On Our Radar: Sophia Webster
I spend the majority of my days checking out seasoned designers’ collections. While I love to see the evolution of a designer’s work, I especially enjoy being surprised by something out of the ordinary, like a new brand that I know nothing about. That’s exactly what happened to me last week. In between a crazy [...] Continue reading
House Of Lavande Unveils Its Wares
House of Lavande, yes, that vintage store based in Palm Beach, is launching its own jewelry line. After years of collecting vintage jewelry for the store, Tracy Smith, the woman behind the brand, decided it was time to work on her own collection. “As much as I love collecting and curating other vintage jewelry, I [...] Continue reading
On Our Radar: Noir Jewelry earrings
My obsession with earrings as of late doesn’t seem to be fading anytime soon. I started slowly, first experimenting with the trend with the Repossi Berbere earring or my Ca & Lou custom piece. Later, I felt more confident and “upgraded” to bolder and bigger pieces, like these Tory Burch and Jen Kao pieces featured [...] Continue reading

White Out
Memorial Day weekend is finally a few days away, and although I wear white year-round, including during the winter, I especially can’t resist buying new white pieces for summer. It’s my go-to color for warm weather. One of my favorites in my wardrobe is a cotton dress from Jenni Kayne Spring ‘11—I’ve worn it over [...] Continue reading
Cannes Ready
The truth is, I’ll be home in New York this weekend, taking long walks in Central Park and having friends over for a barbecue. But a girl can dream. And where I’d really like to be spending my weekend (and, what the hell, next week) is Cannes.What to pack for the French Riviera? Neon and [...] Continue reading

On Our Radar: Mitchel Primrose
Crocodile was everywhere on the Fall runways. No great surprise, then, to find that the forward-thinking types attending Sydney fashion week are early adopters; Tommy Ton spotted Christine Centenera, for example, wearing a croc choker.It reminded me of several similar pieces from the latest Mitchel Primrose accessory collection. The Los Angeles-based designer launched his line [...] Continue reading
On Our Radar: A Taste For The Tropics
The Fall runways may have left splashy prints largely behind for brocades, dark burgundies, and fur, but with Spring clothes and accessories now in stores, the trend isn’t over yet. After spending the last few weeks up to our elbows in Fall collections preparing the new issue of Style.com/Print, the wilder stuff is a nice [...] Continue reading

Saturday Night At Milk Studios: Alejandro Ingelmo And Ostwald Helgason
I would like to offer a big thanks to Milk Studios for making our lives easier during NYFW. I was able to see four presentations last night, all of which were on the same floor, one room next to the other (and, on such a chilly Saturday night, it was nice not to be running [...] Continue reading
Pre-Fall Jewelry
At the Style.com offices, we have been busy seeing a lot of pre-fall collections, and although it’s one of our busiest times of the year, it’s also one of our favorites. We get to see the designers in a low-key environment, talk to everyone face to face, and discuss what’s ahead for Fall. If the [...] Continue reading

On Our Radar: Longchamp X Mary Katrantzou
For years, I’ve been thinking about getting a Longchamp duffel bag and I couldn’t decide what color to get. Once, while in the Caribbean, I saw a chic French woman carrying a turquoise number, and the minute I arrived back in the city, I tried to purchase it, with no luck—it was no longer available [...] Continue reading

On Our Radar: Ca & Lou Earring
I haven’t been wearing earrings in the past few years, but lately all I want is a new pair. Correction: Although my lovely daughter has been reminding me, “Mommy, you need two earrings, not just one,” a single statement earring is exactly what I am after. After lusting over Gaia Repossi’s Berbère earrings, I [...] Continue reading

Let’s Festa
There’s a Brazilian saying that goes, for a good party, you need a good mix of people. The gathering I attended last night, hosted by Roberto Thompson and Amalia Spinardi at their house in São Paulo and held in my honor, was exactly that. In the group were fashion enthusiasts, designers, editors, and artists, including [...] Continue reading

Duchess Treat: An Outfit For Kate’s Every Christmas Occasion
On our daily scan of the Daily Mail, we noticed a story about Kate Middleton’s dress code for her first Christmas Day at Sandringham House. The Duchess of Cambridge may be required to change up to five times in less than 24 hours—for breakfast, church, lunch, cocktails, and dinner. A schedule like that could put [...] Continue reading
Muses Make The Men
Not even the rain in New York this week stopped a divine crowd from gathering to celebrate the tenth anniversary of jewelry label Faraone Mennella. Divine being just the right word here. Designers Amedeo Scognamiglio and Roberto Faraone Mennella were inspired by Greek mythology for their recent collections, and to spotlight them, picked nine women [...] Continue reading
Fired Up for Spring, with Color at Calvin
I don’t remember seeing so much color in a Calvin Klein show in seasons. The label presented its accessible collection for Spring this week, and while the looks were mostly monotone, they didn’t want for brightness. Skinny jeans came in yellow, shades of coral , red, and aqua, and red suits were paired with contrast [...] Continue reading

But with a newly appointed chief creative officer, LeAnn Nealz, the brand is looking to up its fashion cred—and its first seasonal presentation, held at an NYC mansion last night, suggested that it’s [...] Continue reading
