Summer is the perfect time for styling a dress, and I find cotton/jersey blends to be both comfortable and chic. This bandeau style would be quite fitting for bargain shopping at a tourist-y farmers market or strolling beachside.
When I first saw this bandeau dress by Splendid, I knew it would be completely comfortable. The brainchild of Moise Emquies — a […]

The great thing about a woven tote is that whether made from plastic or the softest nappa leather, it looks classy. I’m loving both of these over-sized totes by Bottega Veneta and Banana Republic — from rich brown colouring to spacious interiors, either tote is worthy to be carried.
Bottega Veneta – a design house famous for styling […]

Speed Racer stripes!
Christina Ricci is definitely not the first person who comes to my mind when I think of style icons, but like most actresses in Hollywood, there are certain pieces of clothing she wears that I’d wear, too.
Check out her J.Crew striped kelly jacket. It’s a classic box cut, with three-quarter sleeves, a three-button front, and a chic crewneck. […]

The boyfriend blazer is back.
OK, I’ll admit, the boyfriend blazer was back last summer, but it took a year for the style to grow on me.
Like other menswear-inspired pieces, these blazers wear large, hang below the hips, and look effortlessly elegant when juxtaposed with the ultra-feminine.
Worn over a silk dress, or over a poet-style blouse paired […]

Spring 2008 collections are full of different interpretations of the classic trench. Some of my favourites are coloured neutral — no surprise there — but others, like this See by Chloe trench, are super bright.
An easy attention-getter, this See by Chloé trench coat is a classic trench with some modern twists. I love the figure-flattering double-breasted front. The beautiful linen/cotton blend […]

This dress design is an ode to summer – meant to look like the sky — and I’d say the blue and frothy print of this Zac Posen creation even resembles the sea.
I remember thinking when Agyness Deyn strutted down the runway in this sheath that the colour would have popped so much more effectively if she still had […]

Save the colour, don’t these two cardis look similar? You’ve got to love Victoria’s Secret for their spot-on style. What their products lack in quality, they make up for with bargain pricing. On the opposing side, Theory makes a high-quality garment, but — like anything in life, — quality will cost you.
What I love about this Theory […]

Who doesn’t love a bargain?
Check out these gorgeous leather and croc-embossed pumps by MICHAEL Michael Kors.
Marked down for less than half the price, these MICHAEL Michael Kors pumps are coloured a shade of olive so deep that at first glance they look black or brown.
Besides the classic rounded toe and the perfectly proportioned heel, I love the […]

Many style statements from the 1980s have made comebacks in recent years — oversized clutches, wasp waists, –
White denim.
Made classic by J.Crew, I’m loving these white denim matchstick jeans. With a leg that’s not straight but not skinny, a comfortable rise, and perhaps the most figure-flattering back pockets EVER – these jeans have a super-stylish silhouette.
White denim is […]

Hope,
What are the latest trends in leather jackets?
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 […]

Though there’s no doubt that I absolutely adore MK and Ashley Olsen — well, more Ashley than MK, but that’s another matter — I’ve yet to find a piece from their Elizabeth and James line that I really love. There are dresses I almost like, skirts I might wear, and jackets like this one.
This Elizabeth […]

A deep v-neck halter is a stylish alternative to a plain tank for summer 2008.
Wide leg pants were all over the spring 2008 runways.
Tribal-inspired prints are totally on-trend.
So, because the above three sentences are true, does that mean this Antik Batik turel halter jumpsuit is really hot?

It’s taken almost 14 years, but me thinks Consuelo Castiglioni — the designer behind Marni — has perfected her craft.
Check the evidence.
Marni’s patent shoulder bag, a vivid, vibrant green, is the epitome of artistic accoutrements. Does this not look like something you’d find at a modern art gallery? Pure patent leather has never looked so structured. […]

Besides colour-blocking, the 2008 spring/summer season sees a lot of bright colours paired with understated neutrals. With a few neutral pieces acting as staples in your wardrobe, styling classic chic has never been so easy!
This colour-blocked skirt by Banana Republic is an essential A-line style. Coloured deep carob brown with a thick white band around the hem, […]

It’s April Fools Day, darlings, but there’s no fooling around here: Cut-out spectator pumps are spot-on style for this spring and summer.
We’ve seen the spectator evolve from closed to peep-toe, from soft-grained leather to shiny patent, –
And cut-outs are the latest twist.
I’m loving several styles by Linea Paolo, available in fresh colours like lilac and […]
