Why Aren't You Wearing This? Glass Bead Necklace

Posted Dec 17th 2008 at 11:06AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves

glass bead necklaceYou might think that, if you're wearing a little black dress to a party, your accessories should add a bit of color. And they certainly can -- we are all about using accessories in precisely that manner. Still, we think that black can actually offer a lot in and of itself, and this Glass Bead Necklace, $49 at Spiegel, proves it.

Must-have shoes - Singerson Morrison for Target Fierce patent booties

Posted Nov 7th 2008 at 1:01PM by Roxanna Sarmiento

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Must Haves


The bootie is the "it" shoe for the season - and we have to admit that while we're not 100% sold on the look, we have seen a few ladies pulling it off very well. We think it may be time to experiment, and these booties by Singerson Morrison for Target are just the shoes we've been looking for.

Disney's newest princess is black!

Posted Oct 17th 2008 at 9:01AM by Annie Scott

Filed under: Style in the News

Princess Tiana of Disney's upcoming The Princess and the Frog is black!

Good work, Disney. We're so pleased, we're not even going to chide you for taking so long. Best of all? The story's not about the fact that she's black. That would offend us.

She's just a Disney princess who happens to be black, and it looks like she's going to have to kiss a few frogs before she finds her prince (just like the rest of us).

Dress of the day - Rolling Rings dress MARC by Marc Jacobs

Posted Sep 8th 2008 at 4:36PM by Roxanna Sarmiento

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves


Ruffles are a huge fall trend - they're feminine and flirty but can be cloyingly sweet if not handled deftly, which is why we love the bold zipper cutting across the bodice of this Marc Jacobs dress.

Dress of the day: Boatneck shift dress by Gap

Posted Sep 2nd 2008 at 12:35PM by Roxanna Sarmiento

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves


We believe this shift from The Gap will be a part of your wardrobe for years to come because it's the perfect little black dress to build on. Its classic styling and simplicity gives you a lot to work with - a statement belt or a vintage scarf will instantly transform it, and of course, a smoking hot pair of shoes will do the same. Best of all? It's machine washable, so say goodbye to your dry cleaners for once!

Available at Gap.com - $48.99 (on SALE)

Shoes of the day - Maylie by Enzo Angiolini

Posted Aug 21st 2008 at 4:27PM by Roxanna Sarmiento

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Must Haves


We believe that a pair of simple black leather peep-toe pumps like these from Enzo Angiolini should be a wardrobe staple akin to a black pencil skirt or a pair of jeans. Why? Because it's a classic style that goes with everything (although it's definitely not appropriate in some offices, but there is life outside of work - remember?) and allows you to show off your pedicure; so one day you're accessorizing them with demurely "nude" toenails and the other you're vamping it up in red.

When choosing a "go-to" pair of peep toes look for a heel height that you're comfortable walking in, and be sure that the toe opening fits your foot comfortably. Walking a few blocks in a pair of ill-fitting peep-toes is ugly as well as excruciatingly painful; no one wants to see your purplish toes sticking out of your shoes. Beauty doesn't always have to mean pain, you know.

Shoes of the day - Oscar de la Renta Triangle Peep Toe Mary Janes

Posted Aug 20th 2008 at 4:31PM by Roxanna Sarmiento

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Must Haves


Oscar de la Renta sexes up the Mary Jane: These are certainly not fit for school, but are perfect for a night out.

The criss cross strap is what caught our eye - made of patent leather and finished with a buckle, it's a fresh way to update the look. Of course, the peep toe, platform and diamond heel don't hurt either. We envision wearing them with something from this store, or even just livening up the proverbial little black dress.

$695 available at Saks Fifth Avenue

Dress of the day - Striped sweater dress by Banana Republic

Posted Aug 19th 2008 at 6:00PM by Roxanna Sarmiento

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves


Who says looking polished equals being uncomfortable?

This sweater dress is about as easy as it gets - just slip it on and go. It's a great piece for early fall, because you can start out wearing without tights (picture after the jump) and then pile on the leggings and accessories as the weather cools. We love it cinched at the waist with a belt because it helps the dress show off your shape.

As an added bonus this dress is a silk/viscose/cotton blend that's machine washable. See? We told you it was easy!

$98 at Banana Republic

Tarte EmphasEYES High Definition Eye Pencil

Posted Jul 30th 2008 at 1:52PM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Cosmetics


It's rare that you'll hear a bad word about black eyeliner from us. We consider it a staple, as vital to have on hand as sugar, coffee and toilet paper.

Naturally, as black eyeliner afficionados, we were intrigued by the Sephora alert about this new Tarte EmphasEYES High Definition Eye Pencil. It is black! It has a cool applicator! It's extra skinny, allowing you to make very very precise little black lines!

The novelty factor was high, and on our next (embarrassingly frequent) trip to Sephora, it was the top item on our list for checking out. Sadly, this turned out to be impossible.

Avril Lavigne: classic black

Posted Jul 7th 2008 at 6:38PM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Cosmetics, Celebrities with Style






Once the territory of only the most hardcore punks, black nails became very mainstream for a few years. The trend is now receding, but you'll continue to see it on skater chicks like Avril Lavigne. If you love the classic, serious look, then black is your color of choice, skip the glitter and funny tips. You can find black nail polish almost anywhere these days, but for on-the-run rockers the Sally Hansen quick dry nail pen in black is convenient and inexpensive. Perfect for the low tech punk aesthetic.
