I was first introduced to Monica’s line at Fashion Week several seasons ago, when she presented a collection of seasonless, office-appropriate looks. For her upcoming collection, she has moved from the office to the resort for something that is very different. The Nicole is one of several pieces in the collection Her new collection, dubbed […]
Though Gilt has been shipping to Canada for at least a couple of years, I really only started shopping there late last year. There’s a great deal of choice, especially with higher end designers, but o course, the prices are very high.

This morning, while scrolling on Facebook, I came across a story on Frances Chan, a 20 year old Yale student who was forced to gain weight by Yale health authorities. Frances is petite – about 5’2″ in height and 90 lb, according to reports. Yes, this is very light for her height, but it isn’t […]

I covered mostly early shows this season, so unfortunately, I missed designers like David Dixon and Maison Matthew Gallagher. Perhaps next season! The Yays: Triarchy […]
Gimmicky and tacky are two adjectives one thinks of when they hear that a designer is showing a collection filled with city maps and skylines. However, this was not the case for Anu Raina’s Fall/Winter 2014 collection, which is filled with desk to dinner-appropriate pieces. In fact, other than a few obvious pieces (such as […]
I don’t know why I have yet to purchase Triarchy jeans because they are TOTALLY my thing! While I have only been on a horse once in my life (other than wooden ones) and never really read equestrian books growing up (what kind of preppy girl am I?), I’ve always had a fondness for the […]
