There are times when paying $240 for a precious metal seems like a pretty good deal, but –
This is not one of them.
Pianegonda makes fancy jewelry, designed different to catch people’s eyes and capture their hearts.
And capturing hearts is probably what designers had in mind when they created the Lovesick Heart wraparound ring: All rhodium-plated sterling silver […]

Hope,
I’m looking for a versatile, classic pair of rainboots. I’m considering the original Hunter boots in chocolate brown, because they are simple and you can fit your jeans inside… any other suggestions?
Whitney
Darling, I’ve got suggestions like you wouldn’t believe! I looove rainboots, rubbers, wellies, — whatever you want to call them — and I am […]

Leather, especially patent, adds an element of excitement to a bag that I love. Patent leather can be flashy, and its sheen is eye-catching. But with a plethera of patent leather bags making the rounds this season on department store shelves everywhere, I’ve an eye for something more elegant, like ostrich.
Available at Saks, Nuti’s ostrich tote is […]

One mistake I find that women make is piling on waaay too many layers of gaudy jewelery. I mean, a dash of flash is fine, but layering lots of loud necklaces, rings, bracelets, — whatever — is just too much.
When it comes to layering necklaces, the simpler the necklaces the more sophisticated your final look will […]

There’s nothing better during dull winter days — and nights — than giving slushy sidewalks and snowy streets some competition. My motto is, don’t let the winter weather cause you wardrobe worriment; wear whatever footwear you love!
Work open-toes with the weather by pairing them with opaque tights, and don’t be afraid to rock boots with […]

Christian Lacroix makes a magnificent dress, whether featuring full-on ruffles, pintucks, or in this case, –
A loud multicolour print.
Possibly drawing from his background in art history, Lacroix beautifully mixes monochrome and sunshine yellow, printing pretty his adorable “Bon Bon” spring/summer strapless dress.
I love the ruching details around the bust, the practical pockets on each hip, and ruffled […]

More than I’d enjoy wearing Gucci’s “Newton” high heel booties, I like looking at them. Am I the only person who thinks they look like a piece of art, or something from the page-a-day shoe calendar?
Just look at that sleek patent black leather, joined so beautifully with a glossy gold (gooold!) back. Featuring a 4 […]

Generally speaking, when an article of clothing has the word ’smocked’ in it, I run in the opposite direction. Something smocked, to me at least, conjures up images of elastic-waistband pants, the 80s, and other really unappealing things.
That being said, James Perse makes a mean cotton anything; his designs are sooo comfortable, so easy to wear, […]

Mary jane pumps are about as iconic as Chanel No. 5 perfume. They’re a shoe that will never go out of style and that will never be out-dated.
So I love the look of these double buckle mary janes by Marc Jacobs. He’s a design god, so of course his shoes are absolutely amazing, and these pumps are […]

Hope,
I’m in the market to purchase a new winter coat, but I don’t want to buy black. Is charcoal a good color, or would I be better going with brown?
Robert
While you can’t go wrong with a black or brown peacoat, purchasing a coat in a charcoal shade is probably a more versatile option. You can pair charcoal […]

Talk about flash! The Kensington lady bag by Banana Republic offers some serious silver splash for spring — or any other time of year — that is absolutely attention-grabbing.
The bag is also available in black patent and red patent, but I love the look of shiny silver. And forget PVC or any other plastic packaging; this clutch […]

Back in 2005, he was named a designer to watch by WWD. Since then, Toronto-born designer Jay Godfrey has established rapport by dressing such celebrities as Eva Mendes, Jennifer Lopez, and Gabrielle Union. Neiman Marcus is one of three high-end department stores that retails his White Label collection.
Though several of his sheaths have caught my […]

J’Adore Dior: Fresh from my main man Dior’s spring footwear collection, these t-strap sandals are the perfect shoes for skipping into spring and summer. Like a piece of beautiful artwork, Dior’s t-strap sandals are easy to look at and full of intricate details. Made in Italy from crocodile-embossed leather, these sandals have plenty of hardware; […]

Blame it on the January thaw, but I am loving all things yellow. Could I be craving spring weather to slip into some of these vibrantly coloured clothes?
Obviously.
While lemon yellow doesn’t suit fair-skinned women, and butter yellow doesn’t wear well on raven-haired women, I’m convinced there is a shade of this sunshine-inspired colour out there […]

Oprah gave Toywatch a huge plug by naming it to her Favorite Things for 2007, but I definitely prefer a more timeless design like this MICHAEL Michael Kors bracelet watch to mark a stylish 2008.
Available in silver, gold, or — my personal pick — tortoise, this timepiece is all class. You’ll save squinting because the dial’s diameter measures 1 and […]
