Top Coachella Looks: Music to My Eyes
It’s that time of year again! When all creatures young and wild get down and dirty in the fields of Indio, California. Coachella is more popular than ever, going for two full weekends this year. Which means it’s especially no occasion to play it safe or serious. Find your muse, whether she’s the retro rocker [...]
Oscar de la Renta Fall 2012 Collection: Dresses to the Nines
The tone for the Fall season has been set: “Go big or go home.” At least that was the message Mr. de la Renta sent down the runway last night. To call the delectable array of dresses, suits, and gowns embellished would be a woeful understatement. Oscar delivered unabashed decadence with jewels galore. Embroidered blouses [...]
Tory Burch Fall 2012 Collection: Lady and the Tramp
A pale-aqua carpet ran the length of the runway, setting the mood of a luxurious hotel. No coincidence – the concept of Tory Burch’s Fall collection was “prim girl who’s under the spell of the wrong kind of guy,” a guy she has met at a hotel. Our lady is something of a rebel, and [...]
Red Carpet Trend- Belted Gowns: It’s a Cinch!
I’m like Michelle Obama when it comes to belts, I want to belt everything (but I do draw the line at fitted cardigans that need no cinching)! When I saw Emma Stone glide down the red carpet at the Golden Globes in her insanely chic Lanvin gown with an equally insane Lanvin belt, I about [...]
Revenge-Inspired Style: Guilty Pleasure – and Even Guiltier Fashion
Full-disclosure: I am completely obsessed with Revenge. I was a fan of Dynasty as a kid and I’ve been waiting decades for another guilty pleasure that stands up to the drama and fashion of the eighties soap opera. There’s a lot less shoulder padding and everyone seems to be about 90 lbs., but I can’t [...]
Jason Wu x Target: A Dream Come Wu
I’ve got to hand it to Target. They’ve managed to attract every legit designer who has owned the runway to do crazy-affordable collaborations. Next up: Jason Wu! As of next month, Jason is set to bring his sense of modern femininity to the mass retailer, with a collection of print dresses, perfectly nipped at the [...]
Miu Miu Printed Silk-Taffeta Dress: One Dress, Two Personas
The choice is yours: take this dress back where it came from, to Petticoat Junction – or give it a sexy-cute surprise and go full-on Gothic Lolita. A dress like Miu Miu’s latest spring number, in poufy red gingham, might look like a statement, but it’s your call. The beauty of a bold frock is [...]
Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2012: A Park Avenue Love Story
Credit: Style.com My love affair with Oscar de la Renta is a well-documented fact, one that even my husband approves of wholeheartedly. And the romance continues with his Pre-Fall 2012 collection. The show’s Park Avenue location might have been a telling hint: we have gone back uptown. Unlike Spring, which revolved around the electrified ball [...]
Michael Kors Resort 2012 Pieces: Kors Kills It with Megawatt Fuchsia
Gush as much as you want about Michael Kors‘ way with safari-toned neutrals, but when it comes to color the man really knows his stuff. Now that he’s gone all out with hot pink, I’m having a major OMG moment. I’m loving his way with fluorescence so much, I must make my entire wardrobe fuchsia [...]
Oscar de la Renta Four-Stud Belt: This Lady’s on the Cutting-Edge
Studs like you’ve never seen them before. When Oscar does tough-girl hardware, it is anything but typical. He executes his studs with chic polish, giving the metal-trimmed belt a whole new meaning. As seen on de la Renta’s exquisite Fall 2011 runway, the four-stud belt is at once edgy and ladylike, a combination requiring well-versed [...]
