…

Because, it's the type of collection that brings beauty and wearability, while keeping it sexy. From the draped jackets, cuffed trousers, jacquard knit pieces, to the black and white printed beauties — all with an Asian influence — colonial Vietnam circa the twenties to be exact. There is so much to love in this collection that I don't have a favourite, because I want everything!  Ms. Roy topped off the collection with a bevy of beautiful accessories. Many of which are…

Surprisingly, the inspiration was not floral fantasies dreamt up in the wee hours of the morn. Rather, it was the realism during the Age of Enlightenment in the 18th century that propelled the design duo to send out a barrage of ultra-femme Jane Austen gowns swathed in layers of demure taffeta and delicate organza.

  • The Keen Sienna MJ is Back; This Time in Canvas

    Up until this week, there were only five pairs of Keen Sienna MJs left in the whole, wide world. Three scuffed up pairs on eBay and two on Sierra Trading Post: both size 5. All right, so maybe that's a stretch, but I had come to accept that I'd never see this formerly discontinued style again. After a two year hiatus, Keen is reintroducing the Sienna MJ; this time in canvas. I've always loved the streamlined (for Keen) look of the Sienna, but how does it feel? Since the canvas version is brand new, reviews are scant. However, I was able to find plenty of reviews for the former Sienna in…

    Yes, I agree, the shoe in the previous post does look like it belongs on a kindergartner's foot. But I still contend it would be cute on the right full-grown person; perhaps an artist with a quirky personality?  How about this sensible but chic wedge by Anne Klein? That's more like it, right? The Drella's been awarded five stars for comfort by happy customers at Zappos. What makes the shoe a winner? Stretch fabric upper accommodates foot bumps: bunions, tailor's bunions, hammertoes. All-day comfort for women that stand on-the-job thanks to cushioned insole, shock-absorbing 1.5" wedge heel.

    I’m one of those people who wanted to be a mom since I was able to fully understand what a mom was. I’m also one of those people who graduated from college and couldn’t wait to get out into the world and work. I mean, really work. There’s just something in my blood. The last few months have been crazy, crazy, crazy in balancing the mom and the work balance. I mean, freaking crazy. I’ve been traveling (at the very least) one day a week to NYC.

    With award season in full swing, one trend has swept the fashionable forerunners: the cut out dress.  A flash of skin hints  at your killer figure, heavy on the hint.

    Hat Attack Medium Brim Fedora ($70) It’s highly unlikely for a Kardashian to shy away from the spotlight, but it looks like the oldest sister of the bunch prefers to be incognito with oversized shades and a Hat Attack Medium Brim Fedora. Usually, Kourtney Kardashian’s son, Mason, is the one donning a topper (we blame daddy Scott Disick who is the consummate dresser) but we can’t complain that she’s taken the baby boy’s signature look upon herself.

I don’t know what people imagine: small, exquisite plates of foie gras and caviar arranged vertically; exotic grains cooked with pristine baby vegetables; elegant finger sandwiches with the crusts cut off; and petit fours. It’s none of that, though I did try some bourbon-infused, sustainable California caviar that struck my fancy. And yes, there are fancy (and incredibly delicious) cheeses, but you…

There was a time not so long ago on humanity’s calendar that sewing was not considered “women’s work,” but rather a tool for survival. Hunter/gatherers looking for food on a cold winter’s day, some miles from their camp, might have a shoe wear through and break, and their ability to sew that shoe back together in a simple repair stitch might have meant the difference between safe…

    Ladies, how many times have you heard… Smile it may never happen… According to Debrett’s A-Z of Modern Manners : All too often smiling provokes cynicism, because it is used to mask negativity. The vulpine smile of the salesman as they hover on the edge of a deal. The insincere grimace of the flight attendant as they dole out another hot rancid meal. The meaningless teeth-baring of the customer service representative who has no intention of serving any customer. Sinister huh?

Granted she is currently in Los Angeles, which is safe to say is a land of far sunnier climes than London, but we don’t think we’d be able to get away with something that bright at the end of January. Like most items of clothing Jessica Alba puts on her enviably perfect body, she appears to be completely and utterly working the two bright outfits she wore in just as many days.

  • Reader Question: skirt length

    admin
    19 Jan 2012 | 3:28 pm
    What is the shortest skirt length that is appropriate for a 48 year old designer to wear to see clients in? First, always consider the dress code at your work place.  You should project a professional image that is relevant to your career field. Whether you are in your 20′s or 50′s, one can wear short skirts to the office (or out meeting clients) but it really all depends on how to pull it off without looking as if you are heading to a club or on a date.  But how short is too short?  A few inches above the knee with no more than 3 – 4 inches. Think simple & elegant…

But, onwards and upwards! Now that it’s January, all the shops are gearing up for Spring. It seems so far away, but yet why not get a dose of Spring Fever a bit early (I love the euphoria).

    There is nothing more casual than t-shirt and jeans. Ok, sweatpants. Those are more casual… anything more casual than that, and we’re talking pajamas. Over the years I’ve become a denim lover, and with all the beautiful dresses at the Luisa Via Roma store, I was actually quite interested in the Balmain Jeans. I mean come on, $1000 jeans. They’re Balmain so they must be amazing? Well, that and this Alexander McQueen jacket that caught my eye. My favorite color to wear often ends up being olive green and this jacket looked like a cross between a blazer, motorcycle jacket…

    As a blogger, handbags prove to be a loaded topic. I want something pretty, but with my laptop and camera that often has to go in, the pretty bags often weigh a ton, and the big bags look monsterous. Which is why satchels are my favorite kinds of bags. The 3.1 Philip Lim Abichi Satchel was a gift from my husband, who always likes to give sensible gifts with clean, modern design. It has a mixture of patent leather and haircalf which makes it special, yet has the traditional shape and roominess of a satchel. I have to say, that since traveling to Florence, it made the perfect handbag for…

    In the same way applying wax on fabric acts as a barrier against color when you do tie-dye, so Kiesque's clever Liquid Palisade is like painter's tape for nails! You simply brush it on where you don't want color to go, like your cuticles. It then dries super-quickly, becoming stretchy and string-like, allowing you to paint right over it almost immediately. Then let your coat of nail polish dry for a minute and peel the Liquid Palisade off. Voila! No pesky color smudges on your cuticles. Alternatively, use Liquid Palisade to make fun nail art.

    What piques the interest of hot new fashion talent?  For some, it's the design path less traveled. Veering away from the easy route - bling, novelty fabrics, out-there design - Central Saint Martins grads Levi Palmer & Matthew Harding found themselves attracted to the challenge of overhauling that staid wardrobe staple, the white shirt, and making it fresh again. Part of the reason was timing; Harding graduated in 2010 in the depths of a deep recession.

I have a couple of pairs,  many of my clients have a couple of pairs, and so far the brand has not let us down. A stable low heel, soft leather, cushioning footbed and roomy toe box are what make their shoes comfortable, and worth the investment. The shoes are well made and the styling distinctive.  I walk Seattle, NYC and Vancouver flat in my…

Eventually they decided to leave the enduring silhouette untouched, instead focusing on the inclusion of a special material – “Unicorn Leather,” the name given to elk hides by the specialized tannery that produces them. Known for its unusually soft feel and individualized scars and scratches, the “Unicorn Leather” is dyed with aniline and…

    We recently moved and when we did we redecorated my sons’s bedrooms so that they would suit both my boy’s tastes. And when we re-organized their room we also added new bedding. Sweet Peaches was our go to store for new bedding for our boys. They offer high quality bedding that is affordable and with so many options to choose from you are sure to find something that you love for your child. For my oldest son we picked up the Aviator bedding. It’s great for older boys as it’s not too little boyish, but it’s not too grown up either. It’s so soft and comfy and…

  • Kate Somerville Skin Care Kits

    25 Jan 2012 | 1:12 pm
    Last night I touched my face to rub my eyes because I was tired. As I was smoothing my palms over my cheeks, I was a little shocked to feel how extremely soft my face was. This is a rare thing during winter and I have to attribute it to my use of the Kate Somerville skin care line since October. (Here's the list of products I use daily.) It's hard to know what works for your skin so if you don't have a Kate Somerville counter near you to get samples (SF has Neiman Marcus), I highly recommend getting one of Kate Somerville's skin care kits. The great thing about purchasing online is the free…

  • Best Austin BBQ Places

    Yola
    22 Jan 2012 | 11:21 pm
    When you start talking about the top Austin BBQ joints, feelings can run high. There’s a whale of a lot of fine Austin BBQ. Besides, barbecue is a very personal thing. Perfect for one person might be too spicy for another. One person’s dry may be another’s succulent. It’s a little like taste in cowboy boots. There are those who swear by Lucchese Boots; others live and die by Old Gringo Boots. And who’s to say either one is wrong? So it is with some trepidation that we put forward our top three Austin BBQ restaurants. You may disagree. But if you haven’t tried them yet, please do.

    Cowboy boots are a foundational wardrobe element for many Texans and other mortals. When you invest in a top-quality pair of cowboy boots, you want to make sure you can swagger proudly in them for many years. And that all comes down to you – to how you store and care for your boots. Here, we offer some tips that can help you keep your cowboy boots in tiptop shape. Store ‘em properly. You wouldn’t put your horse away wet, would you? Then don’t do it to your cowboy boots either. And don’t store them in cold, damp, or hot places. Moisture can cause boots to mildew, which can ruin them.

    As the new year nears, it’s a good time to think about who you are and who you want to be. It’s an opportunity to evaluate and make some adjustments. So what do you think, men—is it perchance time to update your cowboy boots? Your cowboy boots speak volumes about your attitude, your style, your approach to living. Think back to when you bought your current cowboy boots. They probably were perfect for then, but what about now? Everybody changes, be it ever so slightly. Maybe you’re a little bit bolder than you used to be, a little more daring. Perhaps your cowboy boots reflect a time…

There was the Jason Wu for Target event in New York, where Blake Lively shone in two-tone Wu; there was the second premiere of Madonna's film, W.E, for which the mega-star donned a gorgeous Marchesa; and there was the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, where Kate Bosworth and Emma Roberts stole the red carpet show. However, nowhere offered more head-turning ensembles than the Spring 2012 couture presentations in Paris, where best-dressed veterans Diane Kruger, Daphne Guinness, Jessica Chastain - and more -…

This ad - which recently surfaced on The Fashion Spot - features what appears to be the British actress lounging in a leopard print-filled room, wearing a super-shiny paisley ensemble. A QR code in the bottom left corner directs viewers to the campaign video, which - as WWD confirmed last month - was shot by Sofia Coppola. While it is yet to be confirmed that the star of Coppola's video is the star of this ad campaign, we do know one thing: Coppola filmed the video last October in Marrakesh - and judging by the Moroccan-style tile work in the…

Mitch Winehouse has spoken out against Jean Paul Gaultier, saying the designer's recent couture collection - which featured models styled in the late singer's trademark beehives and eyeliner - was "an insult" and in very poor taste. "The family was upset to see those pictures, they were a total shock," Winehouse told The Sun. "We're still grieving for her loss, and we've had a difficult week with the six-month anniversary of Amy's death. To see her image lifted wholesale to sell clothes was a wrench we were not expecting or consulted on. We're…

For day there were softly-swishing knee-length dresses with ruffled necks and sheer sleeves; for evening, full-length strapless or long-sleeved gowns in heavy silk and taffeta - some embellished with crystals and pearls, and others printed with antique-looking florals and toile.

    After the surprising loss of Demi Moore as Gloria Steinem, we’ve discovered that one of our favorite actresses/fashion icons/models, Miss Chloe Sevigny, is joining Amanda Seyfried, James Franco, and Peter Sarsgaard in the much-talked about Lovelace film. The fictionalized biopic is about the eponymous porn star Linda Lovelace, who starred in the X-rated film that shocked the world, Deep Throat (which stars this very town — or the surrounding areas anyway — as its smutty backdrop). Lovelace's legacy is a difficult one: After Deep Throat, she became a staunch activist against the…

As far as my corporate style… Well, here’s the truth: I was written up three times for clothing-related offenses. I was bad at dressing for work. But now – older and wiser – I recognized that 4″ neon platform pumps were probably not an acceptable choice.

The first thing you notice is: The magazine has a great haptic quality, which is quite important in the age of the internet: the paper feels nice, the format is unique and the design is great. What I also like: there is a lot to read! And what you get to read goes beyond the shallow and stupid bullshit that you find in most other lifestyle magazines.

For us snobby Berliners, the music would probably make us attempt suicide. But we tried to let go and have fun as much as we can. With higher alcohol consumption our French got so bad that we could not understand a single word anymore. Kisses were collected instead. And who would say no to French kissing, huh?  See our party…

Every time I go to Paris I visit the Père Lachaise. Not only to pay my respect to Jim, but also to see all the other beautiful graves. However, you don’t have to go to Paris to see romantic mausoleums or melancholic angels. Berlin has some remarkable cemeteries as well. More ofter the jump. Here’s our very personal selection of cemeteries in Berlin: 1. Jewish Cemetery Prenzlauer Berg Berlin’s biggest…

    One of the things I love most about New York City is the fantastic & wide selection of interactive art. I have never been very good at simply looking at a picture hanging on a wall, even though I appreciate it. I am much more excited by something I can engage with, something I can explore on my own terms. So it makes sense that when I heard about Park Here, a fake indoor park constructed to help keep the winter blues away, I knew I had to visit immediately, if not sooner!

    Getting dressed for day can be as easy as one, two, three, but when you have to quickly go from dressed down to dressed up, the equation gets a little trickier. When it comes to day-to-night dressing, simple additions will help you do the math. You can add a layering piece for the nine-to-five or a pair of killer heels and a clutch for cocktail hour, but whatever the case, it's definitely the little things that count. A pencil skirt is one staple item that every girl should keep in her closet. Not only is it a timeless, versatile piece, the streamlined shape will keep you looking sharp no…

    Karl Lagerfeld understands decor as well as he knows fashion. The premises for his new signature collection Karl are an opulently minimal series of salons in an hôtel particulier on the Left Bank, so it made sense that the food for the dinner party he hosted on Wednesday night to launch the line should also focus on the bare opulent essentials: caviar, foie gras, and lobster, with a logo-fied iPad as a takeaway. One of the T-shirts in his Karl range features a fanciful self-portrait with the handwritten message "I Love Gossip." Plenty of that in a room full of fashion people, though I…

Prada's collaborators this time were the art provocateur Francesco Vezzoli and Rem Koolhaas's design team AMO, who mimicked the traditional museum setup with a central gallery of classical "sculptures" (photographic images of ancient statues mounted on Perspex, with contemporary features superimposed).

  • Wearable Wednesdays: His Style ~ Dsquared2 2012 Fall/2013 Winter Menswear Fashion Week

    25 Jan 2012 | 6:00 am
    Fashion Week here in NY is a few days away and I have been immersed in Fashion Week coverage around the globe! It's only appropriate to highlight a fun show that took place during the 2012 Fall/2013 Winter Menswears shows earlier this month with Dean and Dan Stanton's line, Dsquared2! As we continue to bundle up, I loved seeing the line which rocked sexy suits which is always something that I can appreciate with classic and casual denim looks! I love that denim was accessorized with fun outerwear and amazing leathergoods (ladies this comes in handy as you can share a bag when going away on a…

This diamond is one of many that is available at Leibish & Co! Valued at $1.6 Million, this is a piece that you will definitely remember seeing and if you have the opportunity to wear it, you won't want to put it down! With my love for all things glitzy and fab, when I was requested for a fun event - there was no way that I could say no! So after gathering fab influencers that…

  • Casting of Thandie Newton As An Igbo Woman Causes Controversy, But Is It Fair?

    Britni Danielle
    27 Jan 2012 | 12:41 pm
    Yesterday, it was announced that British-born actress Thandie Newton will star in the film adaptation of Ngozi Adichie’s award-winning novel Half Of A Yellow Sun. The 2006 book, which won the Orange Prize for Fiction, tells the story of of the Nigerian-Biafran War from the perspectives of several different people: a professor, a young boy, a political figure, and a British citizen. Newton is set to play  one of the main roles along side fellow Brit, Chiwetel Ejiofor. While many see this as a step in the right direction for Hollywood, which has been slow to allow films featuring…

  • Seal Wants Heidi Back? When Is It Too Late To Patch Up A Broken Relationship?

    27 Jan 2012 | 12:00 pm
    After the news of Seal and Heidi Klum’s break up made news, many wondered what went wrong. By all accounts the couple seemed totally in love with each other, and many seemed to take the split personally, wondering, if Seal and Heidi couldn’t make it, maybe it couldn’t be done. Seal added to the confusion by continuing to wear his wedding ring during interviews and speaking lovingly about his soon-to-be ex-wife. Recently, he appeared on CNN’s Piers Morgan Show and seemed to hint at wanting to reconcile. While on the show, Seal gushed about his relationship with Heidi…

    Fresh off of the premiere of his new documentary, ‘Something From Nothing: The Art of Rap,’ Ice-T had a few words about the upcoming presidential elections. Although he firmly believes President Obama will be reelected in the fall, the rapper turned film director already has his eyes on 2016. Speaking about Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Ice-T said, “She did the Secretary of State job, she was a G, she held it down, she didn’t cry. Obama will support her, and she’ll be the first woman president.” Ice-T might just be onto something.

    There aren’t many comedians who could be as funny and ignorant as Bernie Mac was. Between stand-up routines like The Kings of Comedy and his softer side on the sitcom The Bernie Mac Show, he was all-around hilarious. When Bernie Mac passed away from pneumonia complicated by the lung disease sarcoidosis, he left a huge hole in the entertainment landscape. On February 19, Comedy Central will air a documentary giving tribute to his talent, featuring interviews with friends, family and colleagues. The special will also include never before seen performances and footage from his early…

  • Denim Review: Current/Elliott The Stiletto in Grey Leopard

    Lorna, Editor
    27 Jan 2012 | 5:00 pm
    This weeks second review is on the Current/Elliott The Stiletto skinny jeans in Grey Leopard. If you are big fans of DenimBlog, you might remember when I first posted about these jeans and fell in love with them, many months ago. I finally took the plunge and bought them from Shopbop a couple of weeks ago and I am so happy that I finally did! I was hesitant for such a long time about spending so much money on a ‘fun’ pair of jeans, but I realised that these can easily be a staple jean as they are subtle! The fit of these is actually my favourite cut from Current/Elliott. The…

    27 Jan 2012 | 3:30 pm
    Elizabeth Olsen was spotted doing her rounds to promote her movies at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. She first attended both the Sheets Energy and the T-Mobile Google Music Village events. She kept herself warm in a bubble jacket and some AG Stilt Legging Cords in Sulfur Cognac. I really like the wash of these cords. They are a bold brown, but they still have a vintage vibe to them. They are a bit worn, which I like. You can click here to purchase these pants from the AG website for $168.

    Here is the brand new Spring/Summer 2012 Look Book from MiH Jeans. The images were shot in the countryside and I love the old vintage feeling that it gives the photos. The styling reminds me of the 70′s too, but in a much more modern way. I’m loving some of the flared and boyfriend styles, I also adore the shorts paired with the blue spotted shirt above! That has to be one of my favourite looks from the Look Book! You can see all of the images in the gallery and I have also included a behind the scenes video of the shoot below. It really captures the imagination behind the photos,…

    I quite like this look book. I think the themes that Current/Elliott come up with each season are just great. The backdrop is just amazing. I love the old Southern looking home. I like that this one looks like the girls are off at boarding school in the South. For this season they didn’t use flowers as props like most of their Spring look books. The main floral detail was of course the jeans. The print came in shorts and jeans. There were also denim shirts and the return of the dresses in the classic blue this season as well. I also love the return of their distressed jeans. I think…

    In order to work in the vintage fashion industry, you really have to be a information sponge and avid researcher.

Luckily I love researching and collecting fashion books as much as I love collecting vintage dresses!

    I know it’s been a while since I last posted. After getting ready and selling at A Current Affair (post coming soon), I decided to take a week off and focus on friends, family and decorating for the holidays. I was hoping I would find another pink flocked Christmas tree, but my impatience got the better of me. I ordered a fake pink tree one from Sears.com. I miss the pine scent, but it is just as cute! And speaking of pink. Check out these lovely young Londoners in shades of pink. I love that they punctuated potentially safe winter weather outfits with punches of pink. And no candy ass…

    As lovely as my Thanksgiving was, spending time with family and enjoying yummy food, I am sort of glad 2011 is coming to an end. It’s been a roller coaster of a year. Sometimes exciting, sometimes downright scary. I am currently busy getting my house all dressed up for the holidays, including searching for the perfect pink Christmas tree. I would prefer a real flocked one, but I struck out last year. And speaking of dressed up…I came across this gorgeous 1950s dress on Etsy. The gold and light green make it a perfect holiday dress without being so cliche in terms of color. What I…

    I am so excited to tell you that I have been asked to speak at this season’s Orange County Fashion Week! I will be on a panel, along with Heather Petrey of LA Fashion Snob, on blogging basics. I’m a bit intimidated because I actually get a set amount of time rather than a Q&A discussion panel. And it’s a fancy hotel in Costa Mesa and everything! Orange County is more than just beach and casual wear. The OC, as we call it here in Southern California, is generally considered an affluent county with tons of great and high end department stores and super chic boutiques.

    “The spirit of our Spring/Summer 2012 collection is reflected beautifully in this new ad campaign,” says Louis Vuitton Artistic Director Marc Jacobs. “All the tone and texture of the collection – the lightness, the prettiness, the broderie anglaise, the millefeuille layers of organza – are recreated in these wonderful images by Steven Meisel. It is all very soft and very sweet, yet at the same time very bold and very graphic.” In an intriguing echo of the previous season, the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2012 advertising campaign once again takes up the narrative of…

    “A sophomore endeavor in the glare of the spotlight is never easy. Think second books, second albums, second movies. To sharpen the challenge for Kim Jones, Louis Vuitton draws one hell of a spotlight. But in his second season as director of the men’s studio for the brand, Jones aced it. The job agrees with him. He loves travel, which is Vuitton’s lifeblood. He has a connoisseur’s sensibility, again, a Vuitton signature. But Jones also has the kind of endlessly engaged, curatorial attitude to his world that can make memorably graphic connections between people, places,…

    “Disney’s “It’s a Small World” was playing at Louis Vuitton’s presentation. It’s a fitting message; few brands have the global reach of this powerhouse. For pre-fall, design director Julie de Libran opted to expand on the house codes established since Marc Jacobs moved in and began designing ready-to-wear for the company nearly 14 years ago. And she did that through the lens of Charlotte Perriand, the late architect and designer who’s as well-known in France for her personal style as for her prodigious output between the wars. That meant that…

We wanted to define the body and to create shapes, but have air and lightness and softness,” said Marc Jacobs backstage after his Spring/Summer 2012 fashion show for Louis Vuitton The season’s Leather Goods translate this light, airy spirit, in soft shapes and sorbet shades, and though – as with the ready-to-wear – there are echoes of the strict,…

    The notion of the Louis Vuitton bag and luggage is a key theme throughout the entire collection and roots the overall approach to a sense of the Louis Vuitton legacy. This season sees the debut of a number of new, distinctive bag styles for men. But at the heart of this season is the new Nomade leather, softer and revisited in a rich palette of olive green, burgundy and tobacco. Eponymous of the legendary savoir-faire of Louis Vuitton, this season its simple and classic construction in a variety of styles points to the spirit of the house and punctuates this collection throughout. It also…

Those with disabilities or caring for people with disabilities, limited English speakers, those living in rural areas and those whose employment or marital status changed in 2011 are at the highest risk of overlooking the refund.

    4 Oct 2011 | 11:55 am
    Via Jezebel we discovered an adorable presentation of 1950's swimming caps. Using the puppet stage of Punch & Judy, women in strapless suits peek up in variously decorated rubber caps. Remember, most women didn't really swim in the sense we know today. Instead, they bathed, mainly going for a dip up to the neck at most. The reason? It took a lot of effort to style & set the hair, and no woman wanted to end up with a limp, unstyled coif for the remainder of the day. So much has changed for the better, but I do find the swim caps cute!

  • reader question: makeup + clothing color choices for gray hair

    Teresa Morisco
    25 Jan 2012 | 2:44 pm
    Reader Question There’s a real trend towards women of all ages going gray, whether they have never colored their hair or have stopped coloring their hair.  But those of us with silver locks can’t wear the same colors in makeup or clothing that might have worked when our hair had color, and there’s very little guidance for colors that work with gray hair.  I would love to see an article on changing makeup and clothing to bring out the best of our gray!  (I’m a newbie to the gray world, having colored my hair for over 30 years since my hair started to gray at age 18.)…

    Happy New Year everyone! As I’m sure you’ve noticed, my posts here have really dropped off. It’s partly due to all the many life changes that have been thrown my way. Plus, I’ve been wonderfully occupied with the Style Institute, mentoring and training some amazing women who are launching their own personal styling businesses. Change comes in unexpected ways but if we embrace it, it opens up our world to new opportunities.  That’s why for 2012 I’m going to do things just a tad differently here. My whole philosophy for personal styling is based on three…

  • how to dress: sexy

    Teresa Morisco
    17 Nov 2011 | 12:23 pm
    There’s certainly a right way and a wrong way to dress sexy.  Unfortunately, I see many women – usually younger – doing it the wrong way.  My first job out of college was for a large financial services firm where conservative dress was de rigueur. But there was one gal who was the VP’s assistant who always dressed too provocatively: tight skirts, low-cut blouses, heavy eye makeup, and stiletto heels.  Yup.  She was really good at her job – super organized and on top of things – yet feared by everyone because she looked so fierce. Her attire made the men…

  • what to wear: fall weekend – tall

    Teresa Morisco
    11 Oct 2011 | 1:32 pm
    I’ve written about plus-size and petite style but never tall.  Today, I figure, this is for the tall girls — but even if you’re not, there is something for everyone here.  Many folks think that being tall is easy but finding things long enough is always a challenge.  I am really thankful that Gap Inc offers tall sized clothing!  I also like it when denim designers do the 36″ inseam versus the “average”  32″ inseam which can only be worn with flats when you are tall (AG Jeans!!) Today’s look is perfect for the weekend and provides just the…

  • Tom Ford: A Creative + Intuitive Mind

    21 Jan 2012 | 10:13 am
    Early this morning, I found myself surfing the interwebs - only to find the full episode of Tom Ford on Visionaries on the OWN Network. Entranced by every second of the forty something minute episodic exploration into the brilliance that is Tom Ford, all of my senses became excited and sensitized. When you think of Tom Ford, of course you think of all the superlative titles you can imagine for the king of cultural fashion, but instead my mind always wanders to the people and friends that are completely fanatical about the man. And very rightfully so. Yet, after watching this and many other…

  • The Retrophile

    11 Jan 2012 | 4:00 am
    I bought these cute new notebooks from Thomas Paul on Swirl, just days before they became Daily Candy Deals - which by the way I was totally bummed about.  I left the set of notebooks in my closet for a while because I wasn't sure if I wanted to use them or not. I always think that the quest for a good notebook is grounds for good writing to go into said notebook. So before even thinking about writing a word in any given notebook, I have to feel it out, even down to the examining the spine, stock of paper and type of lining - just to feel comfortable committing my thoughts to this new…

  • Current Fixations

    9 Jan 2012 | 7:30 am
      There's a few sure fire things that the lingering holiday season can do to you (even when the hangovers are gone), like: make you gain weight, read the books you've hadn't the chance to, look at old pictures of yourself during your awkward "over-tweezing" phase, and last but not least, identifying the objects and items that you plan to obsess over for the next month or so. There's a few things that I can't seem to quit recently and it wouldn't be fair not to share my new vices with you. Even if they just might be gone tomorrow. 1.

  • Celebrating Women's Empowerment Week: an Ode to Strong Women

    8 Jan 2012 | 4:45 pm
    The Celebration of Women's Empowerment Week is in full swing and ends on January 11th. The ladies handling the @HelloGiggles Twitter account asked followers to share "who your lady role models are." Immediately, the question made me excited to share mine. I always grew up celebrating women in power, politics, and in my family. The fundamental idea that women could do anything that men could was engrained into my psyche as a young girl. And that very notion has stayed with me and has grown up with me, taking on new meanings and value. In November, I read an article on Forbes by Hannah Woit,…

  • Diana Vreeland Wouldn't Survive a Day in the Information Age

    21 Dec 2011 | 8:00 am
    Quotes from luminaries are always something that I'm jotting down in inspiration notebooks and the backs of used paper (in an effort to do my part in keeping things green, of course). Going through a recent notebook that I've kept by my side for the past few months, I found a quote by Diana Vreeland - who up to that point was one of my fashion idols. I went on to read some words from the publishing and social fixture of yesteryear and it read: "What do I think about the way most people dress? Most people are not something one thinks about." I wondered to myself why I would have even kept this…

    Anyone who has read Steve Jobs, by Walter Isaacson knows that it is filled with as many lessons on how NOT to behave as it is with insights on how to be successful in business and in life.   That is what makes Steve Jobs so fascinating and compelling.  He wasn't perfect at all.  But he was truly authentic.  He didn't make excuses for who he was to anybody, he acted on instinct, and he had unwavering faith in his vision.  For those reasons, I am a huge fan.  His bio is a must-read for anyone wanting to learn from a business leader, artist and game-changer.

    Last year, around this time, I wrote a post about choosing one word to focus on as your theme for the entire year.  You can read more about it here, but the idea is that instead of making long lists of what you want to accomplish (or in addition to this if it works for you), why not choose one word to use as a guide throughout the year. Last year my word was Dream.  It was a great word and I did a lot of in-depth, wonderful dreaming.  Well this year, I want to take it one step further....so I choose: ACTION Because this year I want to act on those dreams.  I want to talk less (ok that…

Through JEM, Joi took the ideal of transformation and translated them into the jewelry. “I wanted every woman to have the feeling of when she put on a piece or pieces of the jewelry…

    Child stars have been around since the inception of silent films at the turn of the 20th century, giving way to television programs featuring child musical performers such as Miley Cyrus who stars in the uber-popular Disney program, Hannah Montana. Jackie Coogan performed in Vaudeville at the age of 3, and became the first child movie star while acting alongside Charlie Chapin in the 1920s. Other former child stars from that era include Mickey Rooney and Shirley Temple. These early child stars paved the way for modern day child stars by lobbying for rights of child performers. As a result,…

What beautiful or outrageous garments will designers drape over their models? Judging by the catwalks of London, Milan, Paris and New York, the 2012 fashion trends will see a distinct return to femininity and glamour, with strong palettes of colour and floral patterns making a comeback this season. However, this feminism does not mean sheer or delicate in particular; rather the fabrics, styles and textures create a strong and bold look, forming the female…

And of the many, none has ever stopped me dead in my tracks. With the exception, of course, of supermodel Kate Moss. A couple of years ago, I went behind the scenes at the David Yurman Fall '10 campaign shoot in St. Barth's - a campaign fronted by Kate Moss. Not only did I encounter her frolicking on the beach - on and off set - but I also somehow, INEXPLICABLY, wound up sitting next to her for the duration…

These suede beauts are quintessentially Marant, y'all - insanely chic without a hint of pretension - and I can no longer deny their allure.  And while they are indeed cas and innately low-key, they also hide a sneaky little secret - namely a 3" hidden wedge heel. Comfortable and chic are no longer a contradiction, and we all have Isabel Marant to thank. To pre-order the Bobby's online…

One of the sweetest new brands on my radar is absolutely, without a single doubt, JULEP, a collection of stellar nail lacquer and complementary nail care products. Truth be told, their mix of fashion forward and staple colors, not to mention the ZOMG TOTES ADORBS packaging, drives me bananas (in the best way possible.)

Plus, this isn't your average mini! Inspired by Charles Anastase's schoolgirl dresses ornamented with 3D, shingle-like panels, this skirt adds just the right amount of texture to your cold-weather ensembles, which, as you've probably noticed by now, can get a bit dreary this time of year.

  • Jeffrey Campbell Rockaway Wedge Boot

    26 Jan 2012 | 6:32 pm
    I am always looking for a shoe that bridges the gap between the transitional seasons — summer and fall, and winter and spring. Last year, it was the KORS Michael Kors Harbor slingback wooden wedge in Cork. I absolutely love this shoe!When I stumbled upon the Rockaway wedge boot by Jeffrey Campbell, it reminded me of the endless options my Harbor wedge has provided.Jeffrey Campbell is known for designing spunky shoes. And while I own a couple of pairs myself, I have to admit, most of the styles I see appear to be most appropriate for costume parties. That's what made this shoe worthy of a…

  • Uncomplicated Drama

    24 Jan 2012 | 3:00 pm
    Some drama, I love. Especially when it comes to fashion. However, drama that's delivered in the simplest of forms sometimes has the most impact. As in this beautiful image. Cropped cardigan. Bra and panty set. On the bank of a river near an old bridge. Oh, top it off with 2-tone fabric draped against the model's legs. Not only does it make her look 10 feet tall, but it also gives the illusion of a mermaid against the water. How fantastic is this? Today, I will carry this confidence with me. No matter what I am wearing.  Photo from youthiswastedonthey0ung {loadposition relatedtags}

    I started my morning trying to run in heels to the Wendy Williams Show studio in my favorite Nicole Miller dress, but that proved to be an exercise in futility due to the dress being fitted around the knees and thus, restricting my walking stride. So after 11 blocks of repeatedly hiking my dress up to avoid walking like a spastic penguin, I finally made it, and ran inside to get in my seat before the show started. Wendy stepped out...

    DAHLINGS -With the GOP primaries and Occupy movements swirling around us, your faithful correspondent thought that this song is particularly timely.Written in 1931 at the height of the Great Depression, "Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?" was originally a Broadway tune. However, it caught the anguish of the day so well, it became a popular standard. The subject was the men returning from World War One (one of the highest casualty rates in history) to find that there was no work and no place for ex-soldiers.Other videos of this song include photographs of the riots that mass unemployment caused.

But, when I've done my homework via the Trend Guide, I suddenly am able to pick out those 5 or 10 super special pieces that scream runway but cost practically nothing. It's such a great way to cheat... too bad it can't help you skip the pay line! This year the H&M Trend Guide calls out pastels, new ways of color blocking, silk…

    Day 3 of Par-ree is coming to a close.  Thoughts so far? I love the culture-- no matter how many people say Parisians are persistently pissed, I prefer the terms private, composed, and pulled-together. Every single thing I've seen so far has been fairy-tale-style gorgeous, and the charm of the country reflects in each of the city's citizens. Most people are friendly as long as some broken Française is at least attempted and you don't look like a stupide Américain; blending in with the norms is highly appreciated.

Empty for more than a decade, the Grade II listed building, which features a dramatic tent-like roof, is an example of 1960s architecture at its best.

    A little Dan Flavin, a little Studio 54, a little sculptural assemblage and lots of pink neon. That's more or less the flavour of the 24h Museum, an ephemeral,culturally kooky conceit that will already be halfway over by the time you read this. It's the type of idea that could only be born from a dream team of artist Francesco Vezzoli, Prada and AMO, Rem Koolhaas' think-tank. And to be sure, 24h Museum adheres less to the traditional definition of a museum than a pulsing remix of art for art's sake (contingent on what you consider art).

    I'm such a fan of fingerless gloves on days when it's cold, but not frigid. The obvious advantage, of course, is that you can use your smart phones without having to take off your gloves. The disadvantage? You're fingers and cuticles are exposed to the elements. That's why I love this partnership between White + Warren and Sally Hansen. For a limited time, when you buy a pair of White + Warren cashmere fingerless gloves, you'll receive a Sally Hansen Ultimate Manicure kit....Read Full Post

It has been a while since I have battled the ugly pit that is depression.  I think that some of my meds have been working well.  I'm actually taking them everyday.  I'm working out nearly everyday.  I was working at a job that was challenging and keeping me busy.

But my problem with that is you have to take them all off the stand to get to the one you want at the base.Some people have them mixed loose in a box, but if you're looking for a certain style/color, it can take forever to dig through.So I store my little collection in vintage stocking boxes. They're satin quilted boxes with six sections meant for rolled up stockings. But they fit bangles perfectly! Bras are another storage issue…

    Saturday I spend the day in fabulous clothes, with fabulous people, drinking cocktails.Nice, right?A luncheon hosted by Julie of Fab Gabs was held at Hubers, and a group of vintage gals in our best finery gathered at a table, while other customers begged our waitress to ask what the fuss was about. I told her to inform everyone we were famous strippers. Telling people "we just dress this way" seems to  be in inadequate answer with most. It confuses them, and isn't exciting enough. Anyway, I had the pleasure of meeting for the first time Janey of Atomic…

I had made so many pieces, I needed to start selling them, just to feed the hobby. In 2002, I started selling my jewelry to local San Francisco boutiques. They were always selling out and re-ordering. Kim, my sister built an ecommerce website and helped with other parts of the business. Eventually it grew into a business that allowed both of us to quit our day jobs. Now, we design the jewelry together and run the daily…

    The 90s was a great time for high fashion. The original crop of “supermodels” was still very much in demand for editorials and shows, even though new faces like Kate Moss and Gisele Bundchen became game changers in the modeling world.  Versace, McQueen, Galliano, and Gaultier, among others, were fearless and at their prime, both in design and presentation. However, the iconic minimalism of Calvin Klein and Helmut Lang was not overshadowed by their peer’s grandiose shows.  Overall, the 90s seemed to embrace a great mix of ideas and trends in fashion. Most designers did not…

    Image Nation Studio's
    24 Jan 2012 | 1:56 pm
    Ermenegildo Zegna Men’s Fashion Week, held annually in Milan, has now drawn it a close. Its conclusion most concretely means that we have an idea of what high-end products to expect next winter, and furthermore that the attention of the fashion world can now turn to the upcoming spring and summer shows. But what can the Milan show tells us about the state of men’s fashion in general? What were the major trends on display? If there is one main takeaway from Milan, it is that men’s fashion is solidly and undeniably looking backwards – taking its cue and inspiration from the styles and…

    14 Jan 2012 | 11:31 pm
    After a few years during which more cutting-edge, outlandish, and provocative fashion styles sat at the heart of popular trends, it may seem as a surprise to hear that a conservative men’s look may amount to an actual trend in the coming year. Mens clothes shops, industry analysts, and other commentators have returned again and again to the idea of a conservative resurgence in 2012. This resurgence would mean tapered suits and a more button-down demeanor. It would bring subdued leather shoes and neatly-pressed slacks. It would, simply put, bring a classical and traditional look back to the…

    This holiday season, men want to look their best. Whether spending the holiday with that special someone, meeting the girlfriends parents for the first time, or taking family home for the holidays, men want to be confident that their appearance won't be what everyone remembers after New Years. Here are a few grooming tips to help men look their best. Get a Haircut While this may sound simplistic, a basic haircut can improve a man's overall look dramatically. However, depending on where you live you may want to have the barber not take as much off the top to help keep your head warm. Also,…

Sportswear has escaped the gym and has taken pride of place as an integral part of any well-dressed man's wardrobe. 1) Rich Tones are King This season it is all about deep, subdued colours such as chocolate, dark blue and rich merlot. ASOS has gone for a palette of blacks, browns and greens for their collection. If you are feeling adventurous, try adding a single splash of orange, yellow or red to turn heads and make a statement. 2)Layer Up to Stay On…

    Alice
    27 Jan 2012 | 3:47 pm
    I have had my coffee and I have had my yoghurt, not that any of them felt that exciting today. Instead of slowly sipping on a frothy latte and enjoying a continental croissant it was more a “eat to survive” sort of breakfast in eager to finally finish the living room painting project.

  • Sunburst in my hand...

    Alice
    26 Jan 2012 | 4:39 pm
    The demolition of the pale blue beach house, or should I say grotty holiday batch (with random pieces of grass growing unsightly and scattered in its white rusty drain pipes) has slowed down to a halt.  For now, the black cables running over its broken walls, working its way up on the tin roof to later end up in a big pile on their sun bleached balcony has been momentarily spared. “It’s going down, yes…soon” I whisper with a grin, just like one of those mean characters in an old James Bond movie.

    I have been shying away from buying any garments due to: a certain (and very enormous) weight gain. The expression “eating for two” did literally apply to every inch of my body, every minute of the day for as long as the ‘we both shall live’ or was it 9 months? Either way, "I do" (or did)!

    I am deeply nestled into a “500.000 names for your baby” book while the neighbours are busy whistling to the sound of a rowdy digger. Its demolition date and that pale blue scruffy 1960’s batch are being torn down and replaced for ‘hopefully’ something more pretty then before.

    The Staple: Bright Cable Knit Sweater If you’ve been a regular reader of my blog, you know that I adore colorblocking. I’m constantly thinking of fresh new combos I can wear. For spring, neon is huge. So I wanted to incorporate this new necklace I bought into the mix. I love the way it pops against orange and purple. While I usually advise sticking to 2-3 colors max when doing the colorblock trend, I broke the rules today by adding a coral pump. It’s a little crazy but certainly made my day extra bright. Aqua sweater, J. Crew Blythe blouse, Forever 21 necklace and jeans,…

  • Orange & Navy

    Sydne
    25 Jan 2012 | 4:32 pm
    The Staple: Bright Cable Knit Sweater One of my favorite colors to pair with orange is navy. Over the summer, I mixed prints with the combo but today kept with solids. When tucking a cable knit sweater into a pencil skirt, you want to make sure the waist is very fitted. If it’s not, you can do what I did, and use a ribbon in matching color to cinch your middle. I originally planned on a tan shoe until these periwinkle beauties came in the mail! The pastel gives the look a more unique feel—plus, it’s a major trend for spring. Aqua sweater, Rebecca Taylor skirt, Forever 21…

    The Staple: Bright Cable Knit Sweater A cable knit sweater can instantly transition your summer wardrobe into winter. Simply layer the sweater over a dress to turn it into a skirt, like I did with this Parker floral one. Add tights, boots and a jacket. I went with denim for a more casual look. With so many layers you don’t need much accessorizing. Right now, I’m loving the dainty ring trend, so I slipped on a couple of gold pieces.

  • Wedding Dress + Plastic Bag = Beware of Mold

    19 Jan 2012 | 11:35 am
    Two wedding dresses, that were once beautiful and vibrant, were recently shipped to Jeeves with mold issues. Both dresses were sent from a different, devastated bride in a quandary. Initially, they both thought that restoration of their dress was impossible, given the amount of mold that had infected each one.

 For each dress, the mold issue could have been avoided, had it not been placed in a plastic bag whilst damp for transportation after the wedding. The first dress, took a dip in the Caribbean, along with the bride and groom, as the photographer choreographed a sunset portrait. When…

    Your man Jeeves knows his clients are no strangers to shearling garments. Let’s face it, shearling is a fashionable way to keep super warm now that the temperatures have dipped in the single digits in New York. However, because shearling is an investment and the winter weather can wreak havoc on your winter wardrobe, most shearling owners find themselves hesitant to pull them from out of the closet on the nasty days. Jeeves wants you to be happy, fashionable and warm, so he put together a little list of tips that will bring you comfort while you wear that shearling garment in any weather.

After years of residing in the U.S. , your man Jeeves can’t help but to look forward to one of the most highly anticipated events of the year, The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Last night’s AMA’s did not disappoint as many of music’s leading ladies arrived in Jeeves’ favorite labels.

    26 Jan 2012 | 2:11 pm
    The Kris Van Assche show seemed inspired by men at work–or, perhaps more accurately, boys at work. This clever, playful collection took basic garments from a range of professions (a traditional farner’s sack coat, a fisherman’s wool sweater, an equestrian’s quilted nylon jacket, a banker’s flannel topcoat, a businessman’s tweed suit); dipped them in unifying shades of charcoal, black, navy and French blue; and paired almost everything with cropped pants of varying fullness that lent each ensemble a youthful charm. The great thing about a collection like this is…

    26 Jan 2012 | 9:49 am
    Brazilian designer Gustavo Lins originally studied to be an architect, but was sidetracked along the way by his love of fabric. Following that instinct, he moved to Paris; promoted his pattern-making skills to designer brands like Jean Paul Gaultier and Kenzo; and, and in 2003, launched his own label, the self-named GUSTAVOLINS. What’s interesting about his collections is how little they have to do with current fashion: like Zoran or Halston in their day, he cares more about honing an aesthetic than following trends. As a result, his presentations during Paris Men’s Week are…

  • PARIS MEN’S SHOWS FALL 2012 JUUN.J

    24 Jan 2012 | 10:09 am
    The JUUN.J show opened with a bang and a burst of smoke, from which emerged a défilé of young men looking like exaggerated, WWI-era soldiers and civilians redrawn as cartoon characters from the not-so-distant future. Khaki brown, charcoal grey, cream and black ruled this runway, along with rounded, over-padded shoulders; cropped pants (that sometimes suggested the silhouette and proportion of plus-fours); and clunky, clown-like boots. Even the sweaters were exaggerated, including a group of torso-hugging knits that showcased every trick in a yarn-lover’s book: huge turtlenecks, bold…

    22 Jan 2012 | 2:01 am
    German model and muse, Lexy Hell, shows off some of her tattoos In the 80s, Jean Paul Gaultier ruled over a unique corner of the fashion landscape, populated by gender-benders, multiculturalists and club kids who hopped from tribe to tribe. Now that fashion’s gone global–literally–his time has come again. But today’s fashion consumers have almost limitless options (some of which reference Jean Paul’s own designs from the past). And that means a true original actually has to run twice as fast just to stay in one place. Colorful photo murals lined the balcony alcoves…

  • PARIS MEN’S SHOWS FALL 2012 Rick Owens

    19 Jan 2012 | 1:20 pm
    The Rick Owens show made mountains out of, not molehills, but menswear, combining slate-grey shearling (with snow-white taping), shadowy forms in black leather, massive sleeping bag coats as big as the Tetons and one or two flickers of pale blue suggestive of thin mountain air. Are you ready to make the ascent? No need to pack scarves: Rick designed them as part of the coats themselves. But rarefied fashion heights like these may require extra oxygen. Rick also played against volume, showing the skinniest of skinny suits on an entire corps of rail-thin young men. He opened the show with a…

Not knowing how precious a thing the heart is, and how quickly time would come to pass.  And all of those things I had waited so impatiently for, would happen, and pass, without fanfare at all. Thank you, Ms. Etta James, for bringing your dreamy music into the world.  The soft, romantic core in all of us thank you for your lyricism, your…

    My least favorite month is looming. Inevitably, I let the dark, sloppy cold of February bring me down.  Not this year. After the overwhelmingly successful debut of this neon shoe, I am eschewing the neutrals and darks that usually dominate my winter wardrobe. Peeking out of my parka will be bright resort classics I can layer now and wear through August.

The fictionalized biopic is about the eponymous porn star Linda Lovelace, who starred in the X-rated film that shocked the world, Deep Throat (which stars this very town — or the surrounding areas anyway — as its smutty backdrop). Lovelace's legacy is a difficult one: After Deep Throat, she became a staunch activist against the…

    Stephen Hall is a New York-based artist who paints abstract shapes, still life forms or surreal figurative motifs, which are rendered as symbolic metaphors, contextualized as such by the use of intense vibrating colors, ambiguous light sources and spatial dynamics. The New York Times sums up his work pretty well: “His large canvases in vividly saturated acrylic show cultural conflict and homogenization: a Japanese woman who, on closer examination, wears a pattern of Eames chairs in her kimono and is clutching McDonald’s fries; a Native American against a patterned ground that…

  • Oi Polloi x Clarks Originals Unicorn Leather Wallabee Pack

    Thomas Fox
    27 Jan 2012 | 7:01 pm
    When Oi Polloi creative directors Steve Sanderson and Nigel Lawson were initially approached by Clarks to produce a limited edition version of the timeless Wallabee, the two were baffled; how does one improve upon a classic? Eventually they decided to leave the enduring silhouette untouched, instead focusing on the inclusion of a special material – “Unicorn Leather,” the name given to elk hides by the specialized tannery that produces them. Known for its unusually soft feel and individualized scars and scratches, the “Unicorn Leather” is dyed with aniline and…

    As part of its program for educational support for young people from less privileged backgrounds in remote areas or deprived urban areas, France’s First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has implemented the creation of a series of educational films, “a craft for me” to upgrade the arts in public schools.

Betty Grable by Frank Powolny You may also recognize this famously sweet photo, also by Frank. "I asked Betty if she'd like to have a back shot, just to be different," he said.  "She said, 'Yes,' and began to clown around.  'You want it like this?' she asked, posing.  And I said, 'Yeah.' "I made only two shots of that pose. It was the second shot that became famous." We thank you for that Frank! I gotta agree, he did get…

  • Wolford Then and Now

    20 Jan 2012 | 10:34 am
    I love this image of a vintage Wolford bodysuit from the late 1960s. I'm kind of partial to these sorts of things. Add to that the fact that I sort of love the look of a sleeved swimsuit, although this is a bodysuit, but I'm sure it would do in a pinch.Wolford is a fairly high end lingerie company that has some gorgeous items that can be mixed and match, layered upon layer to create just the right look you might want for any outfit.

  • Ohhh, That Special Diving Girl

    18 Jan 2012 | 9:27 am
    My ideal beach cottage bathroom. Not only can I picture myself owning a place like this where I could take a soak in that wonderful big tub, I could also just stare at that wonderful diving girl on the wall. She's awfully similar to the Jantzen diving girl, except her suit is blue. But, she can come over to my house anytime and I'd find room for her. Anyone know where I can find her? UPDATE: I did find a wooden one but sadly it has been discontinued. However, I managed to find a decal over at the website Suzanne Nicholl Studio.

    The demolition of the pale blue beach house, or should I say grotty holiday batch (with random pieces of grass growing unsightly and scattered in its white rusty drain pipes) has slowed down to a halt.  For now, the black cables running over its broken walls, working its way up on the tin roof to later end up in a big pile on their sun bleached balcony has been momentarily spared. “It’s going down, yes…soon” I whisper with a grin, just like one of those mean characters in an old James Bond movie.

    In fashion, what once was old is almost always new again shortly after, in the form of resurrected trends and updated takes on failed fads. So are you really surprised that the cropped capri-style pant would come back for another shot in the spotlight? Last spring, peg-legged pants, slouchy cropped trousers, and rolled-up boyfriend jeans gave us a taste of tomboy-inspired leg wear; this year, alternatively, denim is going sleek and straight with cropped skinny styles that are perfect for warmer weather ahead. Proportion-wise, this trend can be a bit tricky to pull off, especially for the…

    I’m posting new jewels inspired by love, (although one could say that all my jewels are inspired by love) in every collection. Inspired by love though they are, they are not, for the most part the usual Valentine fare. There are two new necklaces with hearts–how could I resist–both created from vintage findings, both timeless and classic. Amongst the other jewels, I must say there is much in shades of greens and blues–green chalcedony and fluorite, softly green pearls, French blue pearls, lapis, and turquoise. There is also a marvelous necklace with faceted pyrite,…

    Emma P.
    26 Jan 2012 | 11:00 am
    By Emma Pretto Bring a little bit of the outdoors into the office with these landscape inspired prints! The Torn by Ronny Kobo silk tank and the Clover Canyon blouse would pair nicely with a blazer and trousers. Since the kudzu pattern on the Anthropologie skirt is pretty dominant, stick with a simple neutral top. The Robert Rodriguez and Black Halo dresses have especially flattering silhouettes, and the prints will work for any season. No matter which field you’re in, you’ll find these landscape inspired prints bring life to a cubicle near you!

    Wearing tons of layers and a bulky coat is starting to feel a bit monotonous as we dream of the quickly approaching spring weather, so I thought I’d try my hand at styling three (San Francisco) winter looks with the classic Met Your Match Coat by British designer Miss Patina. Just a little bit of layering inspiration for a chilly day! Graphic Designer Sam sports plenty of layers in our Met Your Match Coat, Make It Network Blazer, A Delicate Wish Top,  Sound Trek Shorts, Wherever You Wander Backpack, and City By The Beige Boot.

Peterman was probably one of the chief motivations in my becoming a fashion writer) and in style. Seinfeld was a sitcom for the ’90s, and Elaine’s wardrobe of bohemian midi skirts, menswear-inspired layers, and, of course, Peterman staples like “Himalayan…

    27 Jan 2012 | 7:52 pm
    Image via WikipediaBy Joan S Rasch Shoppers don't always know what is meant by fair trade. Yet retailers who carry these products are learning that people are quickly becoming informed. And, as this knowledge grows, so does the market. Still, many are left wondering exactly what fair trade is and why it is important to support it. This article provides a quick synopsis of the concept and the reality of fair trade. Put simply, it is at once a social movement and a market-based method to help producers of goods in developing countries gain more favorable trading conditions. Sustainability is…

Nothing could be further from the truth as very talented designers are working with innovative materials to create some great and trendy clothes. What makes eco fashion different from conventional clothes is not their style but the fabrics it uses and the way it is manufactured.

  • Hemp Clothing - Your Second Natural Skin

    Dr Robert Muller
    13 Jan 2012 | 8:19 pm
    Image by lux2night via FlickrBy Nadia Ruseva Hemp clothing is strong, long lasting and doesn't wrinkle. It keeps the coolness of linen and has the softness of cotton. If compared to cotton, hemp fibers are longer, stronger, more absorbent, more mildew and microbe-resistant as well as more insulative. In other words, hemp clothing will keep you warmer in winter and cooler in summer than cotton. Apart from all these qualities, hemp is one of the most ecologically friendly plants. When grown organically, hemp fiber 'breathes' and is biodegradable. Briefly, hemp clothing looks great, feels good,…

Vegans reject shoes or boots and garments created from animal derived goods. At one time becoming "vegan" meant centering on what you had to lose in order to experience an ethical healthy way of life. At this time individuals are more conscious of what they're putting on, what supplies and chemicals have been used, and how it impacts the environment.

Unfortunately for Smith, a biking accident at 17 put an end to his childhood ambition instead pulling his life towards an unexpected turn. It was then that the foundations of a fashion empire were born.

Since I couldn’t pick just one “best” and one “worst” for the evening, I managed to narrow it down to two in each category. I thought that Ricky Gervias’s tuxedo was a little abrasive, just like his hosting monologue. Although it is true that brown and black can be sheik together, not so much in this case.

    The concept of “fashion” rarely comes to mind when going for a run during the warmer months. With mild temperatures and a hot sun at your disposal, you’ll likely need nothing more than a pair of shoes, some running shorts, and maybe a t-shirt. That’s it. The fashion of your attire will undoubtedly play little role in your dress. But everything changes when the weather turns cold. During the winter, runs get more intense, skin needs to be covered, and male runners are suddenly faced with the prospect of buying gloves, hats, tights, jackets, and various other accessories — even…

 For each dress, the mold issue could have been avoided, had it not been placed in a plastic bag whilst damp for transportation after the wedding. The first dress, took a dip in the Caribbean, along with the bride and groom, as the photographer choreographed a sunset portrait. When…

    Your man Jeeves loves awards shows not only for the celebration of the incredible talent spanning various industries, but for the designs that keep the red carpet dazzling! Last night’s AMA’s did not disappoint as many of music’s leading ladies arrived in Jeeves’ favorite labels. Jeeves doesn’t mean any disrespect towards the gentleman and their outfit choices, however he is a traditional dresser and simply can’t understand  why one would opt for anything other than a well tailored suit or tuxedo for such a formal affair; well done Justin Bieber for being…

  • White, accessorised: Barbara Palvin

    Tania Braukämper
    28 Jan 2012 | 5:00 am
    Posted in Fashion / Fashion blog / Fashion photo shoots / Fashion pictures Surgical masks in sheer fabrics make for an unusual (and probably quite medically ineffectual) accessory in this shoot starring Barbara Palvin. Is their presence there to assure us that face masks can be fashionable (indeed, Palvin looks a little like every man’s fantasy nurse), or perhaps to add a unique, unusual touch to the shoot’s styling? All we know is that beyond the strange inclusion, Sara Fernandez’s styling is an impeccable mix of white clothing and coloured accessories. A combination of…

This is one of the latter types of films, directed by Daniel Bartolome and with soft, sensual styling by Sandra Escala.

    Posted in Fashion / Fashion blog / Fashion photo shoots / Fashion pictures Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive was a defining film of 2011. Count Ryan Gosling’s silent, nameless character as one of the factors that made it so; a character who walks the line between bad and good, who aims to set things right but does so via a downwards spiral of violent bursts. Count also the pumping synthesised soundtrack and, importantly, the cinematography. The glow of neon lights, the homage to the visual style of the ’80s. It was inspired, but it also inspires. A shoot like this one,…

  • How to Choose the Right Pair of High Heels

    warlck20
    27 Jan 2012 | 8:10 pm
     A girl should always have a pair of black patent leather pumps that go with anything from jeans to suits. Next, a strappy open toed high heel is a must for fancy occasions and nights out at the bars and clubs. Finally, a nude high heel is a wise choice because this ladylike color will go with dinner out with friends or Sunday afternoon tea. After these three choices, you can pretty much use your imagination and fill your closet with any high heel. The next part in completing your shoe wardrobe will be actually shopping for your new heels. There are several things that you should keep in…

    Lady GaGa’s “Just Dance” was a huge hit that captured many women’s imaginations, but it was the line “I lost my keys, I lost my phone” that really got Canadian fashion designer Elizabeth Anne thinking. Elizabeth, a 27 year old hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia, came up with the unique concept she calls “Purse n Boots” in 2009, when she began work on a pair of designer boots with interior pockets specially made to fit smart phones, keys, credit cards and cash. She calls them, appropriately, “the world’s first purse for your feet”. A unique idea, but hasn’t…

The straps, sides and underwire of a bra can dig into the skin and cause discomfort for many women. Some bras will fit the left or right breast, but not both (What can you do in this situation?). Not to mention the fact that wearing the latest fashions often call for a strapless bra, which can present a whole other list of issues.

The 15 year old has recently started complaining that another boy is making fun of him for his good grades and is calling him a nerd, a creep, and sometimes a loser. My husband has little tolerance for this and has been telling my son to "punch the kid's lights out." I think that this is ridiculous advice.

  • Why Ask Why? After the Breakup

    Marcus Osborne
    27 Jan 2012 | 5:00 am
    There’s something about human beings that makes us crave answers. I suppose it goes without saying that this curiosity, this desire to know “why,” has been one of the driving forces behind our progressive civilization. It’s also the one-word question that we as parents spend endless hours answering for our children from the time they’re toddlers, “Why is the sky blue?” To the time they grow up, “Why can’t I date him? He’s up for parole in 3 to 5 years!” The word “why” has proven its worth over the past two thousand…

  • Study: Walking And Texting Not Such A Good Idea

    Tara Weng
    27 Jan 2012 | 5:00 am
    Talking on a cell phone or texting while walking may seem like a no-brainer, but new research suggests that it could actually be dangerous and result in walking (gait and posture) problems and even interfere with memory recall. Scientists from Stony Brook University studied over thirty men and women in their 20s, all of whom reported owning and using a cell phone and were familiar with texting. To assess their walking abilities, participants completed a baseline test. Each participant was shown a target on the floor. Then, by obstructing vision of the target and…

  • Get The Look: Celia Foote From 'The Help'

    27 Jan 2012 | 3:30 pm
    We can't get over how much we're obsessed with The Help. The story is absolutely moving (I shamelessly cried on an Amtrak ride watching the film) and on second glance, the clothes are pretty much awesome.The 1960s tend to be one of our favorite genres between the prim ladylike dresses, pencil skirts and killer eye makeup (we still love an Edie Sedgwick reference). In any case, since watching the flick, we've found ourselves channeling our inner Celia Foote: the irresistible character outcasted and mistakenly taken for a floosey.Her sweet southern accent and kind heart won us over as she…

Well the months have raced by and my baby is due in just a couple of weeks now so unfortunately I have to step away from the blog for a short time as I go on Maternity Leave.

Steering away from their recent ventures into the world of cinema (which, lets face it, never really worked), this prequel will be screened on the small screen. Carrie is returning to TV!

The show will follow Carrie’s teenage years, from…

Whereas the previous collection reached back to Versace’s roots with bright colours and geometric patterns, the new range sports pastel colours such as lilac and sky blue with lots of white for a fresh look that is perfect for welcoming Spring.

There’s no woman on Earth who looks good in those Devil’s tools, and there’s no woman on Earth who doesn’t feel desperate when it comes to match a puffer coat with the rest of her outfit! “Will I wear heels with it?” (and look like an elephant on sticks?) “Will I wear sneakers under my puffer jacket?” (and look like you’re going jogging on a rainy day?) By the way, my fight against puffer anything was due to the fact I used to live in a warm city. That was…

He knew how to bring in a fine art such as haute couture jewellery underground feelings like punk, gothic and alternative. A great meltin’ pot of cultures and style, made Alexander McQueen Jewellery a strong name.

    Since I am working part-time in a famous high street shop here in London, I have been able to analyse from a close point of view the behaviour of the average customer. I see what people buy most, and what people completely ignore, what people check always out and leave on the table, and what people grab at the very first glance. I am talking about myself as an outsider because I have never studied merchandising, as well as I have achieved a fashion diploma and I have studied something about it now and then. This is helping me quite a lot: watching people’s behaviour is teaching me about…

  • Art: Stuart Pearson Wright wants you to smile

    27 Jan 2012 | 1:27 pm
    If there's anything that separates a celebrity from the proletariat its their ability to turn on the megawatt smile at the mere suggestion of a flash bulb. Artist Stuart Pearson Wright has built a small exhibition of portraits around the idea of capturing this  automated response and the ensuing awkwardness and ambiguity that results in simply asking people to say cheese. With a lick of faux-Hollywood gloss about them, his subjects are grinning and bearing it in a kind of toothsome, medicated trance which horribly reminds me of Britney Spears, mid-breakdown. Wright's female subjects are…

    Harlow and King decided they really wanted to come to the mall with me, weird hey? Or at least that’s my side of the story, they won’t even remember the day enough to share their side. We made a quick run to the mall last Thursday, I had to make a few returns. I am a serial returner; we never try things on (who has time), and if I don’t love the item, it goes back. It’s sorta how shopping for me works, it’s tedious and annoying, but it works (and my husband and wallet like all the returns too). That day the kids begged to go to the mall, this is what Harlow…

  • 10 Cool and Creative Date Ideas for Valentine’s Day

    Valentine’s Day is less than three weeks away and already restaurants are prefixing menus and flower shops are upping their prices. But if you’re anything like me, you’re the anti-typical Valentines Day dinner date. So if you’re looking for creative Valentine’s Day date plans, take note and check out our 10 off-beat options for you and your Valentine (whoever he or she may be). 1. Instead of getting your Valentine cheap chocolates from CVS, or nice but typical Godiva chocolates, make a night out of dessert. Get fancy artesian gelato at Dolcezza and pair it with their espresso…

  • The Style Dialogues: How Can I Make Wearing Heels Less Painful?

    Honor Vincent
    27 Jan 2012 | 1:11 pm
    Dear Gracie with the painful feet, I have that very same problem. Mine is more specific, actually. My technique is pretty good: make sure you’re stepping heel to toe, and that you’re putting one foot in front of the other as much as possible, and you won’t look like a duck. But no matter what, my ankles do what I call the baby giraffe whenever I walk around in heels for too long. Once they’ve decided they’ve had enough, they just kind of wobble out of place and I usually wind up stumbling the last couple of blocks to the train. Unpleasant. But not incurable.

    Served by Katy B Served by Loadium Beats Served by Arctic Monkeys Let me preface this edition of Triple Servings by saying that artists crossing genres is not a new thing. Sometimes it’s horribly upsetting and ill-fitting (punk goes crunk, Kid Rock going country, and other things I wish had never happened). But when a pop song, like Katy B’s “Katy On a Mission,” is turned into a beautiful acoustic melody by a band like Arctic Monkeys, it gives the song a whole new life. Brit singer Katy B is a pop chanteuse whose club-ready pop jams and got her mainstream attention in 2010. Her track,…

    Jo Frances

    I fall in love with foreign labels on a regular basis. I brought back a suitcase full of clothes from Marks and Spencer in London (decades ago when the dollar was strong) and I once spent one day of a two day trip to New York at H&M. This was when there was only one store in the country, instead of in every mall like today. Zara, Topshop---I've had flings with them too. I know they are mass market brands, but with a non-US label, you still get a unique, cosmopolitan look---at GAP prices! My latest fave is Dorothy Perkins, a UK based retailer. They've been around for a long time, but I've…

  • A blouse wardrobe--- nothing over $50

    The one thing I can never have too many of---blouses and tops! I don't know why, but when I'm out shopping, I never think of shopping for blouses. I have the requisite amount of white button front blouses and black turtlenecks, but whenever I want a "cute" top, I never seem to have one. This selection would be a good start: nothing is too casual, and everything can be paired with jeans or a work skirt. Longsleeve Tops at ModClothCardigans at Loehmann's

    Welcome to today’s street style photography post! Today’s shots are from the snowy NYC batch that were taken last weekend. What’s nice is to still see great fashion, even though the weather was pretty nasty. And the fur in this post – it’s eye catching. Enjoy the shots! It was nice to capture these two guys in one shot. The one on the right shows how adding a scarf can be a nice addition to an otherwise simple outfit. This shot was for the guy in the tan jacket, but just noticed the guy on the right has on yellow shoes. That’s… interesting. It’s…

Well, when I was combing Pinterest recently, I discovered a photo of a girl wearing black jeans (hello, my lifeblood), black loafers, and a white button down – all pieces facing serious rotation in my closet. She topped off her ensemble with the one item I lacked: a stunning brown shawl that at once was cozy and unbelievably chic. In the dead of winter, I am constantly pining to break out of my cardigan + scarf rut, and I know this wrap was the key to breaking it. Enter Piperlime’s…

BUT, they’ve started to interests me a bit more as of late, and I’ve been checking out various styles. One example would be the AllSaints Ridge Boot that I’ve come to love. Now, there’s another boot to add to the list – the Diesel Stills. Sorry about the low quality of the shot. Zoomed in mobile photo. First and foremost, the Diesel Stills is possibly the most comfortable boot I’ve ever put my feet in. From the moment I stood up it was if I had nothing on…

    Welcome to today’s street style photography post. It finally managed to snow in NYC and the fashion quickly shifted with the colder temperatures. The thing about snow in the city is that it looks really nice when it’s first coming down, but after the streets are cleared and things start to melt… it’s a slushy mess. The best part are the “slush puddles” that you thing are shallow, but end up being several inches deep and engulfing your foot. It’s quite gross! Oddly enough, it feels like spring (again) in the city today. Enjoy the shots! Look at the…

    The chic button-up (called the Jean Shirt Chemise) is a product of the recent menswear for women  trend and it seems that it may be here to stay. What I love about this style is the way it combines classic with trendy, allowing for a look that is effortless and just all around cool. The pictured navy blue option from Club Monaco is perfect. Wear it with leggings to Sunday brunch, or pair it with high waist trousers for a day at the office. This shirt also embraces another recent trend that is a personal favorite: floral print. What I adore about this particular print is that it is…

    When I read Beyonce and Jay-Z paid $1.3million to section off a part of Lenox Hill Hospital in New York for delivery of their child, Blue Ivy Carter as reported by news media, I smelt a potential lawsuit from afar.

    Sucker Punch star, Vanessa Hudgens had quite a moment as her bikini clasp clipped open, on a fine sunny day at a beach in Hawaii. The twenty-three year old did some quick thinking and moved her hands on her chest to prevent her top from falling off. She gave on lookers and photographers a sly and flirty smile, and walked over to her sun shade to fix her top. The actress and ex Disney star, nevertheless, looked gorgeous in a printed bikini and layers of necklaces and bracelets to complete her beach look. Her signature red manicure always works well with her dark eyes, dark hair and flawless…

    Have you ever watched makeup vloggers? Basically, makeup vloggers post tutorials and their favorite products on Youtube. Some of them are total crap, some are entertaining, and the rest are sheer genius. I’d consider myself to be pretty well versed on makeup – whether it’s an application technique or a brand, I know a fair amount about makeup. But watching makeup vloggers has taught me so much more! Specifically, I’ve learned how to blend shades together and accentuate my facial features in the most flattering way. Here’s my all time favorite makeup blogger,…

    For the past few months my blogging has been inconsistent at best. In November, I took on a new job at a solid-state storage (enterprise level not consumer) company. It’s about time I come out of the closet. Sure, I’m a fashion lover. But I’m also a nerd. A full-blown nerd.   To honor my coming out, I wanted to post about gadget jackets from Scottevest–jackets allowing the wearer to store iPhones, tablets, and other gadgets and accessories. From the outside they look like normal trenches and warm winter coats, but from the inside, they’re full of useful…

    I remember shopping for my prom dresses both times, and both times wanting something classy with a slit. Shar Bear gave me great legs; I owed it to my classmates to show them off. I never found one. And now I’m past my prom prime, obviously, but I can definitely find some dresses with slits.   What do you think of dresses with slits? Is this fashion?

    I guess I’m what you could call a Fashion Purist, in the sense that I believe fashion has to do with one’s body–clothes, hair, make-up, accessories. I have mixed emotions on whether the Gucci Fiat counts as a true fashion statement. When I read about Jimmy Choo Coffee Cup holders, I immediately discarded it. I mean, fashionable coffee cup sleeves? Really?! Then again, I’m not even a coffee drinking (one hot chocolate, please), so what do I know? Let’s take it to the (virtual) streets–are Jimmy Choo Coffee cup holders fashion?   Image from…

    Lately, do you feel like many fashion shoots and runways look as if they were rushed? It could be the wet, “undone” hair of the models giving you that impression. Growing up, that was always a a point of conflict with my mom and I–my leaving the house with wet hair. So I can’t imagine what these models’ mothers think!   It’s not only the models letting their hair, er, wet; it’s the celebrities too (Ashley Olson pictured above). These ladies clearly use some product to maintain the wet look. Those who noticed its prevalence on the runway are…

    Can you believe that Valentines Day is already peeking around the corner? My local stores look like they’ve been hosed down in Pepto Bismol and there are shiny, red hearts at every turn. Are you a celebrator of Valentines Day? Personally, I grab at any excuse to buy more lingerie, so it’s fairly safe to say that I’m a big proponent of the holiday! I love pink and red lingerie as much as the next person and I can even be sold on white on occasion, but when it comes to holiday mandated color choices... I prefer to rebel a little. There’s nothing wrong with going for the traditional…

Funny story, I was walking down the street during my lunch hour and a woman passed me wearing the most amazing purple coat.

    This week for Fashion Beauty Friend Friday, we’re talking about trends for spring, next fall (!) and beyond. 1. With Fashion week just around the corner, we are all beginning to focus on the upcoming trends for fall. But what about the trends hitting stores now? What are you coveting? After a bit of a spendy fall, I’ve actually put the brakes on my shopping for the time being. (No spending at all in January, if you can believe that!) So I’ve tried to remain somewhat blissfully ignorant about what’s in the stores at the moment. But once the groundhog sees his shadow and I catch spring…

    Closet Coach

    One of the things I talked about in my series The 5 Levels of Working Mom Outfits was how to transition from one outfit level to another. Often many of the pieces are the same; the difference is in accessories, or shoes, or one garment. In the next two outfit posts I’m going to show you how this works by starting with a Level 3/Casual Friday outfit and then bumping it up to a Level 4/Client Meeting. (Those are the levels for my workplace, anyway; you might consider these two outfits a Level 2/Weekend Chic and Level 3/Casual Friday. Either way, they differ by a level of dressiness–as…

    Over the years, I’ve collected a small library of style and fashion books. They range from the whimsical to the practical, with a bit of memoir in between. Two that have been sitting on the shelf since said shelf was made from milk crates and plywood in the corner of an apartment were by Real Simple: “Chic Simple Women’s Wardrobe” and “Chic Simple What Should I Wear?” I’ve had them so long they were published when Bill Clinton was president. I’ve had them so long, in fact, I’d forgotten I owned them. So it was a bit of a revelation to look through them again after a decade…

    I may have set a new speed record for the photo shoot for this outfit; it was 28 degrees outside on a Sunday morning when I rushed out, sans coat, and tried to find a spot with some sun to stand in. This outfit was inspired by an article I read in a back issue of InStyle magazine on menswear. They were giving advice on how to wear such items as a shirtdress or long dress shirt. The inspiration outfit paired a long shirt with a skirt, so I pulled out this electric blue collared tunic I recently bought and matched it up with a black and white patterned skirt. Since I’m on a roll with…

Now, orange is not an easy color for everyone to wear, especially if your skin tone and shade, like mine, can best be described as pale. (I prefer to think of it as milky, thankyouverymuch.) Ladies with beautiful mocha and olive toned skin have a much easier go of it; vibrant hues are their friends. And orange isn’t a color hanging in everyone’s closet. But don’t worry–no…

    The catwalks at Pitti Bimbo in Florence are the nearest thing children’s fashion has to the Ready to Wear circus of New York, Paris, London and Milan. Some of the more avante-garde labels can’t afford the catwalk shows so they don’t always break the trends but they do give a very clear indication of what lies ahead for mainstream kids high fashion. The kids that model in Florence are super cute, some are brought in from Milan or even the UK sometimes but most live in the city and get used to the bi-yearly fashion week. As they grow you begin to spot the faces of the most…

I was inspired by the entrepreneur spirit of Stella & Dot and the opportunity to do what I love, style! What interested you in jewelry styling in the beginning? I’ve always…

    Anyone see the most recent episode of Modern Family? I completely laughed out loud when I saw Lily’s light up flower girl dress… and then I saw the rest of the bridal party. Click to view slideshow. I always thought I’d want some sort of LEDs incorporated into my wedding, but I am definitely thinking twice after this show.   You may also like: Shedding Some Light on Wearable Electronics and the Music Industry Something Old, Something New: An Interview with Wearable Tech Designer Joanne Hodge Fashion and Technology, as Woven Together by Lynne Bruning

    Happy New Year, everyone! I had a wonderful week off from work, which I spent with my family back on the East Coast, before returning to San Francisco for New Years. During my time off I did some reflection on last year and found that I’m ready to do something different this year. For the first time, ever, my list of resolutions isn’t long. In fact, there is just one thing on my list: be less busy. Sure, I had an amazing 2011 and have lots of things to be proud of! But, this year I want to focus on less things, but things that mean more. This is why I took a break from blogging…

  • Fashion Photography and the Presentation of Poverty

    Barb
    27 Jan 2012 | 8:36 pm
    In discussing the question of poverty, we often find it in opposition to luxury, and for valid reasons. After all, the dichotomy is quite apparent – poor versus rich, luxury versus necessity, barren versus full. Although we have been known to question the opposition with regards to the ideas in abstract, we do not as often find ourselves interrogating the representation of poverty in direct contrast to its opposite, especially in an area that finds itself revering the “luxurious” – that field being fashion photography. In this paper, we will examine how fashion photography deals with…

    Alexander McQueen armour studded shoes When I went to see the “Sporting Life” exhibition at the Museum at FIT over a month ago, I couldn’t but kill two birds with one stone and head towards the lower level afterwards to take a walk through the Daphne Guinness exhibition. The lower level doesn’t lead directly into the exhibit. Outside of the viewing room is an empty display with a view of sorts – particular mementos and pieces. As I reflect now, it could very well have been the “accessories” portion of the exhibit, though it wasn’t well labeled.

However, the article’s focus wasn’t on the book itself, but rather, on the new photographs of a similar theme taken for the current exhibition at the Museum für Kommunikation in Berlin, which runs until 29 January. While the concept of fashion and food working together isn’t particularly new, the photographs here illustrate a sort of haute and genuine character. Where we’ve often seen…

    Hey, when we love something we either buy it in every color or wear it over and over again, right? Nothing wrong with that. I do it all the time! But even I get bored with my favorite outfit so I’ve learned ways to make it feel brand new every time I wear it. Switch up the shoes, change the necklace, add a jacket, take off the tights, throw on some glasses, put on some socks, tie in a belt and top it all off with gloss, mascara and a smile. Reinventing your wardrobe shows your creativity and saves you loads of times, not to mention, MONEY! There’s nothing like “shopping” in your own…

It is a day best told in photos! But first, it’s imperative for me to thank those who helped make the day possible: Our sponsors at Red Bull, Pretzel Crisps, DewdropDC, and The Swapaholics; our enthusiastic volunteers (comprised of both swap veterans and newbies!); and the Goodwill Glebe Rd. employees who helped us lug all the leftovers down to the retail center afterward! Okay, time for some…

    Do you ever look in your closet and wonder, “Why don’t I have more clothing that reminds me of Legally Blonde? Or Clueless?” I think this all the time. Okay, just sometimes. But doesn’t this flirty pink jacket make you think of some of your favorite retro leading ladies? I love the black piping on the collar, the teeny black buttons, and oh baby—those envelope pockets! They make me feel guilty about my lack of real-life correspondence these days. It’s easy to see that this jacket is short in the torso, so perhaps it’s best for the petite among us. Oh, and…

    Photo by flickr user roslynyoungrosalia I remember  shopping for glasses as a child. It was a stressful hour (or two) each year during which I stood with my parents in front of a wall of frames.  I always felt paralyzed by the choices. How would I look? Would the ones I liked be too expensive? Were they going to fall off during basketball practice? Don’t even get me started on contact lenses. Now that online shopping is more than a fad (thank goodness), it makes sense for eyewear to hop on the click-to-buy bandwagon (thank goodness). Warby Parker is perhaps the most popular of the…

    The theory of May-December romances. When I learned of Demi’s overdose last weekend, I immediately wrote a piece that included the below entry from November, titled Cougar Fatigue. My sweet nephew was appalled and asked me to take it down. But after I learned the details of what happened that night—which I will NOT share here—as always I was right. So here it is again. Cougar Fatigue is clearly what Demi Moore was suffering from.  But now, I guess we can say that Demi is now officially suffering from Post Cougar Fatigue. A syndrome that older women and even older gay men…

    There must be some kind of corrolation. Poor Demi. She was just rushed off to the hospital for doing too much blow, reminiscent of her character on St. Elmo’s Fire. Last November I wrote a piece on Cougar Fatigue. Maybe this recent blow situation is a residual effect of that phenomenon and rather than really having done actual blow, she realizes that, “My life blows.” Poor Heather Locklear who was also rushed to the hospital for a drug related overdose. So what exactly is in the warm smoggy air? Clearly the wind blows. Ashton Kutcher and Jack Wagner may need to start their…

    Brian
    26 Jan 2012 | 6:05 pm
    Alright let’s face it, you read this headline and got excited. Why? Because John Legend makes great music. His latest song, “Tonight,” is more so on the traditional side of R&B and caters to the grown and sexy listeners out there, but the youngin’s out there should definitely give this a listen. John sounds right at home over this over this enchanting beat and Ludacris has written better verses but he doesn’t kill the vibe by any means.

      All through 2011, we saw a big rise in folk-y, bluegrass indie music that looks like it’s not stopping anytime soon. Shakey Graves has jumped on the bandwagon, making the genre new again with a gritty mix of country and folk. The band is made up of just one Texas native, Alejandro Rose-Garcia. He reminds us of a more relaxed version of The Head and the Heart, similar to Mumford & Sons but even a little lazier, with plucked guitars and layered vocal harmonies. “Built to Roam” is just one of ten tracks on the album Roll the Bones, and each one seems to be better…

The guest judge, the great Diane Von Furstenberg, descended upon the stage to urge them to be creative – oh, and to tell them that this challenge would also be the shortest in Project Runway history…

This season’s nail polish trends present a wide range of shades, from subdued to in-your-face, making your options anything but boring. Take a break from the dark, vampy shades reminiscent of winter, and be inspired by brights, sparkles, and…

Especially on trying days such as this one that gives me inspiration to shake off my clouds overhead and write and share! So, imagine my surprise when tumblr showed me such a gem of a designer and label, when I caught the fierce Allie McG (who kicks my arse in Zumba Blitz) rocking a dress that made me gasp?

This time around, I wanted to share with you the latest collection from Joi French and her jewelry line! For spring, Joi French draws from her childhood inspiration (and one of my favorites: JEM!) the the use of neon, fringe, hand-dyed turquoise, and metals laced with leather. Through JEM, Joi took the ideal of transformation and translated them into the jewelry. “I wanted every woman to have the feeling of when she put on a piece or pieces of the jewelry…

    Dev in her "Dancing shoes" music video Dev loves statement jewelry, and in her “Dancing Shoes” music video she wears two bold and oversized rings. Her hinged knuckle ring is the Armor-Dillo Ring by Melody Ehsani, made up of overlapping segments that bend like an armadillo’s shell. The ring sells for $35 at Karmaloop and $45 on Ehsani’s website. Her chain ring comes from Holbrooke by S.Berry. I believe it is the Film Noir ring ($90.00), though all of Holbrooke’s rings have this same style. The chains dangle between the two and fingers and move freely,…

It was sold at ASOS as the Asymmetric Corset Maxi Dress and at ModCloth as the Poetic Penumbra Dress, but it’s sold out both places now. This dress combines the glamour of a long dress with the playfulness of a mini dress. the result is a look that’s both elegant and fun.

Burns Night is poet Robert Burns birthday on the 25th January and started being held around the early 1800s after Burns death. It includes speeches, toasts, poetry readings, and, importantly, Haggis.

The loosely defined space that links the common area and sleeping areas, is built to optimize year round enjoyment of the surrounding landscape. Most interesting are the towers’ top floor bedrooms: they have different orientations and stair configurations just large enough for a bed. Seeking refuge in…

Lima today hosts established designers and architects who have chosen San Isidro, Lima’s exclusive residential area in the spirit of building Modernism.

I am thinking about the exhaustion people feel going down those stairs. Modern stairs are less about circulation. They are more about occupying minimal space and becoming abstract objects. Architect Jacopo Mascheroni at JMA, designed the loft in Como’s staircase as a great opportunity to make circulation free floating. A feeling of weightlessness with a skin and bone structure of open treads covered in maple wood. The loft in Como, Italy is an old…

Designers say that last year the fur coat was the favorite accessory from all the world's fashion houses. The fur provides a touch of elegance and style to the outfit, easy to wear during the day, but be very careful what you wear it with, definitely not a pair of sport shoes or training shirt. Fur jackets are perhaps the most popular fur garment, because they are easy to wear, are great for both day and…

AS IF! Sometimes you might catch her in a misshapen blouse that doesn’t show off the curvy, gorgeous figure she always seems to hide. She has messy hair, glasses, and no makeup – no wonder she’s so mousey, right? No – she’s not the fashion victim. I promise. All…

Etta… I was obsessed with her style, grace, and her raspy, legendary, and booming voice. Not to mention the bold confidence she embodied, making her a childhood idol of mine. To say I sounded like her was silly, which a few people said. Nah, I sounded more like Winona. There was a huskiness I couldn’t achieve then, and still cannot achieve now in Etta’s voice. But emulating her…

Feminine frocks in all kinds of pastel colors, and powerful suits will keep  your body rocking all Spring long this 2012! The pink skirt is definitely my favorite… What is catching your eye on the runways this Tuesday?

    Bikini Buys

  • Volcom Flower Affair Bikini | Feminine Rosette Decorated Pink Bandeau Swim Top

    LaurenK
    27 Jan 2012 | 5:42 pm
    Volcom embraces its feminine side with this Flower Affair swim top.This melon colored bandeau bikini top is exceptionally girly. The soft ruffle only runs along one side, but that's probably enough frills for most tastes. The large floral rosette in the center is another feminine touch. And of course, nothing says girly girl like a shock of sugary pink. The feminine effect is tempered a little in the aqua color, but only slightly. So I figure, why not go to extremes and make a real statement of girl power?It's just a shame that Volcom's focused so much on the Flower Affair's surface appeal.

  • La Blanca Ruff Stuff Bandeau | Classic Striped One-Piece Swimsuit

    LaurenK
    26 Jan 2012 | 5:11 pm
    Don't let the vertical stripes scare you; this Ruff Stuff swimsuit from La Blanca is remarkably slimming.We've all been told to steer clear of outfits decorated with such stripes, but you needn't have the model's figure to look good wearing them. The Ruff Stuff's stripes are relatively narrow, so they don't tend to add extra pounds. La Blanca knows this so it generously offers the Ruff Stuff in sizes 4 to 16.But the stripes don't just add interest to the simple bandeau-style design. The curved stripes around the bust enhance your shape, which is a real blessing for anyone on the petite side.

  • Juicy Couture Miss Divine Bandeau | Navy Blue Gold Buttons Swim Top

    Juicy Couture sets the style standard with this Miss Divine bandeau swim top.The label's come a long way since its heady pink velour-loving heyday. These days the American fashion house is experimenting with more timeless colors and more fashion forward designs, and it's better for it. I love the restraint shown here, something we'd never have associated with Juicy Couture in the past.The navy blue fabric is a classic choice, but it's made much more interesting with the addition of golden buttons. The row of accents brings a real regality to the design that aspiring princesses are sure to…

Hot on the heels of her Trina Turks and Caicos Collection for the Grace Bay Club Resort comes news of her latest line, a collaborative range designed with American leisurewear leader Banana Republic.The 60-piece collection includes swimwear separates, beach towels and tote bags, and maxi-dresses and cut-off shorts for the times you're stepping away from the shore.

    Another exquisite designer collaboration is born! Yesterday, the infamous Karl Lagerfeld released his highly anticipated new line, “Karl,” on the swank online fashion boutique, Net-a-Porter. The website dubs “Karl” as a “collection of covetable downtown classics” and that is certainly so. The garments have the attitude of sophistication and urban chic that Lagerfeld himself always exudes.

  • Dior’s Take on the “New Look” for Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week

    Editor
    25 Jan 2012 | 7:14 am
    In 1947, nearly 65 years ago, when Christian Dior unveiled his opulent new couture collection to a postwar audience, he displayed a new perception of luxury and glamour. Out were the ways of uniforms, restrictions, and sartorial sacrifices for the cause; in were the ways of refinement, cinched waists, and the flowing yardage of very full skirts. This look would come to be called Dior’s “New Look.” Since the initial success and grandeur of the “New Look,” it has been a great touchstone for designers of Dior to capture the timeless house aesthetic that the “New Look” imbues.

For now, combine your favorite black pencil legs or neutral skirt with a colorblocked sweater and bright pumps (cobalt blue, plum, red). For spring and summer, pick up a colorblocked sheath, tunic or maxi dress. This trend is biggest and best when worn as a dress, but if you want colorblocks on a smaller scale try an accessory. Jewelry, bags, and especially shoes are a fun way to mix bold combinations of color into your look. 1. Kors Michael Kors Ysabel Ankle Strap Platform Sandals ($250) Luggage brown…

My main reasons for using the Clarisonic is to clean, exfoliate and to remove makeup more effectively.  Having this is perhaps one of the best things I’ve done for my skin.  My overall complexion if noticeably better.  I still occasionally breakout but much less frequently, pores less visible. …

    I’ve always preferred loose, barely-there waves (not Taylor Swift curls) for it’s natural, sexy appeal.  The best way to add volume and body to my bone straight, thick hair is to use a curling iron – it’s great at making me look less like Pocahontas. The curling iron by Hot Tools I bought a while back has truly been my BFF for quite some time now.  It’s really a supertool that works well enough that I haven’t needed to buy other brands since. Now I want to try this ceramic jumbo 2″ purple curling iron (model 2111) also by Hot Tools.  Yeah,…

    When celebrity chef Paula Deen announced last week that she has been struggling for years with diabetes, her secret caused an uproar. Fans, fellow chefs, and nutritionists all split over the news that Deen’ famous for her deep-fried, butter-laden Southern comfort food has been hiding her diagnosis from the public eye. Adding more fuel to the fire? News that Deen will appear in a series of ads for diabetes drug-maker Novo Nordisk. Already, her longtime publicist has quit over the firestorm.

    Another incident of shoe throwing reported the other day at Dalhousie. What’s all this shoe throwing business, anyway? Coming to think of it, the two reasons that’d make you throw away your shoes could only be: They are bitingly uncomfortable and you hate them. They are completely worn out and you’d rather walk barefoot. Although I …

  • Fun Spring Makeup!

    21 Jan 2012 | 2:49 pm
    I think we all occasionally get in a funk in regards our beauty products. It can get boring, at least for me, to grab the same color of eye shadow and put it on day after day after day (ok…sometimes only on Sundays!)  If you feel like you are in a makeup rut and doing your makeup makes you feel like this: I feel the same way sometimes, sweetie. Then hopefully these fun Spring makeup trends will get you excited for makeup once again!  Spring is always a time for  renewal and change.  It’s the perfect time to get your rejuvenation on.  Here’s what’s up for 2012: 1.

  • Please don’t become a Fashion Trend

    Diviine ModesTee
    20 Jan 2012 | 11:33 am
    Recently, I’ve noticed a trend on one of the websites that I purchase from frequently…pants and jeans with super-low crotches. The drop-crotch jean. I thought it was just this particular company trying to be trendy and fashion-forward, but no…apparently not. A quick Google search for “Drop Crotch Pants” showed me that drop-crotch pants are all over the place on fashion websites. Here’s what I’m talking about: I just can’t. Proportions are so off.  I’m sure they are comfortable…no camel toe, no worries about too tight in the bum.

  • Jack Black Skips Golden Globes, Becomes Prom King Instead

    Charlie Thomson
    23 Jan 2012 | 4:02 pm
    Actor, comedian and musician Jack Black is no stranger to doing his own thing. So it should come as no surprise that earlier this month when Hollywood’s most glamorous stars were walking the red carpet into the Beverly Hilton’s historic theater for the 69th Golden Globe Awards, Jack was nowhere to be found. However it is not the fact that he blew off the Golden Globes, but what he blew them off for that makes this story so touching. The 42-year-old California native was unable to attend the prestigious awards ceremony because he already had committed to attending a very special…

While the British actress’s beauty is certainly not in question her well know sweet and down-to-earth demeanor seems the complete opposite of the storied and often controversial YSL fragrance which she will be representing.

    It seems like gel-nail polish hybrids are everywhere you turn these days. If you’ve spent any time at all on Curls N Pearls, you probably already know that I’m a big fan of CND Shellac (see exhibits a, b, and c). As soon as I learned that OPI’s long-awaited answer to CND Shellac—Gelcolor by OPI—was available I picked up a couple of shades for a test drive. How does OPI Gelcolor stack up next to CND Shellac? In short, I haven’t decided yet. So stay tuned as I will post a full review soon. In the meantime, here are some pics of my OPI Gelcolor* manicures in You…

    This recipe is all about quick, easy and delicious – and thankfully it is on the lighter side when it comes to calories and fat. Being that it’s the middle of the week, I thought it would only be proper that I share with you one of my favorite recipes for an on-the-go weeknight dinner.  I found this recipe in Cooking Light many years ago. I’m not a fan of grape tomatoes, so I leave them out, and I’m probably a little definitely heavy-handed with the horseradish. Be sure to keep a close eye on steak strips as they cook, I have found that the four minutes called for by…

    A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I began using a Sephora eyebrow pencil to fill in my brows. We had a good run, but the time finally arrived for my grubby old eyebrow pencil to join the big makeup bag in the sky. A couple of you commented on the post for the Julep giveaway post that your brow pencil/filler was the beauty item you couldn’t live without. Since I’ve never experimented with anything other than the original pencil that seemingly lasted for years, I decided to roam the aisles of Sephora in search of an upgraded brow solution.

Now I’m sure it wasn’t easy for George Carlin to watch those people leave. Even George Carlin wanted to be liked. But he knew his style of comedy didn’t appeal to everyone.

  • Pointer Footwear for Covet Fridays

    Since I’m in London right now, I have to give a shout out to a British shoe brand I recently discovered. After binge eating some Old School Frozen Custard up in Capitol Hill a few weeks ago (chocolate for the win!), we were walking by Rock Paper Scissors and were suddenly drawn into the store by the most adorable bulldog ever, Ghost Face Killah. Seriously, that’s her name. But anyway. We went in, thinking there was a good chance it would carry up to men’s size size 15 since it’s all about the urban footwear scene. Low and behold, they did, so we got to trying on…

  • Laws of General Economy: Site Worth Knowing About

    Ever wish you could shop the cool girl’s closet? Well, we’ve found out how. We found out about this website when perusing the Mociun jewelry collection for our Covet Fridays post a few weeks ago. The Laws of General Economy is a cool-girl run blog that provides a space for insiders to sell their fashionable wares. Think Etsy and Craig’s List, but under-the-radar and carefully monitored to ensure only cool shit gets sold. Sure, it’s a bit mom-and-pop, and we can think of countless web design changes that should be made (organizing categories and/or tags by size…

    This Saturday I’m heading to the city that captured my heart when I visited 5 years ago…London. I was there for an intensive fashion photography program, and I remember being so inspired. The street style was amazing, every doorway and alley lending itself to the perfect photo shoot locale, the shopping is incredible…I am extremely excited to be going back. With that excitement comes many sleepless nights as I dwell on what to pack, and how to potentially pack it into one carry-on bag. As I scour my wardrobe for the perfect looks, I’ve been hitting the web to find…

    It started with nail color, but lately I've been attracted to anything and everything hi-liter neon yellow. Come to think of it, I've loved neon shades since I was a kid putting bright Lisa Frank stickers on my Trapper-Keeper. 1, 2, 3 I'm currently eyeing this adorable scarf from Gap that's perfect for a subtle touch of neon. (It's sold out online, but it's in stores!) Are you a fan of the neon trend?

    It was definitely love at first sight when I spotted this unique piece by designer Tanya Aguiniga. The gray and pink dip-dye effect, and the rope design are so perfect. I'd wear it just as the model is, with navy blue right now, and with pale colors in the Spring. Unraveled Rope Necklace $125 via Sight Unseen

    It was only a matter of time before people wanted to take photos with something other than an iPhone when out an about. I find myself using my camera phone for quick shots, but we all know the quality is pretty sub-par. Polaroid is filling a void in the market with the spankin-new SC1630 Smart Camera, that allows you to shoot and upload at once. Powered by Android, it features a 16 megapixel sensor, 3.2 inch touchscreen, and a ton of apps. Price is TBA, but I'm pretty excited to test it out.

    (Image credit: Bernhard Willhelm Spring/Summer 2012 via totemfashion.com) I'm pretty sure that the majority of you are aware of that fact that I'm a fool for anything a little out of the ordinary and unique by now - and that's where the Bernhard Willhelm Spring/Summer 2012 womenswear collection comes in. Bernhard Willhelm has once again pulled the hat out of the bag (or the rabbit out of the hat) when it comes to his Spring/Summer 2012 womenswear collection, and I have to admit, I've never really seen anything like it. Anyone who is familiar with the work of Bernhard Willhelm will know…

    For some reason, I tend to find squeezing information out of designers, bloggers, photographers and artists somewhat joyous - and it seems to be an 'obsession' of mine which is becoming increasingly admirable. On that note, I bugged designer Diana Martinez of Estela Balan and asked...As a small child, what did you want to be when you grew up?Diana kindly answered my question with..."I've always wanted to be a fashion designer - yet at one point, I did turn to tennis. I wanted to be a professional tennis player. I've always hated what other people consider to be 'normal jobs', and therefore…

    (Image credit: Black Summer/Leon Sadler by 2 Many Printers.)Yesterday, whilst flicking through the blog of London-based photographer Viktor Vauthier, I came across a reasonably dandy collection of images which Viktor snapped for Brighton-based art-graphic label, 2 Many Printers. This is the second time that I have been introduced to a brand new label via the blog of Viktor Vauthier - with my discovery of Lazy Oaf towards the end of 2011, and therefore (as I'm a reasonably courteous guy) thank you, Viktor.From my own knowledge (and after a quick peek at the "info" section of the labels…

    1 Jan 2012 | 5:54 pm
    My beautiful engagement ring was purchased from Kay Jewelers. Before going into the store I did research online of a few styles I loved, and most of these styles were tension settings. A lot of other purchasers had made comments that the diamonds FELL OUT OF THE SETTINGS! When we actually went into the jewelers I brought this concern up and the lady helping us assured me that these reviews were probably from those women who had their rings re-sized too small and it weakened the setting. The standard size 7 fits me almost perfectly, and I was not planning on having it re-sized so this woman…

I was telling a girlfriend all about it, and she asked if I could help her make outfits for a new go-go dancing job she's getting. I cannot tell you how excited I got. I didn't even think about creating costumes to sell on my Etsy store. I'm gonna get started on some right now!!! If anyone has any suggestions or fun ideas let me know. I think I will do a gold one, then maybe a feather covered one?

However, I discovered, quite by accident, that I could also bunch it up on top of my shoulders creating a fur collar and the warmest scarf in the world.

The taller bracelets go for $190 and the shorter ones are $150, hence why they’re in my “Green With Envy” category.

I’ve had this vintage dress for over a year now and I’ve only worn it a few times, so I whipped it back out, paired it with tights and oxford flats, a vintage belt, some lipstick and off I went! Because the dress doesn’t button all the way up, I added a pin made from a recycled bottle cap, with an adorable little deer inside. The pin is by Emily Kircher, a recycling artist, and I snagged it at White Rabbit, in Iowa City.

  • More Arts Groups Sign On to Oppose SOPA/PIPA

    Adam Huttler
    18 Jan 2012 | 8:23 am
    by Adam HuttlerLast week I told you why Fractured Atlas is opposing SOPA and PIPA, a pair of bills in Congress that claim to protect the rights of artists but would be both ineffective at that goal and damaging to the technical fabric of the internet. We were the first major arts organization to take this stand, and we took some heat for it, but I believe we also moved the needle on our community’s understanding of these complicated issues. Today I’m happy to report that a number of our colleagues at major national arts service organizations have joined the cause. This morning a…

    17 Jan 2012 | 7:45 pm
    by Adam HuttlerFractured Atlas has gotten a face lift! Actually, it’s more like radical reconstructive surgery, and boy was it overdue… If you’re reading this on our website (as opposed to in an email or feed reader), then you’ll already have noticed the new logo, color scheme, and web design. This is the first serious refresh since 1999, when we debuted the old Atlas/Atlas logo. That one was quite literal minded, and (to my eternal chagrin) made a lot of people think of Ayn Rand. The new logo, by contrast, is pretty abstract and something of a Rorschach test. Is it a…

    When I was a child, the one thing I will always remember ismy mother’s fragrance collection. When you entered her bedroom and saw herdresser, you would have thought you were at the Nordstrom fragrance counter.Every morning she would always spray a different perfume and it would lingerthroughout the house for quite sometime. As I grew up, I did not know itinitially, but she is the cause of my fragrance addiction. To me, fragrance is the final accessory of any outfit. Ithelps to leave a lasting impression and completes your ensemble. Few peoplethink about this, but the fragrance you wear says…

  • Fabulous or Faux Fabulous: G-String Wedding Gown

    23 Jan 2012 | 10:05 am
    Fashion shows are all about creating buzz around your line,but German bridal designer KaviarGauche took it to the next level this season. I would show you all theback of this creation, but my blog is PG-13 and the rearview is NSFW. In my mind, the only waythis is acceptable is if you are a stripper getting married in Las Vegas. The average woman already goesthrough enough turmoil trying to loose weight to fit their wedding gown or getthat beach ready body before summer, so this is combining two epidemics intoone to create the ultimate bridezilla (grooms take cover!). I have to give this one a…

Everyone talks about how they are “grinding,” but even the gears ona machine after grinding so long wear down and need to be replaced. Unfortunately,we are not machines and the effects of exhaustion on our bodies are much moredire.Last spring when I was completing my bachelors degree (a 15credit semester), I worked full-time while also completing an internship.Towards the end of the semester, I was so exhausted and worn out, I becamesick.

    Simply gorgeous. The first sparkly nude pair could work in many different ways. Wedding, bride or bridesmaids? Yes. Yes and Yes. With a pair of skinny jeans and white shirt? Absolutely. I could wear the first pair for a night out, the movies, quite possibly dinner with the girls.The rest of these stunners would need a simple outfit...I would want the shoe to say everything. I don't know how much they cost, but feel that at least one pair would totally be worth the investment.All can be found on gianmarco's website.

Instead, I left the bad language in and updated it to reflect my move from Chicago, and also moving from Wordpress to a new hosted platform). Style is not just about the outfit we see at first glance. It's about the unseen also. Ever asked yourself one of these questions: How do my shoes look? Do they need a shine or need the heel plates replaced? What is that sound? Can I hear myself clicking on the…
