The Bra Brigade: How to Flaunt Yours Like a Snob

The Aussies have a delightfully irreverent way with fashion and an quirky take on the high-low mix. The girls Down Under also know how to flaunt what they’ve got up top – without showing off all the goods. With Australian Fashion Week in full swing, Tommy Ton snapped up a handful of hotties who show [...]

Top 5 New Lace Looks: Lace Changes Pace

Lace is not going anywhere for the summer. Don’t think of it as a trend anymore but a classic fabric that can be as romantic, edgy, ladylike, or carefree as you want it to be. It all depends on the color (white is pure and classic; red says you’re a wild thing) and the silhouette. [...]

Early Nineties Revival: The Return of Grunge?

WWD has just announced the return of Grunge for Fall 2012. Are you ready for the return of the dumpster-chic kinderwhore? According to WWD, you’d better be! Dressing like a ragamuffin is it this fall. I dabbled in grunge-glam in the nineties, courtesy of Marc Jacobs, who in 1992 said “Grunge style is about doing [...]

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 [...]

Jason Wu x Target: A Dream Come Wu

I’ve got to hand it to Target. They’ve managed to attract every legit designer who has owned the runway to do crazy-affordable collaborations. Next up: Jason Wu! As of next month, Jason is set to bring his sense of modern femininity to the mass retailer, with a collection of print dresses, perfectly nipped at the [...]

Get the Look: A Study on the Messy Collegiate

No matter what time of year, the easygoing collegiate is a recurring fashion character we will see time and again. She’s unconcerned – her wardrobe, half of which has been copped from her boyfriend, either by inspiration or borrowing, must be unfettered because she’s too busy to try too hard. Blend these modern updates for [...]

Uterque

Since so many of us are traveling now that it’s finally summer, I thought I would highlight another popular European chain of boutiques. You wouldn’t know it from the outside, but Uterque is owned by the same folks behind Zara. The boutiques have the same minimalist-sleek decor as Zara stores, but they’re a lot darker, [...]

H&M x Sonia Rykiel Knitwear Collection

Swedish fast-fashion giant H&M looks to have another hit on its hand–this time courtesy of Sonia Rykiel. The French “Queen of Knits” launched her second collection (the first being a lingerie line) with a party in Manhattan last week that had all the core looks on display. Previewing them up close for the first time, [...]

Stay warm and sparkle bright in Portolano: 25% off!

You’d think I’m living in Colorado with the dry and bone chilling weather we’ve been having here lately. I’ve resorted to working while wrapped in my old Moncler ski jacket (at my desk) and a favorite old and tattered scarf but when I go out, I want something more exciting than boring scarves and gloves [...]
