Why aren't you wearing this? Pure Pashmina Wrap

Email thisPosted Nov 5th 2008 at 6:02PM by Kristen Seymour

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.

Help your dog stay cool in the dog days

Just like us, dogs can suffer from dehydration and heat exhaustion. They do their best to stay cool by panting, but since they can't exactly sweat, it's tough for them to beat the heat.

There are all kinds of contraptions on the market that use space-age polymer technology and old fashioned evaporation to help you do right by your best friend. From cooling vests to crate fans, to simple travel water bowls, it's easy to keep your pet cool. And that makes you cool, too.

Why aren't you wearing this? Kashmere yellow ombre cashmere-silk wrap

We've touted our love of the light wrap before -- it's a stylish, elegant way to ward off the chill of a light evening breeze. Plus, it's a nice way to give yourself a little extra coverage when wearing a sleeveless top, should you feel the need.

A plain black or white wrap is a good, solid investment -- it'll go with a lot of clothes and always remain in style. However, if you want to be just a little trendier, why not opt for this yellow ombre cashmere-silk wrap, $85 at bluefly.com? It's classy but has just a little bit of a modern edge with the ombre design and the season's hottest color, yellow, and would look fabulous with a sweet little dress or a tank top and jeans.

Gallery: Accessories for Mom: Get her out of a style rut!

Diane von Furstenburg 'Fan Cubist Dots' Jersey Scarf

Elizabeth Gillett Olive Floral Lace print 'Isolde' wrap

When we were wee little girls, our moms helped us define our sense of style. Sometimes they bought us that fabulous candy necklace we'd been eying at the dime store, once in a while they let us experiment with their makeup, and occasionally they let us pick out our own outfits for school and allowed us to leave the house wearing leg warmers, shorts, and a sweater because it was helping us figure out who we were.

Now is your chance to help Mom out. Is she in a style rut? Often, as women age, they find what works for them and just sort of stick with it. And while you might not be ready to take Mom out for a whole new wardrobe, you can help her update her look with some fab accessories -- click through the gallery for ideas.

Why aren't you wearing this? Yellow pashmina wrap

We often find, when attending a fabulous evening soiree in the Hamptons (or hitting up a pal's barbeque), we find ourselves a bit chilly by the end of the night. While a strappy little dress was just perfect when we left the house, once the sun has been down a few hours and we have a perfectly chilled cosmo in hand, we end up with goosebumps -- so not sexy.

DVF suing Target

Email thisPosted Jan 29th 2008 at 2:00PM by Josh Loposer

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing, Dresses, Celebrities with Style

If you purchased a dress that looks like this from a Target store recently, hold on to it -- you might be wearing evidence from an upcoming court battle. In a complaint filed in Manhattan last Thursday, Diane von Furstenberg's studio decided to get legal with the big box retailer over a dress that too closely resembled her distinctive "spotted frog" design.

Apparently, DVF first contacted Target reps a week ago regarding the offending cocktail dress and they removed it from the website -- but not from all of their stores. Now, after a week of dragging their feet, the Minneapolis based retailer is going to have to put their legal team on standby.

In the words of the lawsuit, the Target versions "nearly identically copy the scale, pattern and colorways of DVF's Spotted Frog Design," -- at 1/5 the price. Hells yeah, that's why we shop at Target.

Buy the original
