Weekend Couture: Dior Shoes

These Dior gladiators ($780) graced every scene in SATC, SJP wore them with everything from floral frocks to trendy skinny jeans. This winter, I plan on wearing them with opaque black tights and mini minis. Cheap imitation knock offs abound but there is nothing better than the real thing! And check out the purple suede [...]

Scarf on Handbag

I love wrapping scarves on my handbags. Bag Snob Tina actually has some wonderful tips. For me, when it comes to knotting scarves they’re usually vintage Pucci. My grandmother was a big collector, an affinity she passed onto my mother and then later onto me. Wearing a silk scarf around my neck isn’t so much [...]

TWINKLE by Wenlan

I have a feeling that knits are going to be huge come fall (does anyone else associate Nicole Kidman with chunky knits?? For some reason I feel like I always see her pictured in them in paparazzi shots!). I love that weather where you can get away with not wearing a jacket and you can [...]

Snob or Slob? Animal Prints

I was really against animal print clothes, bags, accessories, etc, as a young girl.  It just seemed so,,, well,,, old to me.  But now that I am old, my inner Leo is coming out and I am yearning for a piece or two of leopard to add to my wardrobe.  My three year old son [...]

Skirt Trend: Lean, mean and skinny!

Skirts are the next best thing to dresses, you get to look feminine but professional if necessary, plus they show off your shoes so well!  If you have legs for days, why not show them off in a short sleek mini?  But if you are height challenged like me, a mini also works or a [...]

Giuseppe Zanotti — Snob or Slob?

What celebrity feet have Giuseppe Zanotti shoes not graced! Look at those heels — I’m absolutly obssessed with their new collection! I know it may be a sin to say this, but I would take a pair of Zanotti heels over Loubies any day (though I did purchase a pair of those silver thong flats with the red [...]

Leather, Latex, and Lace

  No I’m not talking about some goth attack! Lace, leather, and latex bottoms are totally going to be the skinny jeans of the fall. While designers like Karl Lagerfeld and John Galliano have used the materials in both their womenswear, menswear, and couture collections in the past few seasons (for Chanel and Dior respectivly), it [...]

Sexy and Tall with No Barre

I love these shoes, they make me feel 6 feet tall and very very sexy. I wore them tonight to my birthday party and my girlfriends went ga ga so I am posting this for the girls. Lots of sizes left (now) so hurry! Louboutin No Barre shoes, $965 at Net-a-porter.com

Stormy Cool with Proenza Schouler

The hippest duo in fashion are the cuties behind Proenza Schouler, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez (they named the line after their grandmothers’ maiden names, these are boys after my own heart!). Season after season, they define fashion for even the most jaded of editors. Take cover from the wrath of Fay with this cooler [...]

Celeb Fashion: Jen and Matta

No, no, Matta is not her new boyfriend, though it’s proven to be trustier than the guys she’s been dating of late (I for one am rooting for her, just love the graceful way she’s handled herself since crazy Brangelina started multiplying and dividing like rabbits).  The Dupatta scarf by New York based Matta has [...]
