Ever since Plum Sykes wrote Bergdorf Blondes and had McQueen design her ba-zillion dollar wedding gown, I’ve loved the British designer’s dramatic, almost gothic, designs. And while every Hollywood heiress-starlet-rock-star-girlfriend is rocking McQueen’s skull print scarf, I’ve fallen for his skull jacquard flats and pumps. Less mainstream than his sold-out-everywhere scarf, McQueen’s shoes add a splash […]

Because you’re not merely brains and business; you’re beautiful. And beautiful you knows that because the business professional dresscode gets more casual by the day, your superiors take you more seriously in a Vivienne Westwood Red Label wrap dress than your Dockers-khaki-pant-clad cohorts.

There has long been a myth that stripes — specifically, horizontal — are about as good for you as as shot of arsenic. This may true in some cases, but keep in mind these 3 guidelines, and you too can stripe it right.
1. Top-Heavy. Heavy stripes work best on the upper torso, especially if you’re endowed with a small bust […]

When it comes to favourite clothing designers; I’d call myself a classic — more Chanel than Calypso, more Missoni than Matthew Williamson — but, every once in a runway, there comes a designer whose clothing catches my eye and secures my every fashion sensibility.
Alice Temperley started Temperley London after gaining experience working — while still […]

Forget sarongs and terry-cloth sheaths that spell lack-luster non-style at best. You wouldn’t dare to bare your body in anything less than a sassy small swimsuit in Summer, so why settle for less when it comes to covering up?
While my wardrobe of swimsuits shys away from anything other than black or natural tones, this Pucci kaftan shouts chameleonic – wearing wonderful on […]

Watch any re-run of Dallas or Dynasty and you will see illustrated that when a suit isn’t tailored to a woman’s unique shape, everything goes wrong – including, but not limited to – accessories, hair, makeup, and relationships. Eighties or no Eighties; there is no excuse for not owning a tailored suit.
