Don’t Put a Sock in It!

I’m sure you’ve noticed by now that Mary Janes have come back in a big way. Instead of writing about all the adorable pairs I’ve seen over the last month, I’m going to tell you about the pair I bought and love.

Holiday Wrappings

What to wear this holiday season…

Los Angeles: I’m so happy to see over-the-knee boot becoming trendy. I’ve always liked ‘em; it’s like Pretty Woman meets Park Avenue, sexy, stylish, and slick.
Until recently though, I could never find a pair under $500 that I really liked.
Then I spotted these from Chinese Laundry…

They’re called the “Strate,” and they sell for under [...]

LOS ANGELES: Often referred to as “Ballet on steroids,” Cardio Barre is the latest and greatest on the fitness scene. It’s basically the same set of warm-ups you did in ballet class, but at a much faster pace.
The classes are generally an hour long and consist of: 30 mins cardio, 10 mins arms, and 15 [...]

I love the way a good manicure and perfectly polished nails can complete an outfit, especially in the fall and winter when the colors tend to be richer and darker.

DB’s new line debuted shortly after Louis Vitton introduced its new multicolor monogram. [...]

Pairing tights with open-toed shoes used to be a fashion no-no, but the look has since evolved into a fashion statement both on and off the runway.

While there are benefits to this trend, like getting to wear your favorite open toe shoes year round, and not having to worry about a chipping pedicure, there [...]

FLORENCE, ITALY: I learned of the Prada Outlet from a family friend who had gone two summers ago. She warned me that getting to the outlet was no easy task, but I saw this as a minor detail to the amazing news I had just heard – a Prada Outlet exists!
I immediately told [...]

SEATTLETIMES.COM: The Seattle Times ran a story recently on how much influence the show Gossip Girl has had on the retail market. It’s pretty incredible; it’s not everyday that a T.V. show (from the CW mind you) is the theme of a Henri Bendel window display.

If you’re anything like me, than sight of fall merchandise right now can be a little depressing…
For all of us that wish life was an endless summer, shopping around this time of year can bring on some serious anxiety.

We scouted all of their [...]
