WEEK OF 10/3 UPDATE. And Heads will roll. With the madness almost over, Target’s executive vice-president and chief marketing officer Michael Francis announced his resignation, per WWD today. His job? To oversee all of Target’s marketing and advertising and the store’s website. Week of 9/19 UPDATE: Buyers are definitely not going to get all they […]
“Color Blocking” is one of the year’s hottest trends, and it’s a full blown style category (like neutrals or prints) for fall, winter and even resort 2012. It’s also super practical, since you can pull this trend together with separates and/or with accessories – and then wear those pieces differently when the look is […]
Jean Shorts have been super hot all summer, now that the temps actually are super-hot, something a bit skimpy & denim is perfect to keep you looking cool. (here’s a recent post of ours on the JORT & JWEATS phenom)
Try to keep an open mind. Try calling them something else besides “rompers” if that’s too Lolita for you. Think of these as a refreshing alternative to the mini dress. They will give you the same Legs For Days, but with a decidedly new twist. Rompers go in one of two directions: The first […]
Maxi’s are a little bit like love. As in……Opposites attract……Anything Goes……Sometimes it works when you least expect it. (that last one is for all you under 5’4″ practicing maxi-celibacy). However, dating advice is another blog. As for wearing a maxi dress or maxi skirt, here are our tips: 1. Loose flowy bottoms often look best […]
If we actually see you in any of these, we will have to disown you. Still, inquiring minds want to know. JORTS. Actually, these are just jean shorts. Experiencing quite the renaissance this summer. Fine for any girl under 40 and under 140 lbs. in our view. Not fine at all for any hetero-man, any […]
As a rule, I find bright colored clothing too darn perky for my taste. Just too hap-hap-happy and ain’t-she-sweet-sunny. I have two bright cardi’s, and no matter how many times I try them on, I can’t pull it off unless it’s a pool party or summer picnic. This season’s brights had me more than a […]
In this economy, with so many shops closing shop, I often get asked…how is Capitol doing? And then, how does she (Laura Vinroot Poole) do it? Until today, I had no clue.
This is an easy update and you can find one in every price range. Dillards (click here) and Belk (click here) have whole pages of them here. Some are even on sale at Belk.com. Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Tory Burch, Kooba, Botkier, Coach, any of your favorite designers will have a version. And they aren’t all […]
Derek Lam and Prada sent flat platforms down the runways for s/s11, and the FLATFORM was born. Often with wooden platforms, these shoes are just what they sound like. And I cannot believe what designers will charge for a few straps and a chunk of wood. Can anyone say “Highway Robbery?” If you click the […]
Very sheer black pantyhose. Just replace your black tights or bare legs with a pair of super sheer blacks and count yourself in the know. Even Tim Gunn is on the bandwagon, in his recent Marie Claire column. Wear your sheer black legs with anything, obviously at night but also with daytime looks. Paring with […]
You know, I’m sure, that camel is HUGE this fall. (see our post on this from last spring). It seems to me that one of the easiest ways to shop this trend is to head to the JCrew catalogue or their online store. Otherwise, this mixing of hues and textures of camel & caramel could […]
