I love plaid. Not mid-90’s flannel plaid, but good, button-up, cotton plaid. It’s simple, preppy-chic at its finest.
But, for some reason, so much good plaid is done bad. And bad plaid is scary. Like “I just ingested road kill and my sister is also my cousin” scary.

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.

These days Ficalora is a hit with the celebs and on the cusp between affordable and obscene. Ficalora is a favorite of Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, and our favorite dweebie beauty Tina Fey. Fey sports [...]

My newest obsession is the Fiorentini and Baker ‘Edith’boot in black. These handcrafted Italian beauties are the perfect blend of biker and riding boot. The ‘Edith’ is a classic that looks incredible with everything from your ripped-up jeans to your McQueen mini.
