I’m trying to decide which animal I’d like to wear more: Fox or mink (in the form of a fur coat, of course.)
 
I came across this adorable fox and chiffon coat, discounted at Saks, featuring rows of said materials. I’m especially loving the jeweled neck and sweet short sleeves. Talk about attention to detail — this is […]

To be blunt, there are few men I know — who aren’t gay — who would take this book and actually use it as a style dictionary; there are many men I know who need to do just that.
Mr Classic, which also could be titled How A Woman Wants Her Man to Dress, is the […]

There are things in life that you like; things that you love; things that you couldn’t live without.
There are things that you wear to keep up with trends; things you wear to look good; things you wear to feel good.
And then there are those signature things you own that make a statement.
Case in point?
This pendant from Tiffany […]

It’s ironic how someone so eccentric can design dresses so classic and elegant, but it just proves that fashion truly is Betsey Johnson’s forte. Her awareness of self is so obvious in each of her creations; she doesn’t follow trends or design clothing that’s stylish for 5 seconds or less. She designs what she loves, […]

Is it a trench? Is it a peacoat?
It’s a Marc by my genius Marc Jacobs ottoman coat!
The term ‘ottoman’ refers to a heavy-duty fabric with a corded texture, which is typically used to trim clothing, but it also works well as a durable material.
This Marc by Marc Jacobs ottoman coat is both heavy-duty and durable; […]

Happy Cyber Monday, ladies!
I do hope you’re all searching out only the best in online holiday sales; I’d love to hear what designer deals you’ve found.
I frequently get emails about designer clothing or products that readers want to know where to find or how to wear, so I thought it only appropriate to create a […]

Call me a traditionalist, or a Scot, but I looove plaid. I don’t refer to the once-trendy Catholic school girl confection, worn circa 1995 (READ: Alicia Silverstone in Clueless), but rather a classic plaid set in wool that wears well for more than 5 minutes.
Imagine my surprise coming across a plaid jacket in a classic colour and shape […]

Clothing by Chloé is classic, with just the right dash of modernity thrown in for style’s sake. Designer Paulo Melim Andersson blends easy and elegant so well; he has a way of creating beautiful lines with even the most loose and flowy fabrics.
I can just picture a modern-day Katherine Hepburn wearing any of the fashion houses designs, like these […]

So Oprah features her 2007 Favourite Things List on-air today and suddenly stores everywhere are featuring TOYWATCH watches as their hottest item; is there any doubt that these time pieces will be best-sellers, if for no other reason than O’s PR plug?
After looking through the entire TOYWATCH watch collection at Nordstrom’s online boutique, I’ve chosen this […]

Many people aren’t familiar with Alexandra Neel — does no one remember the corset boot from her Fall 2002 collection? [see photo below on the right] – the designer who honed her skills at Celine and Balenciaga before embarking on her own creative expedition, but I’ve recently developed a love for her elegant, ballerina-inspired footwear.
Case in point? Check […]

I’ve always been a fan of Target — quality finds at cheap prices — and when they started selling designer names with their “International Flights of Fashion” GO Collection, my wardrobe started growing. Today, my closet is full of staple pieces from some of my favourite now-famous designers.
So how did it all start? When did luxurious selections from […]

I’m not the world’s most wonderful ‘going green’ advocate, and I don’t drive a hybrid.
I don’t turn green with envy over other girls and their too trendy wardrobes.
BUT, I do adore the colour green, so it’s fitting these Gucci pumps caught my (green) eyes.
All sugary sweet patent leather stuck on a 3 3/4 inch heel, I’m having visions […]

Finding anything Etro for less than $100, in my opinion, is both a rarity and a deal (not to mention a perfect companion for your winter coat). Don’t believe me? Read on. 
1. Etro’s Italian quality workmanship is top-notch. A scarf by Etro is a scarf you’ll own and want to wear for years to come.
2. An Etro scarf styling is […]

It’s easy to over-do an otherwise elegant ensemble with too much flash — think concert-costumed JLo, or everyday Beyonce — so I’d let this Jimmy Choo crystal clutch carry my look.
Black satin ravished with jet crystals, this Jimmy Choo clutch is Bling with a capital B. I love the complete versatility of a removable chain-link handle and […]
