  • Shopping: Milly Aspirin dot smock dress
    I love the color yellow and I always have, even before it was trendy (although I am not digging the supposed new trend of lemon yellow nailpolish … ick!). Anyway, chances are if you find a top, dress, bag, bracelet or sweater in a bright perky yellow, I will immediately want it. Which is exactly what happened when I saw this Milly Aspirin dot smock dress

  • The Hills’ Lauren Conrad: Spring 08 Collection
    I hate to admit it, but I’ve been slightly obsessed with watching The Hills on MTV for the past few seasons. Part of it is that there’s something about watching meaningless juvenile drama unfold that I find absolutely enjoyable and necessary. But the other part is I that I love seeing the great outfits the girls wear, and I look forward to getting glimpses of the...

  • Steep vs. Cheap: Cocktail Shorts
    This Spring/Summer, shorts won’t only be a staple with flip-flops for day at the beach, but a trendy alternative for hitting the town for cocktails at night. Some people might have problems with mixing casual attire with evening wear, but when paired with sexy sandals or stylish wedges and a cute loose-fitting button down or a drapey top, the new breed of shorts stand...

  • Some Things from the Past: Should be Left There!
    There were quite a few enjoyable things about the 80s. Duran Duran. Old-school Madonna. The Cure. There were also a lot of things that should be forgotten, such as shoulderpads, skull-print leggings from Intuition out in LA, it might make me feel better.

  • Shopping: Charlotte Ronson Cropped Jacket
    Leather bombers are making a come back in Hollywood, with all of the young celebs rockin’ them over jeans and t-shirts, or even, over more formal red carpet looks. While there’s the slight but scary chance of looking like an extra from an 80’s pop video (”Thriller” comes to mind), if you throw on the right one, you’ll be able to pull off an...

  • Shopping: Crepe Crochet Dress by Francine
    Like me, you might be a bit hesitant to give the sheer trend a go this Spring/Summer, (there is always the inherent risk of looking cheap or inappropriate with the wrong material or design). Also, some of us might still be fighting the old connotation that sheer garments are only decoys to cover up less-than-toned arms or other bodily misgivings.

  • Spring Key Pieces: ISSA Kimono Mini Dress
    Whenever Spring is almost in the air, we get drawn into shopping for light, breezy dresses that are easy to throw on and effortless to wear from day-to-night (maybe with a simple switch from flip flops to sandals). Now that it’s abundantly clear that bold prints and colours are must-haves for Spring/Summer 08, it’s time to fill that void in our closets (where a lot...

  • Shopping: Stella McCartney Baggy jodhpur style pants
    [Jodh•purs: Wide-hipped riding pants of heavy cloth, fitting tightly from knee to ankle]. Jodphurs, I must admit are a bit of a mystery to me. They look so good on others but on me…not so much. Thankfully, with the trend in full swing, designers are creating styles that are more wearable and less scary. These Net-a-porter
