So in another high-street chain/designer collaboration, it looks like Parisian designer, Sonia Rykiel will be designing a collection for H&M.   To tell the truth, these collaborations have been popping up so frequently these days, that it’s hard to keep up with them.   I’m very intrigued by the Rodarte for Target collaboration, because when I first [...]

With Fall increasingly approaching and marking its territory,  I’ve been switching out my wardrobe and packing away the Spring/Summer items until next year.   For my beauty palette, I’ve been switching out the lighter, summery colors for the darker colors. And during this time, I had what Oprah calls (yes, collective eyeroll) an “Aha” moment. I [...]

It’s a nice, crisp Autumn day and  itching to get outside and enjoy it.   Here are some other things I’m enjoying this Sunday: What I’m Reading: I always like to read the Alinea at Home blog on Sundays.  The author, Carol, is cooking her way through Chicago chef, Grant Achatz’s cookbook, which has recipes based [...]

The above photo is the front of a  postcard that I received from the lovely blogger, The Staple.   I participated in Dream Sequin’s Postcards from my Hometown project where I signed up to receive postcards from two other bloggers from around the world and I would send two to other bloggers. I’ve always loved sending [...]

I’ve been quite mum about NYFW if only because I’ve been reading the great commentary from other fashion bloggers who have been in NY giving their first-hand point of view, so I’ve really only been a spectator.   However, the Mulleavy sisters showed their collection for Rodarte and it was the only collection I felt compelled [...]

Shifting Gears Edited by Jennine It’s here. Summer’s (basically) over, back to school, back to work… even in fashion today is the official first day of Fashion Week madness, and New York is only the beginning. I’ve always thought once Labor Day rolled around, we shifted gears realizing that the year is almost out it’s [...]

So it turns out that I did tell a little fib: I wasn’t quite done with my F/W 09 shopping just yet.    The problem is that I love wedge heels in the Fall and my Seychelles wedges are basically falling apart.  After almost 3 years of wear and tear in bars, on the muddled streets [...]

There’s always a huge difference between posting about your wants and what you are actually able to buy when you size everything up: availability, pricing, convenience.  I wrote about what I wanted for Fall 09 with a tentative wishlist, and although I was able to get a couple of items, I’ve still had to make [...]
