Marc Jacobs is downsizing show by half.
Now I’m certain we won’t be going to the Marc Jacobs show on Monday Feb 16th. Robert Duffy, president of Marc Jacobs International, said that for the designer’s fall show on Feb. 16 at the 69th Regiment Armory on Lexington Avenue, the guest list is being cut dramatically. The company will reduce the number of [...]
Get Sexy with Ferragamo Marigold Platforms for Valentine’s Day!
Valentine’s Day is an evening of romance and seduction, you need the proper pair of shoes! How much hotter can these shoes be? The back heel resembles a pair of lips, ready to pucker up and the bronze soft calf leather straps will hug and curve your feet lovingly. The bronze color is neutral and [...]
What comes between her and her Calvins…?
Is this what retail marketing has come to? Remember the scandal Brooke Shields caused when nothing came between her and her Calvins? That photo now seems like it was produced by Disney compared to the latest Calvin Jeans Ad. I have always wanted a daughter but for the first time ever, I am glad I [...]
The Brightest of the Season!
Holly Hunter in Reem Acura, Christina Applegate in Emanuel Ungaro, and Kate Winslet in Narcisco Rodriguez I am obsessing over color right now– when I was in my 20′s I cringed at the bright colors my older aunts wore to look younger. They’d laugh at my black/gray/nude wardrobe and said “You’ll see, when you’re older [...]
Caring for your Intimates
With Valentine’s Day coming-up many of us are looking for the perfect lingerie-look. I just picked-up a cute little sheer pink number with heart detailing from Agent Provocateur — I’m only a 32B so I typically don’t shop there, but for special occasions I’m all about something a little saucy because — why not!? Caring [...]
Chanel Haute Couture Spring Summer 2009
CHANEL HAUTE COUTURE SPRING SUMMER 2009 Timeless White and a touch of Classic Black are the defining ingredients of Chanel’s Spring-Summer 2009 Haute Couture collection. Haute Couture shows are grand and the decor often set the stage for the dramatic clothes. Yesterday, columns and round tables were set beneath the Cambon-Capucines pavilions glass roof which [...]
The Power of Pink
Barbie turns 50 this year and I am proud that she has not lost her love for all things pink! My first Barbie came with a Barbie Van– it had a rooftop pooldeck, bathroom, kitchen and bunk beds. I was obsessed with that van and prayed I’d grow up one day and live in one. [...]
By Malene Birger Bead Necklaces
I’m officially obsessed with By Malene Birger’s bead necklaces! They’re so fun and perfect to spice-up a plain tee or blouse. I’m always big on bold or stacked jewelry and I have a feeling that given all the attention Eva Mendes’ vintage turquoise necklace has gotten (as it should — though I wasn’t a fan [...]
Will you fall for Posh? Victoria Beckham Collection Debuts at Stores
I was pleasantly surprised when I first saw Victoria Beckham‘s Freshman attempt as a fashion designer. She presented ten well tailored and fetching dresses and I have to admit that I secretly covet all ten but will probably pick just one. Though disturbingly similar to Roland Mouret (whom she called upon for advice) the dresses [...]
Christian Louboutin 1-2-3: Snob or Slob?
Taking his platform shoe a step (or 3) higher, Christian Louboutin‘s strappy sky high heels will surely leave our bondage obsessed snobs panting but for me, it’s 2-3 too many straps, buckles and pennies. Plus his ankle strap shoes are always unsteady, this looks like a broken ankle waiting to happen. Oh, and it’s $1,495 [...]
