Leave it to me to perpetually abandon my website, and then to come back with this. Baha! Call it filler, call it what you will, but sweetest Lauren (aka Fashion Kitty), has tagged me for another fun — albeit silly — blog questionnaire. Even though most of you probably know the answers, I won’t be the one to break […]

I am looking to buy a Tiffany cut out heart ring sterling silver in a size 8. They have discontinued it — any suggestions?
Tiffany’s original Cutout heart ring in sterling silver is currently available on the Tiffany website — though not in a size 8.
I’ve a feeling what you’re after is actually Tiffany’s Open Heart ring, designed by […]

Always a classic, the leather jacket has made quite a comeback this season. Worn with everything from skinny jeans to floral dresses, the leather jacket is an essential item for every woman’s wardrobe.
I’m not all about trendy ruching and ruffles; if you purchase a clean-cut leather coat, I […]

Hope,
I need to find some stylish shorts for this summer. Can you tell me some lengths and styles that would work for someone 5′ 5″ or shorter? Thanks for your help! 
Blame it on my alabaster complexion, but I’ve always sworn by bermuda shorts when warmer weather starts. This summer, though, I’m so loving the wide variety of shorter shorts that I […]

How do you feel about penny loafers? There’s a really cute pair on page 229 of March’s Lucky magazine. I love the whole men’s/schoolboy look, but what would you pair them with to avoid looking like an elementary-ed teacher?
I feel like penny loafers haven’t been done right since 1995 when Alicia Silverstone rocked them in […]

I think jean jackets are coming back! What are your choices for a moderate budget?
Crystal
Like every quality piece of outerwear, a denim jacket can cost you. While I’m not totally sold on the classic denim jacket coming back into trend, I do think denim is a versatile alternative to a khaki blazer.

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?

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 […]

I was wondering if you knew where to find the little black dress Tila Tequila wore on the season finale of “Shot at Love”?
Perla

Tila’s exact dress is hard to find, though I have found some alternatives that I think you’ll like.
If your budget allows, head over to eLUXURY and purchase Zac Posen’s ‘Runway Nationale’ dress. […]

You’re right. Revue’s […]
