This draped backless dress from Fendi is so chic. Made of silk crepe, it has a high halter neck, a low back and buttons running down the back of the skirt. It is demure and sexy at the same time. And, it’s on sale. This runway […]
OK, I’m in love. Wish I had spotted this lava dress from London designer, Nathan Jenden, earlier so that I could have been wearing it all this time, damn it! Talk about a unique twist to the LBD! Who would have thought of adding that bright blood […]
I love this trompe l’oeil mannequin dress from Scandinavian design duo Aminaka Wilmont (Maki Animaka and Marcus Wilmont). Made of silk, this A-line semi-sheer dress has a mannequin digital print on the front and back.
It is just so cool and edgy, yet extremely wearable. And, better yet, it is on sale. It […]
One of my most favorite labels is Pringle. A new designer (from Gucci, I believe) came on board last year and has really shaken things up at this Scottish house, known for more traditional ware. I like the label so much that most of my wardrobe from last fall is made […]
I know that I spoke about a white blouse only a few days ago, but as you can see I do have a love for them. That’s because they are so versatile and they tend to make any outfit look fresh and crisp, especially when the shirt has a twist to it. […]
Today is the opening day of the Olympics in Beijing and in honor of the occasion, I’d like to bring to your attention this cotton Mandarin collar shirt from Roberto Cavalli.
I have to admit, I have a weakness for white shirts, especially ones that have a twist to them. I love the […]
The winner of Project Runway’s 4th season, Christian Siriano, is making good on his prize and debuting his collection for Bluefly.com. Although the collection is small, consisting of only seven pieces, it is replete with the Siriano trademarks - fitted, tailored, cap-sleeved jackets and very skinny black pants. Some pieces have already sold […]
The ocher color of this satin pencil skirt from D&G Dolce & Gabbana is so alive! It stands out so vibrantly amidst a (New York City) sea of black, gray and white. And, it’s a great color to wear year round. Another noteworthy aspect here is the […]
I was looking through Nordstrom’s website because on Friday, July 18, they are kicking off their big Anniversary Sale which will run through August 3. What’s great about this sale is that it is actually on new fall stuff - all kinds of stuff from clothing to handbags, to shoes and jewelry. But […]
Even in the summer, you can use a bit of cashmere, especially when it is sleeveless and oh so stylish like this one from Theory. The gray color is subtle and sophisticated but what really makes it of course, is the V neckline in the back. The one-inch […]
OK, perhaps these outfits from Chanel’s Spring/Summer 08 RTW collection are not the most practical choices for a barbeque, but they sure are fun to look at, not to mention, in the spirit of things. Anyway, check out the handbag-as-anklet. Could this be a sign that the oversize […]
The “Nan Kempner” hat (see below) has put me in an elegant frame of mind and if you’re looking for something classy too, this black silk blend blouse from K Karl Lagerfeld will do very nicely. Feminine with its large ruffle and flowing, sheer overlay, it is conservative […]
These flared jeans from Alice + Olivia are not only cool, but so flattering with their slimming high waist. I have a couple of pairs of pants from Alice + Olivia and what I like best about them is their fit. They are cut in a way that […]
Bill Cunningham, the Sunday Styles photographer from the New York Times, just did a piece on vests. I am so glad because vests are one of my favorite items to wear. They sharpen up any outfit and an inexpensive one will do the job beautifully.
Check out the tie back halter […]
I’m still on my 1960’s nostalgia trip and that’s why I’m showcasing this sequin mini dress from none other than a quintessentially 60’s design house, Emilio Pucci. I’ve never bought anything from Pucci before because their prints are so iconic. They scream the brand and so, I have […]
I went to see a really funny play last night called Boeing Boeing. It’s a revival of a 1960’s comedy about an American businessman living in Paris who is engaged to 3 flight attendants, all working for different airlines. He is able to juggle all of them with […]
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Memorial Day sales have come pretty early this year. That is because retail revenues have been sluggish due to the slowing economy and so stores have begun slashing prices as early as last week. It’s not just department stores either. Designer stores from Max […]
How glam is this copper cableknit vest from Oscar de la Renta? I love the fact that it’s a knit pattern you would typically find in a wool or cotton sweater, but it is made out of a very shimmery silk. As such, it is very lighweight. The metallic aspect is unexpected […]
If you want wider pants, then by all means, go for the wide-legged look, not the low-bottomed look. I love this strapless belted jumpsuit from Black Halo because it is sophisticated and sexy. The bodice is boned for extra support and even comes with a detachable halter. The leather belt, which is […]
There’s a disturbing trend emerging and that is for harem-style pants like these from Rick Owens. I saw someone wearing a similar pair in khaki recently and it was not a pretty picture to say the least, especially because the woman was short and rather bottom heavy. This […]
