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 [...]
Proenza Schouler Fall 2012 Collection: World of Warcraft
The confident, booted-up stomp of Proenza Schouler’s boyish models, their hair impeccably disheveled, said it all. Jack McCullough and Lazaro Hernandez were not just sending models down their runway. They released an army of warriors. The concept: “protection.” The theme: “Asian but in a New York way.” Taking direct cues from traditional Asian dress, Proenza [...]
Top 5 Sundresses: Sweet Stuff
You know it’s really spring when girls shed the hibernation of their wool coats and heavy parkas and suddenly appear, like bloomed flowers, in little sundresses. A breath of fresh air! The sundress is a quintessential springtime staple that can be dressed up with embellished platforms and clutches, toughened up with motorcycle boots and leather [...]
Top 5 Bright Coats: Brights Win the Cold-Weather Fight
Ask any fashion editor and they will tell you, the statement coat is the investment piece of the season. Well, nothing makes a statement like a powerful shot of bright color! If you think about it, a vivid hue makes perfect sense when it comes to coats; simply big sheaths of fabric for keeping us [...]
Proenza Schouler Spring 2012 Collection: Gaga for Googie
A yellow shag carpet set the tone for Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez’s Spring showing. That’s right, a shag carpet just like the ones you used to see in your friends’ parents’ basements. And that was the whole idea. Proenza Schouler found their latest inspiration in Googie architecture – that’s “mid-century road stop” style, as [...]
Amazing Tops: Tops of the Pops
Why should dresses get all the fun? Yes, it’s so easy to slip into a dress, just one piece of fabric and suddenly your outfit is done, but now the seasons are changing. Layering is on the immediate horizon, and that means the necessity for an excellent array of tops. Ones that are neutral – [...]
Current/Elliott “The Ankle” Mid-Rise Skinny Jeans: Going Green
Who’s to say jeans can’t be green? Isn’t blue just as arbitrary, when you think about it? These Kelly-green Current/Elliott skinnys are a must-have – but only if they look good. A bright like this isn’t as forgiving to form as our traditional indigos; skinny and green is a tricky business. Nobody wants to look [...]
Kate Bosworth in Proenza Schouler
I absolutely adore when actresses have fun on the red carpet at premieres and events. Kate Bosworth always brings us fresh, youthful looks. Kate attended the 27th Annual Night of Stars at Cipriani, Wall Street in New York City. Kate attended the event with designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, so it comes to no [...]
Leighton Meester in Proenza Schouler
It seems like Leighton Meester keeps going out of her way to prove to us that she is not Blair Waldorf. Smart move given that when the show ends she is very likely to be type-cast as an uptight Park Avenue princess if she doesn’t act proactively now. Meester’s hair and makeup look gorgeous in [...]
America Ferrera in Proenza Schouler
Well if there’s one thing for sure it’s that Ugly Betty ain’t so ugly anymore. How typical Hollywood…she looks like she lost 15-20lbs since her show first aired. That aside I’m loving the look of this Proenza Schouler Virgin Wool Shoulder Detail Dress ($1,427.14) on America Ferrera. It’s a bit conservative, but not in an [...]
