Steal the Look: Stockholm Shows Us How to Transition
May days don’t always mean you should leap right into your favorite new sundress and toe-baring strappy sandals. There is an art to transitional dressing, and this shot, courtesy of Stockholm Street Style, exemplifies the fine visual balance of the crisp spring day’s ideal ensemble. Flashes of gold, delicious for catching sunlight, and bold, flirtatious [...]
Top 5 Cute Cutoffs: Short Circuit
Cutoff jean shorts might sound like a snob no-no, but on the contrary! A great pair of casual denim shorts is a brilliant way to complete a big, structured tote, nonchalant silk button-down (tucked in or knotted at the waist), and stellar flat sandals for a day of brunching and strolling. Or be daring and [...]
Michael Kors Resort 2012 Pieces: Kors Kills It with Megawatt Fuchsia
Gush as much as you want about Michael Kors‘ way with safari-toned neutrals, but when it comes to color the man really knows his stuff. Now that he’s gone all out with hot pink, I’m having a major OMG moment. I’m loving his way with fluorescence so much, I must make my entire wardrobe fuchsia [...]
Sophomore: The Girly Tomboy
When it comes to unfussy but feminine, downtown dressing, Sophomore is the answer. Founded by New York City It-girl and sometime DJ, Chrissie Miller, her pieces are designed, with the help of Madeleine von Froomer, with her own easy sensibility in mind. It started in 2003 with a simple T-shirt (Jessica Stam calls their tees [...]
Steal the Look: The Kate Moss Effect
God, I would do anything for that body and sense of style. I hate sounding cliché, but I just love Kate Moss. (Who doesn’t? Sometimes there are good reasons for clichés!) Upgrading basics like a black jacket, trouser shorts, and ballet flats is all in the attitude – and Kate has that to spare – [...]
Bath in the Limelight
It’s not just that the big story this summer is limegreen, it’s that it is hot and amazing if you choose the right pieces. Commit to a major piece, like the Proenza Schouler PS1 Medium leather satchel or just use it as an accent with Isharya Short Gypsy earrings, either way, you must include it [...]
Spring Trend Alert: Best in Shorts
Have you heard? Shorts are the new skirts (yes, I’m aware short-and-skirt hybrids are called skorts, but stay with me here). What was once just a staple of preteens, joggers, and beach bums is now not only socially acceptable but stylistically significant, thanks to far more formal styles – we’re not talking Levi’s cut-offs here! [...]
Neon and Neutral: Opposites Attract
Neon seems to be everywhere this spring, even more ubiquitous now than its less attractive sister Day-Glo was in the late-eighties. So how to look on-trend without being the neighborhood’s trendy fashion victim? Don’t wear more than one trend at a time. Okay, two if you’re very bold, but that’s it! When embracing the neon-bright [...]
Gucci Fall 2011
Color, thy name is Gucci. That seemed to be the mantra for the 1970s collection Frida Giannini presented on Wednesday–during the iconic Florentine brand’s 90th anniversary year no less. While the Gucci woman continues to be sleek and subtle during the day–the coats were sumptuous, the tailored pantsuits gorgeous, all in a mix of black [...]
Thread Social Lamé Shorts
The funny thing about the fabric lamé is when you first see the word, you might pronounce it “lame” if you don’t notice the accent, and lamé is anything but. These Thread Social Lamé shorts are navy with a bow belt, and I can’t decide for the life of me if they are Snob or [...]
