Posted in shopping, trends, tagged fashion, isabel marant, rag & bone, shopping, style, trends on August 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

A while back, I saw (in some magazine, now sadly forgotten) a model sitting against a wall, wearing track pants and heels and for some reason loved it. Now sweats + heels is making a major appearance on a few fashion-forward ladies who crave chic comfort. On the runway and the street, sweats are back. [...]

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 [...]

8.9 // four-shower day

Yeah, I took four showers today: it was 98 and about 1,000,000% humidity. I am not at all ashamed to say that I spent my entire day inside, save for floating listlessly in our crowded – but chilly – lake for about three hours, the only reprieve from the heat. Our A/C broke, so now [...]

We all know and live with the fact that the fall shows occur months and months before we can actually pull on those chunky knits or those thigh-high charcoal grey suede boots or that slouchy, camel oversize trench, but we can’t help but imagine ourselves striding around in the golden autumn colours in our funky [...]

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 [...]

So yesterday I went in – gasp – American Eagle with my friend A, not intending to buy anything… because, well, it’s AE. But I saw hanging on little hooks near the floor striped knit bandeau bras and couldn’t help myself. It was $7 and coral and I’m wearing it today and I’m going to [...]
