  • Red Carpet: Goodbye Gowns?
    Is it the demise of the gown? Big-time fashion and film events like the Oscars, Golden Globes, the Met gala and now Cannes have made gowns an almost de rigueur fashion choice for all of the A-listers present. Yet recently, some ladies have dared to be different and have sported ultra-glam dresses that show more than a little leg.

  • Menswear Looks - From The Men’s Department
    For hot summer style, try subtly inspired menswear looks: pair light, airy sundresses with a cropped tuxedo jacket, or loose pinstripe trousers with a chiffon blouse with ultra-feminine detailing. As guys are cut differently than most of us gals,it’s unfortunately not so easy to raid your boyfriend’s closet (though, this shouldn’t necessarily be discounted as an...

  • Handbag Serendipity!
    Serendipity, as defined by dictionary.com, is “an aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident,” or “good fortune; luck.” Well, I have to say I had quite a bit of both aptitude and good fortune a while ago

  • Jeweler Extraordinaire: Helen Ficalora
    I often find myself overlooking jewelry as a shopping choice. I look at it, quite a bit, but when it comes to actually purchasing something, the instances are few and far between. Most of the jewelry I own I have received as a gift (although there are a few exceptions where I have treated myself!). I think that this may change since I discovered Helen Ficalora.

  • Sale Alerts: Hurry!
    Economic hard times, say what? If you hadn’t noticed, the news abounds with negative information about the economy. But on the bright side (and I’m not trying to be flip), lots of our favourite retailers are having ginormous sales a bit earlier in the season than usual, giving us the chance to pick up a lot of fabulous merch at a discount!

  • The Nautical Look: Trend or Staple?
    Every year at around this time I see four or five articles exclaiming over the nautical trend of this summer. It’s hard not to think beachy, oceanic thoughts when the weather is warm and sunny out and the summer holidays are fast approaching … but I repeat, I see this every year—so at what point does a trend became a wardrobe staple that simply goes into hibernation...

  • Trend Alert: Initial Jewelry
    I grew up in Connecticut and went to prep school, and went to University at a small place in New England. I offer up this information because I’m kind of a preppy girl. Not super preppy, but I loves me some J. Crew, and I have a minor addiction to anything monogrammed with my initials. I try not to go overboard, but I’m loving the fact that wearing your initials,...
