Top 5 Pants With Pizzazz: Get A Leg Up On the Competition
Sure, you talk the talk, but are you ready to walk the walk? Positioned to be this season’s statement piece is the outgoing pair of pants, whether it’s a motif with fatal attraction, bewitching details, or hypnotic allover print, the legs have it. Just remember: the fancier your pants, the more restraint you need to [...]
Best in Bustier
I was in college the last time bustiers were the rage and was a huge fan of the look (still am actually!). I remember wearing one similar to the black Dolce & Gabbana floral jacquard bustier to meet Kelly for dinner one night– she took one look at me and said “Who wears half tops [...]
Sundresses and Swimsuits: Miami Heat
I’m off to Miami next week with the boy to decompress after Fashion Week chaos and spend some quality time with him in the Florida sun! But first, I need to spend some quality time shopping. As much of a downer it can be to track down the perfect bathing suit, it’s worth it even [...]
Jennifer Lopez in Dolce & Gabbana: Pink Lady
Jennifer Lopez showed up for an appearance on Live! With Kelly yesterday, with her very youthful boyfriend in tow, but who was looking at him? I am dying over her Dolce & Gabbana coat. A mannish, double-breasted shape in sweet baby pink with a contrasting gray collar – so early eighties-chic! (yes, I’m the same age as J. [...]
Top 5 Creamy Cocktail Dresses: Pale Fire
The weather outside may be turning frightful, but there’s no reason you shouldn’t look delightful! Emphasis on “light.” We might have the urge to turn towards deeper hues this time of year – and nothing beats a good jewel tone for certain December festivities – but a fresh crop of pale and airy dresses have [...]
Top 5 SJP-Inspired Sheer Printed Blouses: I Know How She Does It!
I went to see “I Don’t Know How She Does It” the other day: no rave reviews here, although it is fun to see with other moms, but the take-away for me was Sarah Jessica Parker’s character’s wardrobe. More specifically, her very specific blouse styles. She plays a harried financial analyst, but instead of boring [...]
Milan Fashion Week Trend Alert: Twinkle, Twinkle, Fashion Star
Three big players at Milan Fashion Week – Dolce & Gabbana, Roberto Cavalli, and Giorgio Armani – opened (and in two cases, closed) their Spring 2012 shows with a shimmering, sparkling, dazzle-the-night sky bang. Ladies, sequins are back and more abundant than ever. Call it a kind of opulent optimism, one that we all seem [...]
Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2012 Collection: Mangia, Mangia!
Italians have always had a flair for flavor. This spring, they are proving they have quite the eye for it as well. Fruits and veggies abounded at Moschino Cheap and Chic, but Dolce & Gabbana‘s red-hot chili peppers are so much spicier! And so are their tomatoes, eggplants . I’m not just talking color here, [...]
Bow-Tie Blouses: Fit to Be Tied
Whether in floppy bows, menswear-inspired strips, or flowing panels, there are few shirts more feminine than the bow-tie blouse. Girly, sweet, busy-like, professional: it’s pure woman. Mary Tyler Moore and Rhoda lived for tie-front blouses; in “Nine to Five,” Jane Fonda was all about them. While they may have felt dated a few seasons ago, [...]
Steal the Look: The Kate Moss Effect
God, I would do anything for that body and sense of style. I hate sounding cliché, but I just love Kate Moss. (Who doesn’t? Sometimes there are good reasons for clichés!) Upgrading basics like a black jacket, trouser shorts, and ballet flats is all in the attitude – and Kate has that to spare – [...]
