Top Fortunate Finds: It’s Your Lucky Day
In honor of Friday the 13th – or in spite of, rather – I think we should invite some items into our wardrobe that are believed to ward off evil. From fiery red to Irish green to symbols off of horses, birds, and wild animals, I’m feeling positive energy abounding. With the right piece of [...]
Top 5 Tops That Pop: You Complete Me
If you have a closet full of tops that not only complete an outfit but actually are the outfit, then your time in the morning is probably spent worrying about what kind of hair day you’re going to have, not on stressful wardrobe quandaries. With tops likes these, you can wear a pair of jeans [...]
Gucci Fall 2012 Collection: Black Magic
Frida goes back to black – and there’s nothing somber about it! I’ll admit it: my friends and I have been dressing like clowns as of late. The all-consuming colorblocking trend has unleashed the tacky in all of us. It is time to take a step back, as Gucci inspires us to get back to [...]
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 [...]
Gucci Metallic Leather Mini Skirt: Setting the Gold Standard
Metallic gold leather isn’t just reserved for glam-rock stars circa 1973. On the contrary! Gucci ($1,650) has given the statement-making combination of shimmer and skin a modern update, although it doesn’t have any less of a stage presence. And neither should you. While you don’t want to literally channel Freddie Mercury, this is a skirt [...]
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 [...]
Gucci Spring 2012 Collection: The Glam Squad
Piping-hot off the Milan runway just moments ago, we got the scoop that these powerfully glittering looks are Frida Giannini’s personal favorites for Gucci‘s Spring 2012 season. Sparkle and swish, luster and polish: it’s the official return of high-octane glamour! Or as Giannini describes it, “sculptural glamour,” created through exploring “an optical side of femininity.” [...]
Gucci Silk-Voile Asymmetric Dress: Multiple Personalities
One part Katherine Hepburn, two parts Bianca Jagger, all parts Gucci! This emerald-green scene-stealer of a dress is a little schizophrenic, but that’s also want it makes it amazing. One side, with a pussybow high neck and long, flowing sleeve veers toward 1940s-style conservative. Stand perfectly still and the long, soft pleats have you covered. [...]
Gucci Fall 2012 Collection: This Couture is Fur Real
The runway show for Gucci‘s fall collection marked 90 years of luxe fashion from the house. Frida Giannini decided to pay homage with Gucci classics and celebrate with wearable drama, jewel tones, and fur, fur, fur! While it’s hard for me to envision getting swaddled in fox and goat at the moment, I’ll be genuinely [...]
Linen Blazers: Living in Linen
The linen blazer is a summertime wardrobe savior. Want to look professional and feel cool, literally and figuratively? Want to dress up a white T-shirt and cut-offs? Dress down a cocktail dress? The possibilities of the linen jacket are endless; the season’s new styles are even kind of exciting. The key to looking several steps [...]
