Go Green

01 . 11 . 11

Big thanks to my friend Sarah at Rice and Beans Vintage for alerting me to the fact that Stella McCartney was also feeling green.   Her 2011 pre-fall collection is full of emerald green mixed with navy and even gray.  Maybe Pantone should call me before they choose their color for 2012!  Green is definitely good!

The End of an Era

12 . 17 . 10

I was a little shocked to hear this morning that Carine Roitfeld, the editor in chief of French Vogue, will leave the magazine at the end of January.  She’s started her career as a model and later stylist for Tom Ford among others.  She’s been with French Vogue for ten years and says she has […]

Those who were not lucky enough to be invited to the presentation of Tom Ford‘s spring 2011 women’s collection can finally see what we missed thanks to Vogue.  The ensembles were presented by a coterie of Mr. Ford’s friends who included models, singers, actresses and others.  Their ages, 22-67, and body types varied from bootylicious […]

I absolutely love fall but always have trouble dressing for the transitional weather. One minute I’m freezing and the next I’m sweating so layers are a must but still hard to get right.  I’ve been pouring over all the images from New York, London, Milan, and Paris fashion week street fashions and now feel inspired […]

Lovely Loewe

08 . 13 . 10

As you are well aware, I love any type of marketing or magazine features that involve gorgeous interiors and exteriors.  The new fall campaign from the Madrid fashion house of Loewe (pronounced Low-eh-veh) has just that and is making me swoon.  There is something about the shots that remind me of the film I Am […]

Lucy in the Sky

07 . 21 . 10

Writing a blog is hard work. I can’t imagine how much harder it becomes when you have to style your own outfits, photograph them and them post them everyday! I bow down to the fashion bloggers who regularly put themselves and their outfits on display for public scrutiny! My new favorite is Lucy Laucht. I […]

Who Wears Short Shorts

07 . 06 . 10

I was working on a post about looking chic in shorts when I came across the photo above on The Sartorialist website. Of course, the photo was taken in Paris where everything looks chic but I love how pulled together she looks. The temperature is supposed to reach over 100 degrees today so looking and […]

My love of Phillip Lim‘s work is no secret and not only does the spring collection go on sale today but they have released a fascinating video of the making of the finale dress. I was deeply inspired by the Picasso exhibition at the Gagosian gallery last year and it was exciting to hear that […]

Prada Print Collection

05 . 17 . 10

My flower obsession continues with the new Prada Prints Collection! Remember when Carrie exclaimed “Hello Lover” in reference to some shows in a store window on Sex and the City? Well, that’s what I thought when I saw this fabulous collection! The floral and print fabrics are from the Prada archives and the silhouettes were […]

Yesterday was Mr. Valentino’s birthday and of all the wonderful cities in the world he could have chose to spend it, he picked New York. I bet that was an amazing event! In honor of his special day, I’m posting some of my favorite images of the designer and his fashions. At 78, he looks […]

Her Mother’s Clothes

05 . 09 . 10

I’ve been seeing this book My Mother’s Clothes for a while but didn’t know what it was about until today. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect than the day before mother’s day since it’s about the author’s mother. More specifically, as the title suggests, her mother’s clothes, but the reason behind it so heartwarming. […]

Met Ball Best Dressed

05 . 04 . 10

The Met Ball red carpet is actually better than the red carpet at the Oscars and I wish that the E! network would report live so we could see all the fabulosity unfold. Reading all the tweets was fun but definitely not the same! These are those that I deem best dressed including O and […]

Stripe It Rich

04 . 20 . 10

Striped cotton shirts have been around forever but you know that they are seriously hot again when both US Weekly and Vogue devote entire pages to them within weeks of each other. What was funny about the page in Vogue was that it included Pablo Picasso but not Coco Chanel. It is my understanding, after […]

I might have to step up my husband hunt since J.Crew is set to open a special wedding boutique in my neighborhood! The atelier at 769 Madison Avenue at 66th Street will officially debut on May 27th. I just hope there isn’t a wedding gown stampede like the one at Filene’s Basement!

If you liked the men’s fall 2010 fashions at J.Crew, you’re going to love the women’s fall 2010 looks! It’s a lot of luxe in the form of sequins, jewels and feathers, mixed with the wools and tweeds you expect for fall. There are a lot of tone on tone color combinations like amber, brown […]

When I was asked if I would like to attend the private preview of J.Crew‘s fall collections, you know that my answer was an emphatic yes! As much as I wanted to see what I will be buying from J.Crew this fall (we’ll get to that in the next post), I was more excited to […]

California Casual Chic

03 . 03 . 10

I’ve already been warned by numerous friends that I’m going to have to tone it down a notch or two (or maybe 10!) when it comes to my outfits for LA. It’s a much more casual city than New York so jeans are appropriate everywhere and heels are almost never worn during the day. I […]
