I want that! Joy Bryant's sparkling Missoni dress

Posted Aug 26th 2008 at 9:03AM by Boydie Beener

Filed under: Get the Look


Okay, we are just loving us some Joy Bryant this week. Earlier this year she attended the New Yorkers for Children Celebrates New Year's in April party which was hosted by Missoni. Always the good little client, Joy wore this shimmering one shouldered gem by the design house beautifully.

We love how the neutral palette tones the dress down just right. So instead of looking like she fell off "The Love Boat," she ended up looking radiant as ever.

Please note the simplicity of the accessories and the pocket(!) which allow Joy to keep her casual elegance in such a glittering, glamazon look. A single silver bracelet, gold pumps and a small gold clutch. That's it.

Ah Joy brings us so much Joy. (Sorry, had to.)

Why aren't you wearing this? Vintage Flower Bead Ring

Posted Aug 11th 2008 at 1:55PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves


Vintage touches are one of our favorite things. We love pieces that look old enough to have a story about them, like, "Over 150 years ago, my grandmother's grandmother had to sell all of her jewelry in order to keep the estate, but this was her favorite ring, and her favorite housemaid kept an eye on who bought the ring, got a job there, and stole it back! Can you believe it?"

Tip of the day: Liberty prints

Posted Aug 8th 2008 at 7:57AM by Boydie Beener

Filed under: Style Tip of the Day


Liberty prints are everywhere. We've seen them on Kate Moss. We've seen them on Keira Knightly. Even on British socialite Peaches Gelfdoff. And if you haven't guessed Captain Obvious, these prints are as English garden as they come.

Designers are tapping in and bringing these charming prints across the pond via floaty, bohemian tops, simple sundresses, summer scarves, chunky shoes and of course, sweet English style tea dresses. Mixing Americana with English rose has never looked so good!

Why aren't you wearing this? Yummi Glass Pansy Necklace

Posted Jun 28th 2008 at 3:53PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves


Some of the best accessories in the world are based on elements of nature. And, especially in the summer, we're rather partial to floral accessories, especially when they have a bold, funky edge to them.

Why aren't you wearing this? Lucky Brand Poppy Fields Patchwork Satchel

Posted Jun 23rd 2008 at 9:57AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Must Haves


We don't know about you, but on some days we wake up feeling high fashion -- we've got poise and style and want to run around town in heels and look unapproachably gorgeous. On other days, we wake up feeling a little less au currant, but that doesn't mean we plan to schlep around in sweats and carry a backpack for a purse -- not a chance!

Why aren't you wearing this? Nine West Lovable Flat

Posted Jun 17th 2008 at 2:48PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Must Haves


When we first saw this shoe, we thought, "Huh. That's cute. It looks like something we would have worn back in our childhood days," and we dismissed it from our thoughts. And then we saw it again, and the appeal was still there, but this time without any thoughts of playgrounds and Sunday school -- we realized we wanted this shoe in the here and now. Especially since it's on sale at Piperlime.

Why aren't you wearing this? Tasha Satin Rosette Head Wrap

Posted May 20th 2008 at 2:55PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Accessories, Hair Care, Must Haves


We just finished watching the Gossip Girl season finale, and, as happens every Monday night, we decided we want to start wearing more fabulous hair accessories. Between Blair's headband at the wedding and her hat at the end, and Lily's flower in her hair, we are simply inspired.

And so, while we might normally overlook this Tasha Satin Rosette Head Wrap (available at Nordstrom for $68) as being a little "too much," we're really feeling it right now. Of course, this isn't a headband to be paired with undone hair -- this is something to be saved for occasions when you're really going for a look. Perhaps you could bust it out for a fabulous Upper East Side wedding this summer!

Why aren't you wearing this? Lombardy Cap

Posted May 14th 2008 at 7:55PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Accessories, Hair Care, Must Haves


We remember being in school and getting in trouble for wearing hats. "But, sir," we'd politely say to the principal, "it's not a baseball cap -- it's a fashion statement." Plus we were having a bad hair day.

Principals don't always care about fashion statements, or bad hair days, for that matter. But we do, and we've spent the last several years making up for all those day we couldn't wear hats in school by wearing them everywhere else.

Why aren't you wearing this? Natasha Skinny Headband with Flower

Headbands are no longer for the eight-and-under playground crowd -- thanks to Gossip Girl, headbands are showing up everywhere. We're loving it because it gives us fashionistas yet another way to take an everyday outfit from ordinary to off the hook.

Why aren't you wearing this? Gold Cuff Bracelet

Posted Apr 17th 2008 at 9:08AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Accessories


So, perhaps gladiator sandals aren't quite your style -- that doesn't mean you have to totally give up on the gladiator chic trend this year. There are lots of ways to rock the gladiator look -- loin cloths, breast plates, helmets -- but you probably wouldn't want to wear any of those, either, would you?

You know how sometimes you have a dress or a long shirt, and it's great and you love it, but it just needs a little something else? We've found that a fabulous way to change up the look of a favorite (or not so favorite) frock is with a belt.

Thinking about giving flowers for Valentine's Day? Try Prada instead.

Posted Feb 11th 2008 at 12:24PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, Shoes

Kristopher Dukes loves these shoes, and so do I. Guys, forget about giving some lame bouquet of roses for Valentine's Day -- if she even bothers to put them in water, they'll still die within a few days. But Prada? Prada is always a gift worth giving.

These Prada Floral Heeled Peep Toe shoes are the perfect combination of sexy and sweet. Sexy is a 4" heel and a little peep toe; sweet is a flower stem and beautiful bloom serving as that sexy 4" heel.

And who says you need to wait around for someone to give these to you as a gift? Get your sexy self a pair and make your own Valentine's dreams come true. Because, really, who's going to resist you strutting your stuff in heels like that?

Prada Floral Heeled Peep Toe, $590.
