I realized that I have been posting a lot of women’s fashions lately and haven’t given my male readers much love. Here’s a little masculine inspiration that I’m sure many women will also enjoy. How beautiful maleness is, if it finds its right expression. – D.H. Lawrence Michael Caine via Other Wordly Photo by Idha Lindhag […]
It seems like every time I turn around one of my friends is announcing a pregnancy. I’m beginning to think there might be something in the water. It’s good to know that they’ll have lots of fashion options to keep them chic with Hatch Collection. Even celebrities love the wear before, during, and after baby […]
It’s been raining for four days in New York which reminded me that I need a new trench coat. Normally I would pull out my beloved Gryphon trench but it looks like it’s finally time for it to be retired. I also have a lovely trench with a fur collar from Barney’s private label but […]
When I walking to Bergdorf Goodman in a snowstorm in 2004 to have Mrs. Herrera sign a copy of her book Carolina Herrera for me, never in my wildest dreams could I ever imagine I would be giving her a signed copy of my book ten years alter. But that’s exactly what happened today when […]
Now that I have the dates of my summer sojourn to Paris planned, I’m already thinking about what I am going to pack. I will be away for four months and will have to be prepared for a temperature fluctuation from around 50 degrees to possibly 80 degrees or more, especially as I travel to […]
I was thinking about how to lighten up my wardrobe for spring while staying warm in the cold weather. Adding white accents to my grey pieces seems to be the ticket. Hopefully this will inspire you as well. All images via tumblr
The word luxury is bandied about so much that it’s started to lose its meaning. If there is one house that still typifies the word luxury, it’s Hermès. It’s also synonymous with quality and craftsmanship. While the Birkin bag may now be ubiquitous, the clothing will always hold down the fort on quiet yet interesting designs. Hermès unveiled […]
Long time readers will remember my aversion to pink. Well, this awful winter has left even me longing for the cheerful affect of a little color. I actually fell in love with a pink jacket from J.Crew when I saw it at their presentation last year. It turned out to be a very expensive Collection […]
The best part of spring, besides the warmer weather, are all the new shows and exhibitions that are opening. One of the chicest is Dries Van Noten: Inspirations at Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris on view until 31 August 2014.The first exhibition devoted to the Belgian designer “takes us on an intimate journey into his […]
It’s currently 10 degrees in New York right now. That’s Fahrenheit not Celsius. It feels like it’s never going to warm up but maybe if I start buying more spring clothes it will come. As usual, I’m loving all the options from Emerson Fry. Although I saw a lot of girls wearing white jeans during […]
I’ve seen fashion designer Jeanne Lanvin’s former apartment in the Musée des Arts Decoratifs but I didn’t realize her office had also been preserved for posterity. Lanvin has opened the usually closed off space in honor of the house’s 125th anniversary. As you can see, it hasn’t changed much since she was painted in it by Edouard Vuillard […]
I’ve been hearing about the new line Trademark for a few weeks but finally checked out their website today. I’m impressed by the initial collection from sisters Alexandra and Louisa Burch which was inspired by American minimalist design. The look is a mix of chic but not boring basics that are reasonably priced with the […]
You could tell something was up at the Hugo Boss by Jason Wu show today based on the front row. Diane Kruger, Reese Witherspoon, and Gwyneth Paltrow (photo by @bagsnob) were just down the row from Gerard Butler and Scott Eastwood. The clothes that came down the runway won’t just appeal to celebrities though. They […]
It’s so cold that there really isn’t much to do but stay in and watch television. If that’s your plan, I suggest checking out The Fashion Fund on Ovation. The six episode documentary follows the Vogue CFDA Fashion Fund 2013 applicants from the process of applying to the 10 finalists competing for the coveted top […]
I’m not keen on names that are random phrases but since & Other Stories is an off shoot of H&M, it probably doesn’t matter. What does matter is that blogger Garance Dore recently photographer street style star Giorgia Tordini and her sister Giulia in their winter collection in Stockholm, Sweden. The clothes look quite chic […]
I always think of HATCH for their maternity wear but after visiting their pop up shop on Howard Street, I realize it’s not just for moms. At the press breakfast, both my friend Alice Ryan and Serena Dugan of Serena & Lily were wearing a navy silk jumpsuit that looked like it was from a […]
One of my readers asked me where to find the ivory cableknit sweater in my November post and I realized that I forgot to credit Emeron Fry. While I on their site looking for the link to send her, I noticed some lovely new images for fall/winter 2013. As you know, I love fashion shoots […]
