On Our Radar: Joseph Leopard Coat
They say leopards don’t change their spots—and that’s fine with me, because I am obsessed with them. I’ve been collecting leopard-print pieces for a few years, but I never managed to find the perfect coat. Until now. I love this extra-soft rabbit-fur piece at Joseph, either to pair with slouchy boyfriend jeans on the weekends [...]
On Our Radar: Oscar De La Renta Silk Flower Dress
I know some people don’t like to dress their toddlers like grown-ups, but it’s almost impossible not to love this floral baby dress from Oscar de la Renta, a miniature version of one of Oscar’s Resort 2009 pieces. While it’s expensive, $100 from each dress sold goes to benefit the Children’s Defense Fund, and though [...]
On Our Radar: Club Monaco Aliandra Sequined Blazer
I always like to have bold pieces in my wardrobe. Basics? They’re not really my thing. (My mom often complains, “Can’t you just buy something simple?” Sorry, Mom—no!) So when I first saw this Club Monaco sequined blazer, no surprise, it went straight to the top of my shopping list. Now I’m just waiting for [...]
Match Set
Bijoux pros Scott Wilson and Ligia Dias—who designed accessories under Karl Lagerfeld and Alber Elbaz, respectively—along with Florian Jewelry collaborated with ballerina (and chicster) outfitter Repetto on a shoes-meet-jewels project hitting a few cool stores. The jewelers gussied up Repetto’s classic flats and created complementary necklaces to go with. The pieces are sold separately, so [...]
Cuckoo for Coco
With so many presentations this season instead of runway shows, designer Shelly Steffee had some trouble when shopping for her mannequins: They were all sold out. Steffee says the only ones available were rendered in the likeness of Coco Rocha. Without a second thought, the designer decided to purchased all of them—yes, ten exact copies [...]
Nina Ricci and Jackie O? Yes, Please.
Before we had Michelle Obama to reference, the easiest way to get “First Lady” and “style” in the same sentence was by adding “Jackie Kennedy.” Today, of course, you can pop into J.Crew for the same look Mrs. Obama was wearing, but the same could not be said for imitating Mrs. Kennedy’s style. Until now. [...]
Pretty Print
Contemporary designer Geren Ford may be new to the market, but she’s already getting tons of attention. Her presentation Wednesday afternoon had the room full of editors from Vogue, Teen Vogue, and W, CFDA’s Stephen Kolb, and plenty of friends scoping out her collection. Raised on both coasts in a house full of artists, Ford’s [...]
Love At First Sight
What: Vince dark denim leggings
Why: Being pregnant makes it no easy task to find a good pair of pants, or at least a pair that fits, especially if, like me, you refuse to shop at maternity stores. Luckily for us, Vince is launching a small denim collection for Spring, including the perfect pair of dark [...]
Love At First Sight: Taking It To The Maxi
What: Vera Wang Lavender Label maxi dress—an easy and airy sky blue, floor-length frock with a micro-floral print and ethereal ruffles
Why: Going home to Brazil for the holidays always inspires me to shop for flowy dresses. The minute I laid eyes on this Lavender maxi, I knew it was perfect for a summer night’s party. [...]
Le Chic Dominique
If you read Vogue or shopped at Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, or Saks Fifth Avenue in the eighties, the name Dominique Aurientis will definitely ring a bell. If you didn’t, it’s a moniker worth getting to know, because the designer and her bold and beautiful costume jewelry are back. The Paris-based Aurientis first learned her [...]
