"I like you so much better when you're naked"

That's So New YorkIt's very rare that I use video as a way displaying an entire collection or campaign, yet when it comes to Blood Is The New Black and there creative aesthetic, it would nothing but a shame to waste a admirable look book video and throw images in its place. The Blood Is The New Black Fall 2011 video presents us with just a handful of the prints which Blood Is The New Black will be stocking over the course of the next two to three months. As always with BITNB, the video is ext

'I Love Ugly' By Valentin Ozich

That's So New YorkDespite the fact that it may seem like I spend my days sitting here searching through a ridiculous amount of online-stores and designer profiles in an attempt to find a brand which I could happily label "the next big thing" (and I won't deny that yes, a huge percentage of my week, month and year has been taken up by this activity alone), I seem to be constantly posting about Women's and Unisex labels, in addition to a topic which I've shied away from yet can relate to the mo

Sunday's Lagniappe - Looking for Spring

Funny how the simplest things make us happy.  Take for example, today the sun came out, the snow has been melting and it was absolutely delicious to wear only a heavy sweater sans hat, scarf and gloves.  Yes, the weather has made me absolutely chipper and thinking of Spring with smiling cream and yellow daffodils, easter egg colored tulips and my favorite, orchid blossoms. Sigh.

For me, and I'm sure for most of you, Spring also means less clothing. No, I'm not talking of joining a nudist colony o

Contributor Yanni D.: Let’s Talk About HATS!

I have a weakness for HATS (among other things). I simply adore them. It is not surprising to find me styling and profiling several days out of the week with my hat choice of the day.


After browsing for a wide-brim hat yesterday, I had to share some of the cute finds…

To everyone that doesn’t believe in global warming, here’s proof: look outside. The view out your window can tell what your thermometer can’t —you can practically see the makeup drip off peoples’ faces. While it’s easy to avoid wearing cosmetics to the beach (at least foundation), you can’t show up barefaced to work. Unfortunately, with the near triple-digit weather report, don’t expect your foundation to last you to lunch. However, 80 % humidity shouldn’t stop you from looking as hot as the wea

What’s that intoxicating smell on the breeze? Why, it’s the encroaching perfume of the weekend and, lucky you, it’s time to take a trip. Be it to Europe or just a quick island getaway with your honey,
there’s nothing like hopping a plane and getting the hell out of town.
While your clothes can easily fit in a small carry-on suitcase, there’s
just no way that all your precious makeup will fit into a Ziploc, right?
