As Sexy As It Gets
If you really wanted to work it (in a sophisticated way, of course), this would be the dress. There are plenty of vampy features going on here?halter, cutouts, exposed back?and yet the sum of all those parts is a dress...
Flip-Flops Gone Fashiony
Poking around on Old Navy's site the other day, I saw that they've come up with a cool alternative to the traditional rubber flip-flop. The new version is more stylized than surfer-y, with crisscross toe straps and another band around...
Packing Tip
For any trip that's four days or longer, I've found that the best thing to pack your stuff in is a rolling suitcase. It just makes life easy?there's nothing worse than racing to catch a flight while bogged down with...
Summertime Fur (Not As Nuts As It Sounds)
Last week, in her Cute Outfit Of The Day portrait, my ever-lovely colleague Noria Morales had on some gorgeous, delicate strappy sandals by?of all companies?Ugg. Intrigued, I did a little googling to get a closer look. I found them on...
Cheap Chic
In so many ways, the people who made this cosmetics bag totally got it right. The silk-screened image of a sweetly granny-ish pouch takes on an artsy trompe l'oeil quality in this context. It's made of fair-trade organic cotton and...
Found It: The Quintessential Summer Dress
If you were going to buy just one dress to wear for the next few months, I propose this one. The floral embroidery on the back is what really gets me?I love everything about it, from the intricacy of the...
Who Wore It Best
The e-commerce site chickdowntown.com recently added a new feature called Who Wore It Best? that's maybe a bit corny and yet irresistible. It consists of two photos of the same model (or at least I'm pretty sure this is the...
Great for Gifts: huset-shop.com
I just stumbled on this website that specializes in contemporary Scandinavian design, and the pickings are really good, particularly if you need to buy someone a present. Plus the prices are very reasonable. I like the idea of stocking up...
Best Buy
My friend Susan, who has very discriminating?and generally pretty fancy?taste, had on the chicest Mary Janes the other day. In cream-colored leather with a wide black elastic strap, they might be the most sophisticated take on this style I'd ever...
To Vest or Not to Vest?
I can't decide where I stand on the issue of vests. Part of me thinks they're way too trendy and that, even if they weren't, it might be too late for me to try and adopt them. And yet I'm...
All Dressed Up
In the sea of summer dresses, this Mayle piece is completely unlike any other I've seen. The coal-and-crimson palette is dramatic and so unexpected for this time of year (let alone this particular season, where bright popsicle colors have definitely...
Hipster PJs--Who Knew?
I never really thought I'd be describing a nightgown as cool until I saw this Simply Vera Vera Wang brushstroke chemise. The painterly navy-and-white motif gives it an edgy quality, which is offset by classically pretty details like delicate pleating...
It's A Wrap
My internal temperature tends to vacillate wildly and annoyingly between really hot and really cold, and so to compensate for the latter I'm rarely without some sort of big scarf that can double as a shawl, even in the height...
Eye Wear
My tendency is to buy one pair of sunglasses and wear them daily for several years straight, or until I've dropped them so many times that the lenses are scratched to the point where I can barely see through them...
Change of Seasons
Whereas most of the time I end up going for a simple, streamlined look, summer has a way of bringing out my inner hippie. Elaborate exotic prints, earthy flat leather sandals, hair worn long, messy, and loose?bring it on. This...
Tried and Truly Addictive: Bop Basics Istanbul Shorts
I've been living in these military-style shorts lately and don't anticipate switching things up anytime soon. They are really one of the most comfortable, easy-to-throw-on pieces I own, made of the softest cotton you can imagine and with a really...
Something Old, Something New
Online jewelry purveyor ylang23.com just added estate pieces to their inventory and the stuff is exquisite. The prices are accordingly steep, but even if you aren't about to splurge it's still a lot of fun to browse. Take these Victorian...
Great Length
I still have yet to satisfy my desire for long flowy dresses to wear this summer, and this one ranks high up on my wish list. The graphic floral pattern has a '70s-ish vibe to it, though the red and...
Looks Can Be Deceiving
If I had to guess, I'd say this top, made of a lightweight knit with a crocheted zigzag border and cutouts, was in the $200-and-up range. The details are so refined (not to mention so cool and original) and come...
Solid Gold
Okay, so clearly you're going to want to iron this dress even though this shop?maybe purposefully??did not. But when you picture it unwrinkled, there's all kinds of greatness happening. For starters, it's so versatile: There's enough shimmer to make this...
