It’s weird how the smallest things can split people. We’ve had the Obama vs. Hilary debate a hundred times with our friends, disagreed with tons of them, and managed to move onto another discussion in seconds. The same thing happens with talk about war, about religion, about whether the Sex and the City movie will [...]

It’s that time of year again when you want to wear the Spring ’08 stuff… but you can’t, unless you have a town car, or a permanent residence near the equator. It’s times like these when girls resort to layering, a phenomenon that can either be chic or disastrous. It’s cool when someone slips a [...]

We set out to find the perfect etched mirror for our new apartment this weekend, but ended up trying on the new Rag & Bone collection instead. Their tailored white tuxedo vest, with ivory trim and a halter neck, was a painfully tempting purchase. The salesperson pointed out that it’s the one Kate Bosworth wears [...]

We’ve struggled with this question for a while now. The word “corset” usually makes us think of the word “tacky”. But this spring, when everyone’s wearing their underwear as outerwear, we wonder if we’ll be seeing tiny, laced waists and heaving breasts walking past us on the street. Women’s Wear Daily profiles Mr. Pearl today, [...]

When we saw that the Guardian was making a case for the male jumpsuit (it’s as quick and simple as women’s day dresses, they say) we thought they had a good point. When we saw that the Daily Telegraph was challenging women to make a jumpsuit work, we thought it was a little Project Runway. [...]

Someone recently asked me if I ever change my look, hair and make-up speaking. I was a little taken aback until I realized that I really don’t – I’ve been doing the “natural” thing my whole life, using only neutral makeup. So I decided to make a few changes: First, inspired by Marni’s runways, I [...]

A dickie, (no giggles, please), is a sweater or dress with a removable collar and cuffs. It gives the illusion of wearing a blouse underneath an outer layer without suffering the inevitable bunch up. We thought dickies were for another generation, as in they’ve never really seemed fashion forward. A couple of months ago, we [...]

The Wall Street Journal got us thinking this morning (did we just type that aloud?) about the often discussed interview outfit – what’s appropriate where, and the great continental divide between what you wear to a job interview in fashion, and what you wear everywhere else. When first looking for a job, myriad people (all [...]

At the bottom of our old Caboodle lives a massive jar of MAC Silver Dusk, (a legitimate must-have from high school). We unearthed it this weekend for the first time in years, despite second thoughts of looking too “junior-high”. We swept some across our eyelids and cheekbones, mostly because we were sick all of last [...]

As WWD reported yesterday, there have been a lot of celebrities spotted in glasses as of late. The first to really set things off was Cate Blanchett, who was photographed wearing thick black frames out to the theatre. Then, we saw Helena Christensen and Daisy Lowe sporting their own pairs, and when we spotted a [...]

Last night’s Gossip Girl included a wardrobe choice that we’ve been pondering since we first booked our New Year’s flight to Florida earlier this year – the bathing suit. Instead of the standard tied-at-the-sides, red and pink hibiscus print bikini, Serena derobed poolside to reveal the more modest choice of a navy one-piece. We weren’t [...]

Two weeks ago, I cut off all my hair. The good news – at least for some of you commenters – is that I no longer look like “a rabbit with curls.” The bad news is, it was pretty terrifying, and now I have to figure out how to style it without looking like I [...]
