Today’s round of Daily Picks is all over the place, and as it should be. There’s a pump to covet, a few lines from Pablo Neruda to swoon over, and a manifesto that I have been reading to myself almost everyday since I found it. Throw in a few more product picks and amazing photography, [...]

So, in the nineties, cargo pants came on to the scene designed with a completely utilitarian use in mind. You know, the tough, outdoorsy, go-get-the-knife-to-clean-the-fish-and-then-protect-the-group-from-grizzly-bears, kind of thing (all while doing a one-armed push up). And by my writing of the previous sentence, you are now painfully aware at how far removed I am from [...]

 I’m not talking four, and I haven’t found my way to six yet due to intense editing. These are my Top Five, of the moment, and it is officially Round 3. Have a look at the picks that made this round, lucky fashion ducks:   1. Marc Jacobs Zig Zag Wrap Tweed Jacket- $765 (www.mytheresa.com) | 2. Rachel Zoe [...]

One little paradox of a look from Alice + Olivia’s Fall 2011 collection is what started the How-to-Wear (HTW) ball rolling.  The ensemble involves a shined-up dress synonymous with all things cocktail-clad, paired back to a fur-lined, hooded piece of full-on, utilitarian outerwear. Interesting combo? Completely. Wearable off the runway? The answer lies below… Here’s the [...]

Barbara Bui’s Resort 2011 look was the inspiration behind this short story. The concept of taking a classic tweed, nubby, Chanel-esque jacket and pairing that with some shorts did not strike me as having been ‘done.’ It’s a new take that pairs casual with slightly more lady-like, and I’m loving the contrast. Here’s the look [...]

Fabulous, Five. The alliteration is nothing new, this I am aware of. That doesn’t make my five favorite picks of the moment any less fabulous mind you. See what I’m calling out right now, hand-picked and all montage’d (just made that into a verb) up for your viewing pleasure: 1. Vena Cava Sleeveless Long Dress- $495 (www.bloomingdales.com) [...]

The latest shopping list is a little apparel-heavy, and for good reason. I went from a lace laden A+O top, to a ruffled olive jacket, and worked into a long-sleeve dress with some edge. There’s always room for some polish, hence the cuff. Here’s what’s up for now: Scroll & click the product shots to [...]

Burberry Matched With Saving Yourself: Images courtesy of: Burberry Prorsum Studded Cotton-Twill Jacket- www.net-a-porter.com & Quote courtesy of: http://one-away-from-completion.xanga.com/. I’ll admit it. I’m a very ‘reactive’ person. It’s not a quality I’m necessarily chomping at the bit to bring up during polite conversation over cocktails (well, unless I’ve gone over quota), but nonetheless, I’m very aware [...]

Your Classic Black Short & How to Wear it For a Night Out: I’m seeing shorts worn in an a-typical way all over the place right now. I’ve seen tons of variations on the short theme that are a far fashion cry from the homemade cut-offs you were sporting back in the day. From shorts [...]

BCBG’s Wrap-Dress & How to Wear It: Simply, put, this BCBG wrap dress makes me happy. Finding four takes on how to wear it makes me even more ecstatic. Why I’m loving it: Let’s begin at the top, the v-neckline happens with a wrap-front that keeps things ridiculously flattering. Next, the cinched in waist which [...]
