The Untold Story of a Consumer Nation - Something to Think About

The Untold Story of a Consumer Nation - Something to Think About

Have you ever wondered why do they call us the Consumer Nation? And what to do with it? Read this great story by Chaim Ratz and see why that is. Stuff. It fills our closets, our garages, and our lives. We gauge success in life by the stuff we own, and spend incredible amounts of time shopping for it. A new documentary, The Story of Stuff, shows how our entire lives have been taken over by “stuff.” ...

Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Snakeskin Shoes

Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Snakeskin Shoes

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 ...

Shopping Colour-block Scarf Dress

Shopping Colour-block Scarf Dress

I’ve been looking around for cute dresses to wear to the full calendar of events I have coming up this summer. Yes, it’s officially the beginning of wedding season. While shopping online, I came across this Cynthia Rowley Scarf Halter Dress and absolutely fell in love with it.

The dress is colour-blocked in a cheerful yellow and blue and has an interesting overlay on the front bodice. It almost looks like one of those flowy sarongs ...

Steep Vs. Cheap Canvas Wedge Sandals

Steep Vs. Cheap Canvas Wedge Sandals

Platform wedge sandals are staples in my wardrobe. Being very petite, I love to crank myself up with 3-5” heels on a daily basis and am rarely found in flats. I will admit, however, that as I get older, it gets harder to trek around the city in sky-highs around the clock. Aching feet and caught heels in subway grates seem to get less justifiable over time.

That’s why I love wedge sandals " the perfect shoe for ...

Most Wanted My new skirt

Most Wanted My new skirt

There is no greater joy than the discovery of one item of clothing which combines everything you have been lusting after into one beautiful little package. What makes my thrifty little magpie eyes even wider is when said item is found like a needle in a haystack, somewhere you wouldn’t usually look and, icing on the fashion cake, for only £25.

Well, joy like this was bestowed on me this weekend when I became the proud owner of this gorgeous slip ...

Bag alert Patent Francine by Coach

Bag alert Patent Francine by Coach

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 ...

Shopping See by Chlo Printed collar t-shirt

Shopping See by Chlo Printed collar t-shirt

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 ...

Store Openings Madewell 1937

Store Openings Madewell 1937

I was shopping in SoHo yesterday with a girlfriend of mine when she told me that I had to check out the new flagship Madewell 1937 store that just opened in NYC last month (previously locations were only on the West coast). Under the same parent umbrella as J. Crew, Madewell has a completely different vibe than its preppy, clean-cut counterpart.

Stocked with colourful denim, crinkly boho dresses, layering tanks and tees, and a big selection of scarves, ...

Designer Spotlight Calypso by Christiane Celle

Designer Spotlight Calypso by Christiane Celle

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” ...

Spring Shopping Twinkle Start 2 Melt Dress

Spring Shopping Twinkle Start 2 Melt Dress

Now that it’s officially Spring " even though the weather isn’t quite there yet " it’s time to start replenishing our wardrobes with fun pieces that make us smile. This aptly named “Start 2 Melt” dress by Twinkle is adorable and is definitely a piece your girlfriends will fawn over.

The geometric pattern gives the frock a mod vibe, while the striped accents at the hem and sleeves add a slight nautical flair. We love the dainty bows at ...

Trend Alert Pearls!

Trend Alert Pearls!

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 ...

Steep vs. Cheap Dipped in Liquid Leather

Steep vs. Cheap Dipped in Liquid Leather

So a couple months back, we mentioned that celebs like Lindsay Lohan and Rihanna were bringing leather-esque leggings back to the mainstream. Since then, the rocker-inspired look has taken the streets by storm, and shiny, ultra-tight black pants (if you can even call them that) have started to give the skinny jean movement a run for its money.

Worn with sleek knee high boots or a pair of killer heels, the latex look actually works if you have ...
