Well, you may not be the bride. In fact, you may not even be in the wedding party. That does not mean, however, that you should forgo looking as fabulous as you possibly can during wedding season because yes, wedding season is upon us. The obvious advice is to stay away from the color white; [...]

That’s what the fashion world has said when it comes to this summer’s footwear. The temperature outdoors is rising, and for that very reason the theme is “less is more.”
In the case of fashion for the feet, the gladiator style sandal–very Roman, very minimalist–mimics that theme of very little. However, don’t forget that while [...]

I’ve always been prone to procrastination. I’m not quite sure why. I do know that I was born one week early, so maybe after that day, I decided, “Maybe I should take things slow?” And, boy, do I! Four days before Christmas, and I have just begun my holiday shopping. Not to worry, though; I [...]
My Christmas Wishlist
Posted by: la fashionista on: December 15, 2007
The weather has become cooler in the northeast. Well, in actuality, the weather has become downright biting and cold. I’ve taken to wearing the black Isaac Mizrahi boots that I bought at the beginning of the year almost anytime that I go out. Of course, this leads me to the conclusion that I need a [...]
After the Purge
Posted by: la fashionista on: October 9, 2007
On Saturday, I did what I had been putting off for months–I cleaned out my closet. What I thought would initially take an hour to do turned into a five hour ordeal not helped by the fact that I had my Salsa Mix blasting on the iTunes. Every so often, after emptying one dresser drawer, [...]
Halfway There: New York Fashion Week
Posted by: la fashionista on: September 7, 2007
New York Fashion Week is well underway. Many designers have brought their creations out for fashion-minded folks to ogle, to write about, to contemplate purchasing, or simply to purchase. Thus far, I’ve perused the designs of Adam Lippes (ADAM), Badgley Mischka, Erin Fetherston, BCBG Max Azria, Charlotte Ronson, and Lela Rose. From the looks of [...]

A little over two weeks ago, I wrote about a to-die-for pair of Jean-Michel Cazabat heels. I found a pair, which seems to be inspired by the design of the designer shoe, on Zappos. They’re from Nine West. They cost $3.95 (USD) less on the Nine West site than on the Zappos [...]

Seasons ago it was the low-rise. Low-rise slacks, low-rise jeans; they were ubiquitous. Yet, as years have passed, the waistline of pants and skirts have slowly crept up, up, up to the point where it’s now in to wear high-waisted bottoms. The trend is, in essence, an updated retelling of fashion from the 1930s. Personally, [...]
It Simply Does Not Go Out of Style

It’s been burned into the collective fashion conscience that the Little Black Dress is the classic, timeless clothing piece to own. Coco Chanel made this dress popular in the ’20s. (She also made it popular to come back from vacation with a decidedly sun-kissed appearance. She was fashion-forward, to say the least.) There is [...]
