« 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 […]

Monday, March 10th, 2008With Hilary Duff swathed in hot pink and bright orange on the cover of this month’s Lucky magazine and Catherine Zeta-Jones pretty in pink Cavalli at the Sydney opening of her new film Death Defying Acts, I think it is safe to say that hot pink, and all of its sweet sister colors (bright orange, […]

Fashion Travesty: Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008Now I for one have never understood Chloe Sevigny’s status as a fashion icon. And this is not because I am an uptight magazine editor–I was in college and living in the East Village at the end of the Club Kid era and have worn (and worked) plenty of platform shoes and glitter face paint. […]
Trend Alert: Variegated Ombre Color
Friday, January 25th, 2008I remember making friendship bracelets when I was younger. I was prolific, could do chevrons, French twists, you name it. I even had a little side business making them for my fellow junior high peers. The primary component of a friendship bracelet is embroidery floss, and I would have great fun poring over the rainbow […]

Lighten Up! Makeup for Spring
Thursday, January 17th, 2008Here’s the deal: You need to experiment with colored eye shadow. O.K.? I said it, and I feel better about things. The saturation of pigments and the level that they can pulverize the color components in eye shadow is way higher than the last time you tried blue eye shadow (I won’t say when). If […]

Hmmm…What Do You Think?
Monday, January 14th, 2008I’m attempting to discern how to type the sound I’m thinking in my head. “Eeerrrrng”? “Mmmmphahhhh”? These are the internal noises that are churning in my mind as I look at the new cover of W magazine, featuring one of my favorite actresses, Keira Knightley. Now I’ve been known to have violent physical reactions, followed […]

High Fashion Meets Seattle Grunge
Monday, January 14th, 2008Apparently Chloe is over the ’80s trend and sliding straight into the ’90s with these high-fashion Tall Doc Booties. First reaction is a little iffy, but the more I think about them, the more I know the right girl could rock these! Now on mega sale at Intermix ($329 down from $1105).
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?
