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 […]

Forget 50s-inspired ‘chic’ (can we even call them that?) trend-followers cinching their waists with a belt so thick it wears more like a corset, wasp-waisting themselves in pencil skirts, sucking in and holding breath for shape’s sake, –
Wearing a belt for Spring/Summer 2008 is a breath of fresh air.

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 […]

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 […]

I first fell for woven leather because of my personal aesthetic preferences. After doing some research, I realized that beside its eye-catching excellence and dainty detailing, carrying a woven leather bag is a wise decision because of the strong, sturdy, and structured nature of the handbag. Even in the case of a Michael Kors rattan clutch, the flimsy rattan is reinforced by […]
