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 […]

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; […]

100% silk in a playful leopard print, this Dolce & Gabbana blouse is beautiful.
I love the balloon sleeves paired with a flowing body, and how the blouse is semi-sheer to reveal whatever you happen to be wearing (or not) underneath. Side slits add versatility, so you can leave the shirt out or tuck it in.
The button down placket […]

Hope:
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. […]

What I love about sash-waisted belts is their versatility — they provide women with a way to cinch their waists or accentuate their hips — and no matter how sash-waisted belts are worn, they always look classic.
Michael Kors’ woven belt is beautiful — albeit pricey — and available in a dark brown or metallic gold […]

Until now, I never thought I’d have a desire to own a rain coat. But like each of his designs for fashion house Bottega Veneta, Tomas Maier has taken something average and infused in it a chic sensibility.This classic coat is all silk and ruched with a bubble hem. Who knew a rain coat could be so luxurious?
I love how the […]

Picture this: Links of cognac-coloured mink and python, stripped together almost seamlessly to form a classic clutch.
The Marc Jacobs ‘Monica’ clutch is constructed to have a vintage effect. Like most of his handbags, MJ’s clutch is timeless (look at the detailed dual leather buckles and the flap turn-lock closure). I love how Marc Jacobs takes such simple ideas […]

I’m all about versatility when it comes to carry-alls — whether in colour, shape, or size — so I love this shoulder bag by Pauric Sweeney. Different in all three categories, it’s the perfect pocket to store your everyday essentials.
The Saffiano shoulder bag is glossy green, olive-shaded patent leather, set off by contrasting deep brown leather straps. […]

Fresh from his spring collection, Christian Louboutin contrasts hot pink with his signature red soles and readies women for warmer temperatures with patent leather strapped and standing on a four-inch heel.
Though January’s not exactly a practical time for open toes, these sandals beg to be worn now. Especially with the mercury dropping, I can think of nothing hotter than hot […]

These sequin mini dresses — one by Tibi, one by Alexandra Dillon for Victoria’s Secret — are two super stylish ways to wear sequins. And while from a distance these daring dresses look almost identical (except in colour), there are some distinct differences of which to take note.
Tibi’s t-shirt dress is 100% silk, so its sequins stand out and […]
