There’s a reason why the wrap dress has been a closet staple ever since Diane von Furstenberg introduced the style in the 70s. It’s easy to wear, you can pile on the accessories, and you can wear it almost anywhere. Truth be told, I wore this outfit last month and hadn’t had a chance to […]
Hello from Detroit! I’m visiting my sister here in Michigan, which means indulging in red wine, face masks, and talk of Paul Hollywood’s kneading expertise (if you watch the British Bake-Off and are even remotely attracted to men, you’ll know what I’m talking about). But it’s also February, which means that Fashion Month is still […]
In light of Brexit, what IS British style today and where is it going? Beats me. All I can say as a bystander (and direct product of British involvement in globalization, thanks King George ) is that the question of British identity was a loaded one this week. The tension between the political, social, and […]
The weather has been playing with my mood. We’ve had rain, and lots of it. As a through-and-through Californian, the rain brings me so much joy after years of drought. It also brings with it a lush sort of earthiness that is only intensified by the contrasting days of intermittent, spring-like sunshine. I can’t decide […]
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 […]
The big question for every fashion week is “where the hell are we going from here?” It’s a question that is always dictated by the social climate at the time, and this year was no exception. Especially with how we view women under such scrutiny and back and forth – we’ve had Lean In, Me […]
Yes, I said it. My Berkeley-loving, hippie, free-speech touting heart is gleeful that tie-dye is back on the menu, and not only at the Telegraph Avenue street vendors. And I’m also giving myself a huge and not entirely deserved pat on the back, because we shot this look before designers like Kim Shui showed their […]
How I fell in love with a graphic oversized sweater, I’ll never be quite sure. I usually shy away from anything oversized, being only 5″1′. But whether it was the color, the richness of the knit, the surprise slits in the sleeves, or my brain riding the wave of the collective unconscious, the point of […]
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? […]
Happy Friday! We made it, friends! Today’s post is inspired by a mood – in fact, it’s really my predominant mood – that feeling of being in a warm, lush setting, with citrus and greenery and old buildings and water. That feeling that going barefoot is just as indulgent as wearing heels, and that fabrics […]
