Something about Versace has always resonated with me. Maybe because I grew up in the 90s, or because it taps into the Latin part of me, or because a trip to Rome as a preteen primed my fashion brain to love anything loud and baroque. Even so, the Versace Resort 2020 lookbook caught my eye […]
I am quickly falling in love with Guo Pei, and I hope by the end of this, you will be too. I touched briefly on this collection in this post, but it really deserves more coverage than that. So join me in a deep dive into why her show was ahhh-maz-ing. If you want a […]
… and affordable (ish) ways to get your cute paws on their pieces ASAP. Watch your back Amur, there’s a new sustainable luxury diva in town. OK, so she’s not really new – Mother of Pearl, today’s spotlight brand, was actually founded in 2002. But hey, it’s new to me and (maybe) new to you, […]
Confession: I know it’s the eve of the Fourth of July and all, but I feel like a bad Portuguese person. Ok, maybe bad is overkill / perhaps just underwhelming. You see, June 10th was Portugal Day, the official holiday to celebrate Portugal, the Portuguese language, and Portuguese people around the globe. There’s a huge […]
We can all agree that sustainability and ethics need to take a larger role in the fashion industry. To be honest, I know I say that we can “all agree” on this, knowing full well that some people genuinely believe that the world is flat despite being confronted with all the evidence #America2019. But saying […]
One of the joys of blogging about fashion is the discovery of new designers – or at least ones that are new to me. Each designer represents a different worldview, and they invite us to slip in and out of their universe every time we choose to wear one of their designs. One of my […]
By now, this is old news. Karl Lagerfeld died last month at 85 years old (plus or minus), and everyone went bonkers. A deluge of articles and lists of iconic Karl moments hit the press and social media, most done in a worshipful tone and a few with the attitude of “good riddance.” So what’s […]
As I wrote Friday’s post on New York Fashion Week, I had planned on including the Marc Jacobs show under the “head on” section. I had gone through the runway photos and thought about the boxy silhouettes and dark lighting and initially was feeling ambivalent about it. The clothes looked like walking walls in some […]
Happy Monday! Fashion Month – the marathon of New York, London, Milan, and Paris Fashion Weeks, one right after the other – begins on Thursday. So what better to get in the mood – and get educated – for all the mayhem than pulling on your super stylish footie pajamas and watching a fashion documentary? […]
The alternate title was “My Butt Loves Reformation and Yours Should Too,” so I’m giving myself pats on the back for self restraint. I’ve been wanting to change up my silhouette lately. We’ve been doing skinny jeans for a long time now – if I remember correctly, I made the switch from the good old bootcut to skinny jeans in 2008 or so. More than ten years of calf-squeezing! I do love a good skinny jean. […]
