I was very excited to see Amanda Brooks post the cover of her upcoming book, Always Pack a Party Dress: And Other Lessons Learned From a (Half) Life in Fashion, on Instagram this morning. The book is only available for pre-order right now so I’m going to have to figure out who I need beg […]
There is nothing I’ve been loving more this cold and snowy winter than shopping online, especially when things are on sale. Lucky for you, my lovely sponsor HATCH is giving HC readers a special 20% off their fall collection so you can shop before it goes on sale to the public next Tuesday. You can use […]
It’s really hard to look and feel chic when the windchill is 0 degrees but the fashion flock are doing a pretty good job this fashion week. Except for those wearing sandals with bare legs on snowy days. They just look stupid. I’ve tried to put together some of the more appropriate yet interesting looks. I […]
Even though it’s still snowing in the Northeast, I’m thinking about what shoes I want to buy for spring. After I saw Sincerely Jules above in the Aquazzura Christy Leather Point Toe Flats, I knew these might be a contender. While comfortable to walk in, the ties elevate the flat shoes to something a little more […]
It’s always fun to watch the development of a fashion brand and see them evolve and grow. I liked Trademark when they first debuted but the new Fall 2015 collection looks like everything has really come together. I especially love the coats and that red dress. While some of the shapes might be classic, the details […]
The spring magazines are starting to hit the newsstands and I can’t wait to pick up the Spring 2015 fashion issue of the WSJ magazine on Saturday, February 14th. Dutch model Doutzen Kroes graces the cover and in a feature inside. She looks healthy and strong and makes me to eat healthy and work out more […]
I would like to say that spring is in the air but the windchill is making it feel like 9 degrees in New York this morning. The only thing that gets me through winter is looking at spring clothes hanging in my closet standing ready to be worn the minute the weather warms up. It’s […]
As many of you know, I don’t love pink but I do love a pale buff version of pink. While I’m not ready to break out bold colors for spring just yet, I am adding a bit of buff to my grey ensembles. It’s a color that plays well with others in fashion and interior design. […]
The February 2015 issue of Vogue is chock full of inspiring interiors including the home of fashion designer Adam Lippes in the Berkshires. While I’m sure it’s blanketed in snow right now, I love that they photographed it while it was still summer. I think we could all use a little green right now. […]
I am embarrassed to say that I’ve never visited The American Museum of Natural History in New York. After seeing the cute Crewcuts girls and boys who were photographed among the exhibitions for the J.Crew February 2015 Style Guide, I will definitely be planning a visit soon. J.Crew also collaborated on a line of graphic tees with the […]
I was cleaning out tear sheets this week and came across this spread from Vogue Australia recently . It features model Arizona Muse in “louche locks, easy elegance, a cinematic polish and masculine lilt recalling the iconic insouciance of Lauren Bacall.” It sounds as lovely as it looks and makes me wish I wasn’t pulling on […]
I keep seeing yellow everywhere I look online lately. Maybe it’s a reaction to the grey and cold winter months but it is a cheerful and hopeful color. According to Sensational Color, the color yellow “shines with optimism, enlightenment, and happiness. Shades of golden yellow carry the promise of a positive future. Yellow will advance […]
January 17th was French style icon Françoise Hardy’s 71st birthday. I am embarrassed to say I didn’t realize the model, actress, and musician was still alive. This is probably because all of the photos I’ve ever seen of her are from the 1960’s and she is painfully shy so she doesn’t make too many appearances. It is […]
Pre-fall is the collection of clothing that usually arrives in stores in August, if not before. Some people prefer these fashions because they seem to be a little less trend driven. They also don’t get as much press so you don’t get sick of them before you ever get to wear them. I also love […]
I’m still recovering my recent trip so it was fun to stay home Sunday and watch the Golden Globes red carpet and award show. Most everyone looked amazing but there were a few that I and everyone on Twitter were a little on the fence about. Felicity Jones in Dior above was not one of […]
Now that Christmas is over, it’s time to start thinking about New Year’s Eve. You don’t want to be trying to find an outfit at the last minute so it’s best to plan ahead. A great place to start is St. John at Nordstrom. They have gorgeous gowns, cocktail dresses, and sparkly jewelry to […]
