September Issue Roundup!

Aug 06, 2009 - The divide between the US and Europe, in terms of fashion, is completely (and pitifully) obvious here: Harper's Bazaar UK chose wisely when they picked Natalia Vodianova, looking beautiful among wheat while the US Harper's features and actress. Cudos to them, of course, for picking Leighton Meester, as she and her TV alter-ego Blair Waldorf are both largely viewed as a style icons, but the bright, bold and somewhat obnoxious print on the cover definitely brings it down- she's glowing, but that doesn't mean everything else should be as well. At ELLE UK, they picked Lindsay Lohan, who might be on the verge of making a comeback. - 0 Comments

Pointy Bras : Iconic and Hot or Dated and Impractical ?!!

Nov 15, 2009 -   Between the popularity of "Mad Men," stars like Katy Perry and Lady Gaga donning retro styles, and the resurgence of Madonna-esque Jean-Paul Gaultier styles, the resurgence of bullet bras seems almost inevitable. London shops have seen cone-shaped bra sales up as much as 33% from last year, and experts are attributing the trend to a focus on women's curves typically prevalent during economic crisis. "Throughout the last century the trend for feminine pointy shaped bras experienced a renaissance following times of a toughened economy, marking a return of unabashed femininity as women seek to have more fun with fashion as a form of escapism," says a spokesperson for UK retailer John Lewis.We've always loved the look of a fuller figure--perhaps a more prominent bust will lead the way. - 17 Comments

There is always first time for everything...online shopping. Yes or No?

Nov 12, 2009 - I always knew they existed - I have seen their chic dresses, sexy heels and cool tops.  I am talking about Topshop.  I got even excited when I found out that they opened a store in NYC, although I live in Denver, Colorado.  I must say things come around a lot slower around here and don't get me wrong, there are nice stores here, but it's not to the point where they satisfy my fashion cravings.  This is when the beauty of online shopping comes in handy.   My friend Sophie loves to shop online.  She says that it's the best because she can buy things anytime,even in 2 in the morning,  not have to worry about driving to the mall ( and not finding anything at the mall!!) and in most cases there's no sales tax and a little shipping and usually the return and exchange are easy. I must say I was never comfortable of buying clothes online. Shoes and bags, I'm OK with.  With clothes, things are different simply because every brand has slightly different sizing and all.  Topshop seemed no exceptions.  It's from UK, and I know sometimes the equivalent of those sizes can be confusing...( look at H&Ms!)  One day, as I was looking through tons of pictures as always - new trends, jackets and coats for fall and winter.  And there it was.  I fell in love with this striped knit jacket from Topshop.  I looked at the price and fell in love with it even more - it's only $80!! Knitted Stripe Jacket $80.00 at Topshop I had to go to the store - but wait, there is no Topshop here in Denver!  As I envied those folks in NYC, I went online.  I quickly navigated myself to look for the jacket and there it was!  I want, I want!  Pause.  What is my size?  Suddenly, I was lost.  I usually wear 2 or 4, depending on the brand.  I have jackets and tops that run rather smaller and larger and what?????  While all those thoughts kept going around my head, I looked up on the sizing chart.  Hmmm....I think I am 4 but I don't want it to be too tight since it's a knit jacket....oh well, let's just order 6 in case and if it didn't fit, I'd just exchange it. - 0 Comments

Jacquetta Wheeler Vacations, Karlie Turns 17

Aug 06, 2009 - Jacquetta Wheeler has let us follow her every move with her blog for Vogue UK, and now, like the rest of the fashion set, she's enjoying some time off vacationing in Tangier with her family. She's been relaxing, overlooking the Mediterranean and sipping mint tea at a sixties hotspot that the Rolling Stones love. She makes us even more envious, though, with her pictures: Karlie Kloss, who's landed the Alexander McQueen campaign (preview below), celebrated her 17th birthday at Disney World with her friends and family: A first look at her McQueen campaign - 0 Comments

The Cost of Being Glamorous.

Nov 12, 2009 - Poor me, I’m one of those sad ladies you see looking through boutique shop windows wanting to buy all the clothes and shoes (and winter coats) that my heart desires. Alas, my bank account often screams to me from the hole in the wall on the other side of the road – don’t you bloody dare.   Fortunately I have some degree of self control and therefore end up spending my dosh on food – and that’s not doing much for my thighs!    Please tell me I am not the only one who refuses to spend money on what I cant afford. - 0 Comments
