Headbands
I never really fancied myself a headband girl, but my hasty decision to cut blunt bangs awhile back has left me with a chunk of unruly hair that needs taming. Enter the headband. A wonderful way to keep the wispys at bay and achieve that stylish...
Tenoversix
I just discovered this store called TENOVERSIX and immediately found 3 things I want to buy. The coat is so chic and I love anything you can wear in the winter thats not black. Driving gloves have become a new obsession and have me shopping endless...
1 dress 365 days
I have often thought I could go a whole year only wearing dresses. Aside from jeans, I’m not very enthusiastic about pants in general, and dresses are a great way to look put together without much effort. But ONE dress everyday all year? Now th...
Kid dressing for adults
I dont know what it is about fall but as soon as the tempature drops I start wanting to dress like an 8-year old. Little cardigands mary janes, knee socks. Maybe its all the “Back to school” dressing that has been permenantly ingraine...
Dieppa Restrepo shoes
My boyfriend really likes to live on the edge when it comes to gift giving. When he was in Paris awhile back, he brought me back some treats from laduree (well that one is a sure fire bet with me) and a pair of shoes. Me, the girl with a wall of s...
Where the wild things are
12 days since my last post. Egads! I have no good excuse other than I have just fallen out of the habit. I hope not to go that long without a peep ever again. (I have also been very busy jewelry making, you can peruse the fruits of my labor here.) I ...
Natalie Portman at TFF
Dear Natalie, If you keep making such gorgeous fashion choices like the Lanvin frock you wore at the Toronto premiere of Love and Other Possible Pursuits, I will have to consider myself your style stalker. I mean, you are kind of asking for it by we...
Grey matter(s)
One of the things I love/hate about the fashion industry is the fact that colors are reintroduced with the same wild enthusiasm season after season. “go for sunny yellow this summer” “pink is so feminine!” or “gray is th...
Phonebook dress
I often wonder what the point of telephone books is these days. Here’s one fab idea by Jolis Paons… which reminds me: when is the “make clothes out of non fabric” episode of Project Runway? ...
Bees
Sometimes I spot a thing that I didn’t even know I was into but it just keeps following me around until I submit to liking it. But enough about my love life. Zing! For serious: I’m liking bees as a design icon recently and have been seein...
Mustard yellow
One of my favorites from the now defunct Domino magazine was “Can this outfit be turned into a room?” feature. I saw this great pic on The Sartorialist and was very inspired by this dude’s duds. The unique color combo is so chic, su...
Nautical things
Maybe it is because of my recent trip to The Mermaid Inn, but I’m really into nautical things recently. Along with everyone else, it seems. I wonder if this trend will ever go out of style. To me there is nothing more classic than a stripe...
Macarons
From the best macaron destination in Paris- Pierre Herme. Almost too pretty to eat. I’m ashamed to admit it, but I didn’t even make it to one of my favorite Paris destinations this time- Laduree. Though the macarons are worlds better, Pie...
Worishofer Sandals
Tonight while walking the dogs I found myself in an unusually good mood. This does not happen often since they are terrible on the leash and as many dog owners know, it often feels more like a chore than just getting some fresh air. I even *smiled* a...
Men’s fashion
Thought I’d share a men’s fashion story I styled recently with fashion photographer, Peter Rosa. The shoot is inspired by the classic feel of the Lower East Side with model Arthur K acting as a young DeNiro.. ...
The Statement Necklace- A New York fairytale
If you are a daily reader of this blog, well first off I just want to say: “Hi, Mom and Dad” and secondly, you probably read all about the importance of a statement necklace as it relates to your spring wardrobe. My mother, a well known f...
Six Must Haves for Spring
One of the many hats I wear is a personal shopper and wardrobe stylist. Since I am always in the process of cleaning out my closet and assessing what I really need, I thought I would share this list for Six Spring Must Haves with you. This year it...
The Coco Avant Chanel Trailer (Part Deux)
Some of you may remember my previous post about the Coco Chanel movie. I finally found an English translation of the French trailer. Well, sort of. The translation is done by a high school freshman in her second semester of French. Via Videogum. I ...
Silver flats
Last summer I wore my silver ballet flats to shreds. If the white house is any indication of fashion’s direction (amazing but true!) it looks as though they are emerging again, which is a sign that I’m either always ahead of my time or fa...
