The King is dead. Long live the King
When someone you admire, but have never met, passes away, what are you supposed to feel? * one of my favorite designs/overall collection, from anyone, ever. I was /am profoundly sad to learn that Alexander McQueen passed away. That sadness is heightened by the knowledge that his death was not the result of an accident or medical anomaly but rather of suicide. There have been several people in my life who have died from suicide and each loss... Read More
Ultimate Style Crush: Chrystelle Saint-Louis Augustin
I’ve never really been one for obsessing over models.

There were plenty of playful pieces for me to oooooh and aaaaah over. I particuarly... Read More

Wishful Wednesday: Cheap & Chic
Besides having the best name, Moschino’s Cheap & Chic line is consistently a lot of fun. Yesterday, I spent some quality time revisiting their 2010 Resort collection and making notes on looks that I would like to try. For example, everyone is still obsessed with “the blazer” but I really like the alternative idea of pairing a cropped jacket with a pair of trousers. I also thought the idea of recreating a more casual tuxedo look... Read More
