Shoes and sensibility
Ladies, I need to tell you something. You might want to sit down. I’m sure your feet are killing you, anyway. When you wear lobster-claw, armadillo high heels, you probably look ridiculous. These shoes were meant for the runway. For editorial fashion shoots. They weren’t meant for the average, active woman. (Also: I fear for [...]

Fashion Trends, guest blogger
Kate Middleton’s elegant style has rocked the fashion world and ushered in a new era in the popularity of modest, knee-length skirts, floaty dresses, hip jackets and casual wear that looks like something you wear to Buckingham Palace’s lawn or a tree-planting in Canada rather than something you’d wear to a college class or to [...]

Road Trip!
Museums might not be the first place that one thinks of when the word “fashion” comes to mind. Â I mean, sure, there’s always a fine selection of logo-ed cotton t-shirts on hand in the gift shop, but real fashion? Â No way. Except…there are some seriously wonderful, sartorially inspired exhibits going on in major art museums [...]

Sweet Nothings
Lace… so sweet, so pretty, so ultra-femme. And so ubiquitous at present. But what if you’re not really a super-feminine type woman in your style? Can lace ever look a little tough? Oh, yes, Sista! Take a look at this Prabal Gurung peplum dress with silvery lace: Runway look: Reality Look: It manages to look [...]

Caped Crusader
When you hear the word “cape,” you might think of Batman & Robin or Superman.  But Fall 2010′s trend is not inspired by a superhero. Think more along the lines of fur stoles, beaded shrugs, and sophisticated wool toppers that are anything but cartoonish. The cape is one of the hottest silhouettes this fall, in any number [...]

Asymmetry is Bliss
I’m loving asymmetrical cuts right now.  They have a certain edginess without being too over-the-top tough, and they also exude a certain modern art sensibility in their simplicity. I’m definitely feeling this trend. In his typical forward-thinking fashion, Alexander McQueen left us with these simple, yet stunning dresses featuring asymmetrical sleeves and ruching. The first [...]

Guest Blogger: Oh, Hello There. Have We Met Before?
Oh, hello there. Have we met before? I’m having a sensational case of deja vu. All over again. Anyway, I’m here to talk about fashion. Specifically, I’m here to talk about the fashion of the late-aughts. More specifically, I’m here to talk about the fashion of the late-aughts that I never, ever, ever want to [...]

Guest Blogger: To Heel or Not To Heel: A Fashion Revolution
I finally admitted it to a friend last month: ever since my return home from a six-month sabbatical in the Caribbean, I’m in a complete state of fashion and shoe confusion. During my time there, I wore sundresses, tee shirt dresses, flats, halters with shorts or minis…and flashy night time attire, island-style. I did wear [...]
