Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves

wide suede beltYou know that black dress you've been wanting to add a little "oomph" to? Or what about that oversized turquoise cardigan? You know you need a belt to cinch it in, but a boring old belt simply won't do.

Why aren't you wearing this? Wilshire medium shoulder bag

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Must Haves

Whenever we're looking for a new handbag, we tend to get distracted by the ones with bright colors, unusual textures, and funky patterns -- they're just so fun to look at! But, the thing is, every girl needs a beautiful bag in a neutral hue for those days when her dress (or coat, or hat) really need to take center stage.

Why aren't you wearing this? Pure Pashmina Wrap

Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves

Even though it's cold out, there are certain times when a sweater just won't do. When we're hitting the club with our girlfriends or attending a cocktail party with our boy du jour, we want to look a little sexy, and sometimes that requires showing a little skin. But we don't want to be cold, of course, so we like to bring along a little wrap, like this Pure Pashmina Wrap, $59.99 at The Pashmina Store.

Why aren't you wearing this? Marc by Marc Jacobs Painted Intarsia Gloves

Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves

Winter's coming, and you need to make sure you have the right tools to cope with the drop in temperature. We tend to lean toward items that, for one thing, can be worn with multiple things, and for another, can be adjusted according to temperature. These Marc by Marc Jacobs Painted Intarsia Gloves, $88 at Shopbop, do just that.

Filed under: Runway Trends, Clothing, Men

The gray suit legitimizes the hot pink top.You know all those bright accents you wore this summer? Bright with white was huge, and good news: you can still wear those brights, just pair them with gray. Gray, grey, however you want to spell it, it's in. For example, pair a bright top with the gray suit you see here from Banana Republic. Men, this tip goes for you, too.

Dress of the day - Striped sweater dress by Banana Republic

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

Fashion is crashin': Depression-era styles are coming back

Filed under: Style in the News


What's the hot color for this fall? According to designers at Banana Republic, H&M, and the Gap, it's depression-era grey. While they might be jumping the gun a little bit by repackaging styles from the Great Depression, it never hurts to try to stay ahead of the curve in the world of fashion. We haven't noticed any bread lines or wandering Okies -- do you feel like changing your style to suit the economy?

With all the talk about tooth art and the skyrocketing number of cosmetic surgeries in the US, it's hard to imagine people going back to the 30's for any other reason than for sheer novelty. Also, it's kind of an ironic way to try to boost slumping sales. The styles were previewed to Wall Street where they apparently got "mixed reviews." Basically, think Newsies: more hats, baggy pants, grey patterns, and utilitarian lace-up shoes.

Needless to say, we're not too wild about the look -- a little too costume-ish. Still, some of the styles will no doubt leak into the mainstream. If anything, we hope it's time for full-brimmed hats to make a comeback.

Tip of the day: They call me mellow yellow (and grey)

Filed under: Clothing, Style Tip of the Day


We have seen the yellow and gray combo around for some time now. The sunny hue is completely complimentary of the soft neutral and a perfect pick for those with a cool skin tone. Plus, it's a lot less harsh than its bumblebee side kick, black and yellow.

Try giving some of these mellow yellow looks a whirl.

Going grey can be great!

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Clothing, Shoes, Dresses, Cosmetics


In the 80s, did you have grey jazz shoes? Or are we showing our age? Maybe it's a little fashion nostalgia, but we're kinda into grey again.

This spring grey has been everywhere, from shoes to nails to dresses. We're loving the subtle and sophisticated ways the shade is being used, with creativity far beyond gym shorts and heathered wool sweaters. Grey is showing up in patent leather and organic cotton and everything in between.

When worn right, grey can be incredibly polished and flattering. Of course, some things are still better in color. We draw the line at grey hair -- you'll find us at the salon for regular root touch ups.

Check out the gallery for seven stylish grey selections.

Fall 2008 Beauty Trend: Gray and Purple Eyes

Filed under: Cosmetics, Fashion Week

Fall 2008 Beauty Trend: Gray/ Purple Eyes
I hate to be cliché and trust me I want to start smacking people around when I hear stuff like this but -- gray is the new black for Fall 2008. MAC's Trend Spot write up during New York Fashion Week declared that purple and gray are the colors to have your eyes this coming Fall.

If you want to capture this trend here are some great products for you:

NARS Single Eye Shadow: NARS makes a great eye shadow, I don't know why I don't use it more. The color always goes on strong and has nice staying power. This color is perfect for Fall 2008 because it's a combination of the two hottest shades for beauty ... gray and purple.

Bare Escentuals Wearable Eye Kit - Meet The Stones This kit by Bare Minerals has all the gray eye shadow that you will ever need. If for some reason these colors don't work for you, try mixing and matching to achieve your perfect shade of gray.

DuWop Gray Eyes I love DuWop's eyeshadow kits ... mostly because they are super cute. This kit is perfect for getting your perfectly gray, perfectly smokey eye for Fall 2008.

Sephora Brand Enchanted Eye Palette - Plum
I am a sucker for an eye palette, you get all you need and more in one neat little package. This palette will be your best friend in Fall 2008 because grays and purples are the "it" thing to have in your make up bag.

Urban Decay Matte Eyeshadow If you want color that goes on just like you see it in the container then Urban Decay is perfect for you. When I was in high school I bought a bright blue (I was in high school remember) from Urban Decay and that sucker went on bright! Probably a bit too bright for the way I was applying it but still.
