Dressing right for this spring and summer is all about including some tribal influences and safari style in your wardrobe. 2008’s classic uniform includes anything done in a crisp khaki — jackets, shirt dresses, or skirts – cinched with a fabulous skinny belt in a bright colour. I’m loving khaki skirts that hit just above the knee, done in a […]

Russell Crowe is hands-down the hottest gladiator I’ve ever seen — even if it was just in the cinema — but ladies who can style gladiator sandals for this spring and summer will rank a close second.
Wearing gladiator sandals takes confidence, so I can understand your hesitation — gladiator sandals certainly are a tough look to […]

The envelope clutch is sweet, and a super stylish carrying choice for Spring 08, but I’ve already got my eye on a little something for next fall: Marni’s patent envelope tote.
Talk about a carry-all! The latest tote from Marni has it all: Deep cognac leather in glossy patent, an unusual contrasting plastic and leather handle (kind of reminds me of […]

In the midst of my search for a sweet summer kaftan, I stumbled across Antik Batik’s Erin mini dress. Of course, this shining sequin mini dress is totally not beach-appropriate; it’s more suited for occasions like Christmas or New Year’s Eve. But even in February a girl needs a little sparkle in her life.
Antik Batik’s Erin mini dress wears conservative […]

If you asked me whether I’m a diamonds or pearls girl – today I’d say pearls, hands down.
And hands held on this gorgeous Celestina Pacquiao clutch.
Small in size but voluminous in value, this Celestina clutch is made from pure mother-of-pearl, straight from the Philippines. Add to that a 14k gold frame, — yes, it’s genuine through-and-through! — […]

There’s nothing better during dull winter days — and nights — than giving slushy sidewalks and snowy streets some competition. My motto is, don’t let the winter weather cause you wardrobe worriment; wear whatever footwear you love!
Work open-toes with the weather by pairing them with opaque tights, and don’t be afraid to rock boots with […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

‘Tis the season to be jewelled. Or at least to wear some beautiful jewel tones.
I can’t think of a better time of year to style these rich colours your own — from pants to skirts to dresses to shirts.
Check out my picks at ThisNext, and head over to Net-A-Porter for more gems from your favourite designers.

What first caught my eye about this gorgeous Celine number was its tangy tangerine colouring.
I also took note of the cut-out details that make an otherwise simple jersey dress turn total avant garde. Add to that a tie/buckle combination that makes the dress work appropriate for day and night, and you’ve got yourself an easy outfit that’s […]

How surprised was I to find Mischa Barton wearing one of Matthew Williamson’s designs and not Sienna Miller?
Very.
Leave it up to Mischa Barton to change her hair colour and her signature style; she stepped out in Matthew Williamson’s pearlescent cluster top, pairing the animal-printed silk number with a pair of wide-leg black pants.
Paired with skinny pants […]

Clothing by Chloé is classic, with just the right dash of modernity thrown in for style’s sake. Designer Paulo Melim Andersson blends easy and elegant so well; he has a way of creating beautiful lines with even the most loose and flowy fabrics.
I can just picture a modern-day Katherine Hepburn wearing any of the fashion houses designs, like these […]
