You know those boots? Those Chloe boots? The studded, triple-buckle ones that I adore completely and utterly and would maybe consider spending zillions of dollars on? Well, Free People have gone and done me a favour by ripping them off. I know it’s bad form and it’s a knockoff, but at $198, how can you [...]

6.23 // Kimonos, mark II

For some reason, my post on kimonos from a while back has resurfaced among the general populous – and they’ve been preying on my mind as well recently – so I’m doing a follow-up. Wheee!
In the summer heat – trust me, I just ran in 85 degrees and 80% humidity (Warning: Do Not Try At [...]

Look for Less: YSL cage shoe (again)

Two really bad knockoffs: Bebe and Bakers Footwear.
Bebe vs. YSL. Gee, which one’s real?
Bakers. It’s just not the same… but if you really, really want a vaguely-resembling-the-chicest-YSL-shoe-in-a-while, get it here for $80.
(I don’t recommend it. No one will think it’s the real thing… it’s the insanely amazing caged heel that does it.)

So the plan was to hit the mall again today (with a different group of friends), but those plans were cruelly forced to grind to a halt due to…
A SNOWSTORM.
On spring break. In April. Really, Michigan? Must you do this to us? Grrrrrr.
Anyway, look for less: those Marc for LV Spice heels (Spring ‘09). The [...]

Haha, quite possibly the most random post ever. I’ll start with Obama’s visits abroad: England and Russia. England was important – meeting the Queen and all that – and it was quite a different experience than his last trip there.
“Mr. Obama walked through the famous doorway for the first time less than four years ago. [...]

…and so begins our quest for the perfect Valentine’s day – or V-day, for short (not the WWII version, of course… more like V-Day, US edition!)
Right off the bat, you think of red and pink, right? Right. But you certainly don’t need to do, say, an all-over-heart-print jumpsuit and dye your hair red.
That would just [...]

When you think of capes, you probably tend to think of witches, old people, or Victorian England.
Think again!
Capes are back, big time, and completely reinvented. They’re being used in totally new and innovative ways, as well as… well, capes. Black and grey seem to be the big colours, and the bigger and more drapey/sculptural they [...]

Yep, I’m here with a plethora of trends. Why? Because I’m home sick and don’t feel like doing homework. (I’d rather do this and play dress-up!)
First things first, a bright trend for spring: watercolour skirts and dresses and… well, whatever else you want, really. A fun way to add a little kick to any outfit.

Hi all – sorry I haven’t posted in days.
This spring, all you need are a few basics to spruce up your dusty old pieces… that crazy printed skirt you haven’t had a clue how to wear it? Tights, a baggy tank, killer heels and a blazer. That oversize grandpa sweater? Perfection with leggings and vintage [...]
