As a writer/editor, I need my tech tools with me at all times – like my laptop for writing and editing, my iPhone for Tweeting and Facebooking, and my camera for street style and fashion snaps and cords to connect them all. So despite always carrying around large handbags, I need a separate one for tech stuff. Despite the many options, most tech bags just aren’t that cute.

So when the folks at Knomo contacted me about ‘test-driving’ one of their chic laptop bags, I...  Read More..

Last year I told you about Timberland’s new line of fashionable, eco-friendly and all-weather appropriate Earthkeepers boots. I recently received a black pair of the Women’s Earthkeepers® Rudston Waterproof Pull-On Boots for review. The boots were perfect for the transition from Summer to Fall – made of a lightweight yet rugged waterproof leather and a soft and breathable mesh lining. The style is versatile enough to wear with everything from a pair of jeans to a dress, and the leather-wrapped 2.5 inch heel of was just the perfect height to walk around comfortably, all day...  Read More..

Brian Atwood has achieved mass shoe designer fame, with everyone who’s anyone sporting his Maniac pumps on red carpets everywhere. But there’s a new Brian Atwood line in town – B Brian Atwood, shoes designed for his “soon-to-be-customers – ‘B Girls’“, who he says “encapsulate what it means to be a global fashion nomad: a mix of femininity, sexuality, curiosity and power.” The new contemporary line will be available August 25 and will ooze just as much sex appeal as his designer line.

Back in November, I was invited by Lucky Magazine to a Sorel-sponsored ‘sips, sweets and shopping’ event at Olive & Bette’s. There I sipped champagne, noshed on mini apple pop tarts direct from a mobile toaster, and had the opportunity to meet with Sorel representatives to preview the styles in their winter line. I’d seen Sorel boots before but never owned a pair, much less tried them on, but I did at the store and they felt like heaven! The boots, made of leather, suede, rubber and faux fur, are some of the most comfortable pieces of footwear I’ve ever placed...  Read More..

To me, the best things about winter ski trips are the ski fashion, and relaxing with drinks in the lodge. Going skiing is the perfect excuse to sit inside sipping tasty cocoa or bubbly, or hit the slopes donning cutesy trapper hats, chic snow jackets and glasses and the cutest winter boots. So this partnership is particularly sweet. To celebrate Clicquot in the Snow (Veuve Clicquot‘s annual celebration of winter), the champagne brand has partnered with DKNY to create a limited-edition rubber snow boot.
