Top 5 Lolita Looks: Retro Revival
Dolores Haze might have just been 12-years-old, but the reluctant “nymphet” has proven herself to be a style icon for decades. And while the topic of this lust story may be uncomfortable at best, there’s no denying the cultural influence. Penned in 1955, the star of one of the most controversial novels of all time [...]
Top 5 Gingham Garments: Checks, Please!
Gingham is a natural choice for summer prints (and has been for years, from little girls to sixties’ mods), but these aren’t your typical square-dancing skirts. Slightly abstracted, mutated, and impressionistic checks bring a more sophisticated feel to these skirts and dresses. Think sweet country girl living it up in the city. And if you’re [...]
GCB-Inspired Style: Carlene Cockburn vs. Amanda Vaughn
My new Texas-sized obsession? GCB! If you haven’t watched the hilarious new show yet, based on the book Good Christian Bitches, trust me, you’re in for a deliciously guilty Southern treat, packed with naughty humor and Dallas-tastic style (What else would you expect from Sex and the City creator Darren Star and Steel Magnolias writer [...]
Top 5 Little Printed Dresses: Short Notice
Good things come in small packages, and that especially includes dresses. A great maxi-dress will always have allure come summer, but there’s something about a lively, little, leg-baring dress that is consistently festive and fun.

How to Wear It: Cropped Sweaters
Ah, the crop top: a look that few master and too many abuse. The cropped sweater has been making a strong showing as of late (the last time we saw so many was in mohair form in the mid-nineties!), but it’s vital to take proportion play into consideration. The key is just a peek of [...]
Trend Alert: Peter Pan Collars
What goes up must come down: what once was fussy is now fresh, once prep now hip. The new Peter Pan look is not your goody-two-shoes, Sandra Dee collar. The sixties-inspired style is now chic and polished. The connotation is youthful innocence – and that’s just what makes it just a bit provocative now! 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. [...]
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 [...]
Miu Miu Wool-Blend Mini Skirt: The Hip Extending Skirt
I don’t know about you, but my hips are already wide enough without extending them any further. There are women out there who complain about their narrow hips, wishing they were curvier (I do know women like this and yes, I do have urges to stab them with my spaghetti fork). If you are one [...]
