In the Mix

Givenchy Pansy Print Clutch. Get a similar one here. See this Christopher Kane leopard-print clutch. Photo by Tommy Ton Some of the wildest prints out in the fashion jungle come straight from mother nature. And from Paris.

Dispelling the Myth: Wearing White after LD

With the official end of summer just around the corner, it’s like somebody just ripped that bikini right off my body. Do I have to pick up my body off the beach, send the kids back to school, get back to work? Yes. Pack up those summer whites? NO. Today... Read More

Love Letters

The emblematic monograms that have been spotted on sweaters, shirts, necks, ears, and other body parts are Fall’s playful nod to collegiate culture. When the initial in question, is splattered all over oneself, it invites the viewer to get to know you on a first-name basis. At first, when I... Read More

The Gold Medal

On Day 12, we are more than halfway through the Olympic Games, but the excitement is not waning.

Sneak-err

I was never one to get on the running-sneaker-as-fashion bandwagon as I actually was Melanie Griffith’s character in Working Girl back in the late 80’s when I commuted back and forth to my office. As soon as I exited that door, those heels were swapped out for kicks, a quick... Read More
