Celeb Trend: Leather Blazers
I love, love leather blazers! So perfect for a strong fall statement, especially when paired with a tight-fitting pair of jeans, a simple tee, and some bold baubles. I wish it were warm enough to pair it with a mini a la Beyonce, but alas that weather has passed here in NYC:-( For some leather [...]
Marni Ankle boot: Snob or Slob?
Did I say I liked crazy shoes? These are certainly crazy, but not crazy good, they’re kind of crazy random (and leg warmer-ish). The suede boot would be cute if it ended in an open toe, not a whole other shoe all together. I mean what happened here? Half way making the boot someone decided [...]
Chic and Cheap Thrills: Kate Moss Top Shop
I got hooked on Kate Moss for Top Shop during my last trip to London. I picked up a gray leather jacket (Nina Garcia has same!) that has become the envy of all my girlfriends here. For the price, Kate Moss Top Shop is of higher quality than most of the mall brands and definitely [...]
Celeb Trend: Cropped Tops
Photo from People.com Forget the 80s neon, street fashion is all about the grunge from the late 80s/early 90s these days. I keep seeing images of young Hollywood hitting the town in Madonna-style cropped tops. The ladies pictured above can pull-off the look because they’re all gorge and super-leggy, but for the average-sized lady I [...]
FENDI Cutout Platforms
I’m attracted to crazy shoes. Every time I see a pair, I want! But the last time I gave into crazy FENDI shoe urge I almost broke my ankle so must tread carefully with this. No idea why but these just really appeal to me. They look like Dutch dancing shoes but just much, much [...]
Who Wore Balmain Best? Shakira vs Pink
Someone in Balmain’s PR must have gotten very confused, because a big no-no happened at the VMAs. Shakira and Pink both turned-up wearing the exact same sparkly Balmain strapless mini! I’m a huge fan of all the fierce Balmain fashions, but this dress isn’t doing it for me. I’m not really feeling it on either [...]
Marie Saint Pierre
It’s so exciting to discover new designers but Marie Saint Pierre is hardly ‘new’. She’s been a visionary of the Canadian fashion scene for over 21 years now and is wildly popular in both Europe and Asia– no idea why the US has not caught on but I aim to change that! I discovered her [...]
Rupert Sanderson Shoes
I adore Freida Pinto (how can you not after that performance in Slumdog Millionaire!?) and I discovered Rupert Sanderson shoes because she has been seen in them almost every time she appears in public (ahhh, the power of the celeb!). I’m anxious to get a pair on my own feet but can’t decide which. Am [...]
Mongolian Madness
Despite the heat wave on the last few days of Fashion Week, I saw more than a few fashion lovin’ girls in their furs. Paired with skinny jeans or leggings, Mongolian fur toppers look chic and modern (and check out Phillip Lim’s sequined back!). Here are a few of snob favorites for the season: Fendi [...]
Frank Gehry Tiffany Collection
A few weeks ago I went to Bilbao to see the Frank Gehry-designed Guggenheim museum — absolutely stunning! The man is a genius and if you’re ever in Bilabo’s vicinity it’s definitely worth checking-out. Gehry is one of the few living architecture superstars (though he’s already 80 years old!), and has been able to translate [...]
