Having seen countless photos of Margherita Missoni gallavanting around town of late, it’s nice to read a little more about her. Even better, it’s good to see her continue her design lineage with this pretty rose gold, silk and diamond bracelet which she has designed with jewelry designer Ileana Makri.

Having a cool hat to polish off a look is key to celeb style. Actually, perhaps it’s a combination of fashion and function (ie, paparazzi shielding) that make them so popular in Hollywood. In any case, every girl should have a couple of cute hats on deck to help counteract bad hair days and to accent her wardrobe. Eugenia Kim, hat designer extraordinaire, has been...

All of this means that we have to take money from our rainy-day funds and put them towards the things we need to actually survive (like dinner). And I hate to sound completely materialistic, but sometimes a girl just wants something pretty but it’s not...

I’m a big fan of light-weight scarves for Spring. They’re perfect for throwing on when there’s a slight chill in the air or once you hit the blaring A/C of certain department stores…and personally, if my neck is covered (even with bare arms), my body temp warms up a couple of ticks.

The name Coach may not fly off everyone’s tongue as pre-eminent handbag designers, but I’m a big fan of their merchandise (especially their planners and sunglasses). They also have very lovely window displays in their Manhattan shops, so I always try and walk by for a look-see every few weeks so I know what’s current.

If everything we choose to wear and carry as we leave the house is perfectly coordinated and chic, then shouldn’t our daily coffee cup fit that picture also? Cup Couture offers a variety of eco-friendly, reusable cupcoats for our hot beverages.
