Dolce and Gabbana looked to the Sicily of old for their inspiration for their Fall/Winter 2010 Menswear collection. I loved the collection, but my favorite element? The fisherman-style cap they put on many of their models. Celebs are picking up on this trend as well – for example, Kellan Lutz was [...]

While I may be a ripe old 25 years of age, I always relish ways to revisit my past and that’s exactly what my new pair of Bunny Slippers does. I just got these slippers and seriously don’t think i’ve taken them off in my apartment since. It brings back the good old days when [...]

It’s true. Lu Wei Kang, a Beijing native, has begun a collection of Barbie dolls modeled after the singer, each reflecting one of her attention-getting outfits. Although they are not available for sale as of yet, he would like to produce enough so that he can sell them to fans – [...]

This Spring there is one animal prominently placed in advertisements of large fashion houses — birds. We’re not sure what it is, but two big ads by Bulgari and Louis Vuitton prominently feature the flying friends. Personally, I love Julianne Moore’s ad for Bulgari. The cockatoos help bring about an exotic vibe that the line [...]

This season in New York, Bebe showed a line designed by sisters Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe Kardashian. These sexy clothes are the basis of what Bebe hopes will be a turnaround in the brand’s fortunes, and it seems to be working – the line sold so quickly online and in stores that [...]

Yesterday was the British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards, and the ladies didn’t fail us on the red carpet. Here are a few of our favorite looks.

One of my favorite leading ladies Kate Winslet looked amazing in this Stella McCartney dress. Love the cut-outs on her, which will continue to be a huge [...]

Marc Jacobs filled his Fashion Week runway show with beautiful, ladylike clothes done predominantly in shades of gray (which happens to be one of my favorite colors). The menswear look is still hot, as Jacobs mixes several of his skirts and dresses with blazers and other fitted tops, while his pieces seemed [...]

Each red carpet this season seems dominated by one question: what will Lady Gaga be wearing? At the Brit Awards, which took place February 16, she did not disappoint. Wearing a beehive that channeled Marie Antoinette and a tiered dress that covered her entire body, this was one of the [...]

I love ballet flats all year round and just came across a brand I’m dying to share with you. Lindsay Phillips has a line of ballet flats that are so versatile that you can change them up to make them just right for any outfit. The toe of each flat has an embellishment — ranging [...]

She’s gaining renown as a designer in her own right (celebrities are often pictured out in her dresses, and Jennifer Hudson even wore one of her designs to the Grammys), so when Victoria Beckham presented her Fall 2010 collection at New York Fashion Week on February 14th it is no surprise she got [...]

Any woman knows that pain is beauty. From a young age we’re taught to pluck, wax, minimize and perfect. Well, now my pretties, men will be getting in on the fun. Spanx, which has been holding in celebrities and regular women for years, has just released a line for men! These “compression” tshirts and [...]

British model Agnes Deyn fell twice on the runway of Naomi Campbell’s Fashion for Relief show, benefiting Haiti. We gotta give her credit for getting up and laughing it off… twice!

This morning Diane von Furstenberg premiered her much-anticipated fall fashion show for New York fashion week and a theme ran through the production — sultry, feminine designs with male touches. The designer mixed tailored jackets over flowy dresses, structures suit jackets with feminine embellishments, pinstripes — basically classic male pieces tailored to a woman’s body. [...]

I love the feel of hoodies, but can’t really bring myself to wear them out. That’s why i’m obsessed as of late with sweatshirt blazers. They have the comfy feel of your favorite hoody, but are formal looking and form fitting. The one shown is by Ronny Kobo and is available at Intermix.

So on this snowy New York day in the dead of winter I find it appropriate to tell you my vampire skin story. My friends and I are usually tan all year round, not being able to stand the look of paleness. However, last year after reading a report saying fake tanning is as deadly [...]

Grammy goddess Taylor Swift has been spotted around town with Hobo International’s Trinity purse, and she likes it so much she has it in two colors: Saffron (pictured) and a darker aubergine. I love the size of the bag and the fact that it’s a statement color. Better yet, the bag retails for just $338! [...]
