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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Hope:
I am trying to find the Revue zinc-hued foil-coated suede jacket that was on sale in the Neiman Marcus online catalogue. I was told Neiman Marcus was out of stock. Will there be any in the future or is there any place I can get one?
Thanks for your attention, Alice G.
 
You’re right. Revue’s […]

Most clutches are classy; this clutch is classic.
Available at Nordstrom, this handbag is crocodile-embossed patent leather at its best. Square shaped with a sturdy frame, it features a front buckle detail, three interior slip pockets, and — surprisingly — lots of storage space.
My favourite feature? The vintage-inspired levered clasp, which literally holds the whole bag together.
The ‘Hannah’ […]

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’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 […]

I’ve definitely developed a love for brogue-inspired spectator footwear. It could come from wearing them for dance class as a girl, or I could just have a love for things two-toned.
And while I almost think these Betsey Johnson booties would wear too Minnie Mouse on me, I’m attracted to the polka-dots and playful platformed soles. That and […]
