When we first heard that Anna Dello Russo would be designing an ‘over-the-top accessories collection‘ for H&M, we immediately thought, “Well, this is absolutely worth lining up for. Just tell us when and where and we’ll be there, credit cards ready!” The past few H&M collaborations have had us salivating but unfortunately we missed out on Marni, skipped Versace and only snagged a few accessories from Lanvin. But this one is a can’t-miss, won’t-miss (using our Diddy voice). Anna Dello Russo is known for her over-the-top style and personality, so...  Read More..

Further fueling the relationship rumors, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were spotted out on several ‘dates’ this weekend in NYC. While out for ice cream, the pair wore leather – Kanye in all black including a leather trench, leather pants and a black tee paired with white/cement grey Air Jordan sneakers. Kim wore a casual-yet-glam, hi-low look of a grey sweatshirt with shoulder detail, from H&M, paired with leather leggings, a gold cuff, a Celine taupe leather ‘Luggage Phantom’ square tote and Christian Louboutin Unbout Illusion pumps. See more photos of the couple’s...  Read More..

I try to avoid impulse shopping by going into a store already knowing what I want/need to buy, or waiting a few days to decide if I truly want/need it. And when I can’t stop obsessing over something in my head, it becomes a must-have. Such was the case with this striped J. Crew shirt and this neon/fluoro/hot pink Celine Leather Luggage Tote. I first saw the bag online on Savannah Brinson (Lebron’s fiancee). I own an olive green/black version of the bag and love it, and pink is my favorite color so naturally I had to have it, and finally managed to track one down. The color is several...  Read More..

There are those fashion essentials you need, and there are those you simply want. And there are those that fit into both categories. I never in my life thought I’d need or want metallic gold jeans, yet they appeared on Zara.com a few months ago and suddenly I both wanted and needed them badly. Once they arrived, I wondered, “What does one wear with gold jeans?” Well, here’s the answer: What I wore: Sunglasses: Versace (gifted) (get a similar pair here), Yellow cardigan/sweater: Unknown (gifted) (buy a similar version here), Long-sleeved tee: H&M, Link necklace: Ben-Amun...  Read More..

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. Sure they get the basic job done – carrying your stuff – but I need one that looks good too! So when the folks at Knomo contacted me about ‘test-driving’ one of their chic laptop bags, I...  Read More..

Is it just us, or does the start of every new season, or New Year or even new month give you an excuse to buy a new handbag? No – it’s just us you say? Ok, well then please don’t judge us. But since we’re virtually on the verge of Spring (yes, we know it’s still a few months away), we’re already visually snapping up must-have bags to buy. Like this Rocco e Dante Firenze Satchel. It comes in red, purple and chocolate Italian calfskin – we prefer the purple – and we just adore the boxy shaped satchel paired with a dainty curved top handle that fits perfectly in the...  Read More..

Just a few weeks ago, the weather was just perfect – sunny and balmy outside. It certainly didn’t feel like Fall or Winter. I took these pics while visiting Baltimore Harbor on a gorgeous day, filled with strolling by the water and eating tons of crabs. Yum. A blazer is my usual go-to piece for between-seasons weather – you know, when a coat is too much but you still need a light covering? I paired it with a lightweight top by BB Dakota and these super comfortable DvF moto pants that are simply perfect for long distance travels. These Kelsi Dagger flat gladiator sandals are my...  Read More..
