NYFW. Look to Love; Belles of Dusk
AW’13 is a good season for especially special evening. Refined and restrained with a lean on the more casual, there was shine for days, gorgeous cascading gowns, and opulence, oh the opulence (don’t get tired of that word just yet). The cuts were more body embracing than we’ve seen in several seasons. There was sexy…

Except of course on the red carpet where its only polite. Mornings are hard enough to…

Fashion from the Motherland.
Fashion. Say what you will about it, it still remains one of the most connective threads we have as human beings. It transcends boundaries and goes far beyond the clothes, shoes, accessories etc. There is personality embedded in fashion regardless of your taste in clothes, choice of designer or style aesthetic and the vast growth…

10 Things; post Fashion-Week detox.
1. Hashtags; Okay, we need to get a handle on this to avoid mass tag confusion or worse, over-tagging. Is it #nyfw #mbfw #mbfwny? And what about the designers shows? Who decides on the tagging system. This needs to decided upon and when it is, please drop us a line so we can avoid tag…

SS13; Bags
Prepare to fall in love with the splendid array of handbags for Spring Summer. There are bags and there are Bags and then there is that Chanel BAG. Leave it to Uncle Karl to steal the show and leave us with a lasting impression; that is a bag and a half and something to hula,…
