As I mentioned on Monday, all hail the return of the timeless lady.  Louis Vuitton’s Fall 2010 collection is magnificent.  I loved everything about it and can’t wait for the looks to trickle into the mainstream.

Diane von Furstenberg Dresses

I couldn’t believe my dumbluck when I beheld a black silk, DVF dress in my size, [...]

How to Wear an Hermes Scarf

My bff was cleaning out her closet and was about to toss a silk scarf from Paris before I stopped her.  The scarf wasn’t Hermès, mind you, but it was gorgeous nonetheless. I couldn’t believe she would consider tossing it, when you can wear silk scarves in so many fabulous ways! If you’re truly lost [...]

Prada Print Collection Dresses

I love a great summer dress.  I love summer dresses at work, weddings, parties, picnics, evening strolls…I love them always! When I received an email from Vogue about Miuccia Prada’s Print Collection dresses, I was excited at the thought of wearing them for summer.  To my dismay, of course, Vogue seems to think that these [...]

Designer Style on the Cheap: Valentino Lace Pumps

These Valentino Sculpture Lace Pumps are to die for.  I certainly appreciate couture clothing for being works of art, but these shoes could be showcased at the Musee D’Orsay tomorrow!  Can you guess how much they cost?  As I said to a friend yesterday…if you have to ask, you can’t afford them.  At $4700, these [...]
