Get All Dressed Up!

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 ...

Kate Bosworth Anything but armwarmers!

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, ...

Thank you, Marc Jacobs!

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.

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 ...

Kate Bosworth Love Your Style!

Oh, Kate Bosworth, I have such a girl crush on you…

This girl seldom makes a sartorial misstep, she always manages to be doing her own thing even while wearing the most current pieces and is blessed with an innate ability to pull of even the most unattractive fashions and make them look fierce.

Take, for example, the furry Fendi jacket she wore to the show on the Great Wall…I find it kind of hideous, but Kate makes it work and ...

Men Dont Make Passes at Women Who Wear Glasses!

Whomever coined the above phrase was seriously deluded. Granted, the frame choices of yore lacked much of the style that today’s glasses do, but eyeglasses can be seriously sexy. Gucci, Valentino, and now Marc Jacobs all have eyeglass frames for everyday wear that are as much of a personal style choice as what you put on your feet or wear out to an important event.

My own glasses are from Valentino; they have a subtle tiger-print ...
