« Previous EntriesNautical for 2008
Wednesday, March 19th, 2008Nautical designs are always in for spring, and why not? The whimsical motifs (anchors, sea shells, rope knots) are fun and fresh after a long winter of layered knits. As with any trend that cycles back in, it is always interesting to see just how designers update a tried and true trend. We’re enjoying these […]

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008We recently had an interesting query from a reader who wanted to know where she could get the crazy ballet stiletto heels Gwen Stefani is sporting on her recent V magazine cover:

The Look: Vanessa Hudgens Heels
Saturday, January 19th, 2008Ahhh, to be a young Hollywood debutante, constantly hounded by paparazzi as you try to get some darned shopping done. Alas, not all of us can be gorgeous, talented, and fashion-savvy all at the same time. So we’ll have to leave the starlet-ing to those more worthy, such as High School Musical star Vanessa […]

Monday, January 14th, 2008Apparently Chloe is over the ’80s trend and sliding straight into the ’90s with these high-fashion Tall Doc Booties.

The Look: Modern ’80s
Wednesday, January 9th, 2008Enjoying the ’80s trend that is still going strong? Looking for some fresh, flattering updates so you don’t feel like you just stepped into Pretty in Pink?

The Next Best Thing: Chloe Candbury Canvas Flats
Saturday, January 5th, 2008Even on half-price sale at Net-A-Porter, Chloe’s Candbury Canvas Flats (pictured left) might have too steep a pricetag for some ($232.50 down from $465). But they do suggest carefree days wrapped up in an ivory cardigan, traipsing from one casual New England social engagement to the next.
So how can you capture that same vibe for […]

SIGH.
I’m not even going to slap the price up, because it may cause a reader to have an aneurysm, and we can’t have that.
