New Colors, New Collar for Everlane
Blah, blah, blah, we all know I love Everlane’s silk shirts (a creature of habit, I am). In addition to a new line of sweaters and a new line of wallets, Everlane introduces four new colors, as well as a new pointed collar. I love all of them, but Truffle and Dusk are catching my […]
Fall Staple: The Leather Skirt
High-waisted, pencil, A-line, midi, mini–this fall, we’re loving it all. In leather, that is. We’ve already established that leather details are in this season (as if they were ever really out), and while the leather coat is a timeless staple, this season, it’s all about the leather skirt. A soft, supple, yet sturdy leather skirt […]
London Fashion Week: Flowers and Other Shocking Spring Trends
In the time between New York Fashion Week and Milan Fashion Week, we have this thing called London Fashion Week. It’s a brief five days of stories about powerhouses like Burberry, with the obligatory references to accessible brands like Topshop and the occasional shoutout to high-street fashion brands like Whistles. But it’s a blink-and-you-miss-it affair. […]
I’m Loving: UK Brand Whistles
A minimalist UK brand that has the aesthetic of Zara (albeit pricier–few brands beat Zara’s look-for-less quality/value) and free shipping to the U.S.? I’m totally down with that. The brand caught my eye with that “feminin” french sweater, which I was able to get my hands on right before it sold out (thanks for the birthday […]
Ribbed Knitwear: Another Thing You Need
As I head off to Michigan tonight for some family time, I can’t help but smile as I look at the weather forecast, which predicts cooler temperatures just for this weekend. It’s 93 degrees in southeast Michigan as I write this, but they know I’m coming, and they know I’m packing my rolling bag with […]
Things I’m Craving This Fall: Green, Moto, Leather, and Cutout
It’s still hot as Hell in SoCal, so I’m actually just craving temperatures that allow me to be fully clothed. Not the ideal atmosphere for a girl who’s addicted to sweaters. But cool weather or not, here are the things I’m eyeing as we head into my favorite season. 1. Dark Green Fall’s color palette […]
I’m Loving: Orange Details (And Neon Lips!)
The coral trend of seasons past has gone one step further, entering orangey-red (OK, sometimes all-out orange) territory. This was evident in the neon lips that were all over the runways at New York Fashion Week. And I love it. I have pale skin, and bright colors can sometimes wash me out. But the orange-red […]
It’s a Plaid, Plaid, Plaid World
(I bet I’m totally the first person to use that wordplay, right?) Tartan plaid is doing its best to edge out Spring’s windowpane trend for Fall, but I think the two can share the season. Plaid is something I saw enough of as a kid (I had a kilt!), and now I’m falling in love with […]
Kate Spade Spring/Summer 2014: Retro Chic, as Always
Kate Spade has this magical ability to make you desperately want to transport to 1963 despite the racial tension, sexual politics, and likelihood of you being a housewife. She makes you want to buy a large sunhat and host a garden party a la some chic Hamptons affair on the tiny balcony of your one-bedroom […]
Pale Pink is the New Mint
I know everyone keeps talking up white (and judging from New York Fashion Week, that isn’t likely to change for Spring), but I’m more interested in the powder puff pink that’s stepping out this season. As predicted on the runways in January, pale pink coats, sweaters, trousers, and loafers are evidence that this Fall everyone’s […]
