Tod’s Coupe Pump [ShoeBlitz - Shoe Fashions]

Tod’s Coupe Pump [ShoeBlitz - Shoe Fashions]

I’m not normally fond of canvas dress shoes, but these heels are very cute.

The Tod’s Coupe Pump combines the canvas upper with pewter leather trim. The peep-toe and it’s little tie detail are very cute. The stacked heel of the shoe has a unique shape and some other interesting details.

These designer shoes from Tod’s are priced at $425 from Sak’s Fifth Avenue. They are a very nice alternative to other taupe or neutral shoes.

The Most Perfect V-Day Present Ever

The Most Perfect V-Day Present Ever

We want to say that for once, we were totally all over this—Fred Flare brought it back from the UK for Valentine’s Day, and we first wrote about it in July! This is like a one-time-only victory, basically, but we’ll take what we can get. In any case, it’s unbelievably excellent—tragically now sold out at FF, but available for only $15 at Amazon UK. (Er, plus shipping.) Our caveat: it is exceedingly (if wonderfully) lovey-dovey, so possibly stressful for new-ish relationships.

Some Freeman Words

Some Freeman Words
If I’m honest, Hadley Freeman was probably the one fashion journalist that I recognisably teen-ed out with (i.e. spent my 16-present years reading) due to the sole existence of Guardian in our house (she’s deputy fashion editor there) and her articles in Vogue which always caught my attention and held it.  Later on, it was her in-depth writing in 10 magazine which once again confirmed my opinion that this is a woman that can laugh at fashion and all it’s ridiculous notions but also not be too overly-gobby about it at the same time.  Her book ‘The Meaning of Sunglasses’ does just that in even greater detail.  Its basic structure is an A-Z of fashion, A guide to (almost) all things fashionable, which of course is not meant to be taken literally.

The target readership of this book really sort of dictates why the book was written in the first place.  Freeman tries to explain the myths and the oddities about fashion, defending it from the very beginning with a conclusion that despite all the ridiculous elements of fashion, it is essentially still fabulous and somewhat of a necessity.  Meaning, this isn’t a book for those who are in love with fashion but for those who wish to be enlightened and can then make their own opinion about all things fash.

Fabulous Valentine’s Day Sale—With Discount Code!

If you are of the persuasion, and allow us to stress that (a) we will be spending Valentine’s Day doing nothing that we would, at a distance, find very annoying, and (b) we find the whole thing to be rather an annoyingly obvious marketing ploy, and (c)—er, enough disclaimers. If you find yourself buying jewelry this Valentine’s Day, we could hardly recommend anyone as much as we do Maya Brenner. 25% off with discount code VDAY.

Our holiday-correct pick, above: the heart locket necklace, was $185, with discount code, $138.75

Green, But Not With Envy

Green, But Not With Envy
I awoke yesterday to the realization that, having neglected my self-tanning routine for quite some time, my skin was a frightful shade of pale.

(And I am not talking “alabaster” or “porcelain,” people, I am talking pasty white, ill-looking, and translucent to the point that even the tiniest little capillary was visible.)

darker.

February 8th, 2008 by admin

other than when i was a wee little thing, the first time i wore white in any true capacity in my adult life, was at my wedding this past summer. had it been appropriate to wear something by vera wang that wasn’t my very simple wedding dress, i would have opted for one of the looks showcased in her 2008 fall collection.

that dark and broody thing, is much more my style…

We can’t decide: Who will be our French style icon! Carla?

Or Carine?

Really, this is our way of asking ourselves: middle part, or bangs?
