If it seems like ombre and snakeskin are everywhere lately … it’s because they are. Unlike other trends du jour that are kind of ridiculous (like toting bags around big enough to fit both Olsens inside), these trends are chic.
Ombre is a great way to add subtle visual interest to an otherwise blah outfit, while snakeskin strikes the perfect balance between fashionista and socialista.
Clearly, I’m a fan of both of these trends and I was ...
You probably haven’t heard of Kathleen Dustin. I hadn’t even heard of her until a few days ago, when a friend of mine who knows that I’m always looking for interesting takes on fashion passed along her website to me.
Kathleen studied mathematics at University but realized she had missed her true calling as an artist and went back to school to get her MFA. However, believing that sculptures “just sit in the corner and gather ...
The name Coach may not fly off everyone’s tongue as pre-eminent handbag designers, but I’m a big fan of their merchandise (especially their planners and sunglasses). They also have very lovely window displays in their Manhattan shops, so I always try and walk by for a look-see every few weeks so I know what’s current.
Recently, my eye was immediately drawn to this Patent Francine bag, in teal. Computer screens do not do this rich, glowing, colour ...
This spring and summer are going to be all about citrus bright tones, but these attention-grabbing colours aren’t for everyone. Whether you feel you can’t pull off a fuschia top or a lemon yellow dress, or you simply don’t enjoy such flashy colours, there are still ways to incorporate these hues into your wardrobe in subtle ways.
Take this fab shirt from See by Chloé (one of my favourite lines); this otherwise plain white tee is embellished with ...
I may have mentioned Calypso by Christiane Celle before, but it was only in passing and this stylist-cum-designer-cum-boutique owner definitely deserves to be in the spotlight! Born in France and inspired by the traditional clothing of Nepal and India, Celle lived in Manhattan and worked as a stylist for several years before opening the first of her many boutiques.
Her global influences are perfect for the ethnic-inspired looks of this season; check out the silk “Alexandra Jardin” ...
It’s official, ladies. Pearls are no longer just for your grandmother, great-aunt Frances, and job interviews. Sarah Jessica Parker was seen wearing long strands of them looped over a little black dress, and I’ve got to say, she looked fabulous.
Along with the more tailored, 1950s-inspired looks that we saw for the Fall 2008 collections, it’s a perfect time for pearls to make a comeback.
J. Crew, a go-to resource for preppy fashion, already ...
Call me crazy, but I periodically like to go onto the net-a-porter/Barneys/shopbop etc designer lists and click on unfamiliar names. I am forever getting emails declaiming the latest DVF, Louboutin, Balenciaga etc must-have, so I like to have minor excursions into the territory of a new name. I just noticed a new addition to the Net-A-Porter website called Alldressedup.
Immediately I wondered … is this exclusively a line of dresses? I was so disappointed to ...
Oh, Kate. Just after I finish gushing about how cool you are, how gorgeous, how unique, how you have impeccable taste in fashion, you have to go and do something like this.
Why, oh why did you find it necessary to wear arm warmers?
The dress by itself isn’t too bad, not necessarily my first choice but with her sartorial je ne sai quois Kate could surely pull it off. The shoes are fab, ...
I am a longtime fan of Marc Jacobs, and I usually don’t make any effort to hide it. If the man ever needed a kidney transplant, I’d probably offer him one of mine. However I have become just a little bit bitter toward him lately, and it has nothing to do with delayed runway shows or bribing officials. It has to do with shoes.
We all know that high heels can be really painful to wear, ...
A friend of mine has been searching for an outfit to wear to her good friend’s wedding and as much as she loved the idea of wearing a dress, she realized that she wouldn’t be able to get much use out of the dresses she was looking at for the wedding. Instead, I advised her to go with simple, well-tailored separates that she could then wear at the office or day-to-day. Here is what I came up ...
