I was waiting with great anticipation for Alexander McQueen’s Spring 2009 RTW collection because the collection he turned out last season blew me away. I have to admit that I did not feel the same way about his clothes this time around, but there […]
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. […]
I don’t know about you, but I like a bit of color on my pale limbs in the summer time because well, that vitamin D is very important isn’t it? Also, one always looks so much more toned and slim with tanned limbs. But, you don’t want those same warm rays wrinkling up […]
This Seaton crochet lace tunic is effortless cool, and I’m not just talking about hip, but literally, cool as in breezy. Aside from the pretty crochet lace pattern, this top has many details which make it very feminine and flattering. First, the wide and low V neck is cut just right so that […]
This EDUN tee immediately caught my eye for its graphics. It has so many great details, the most obvious being the black bustier print, which continues on the back. It is semi-sheer which is so clever, especially with the white parts, because it re-inforces the illusion of a […]
One of my favorite discoveries has been JALDA. I LOVE their clutches. They are chic and unique and will not blow your budget. The black anaconda amalfi clutch above left is made of snake-embossed leather and has a carved wood handle. I like everything about […]
OK, “genius” is a strong word, but as I mentioned below, I love the use of chiffon (or sheer fabric) in unexpected ways. I particularly like it when it can be used in the daytime. I have a Marc Jacobs skirt similar to the one on the left except […]
F.M. Allen may not be a household name, but it should become so, at least in the handbag arena. I will explain why. I was looking at photos of the Hermes fall 2008 RTW collection, designed by Jean Paul Gaultier, and couldn’t help but notice the all-too familiar […]
I was completely BLOWN AWAY when I saw the pictures from yesterday’s Alexander McQueen show in Paris. I am not exaggerating. I think this is his best collection ever and the best one of the fall season. I don’t say […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
