Top Coachella Looks: Music to My Eyes
It’s that time of year again! When all creatures young and wild get down and dirty in the fields of Indio, California. Coachella is more popular than ever, going for two full weekends this year. Which means it’s especially no occasion to play it safe or serious. Find your muse, whether she’s the retro rocker [...]
Jil Sander Net-Overlay Beanie: Cool Beans
This hat is actually a beanie with a veil over it. Sounds tragic but in fact, it is super-chic. Not only was Jil Sander’s hat ($439) a recent Fashion Week scene-stealer, spotted on the likes of models and editors alike (Anna Dello Russo was the first, when she snagged it right off the Spring 2012 [...]
Jenny Packham Bridal Headdresses: The Princess Bride
If you’re planning to walk down the aisle this summer, soft, loose curls and one of these ethereal headdresses is the look you want. Summer brides should embrace a somewhat relaxed sense of beauty, and Jenny Packham’s accessories get it right: elegant but not overdone.

Menswear at F/W ’12 NYFW: Magic in Manhattan
This fall, menswear has moved in a new direction, entirely. Albeit, it’s sexy, chic, and dark. I like it, and New York has done a fantastic job showing this. These are my highlights for it: It started with Yigal Azrouël, a man who possesses a personality so charming, it matches the clothes in the beauty [...]
Marc Jacobs Fall 2012 Collection: Magical Mystery Tour
Marc is back! Not that he ever went away – he certainly didn’t – but I’m talking about the old Marc Jacobs we used to know and love, fresh off his Perry Ellis days in the early nineties. The guy with a quirky edge who doesn’t give a damn. I loved the whimsy of his Fall [...]
Donna Karan Fall 2012 Collection: A Woman’s Worth
Strength and seduction merged at Donna Karan’s Fall 2012 show. She made the often-inconceivable unity look so simple, so easy. Yet her woman is anything but. “Don’t trifle with me she says,” with a coy and naughty smile, peeking out below a petite top hat all askew, which set the retro tone. Pinstripes and hardcore [...]
From Snowboard Bum to Style Muse: From the Slopes to the Streets?
I never thought I would be looking to boyish skater-snowboarder brands like Vans, DC, Burton, and Roxy Quiksilver (though their board shorts were all the rage for ‘tween girls in the late nineties) for my winter style inspiration, but if the newest gear for Winter 2012 is any indication, it may be time for me [...]
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 [...]
The Five Rainy-Day Essentials: Blame It On the Rain
I hate the rain, mostly just because I’m usually so unprepared it makes everything more miserable. But if you avoid getting wet and chilled, and once-dreary downpours could even be fun. It’s all about attitude…and accessories! If you’ve got the right gear to look forward to wearing, the rest will fall into place. Here are [...]
