  • Make a statement with Fiona Paxton

    Posted in: Fashion March 2009 3/30/09 2:37 PM
    Fiona Paxton's line of necklace-scarf hybrids presents an exciting new way to accessorize. Each hand-beaded piece features a unique mixture of Indian embroidery and London street culture, not to mention the obvious throwback to 1920s flapper attire. Although necklaces run a bit on the pricey side...
  • How the maxi dress can help max out your look

    Posted in: Fashion March 2009 3/5/09 4:22 PM
    Although it's hard to believe that spring is approaching any time soon, retailers have already started piling on the spring looks. The plus side to the early spring season is that we get to anticipate spring before its arrival by buying exciting new spring clothes! For example, the maxi dress....
  • Boyfriend Jeans for Less

    Posted in: Fashion February 2009 2/25/09 6:07 PM
    So, I'll admit I was more than a little skeptical about the new boyfriend jean trend (partially because it was introduced by Katie Holmes). After looking at new trends for the spring, however, the baggy, distressed look has grown on me. It's grown, yes, but not enough for me to drop serious cash on...
  • For the Love of Frye Boots

    Posted in: Fashion February 2009 2/18/09 12:06 PM
    Despite being up to my knees in boots I have fallen completely head over heels in love with these new Frye "Carson" cowboy boots. After my first encounter with the boots online I knew that I had to see them in person. Yes, I stalked a pair of shoes. Consensus? They're absolutely amazing!...
  • Shop with a conscience at Payless

    Posted in: Fashion November 2008 11/12/08 1:49 AM
    When I read that Payless Shoe Source is donating $1,000,000 worth of shoes to children in need for the holiday season, I was ecstatic. Especially with the state of the current economy, I think it’s great that this company is embarking on such a large philanthropic project. No doubt part of...
  • Lust affair: 3.1 Phillip Lim's leather neck piece

    Posted in: Fashion November 2008 11/11/08 10:59 PM
    I saw this piece featured on Fashion Week Daily yesterday and practically had a heart attack. Okay, a bit overdramatic, but you get the idea. This necklace is s-t-u-n-n-i-n-g!  Phillip Lim is known for his sophisticated, chic-with-a-twist pieces, so it came as no surprise that he designed...
  • Gwyneth's Lingerie Look: Love it or hate it?

    Posted in: Fashion November 2008 11/5/08 3:27 PM
    Well, she's definitely a risk taker! When I first saw this photo of Gwyneth at the premiere of Two Lovers, I loved the outfit. Cute booties, sexy dress, innovative construction yet flattering details... The more I look at this image, however, the more my eyes start to hurt. Why is she wearing...
  • Have Safe Makeup!

    Posted in: Fashion October 2008 10/28/08 10:42 AM
    I’m a big fan of NARS, which is actually saying something because it’s a line I’ve never worked for. If you’re getting a little head start on your holiday shopping and want something sexy yet useful for that special someone, look no further than NARS Safer Set or Safest Set....
  • Sensuality reigns supreme at Derek Lam

    Posted in: Fashion October 2008 10/19/08 10:25 PM
    Relative newcomer Derek Lam sure made a splash at NYC Fashion Week last month. He showed a gorgeous collection full of jumpsuits, nude palettes and easy silhouettes. Lam told style.com that his show was "totally about sensuousness."  He was right; the clothes draped beautifully,...
  • Seeing double: Givenchy vs. Steve Madden

    Posted in: Fashion October 2008 10/15/08 7:26 PM
    If it weren't for the difference in photography, would you even be able to tell which is which? On top, we have the Givenchy booties that were a celeb fave all summer long (Gwyneth Paltrow, Selita Ebanks, Lauren London, etc.) They cost about $1000 when available. Below, we have Steve Madden's...
