Never failing to disappoint, the Kyoto Costume Institute delivers a perfectly catalogued history of clothing from the 18th century through the 20th century in Fashion.
Full-coloured glossy photos featuring designer and construction details round out this 2-volume set of corsets, dresses, head-coverings, and stockings.
It’s the evolution of apparel, and it’s clearly inspiration for any aspiring designer.

I am all about staying warm when cool cumulonimbus clouds roll in, signifying that soon snow will fly and sun will be sent South for vacation.
These elbow-length gloves by Portolano are a mix of practicality and perfection, keeping my hands — and arms — warm while dressing me with the softest of style. Like I’m […]

I’ve found already this season that many women are sticking to grey and black because they’re too afraid to wear jewel-tones and patent. Not necessarily a problem, but who wants to see every other person wearing “it” colour grey all the time?
If you’re too shy for patents’ pizazz, purchase a piece in a darker hue that’s glossy […]

What is it with celebrities suddenly becoming jacks of all trades? Actors, singers, models, perfumers, clothing designers – I can only imagine what will come next.
When Sean “P. Diddy” Combs launched his signature clothing line back in 1998, a tidal wave of multi-tasking celebrities was about to crash. Whether it’s the money, the added […]

The first thing that caught my eye about this Pucci sheath is that it is incredibly unique and unlike anything the fashion house has ever created before. (Perhaps Matthew Williamson being at the design helm has pumped some fresh blood into their creations.)
I’m totally enamoured with this sequined mini dress, and not just because it’s […]

Some ride down the calf, some sport over the knee, and some strike the balance of a classic riding boot.
Cuffed boots are everywhere this fall and winter — and these are just a few of the pairs to wear – from flat soles to chunky heels to towering wedges.

One word: VERSATILITY.
I’m all about the two-in-one-look-it’s-a-shoulder-bag-now-it’s-a-clutch.
Miuccia Prada illustrates versatility at its best with this aged leather clutch.
Beautiful beige blends well day or night, and the removable shoulder strap allows you to opt for hands-free or hands-on.
Though I’m sure you’ll choose the later.

From age to age, leather has proved itself to be a classic element in every person’s wardrobe. What do I love about the cropped leather jacket? Several things. It makes a bold statement; it dresses up or down; it is perhaps the only piece of wardrobe practicality.
And while not every woman can afford to splurge […]

First pink was the new black, then brown, then black came back as the new black, and now for fall it looks as though cobalt blue will be making an appearance.
Like with these knee-high, fur-trimmed, luxe lug-soled boots from Marc Jacobs.
Sure, at first glance they look like something out of a Beyoncé video. But look a […]

Sure, it’s already arm-candy to Rachel-Kate-Lindsay-Lohan-Bilson-Bosworth, but who doesn’t absolutely adore Zac Posen’s abbey satchel?
So perfectly chic with its sturdy shape and smooth-grained leather.
So perfectly ergonomical with its flat (read: comfortable) shoulder straps and flat leather bottom (read: durable).
So perfectly groomed for fall/winter 07/08 with its subtle patent details and GOOOOLD! hardware.
