Ok. So I kind of love these shoes. As I've said before, I was late getting in on the wedge sneaker trend. But now I'm all in. 
Thought it would be fun if they played with one of my favorite jackets.

Haute Couture only comes twice a year and is only shown in Paris. It is a rare bird indeed and thus is taken very seriously by those in the metier. It is akin to Formula 1 Racing or the Paris Le Salon de l'Auto where prototypes are shown and dreamt upon by the multitude of onlookers.

This year Fall-Winter 2012/2013 Haute Couture Collections were most definitely eye candy for this viewers eyes. F

All Hail the Top Knot

*Chanel Iman rocking the "model off duty strolling around the city in black with a samurai style top knot" look.

 

Models, bloggers, and lazy girls all embrace the allure of the top knot, also known as the messy bun or the bundle. As a self professed devotee of the lazy girl chic school of style, the top knot is my go to hair style between blow outs, during rainy weather, during the summer, when I wake up late, when I wake up early but get dressed late, basically 75% of the time.

Flats are back...

I'm a sucker for a new trend as much as the next girl... but I'm also slightly vertically challenged, so the news that flats are back with a vengeance, I'm greeting with slight trepidation.

Yes, we all love the idea of pulling off a gamine Audrey Hepburn channeling her Parisian look in Gigi. But to be honest, the chances of nailing it when you're under 5'5" are slim.

Luckily then, for the munchkins amongst us, wedges are still staking their claim as the shoe to give you a boost f

Elsa Schiaparelli, Vintage Designer History

This is the first, of what I would like to turn into a series of posts, all about the influential designers of the past. Elsa Schiaparelli has been credited with influencing designers such as Gaultier, Galliano, Kenzo, and Issey Miyake just to name a few. I decided to start with Elsa because, although I have often heard her name mentioned, I never really knew that much about her and I decided to do a bit of research to discover who this woman was and why she was once considered to be Coco Chanel

I've come to the sad realization, that summer is near its end. Although most of us want to still believe that its the beginning of July, the mornings are getting a tad chillier, and the wind is starting to blow more often. I love the sound of the wind through the trees, but that us a definite sign of Fall. However, with Fall, comes Fall issues of magazines, and God and everyone knows, they are the largest issues of them all.... Spread after spread, advertisement after advertisement. The 508 page

Get rid of the old bag!

No, I’m not talking about an elderly female relative, but those handbags gathering dust in your wardrobe. Now then, you know as well as I do that they’re never going to come back into fashion, you couldn’t even bluff and call them “vintage”, and frankly, you’re better off getting rid.

If you haven’t used a particular handbag in the last twelve months, it’s time to say goodbye and wave a fond farewell. Take it to a charity shop and guaranteed, someone will be all the more grateful for it.

Sixty-four percent of American women are over a healthy BMI range, more than one-third are categorized as obese…you’ve heard it all before, and thanks to The New York Times, you’re hearing it again. Sure, Saks Fifth Avenue is saving spots for sizes 14 and up come fall, but is the high-end fashion world really ready to accommodate plus-sized beauties? Considering that plus-sized clothes only account for 18% of total revenue, and more than half of women in the St
