I’m not sure when being a investment banker type became cool again, but apparently it is and everyone failed to inform me. I guess all trends recycle. I just figured that one originating from the Reagan and Bushie era would take a bit longer to come around. My peers at the party look as if [...]
Over-the-Knee boots are back, and they’re hot enough to make a 1990 Julia Roberts channeling Vivian Ward proud. Skin-tight and thigh-high, these boots have the ability to make that crazy-cat neighbor look like a rock star.
However, wear them with caution. These boots can go from classic-fab to hooker-bad at a [...]
Toy Watch might best be described as the post-apocalyptic, i.e., post-market crash of 2008, approach to luxury timepieces. The world really has gone broke when the Italians are constructing timepieces out of plastic. Toy Watch is exactly what it sounds like. A seemingly grown-up watch made of material once suited for only a child.
Toy Watch [...]
THURSDAY–
The number of people at the Santa Monica’s Farmers Market at two o’clock on a Thursday afternoon amazes me. I can’t figure out how so many people in this city never work, and yet they all seem well endowed, with their Mercedes coupes, couture digs, and astonishing breasts. I peacefully purchase my produce and enjoy [...]
Chan Luu may be better known for her hippie-chic jewelry collection than knitwear. But with her line of cashmere and silk blend scarves, Luu proves she might just be able to conquer another facet of the fashion world.
Luu’s soft and sheer fabrics are perfect for any season. You can wear them loose as a [...]
Lanvin’s ballet flats are the bee’s knees. Which is exactly why you need a pair. And so do I. Lanvin’s flats began popping up about a year ago on practically every celeb–Angelina Jolie, Sarah Jessica Parker, Nichole Richie, Liv Tyler, and Reese Witherspoon just to name a few.
And though they’re slightly pricey, they just might [...]
With the release of the Fall 2008 collections came boyfriend blazers and over sized trousers. The looks merely flirted with masculinity. Soft-core. Nearly flaccid. The androgyny of 2008 peered but was afraid to look.
Fall 2009 doesn’t just look—it stares. With perverse excitement. Think David Bowie near climax via 1972 Ziggy Stardust. Brilliance, without a fear [...]
Occasionally I truly believe there’s a seventy-year-old woman from the Upper East Side living deep inside my fashion core. My love of Louis Vuitton luggage, tweed Chanel blazers, and all things St. John point to this. And occasionally that old lady likes to vacation in The Hamptons. It’s here that her passion for Sperry Top-Siders [...]
The next time you find yourself in Austin, making a trip over to Ranch 616 is an absolute must on the to-do list. Located just off the infamous West 6th district at 616 Nueces Street, Ranch sits with quiet, lackadaisical charm—think Matthew McConaughey resurrected as a restaurant. Ranch’s atmosphere lies somewhere between rockabilly and hillbilly [...]
Today is a slightly monumental day for all pizza-loving Angelenos. Today, the famous and absolutely delicious Pizzeria Mozza, helmed by chefs Nancy Silverton and Mario Batali, opens the doors of Mozza 2Go.
Now the masses can indulge in this legendary pizza without making a reservation a month in advance or sitting at a packed bar eating [...]
