They certainly weren’t created with tanlines in mind, but I still love these adorable vintage-inspired swimsuits by Very Sexy® Victoria’s Secret.
The retro balconet and bandeau tops are spot-on style for this summer. Both tops have a chic sensibility that is a refreshing departure from typical triangle bikini tops. These tops also feature removable halter straps and underwire support.
The bottoms of both suits […]

Structured dresses – maxi-, midi-, and mini-lengths – featuring ruffles, lace, and even leather are all over the runways for Fall 2008. And while a little bit of leather goes a long way, my favourite frock is probably the most easy:
The structured shift.
I had no doubt that the shift dress would have a strong presence during the Fall 2008 shows; the […]

I think jean jackets are coming back! What are your choices for a moderate budget?
Crystal
Like every quality piece of outerwear, a denim jacket can cost you. While I’m not totally sold on the classic denim jacket coming back into trend, I do think denim is a versatile alternative to a khaki blazer.
If your definition of ‘moderate […]

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 […]

While I’ve never been an advocate of sexier-than-thou dresses cut down-and-up-to-here-and-there, revealing too much to be anything close to classy; I’ve always been appreciative of a $$$-friendly, versatile Victoria’s Secret frock.
