Breakfast... on your finger (The Bag Lady)

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 16:10:00 GMT

Gives new meaning to the expression "finger buffet", no? You know I'm a fan of the whimsical accessory, but this is a bit much even for me. I mean, much as I love a cooked breakfast (and I really do),...

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 15:14:00 GMT

Graffiti me up. (Shoe Blog)

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 17:48:59 GMT

The last time I mentioned Graffiti and the current graphics trend in shoe adornment, the shoe silhouette itself (Platform wedge) definitely fell under the “Funky and Chunky” category. If you are attracted to this type of edgy detail in your footwear, but prefer more classic or feminine designs, the following styles are in much more traditional shoe shapes and [...]

YAY OR NAY: Miu Miu nappa leather patch tote (The Bag Lady)

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 12:33:00 GMT

Taupe bags, for the most part, look elegant and chic and have the added benefit of being able to pair up with almost anything you already own in your wardrobe. But unfortunately, taupe can also look blah too if the bag is not quite right. This Miu Miu leather patch tote feels like it could be teetering in between these two points and so I put it to you to tell me what the verdict should be. Blah and...

BAG COUSINS? Marc by Marc Jacobs silver bow clutch and Valentino's silver bow clutch (The Bag Lady)

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 11:57:30 GMT

Silver, metallic, bows - these two clutches have more than a few things in common. However, while the Valentino clutch holds on to a certain elegance, the Marc by Marc Jacobs one is looks like it could be a makeshift mosquito net. Just distant rellies then perhaps?

How much do you love your iPod? (The Bag Lady)

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 11:09:00 GMT

Or, more specifically, your iPod's earbuds? I have, in the past, accused my husband of loving his iPod more than he loves me, so, if he was a woman (and therefore not my husband, but never mind), I'd be recommending...

Consider me confused. (Shoe Blog)

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 17:53:40 GMT

What is this Hot Mess'??!!! Luichiny’s Riley for $138.60 at Zappos & $150 at Shoes.com. Honestly, I mean no offense to anyone whose heart swoons when they see these babies.

Wilhelmina Slater's Sergio Rossi bag... not for everyone (The Bag Lady)

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 15:51:22 GMT

Yes, this bag is utterly beautiful, but it's also eel-skin. Yes, eel-skin. While that may well be suitable for Ugly Betty's slippery Wilhelmina, it's not for me. I found the bag on SeenOn! the strangely addictive site for buying stuff...

FOUR GREAT: Stone cluster cocktail rings (The Bag Lady)

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 15:24:00 GMT

Trust Charlize Theron . The girl could be wearing something everyone else (and probably she herself), has been wearing for yonks but somehow she can make whatever it is, look refreshing and new and like we're 50 fashion paces behind her. In this case, it's the pretty stone cluster cocktail ring she was wearing at the Tokyo photocall for Hancock over the weekend, and now I simply have to have one myself!...

GUESS THE OWNER: Donna Karan Modern Leo frame doctor bag (The Bag Lady)

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 12:33:00 GMT

The fact this celebrity is clasping the latest copy of U.S. Vogue as well as Donna Karan's Modern Leo frame doctor bag indicates to me she is one gal who is serious about her fashion. You'll find she is, in my opinion, consistently one of the best dressed women in Hollywood, so I'm not at all surprised she tries to stay well-informed! Who is it? Answer after the jump...

Sole Attraction (Shoe Blog)

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 20:46:54 GMT

I can’t help it, I’m a sucker for all things pretty, romantic, retro, glam, goth; what I think of as fabulous but affordable luxuries. And one thing that I find truly fabulous on a shoe is a sensational sole. The details and attention that show on the top of the shoe have historically received the primary artistic focus. However, when the [...]
