Paris Mens Fashion Week: Days 3 & 4 (Au Revoir, Mon Petit Ami)

So for my final piece on the third and fourth full days of Paris Fashion Week for men, I figured I’d take a stab at stronger collections. Overall, it was a great season, with a lot of hits, a few poorly-aimed misses, and a need for even more outerwear (not at these shows, but in [...]

Hermès Spring/Summer 2012 Collection: An Hermès State of Mind

My first Hermès fashion show proved to be the most relaxing and zen experience of Paris Fashion Week. There was no hectic gathering of the herds of guests, nor frantic PR girls running about in a state of panic, so typical of most shows. Instead, champagne was served, as we were leisurely ushered to their [...]

Look of the Week: What Mom Wants

In honor of Mother’s Day, I’m shaking things up a bit. This may not be a complete look, per se – although with these gifts, toss me a pair jeans and a T-shirt and you won’t hear me complain! It’s more of a wish list – a dream wish list. Hey, I’m an accessories girl. [...]

Snob Look of the Week: Jaime King

Who knew the Hermes Collier de Chien belt would look so fabulous on a floaty dress from Stella McCartney?  I love the juxtaposition of the two looks, one tough and kinky, the other soft and wispy.  So unexpected and so sexy!  Jaime King is not known for subtlety– the blonde bombshell is more likely to [...]

Hermes Collier de Chien Belt

One of the treasures I brought back from Paris is my favorite belt of the moment (and possibly of all time)– the Collier de Chien belt from Hermes.  I have been wanting this belt forever but they never carried small sizes in the US (what– do they think we’re all obese?) so I had to [...]
