Manhattan boutique BOC may be situated in a loft, but the clothes it stocks are hardly lofty . . . just straightforward and cool. With contemporary labels like Alexander Wang, Cynthia Vincent, Rebecca Taylor and J Brand, what more could you expect? An equally cool online boutique, BocNYC.com, that's what.

We're spoiled here at the Sugar HQ; on Thursdays we're usually on the receiving end of a giant taco bar. However, some of the folks are getting a little tired of tacos and so this week we decided to order up Thai food. Unfortunately there was a snafu, and both Thai and tacos were delivered. I mean we could have always eaten two lunches, but most of us made a choice. Which would you have chosen?

Giambattista Valli collection was stunning. I particularly loved the red extreme bubble dresses, although I feel they may be too edgy for the red carpet.
White, black, grey, red, pink and even one dash of sky blue, made up the colour palette.
Coats and dresses were pouffed and padded to make the voluminous. Not just in the shoulders, but in the most unlikely places like the thighs and hips.
Fur featured heavily in the form of ...
If you are ever touring the British countryside and see a group of cottages usually set around a beautiful garden they will be Almshouses - it is charitable housing provided to enable people (typically the elderly who can no longer work to earn enough to pay rent).
The first recorded Almshouse was founded by King Athelstan in York in the 10th century AD. The oldest charity still in existence is thought to be the Hospital of St. Oswald ...
For a less in-your-face approach to the overarching artsy trend than straight up brush strokes, there are watercolor ways. Delicate, ethereal, but still crafty, pastel and vibrant hues have formed together to create beauties like Rachel Bilson's Zac Posen. I'm torn â€" I love the boldness of brush strokes but the mystique of watercolor ways. Guess I'll have to give both a go!

Since the beginning of the millennium, sushi has gained popularity among North Americans, with many indulging in the fish, rice and seaweed concoction at least once a month. But do you really know how to eat sushi?
But more often than not, most diners of Japanese art aren’t exactly sure what the etiquette is when it comes to ordering, eating and using sushi condiments.
That said, here’s a mini-lesson on how to eat sushi using chopsticks, what’s what ...
This is the new M.A.C Pro shop in New York. MAC as in make-up not computers. I would love to be in this space and even more I would love my studio to look like this.

Now that Valentino has officially stepped down, succeeding designer Alessandra Facchinetti made her catwalk debut for Fall.
Compared to the pale pastels, bright zings of color, and oodles of ruffles Valentino has infused into his designs the last couple of seasons, Alessandra's work lacked a little of the label's joie de vivre. It could be the more subdued, Fall-appropriate color palette of navy, neutrals, blush, and mustard giving off that impression, but the keen attention to ...
Should America’s Next Top Model Screen Candidates Making Sure They Have a Genuine Interest in Fashion?

Just when I was beginning to get bored with America's Next Top Model, Tyra and her crew did a little switcharoo. Thank you! First they took the production to New York â€" smart move â€" then, they brought on old-school Czech model Paulina Porizkova as a guest judge. Though the caliber of models still isn't great, there are a couple with high-fashion potential. But more on that later. Let's talk about quitter Kim from Worcester, New York. What the ...

One is a millionaire model. The other the daughter of rock royalty.
But last night model Kate Moss and wannabe rock chick Kelly Osbourne turned 3am partygirls to pair up for a wild night out in London, leaving both clearly the worse for wear after a night which didn’t end until the early hours of this morning.
A dishevelled looking Kate leant heavily on boyfriend Jamie Hince, as she and a worse for wear Kelly left club Punk in Soho last night.
The ...
