Givenchy zipper wedge

If you like that Givenchy wedge boot for next season (see below), you may really like this sexy zipper wedge for right now. And, it is actually on sale - only $145.50 - down from $485 at shopbop.

Givenchy Fall 2008 RTW

Givenchy, how do I love thee? Sigh. There are SO many ways this season. Fortunately (or unfortunatley) Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci has given me a few things I will not be able to get out of my mind. His fall ready-to-wear […]

Balenciaga Fall 2008 RTW

I absolutely loved Nicolas Ghesquiere’s fall collection for Balenciaga. It masterfully combined all the elements I look for: great tailoring, classic sophisitication, a modern edge. It seems like he has deconstructed the polite and pretty Kennedy-era style dresses […]

Burberry Prorsum

If you love the Bottega Veneta black petal dress as much as I do (see my post of Feb. 26) and want some instant gratification and are feeling flush, then I have got the dress for you! This silk Burberry Prorsum dress is painstakingly covered with embroidered rosettes. […]

Bottega Veneta Fall 2008 RTW

Tomas Maier’s Fall 2008 ready-to-wear collection for Bottega Veneta is well, nothing more and nothing less than a thing of beauty. Make that many things. These outfits, or exits as they say, are just a few of my favorites. All I […]

Oscar Dont’s

What can I say here? Ellen Page is only 21 years old and yet, her dress is so dowdy and unflattering. Did she look at herself in the mirror before she left the house? I mean, this […]

Oscar Do’s

Heidi Klum totally redeems herself here in my eyes after her New York runway appearance (see my post of Feb. 2). I love the feathered corset on Penelope Cruz’s dress, the sexy shoulder and trim waist of the Katherine […]

Marc Jacobs, Anna Sui, Olivia Morris

I have boots on the brain after looking at all the great boots coming up this fall (see post below). Yes, I know spring is coming (although you sure wouldn’t know it by the weather if you’re living in new York), but boots are […]

Boots Fall 2008 RTW

One of my favorite things on the fall runways has been footwear, especially the boots: thigh high, knee high, cut-out and scrunched up. The black and white thigh-high lace-ups (above left) are from Francesco Scognamiglio. I […]

Diane von Furstenberg Spring 2008

You’ve had a glimpse of her fall collection and now, here’s a look at a few items from Diane von Furstenberg’s spring/summer line. True to form, the clothes have a youthful elegance. I love the details of the Sophia dress ($398 on pre-order) above, such as straps […]

Diane von Furstenberg Fall 2008 RTW

I am showcasing Diane von Furstenberg’s ready-to-wear collection because it was one of my favorites for Fall 2008. Time and again, pretty, flattering, sophisticated and wearable outfits came down the runway. I love the relaxed take on a glamorous 1940’s vibe. […]

Dior by John Galliano Spring 2008 Couture

The Dior bag below made me think of John Galliano which got me thinking about his couture shows. I never really quite believed that fashion is Art with a capital A, despite my obsession for it, until I saw John Galliano’s couture clothes. […]

Dior by John Galliano

As you all know, I’ve been studying the Fall 2008 ready-to-wear collections. All the while, I’ve been thinking about accessories and specifically, accessories that can transcend the seasons as (a) I am trying to get away from brown and […]

Yaya Aflalo

I’ve had khaki on my mind since I saw the Erdem trench featured below. So, I’ve been searching for something new along these lines and have come across this Yaya jacket. Through and through, this jacket is packed with style. It’s perfect for spring and summer. […]

Erdem Fall 2008 RTW

One of my favorite young designers is Erdem Moralioglu. His Fall 2008 collection shown in London this past week was beautiful in its details and use of color. I love the neckline on the trench and the pleated flowers at the bottom. As for the yellow coat, […]

Derek Lam Spring/Summer 2008 and Milly

Derek Lam does not disappoint with his Spring/Summer collection either in case you were wondering after getting a glimpse of his Fall RTW clothes. Case in point are these dresses. The “little white dress” has great details like the scoop neck with the stand-up collar and something […]

Derek Lam Fall 2008 RTW

Fashion Week for Fall 2008 RTW is underway in London right now, but there are still a few looks from several of the New York designers that I would like to mention for their beauty and well, also for their outright hideousness. Let’s […]

Donna Karan

Vavavavoom. Wow, what a racy little number! Well, numbers actually. These two pieces should get the heart pounding today, Valentine’s Day (or any other day for that matter). The sequined tank is made of cashmere so it feels as good as it looks. The skirt is not revealing […]
