About this time every year, we find ourselves spending an inordinate amount of time day-dreaming about our summer vacations–and even more time fantasizing about what we’ll wear on them. Somehow dressing for vacation is just always more fun than dressing for real life. That being said, it’s often hard to find exactly the right of Read more →

I know, I know. You probably thought we’d be the last site to call out fashion brands for going overboard with the whole cat thing. But even we, the people who conceptualized an entire site dedicated to cats in fashion (for April Fool’s), feel it’s gone a little too far.
Read on for the straight up best spring stuff currently existing in some of our favorite high street stores today.
If T Magazine thinks that Valentino’s buttoned-up spring collection has “wiped out a decade of slut style,” it should take note of this: That midriff baring body-con mini Julia Roberts famously wore when she played a hooker named Vivian in Pretty Woman is back–and it’s a best seller.
Despite its tongue in cheek name and humble beginnings as an eBay store, Nasty Gal has been big business for a number of years now. So much so that it looks like they’ve caught the eye of some big-name investors–including Urban Outfitters.
It might be early to call designer Maggy Schultz a bonafide garmento. But seams seem to run in her genes, as the progeny of a mother who was Mickey Drexler’s right-hand-woman at GAP, and a father who co-founded Urban Outfitters.

We chatted with her about launching her own line, and that time she stood up to Mickey Drexler.

What resulted is an article that, without explicitly stating anything negative about the collection, definitely calls it into question more than we would ever expect from an outlet like Vogue.
I know, I know: It’s not really spring yet. But ever since they replaced the boiler in my building early last week, causing my apartment’s once-frigid temps to soar to a balmy 95 degrees at all times of the day and night, I can’t help but want to pack away my velvet babydolls ’til next November and bring on the florals.
