Found. Love.

I don’t normally shop Victoria’s Secret for shoes but saw these Tassel-tie Platform Booties (in one of the zillion catalogs they send) and loved them. Had to have them in grey. What do you think?

Intstg collaboration from @giltgroupe & @target (opposite of @Rue_la_la & @ELLEmagazine) Fri 8/20 #fashion #brand

Is Target going up market or is Gilt coming down? An interesting collaboration… I wouldn’t have imagined Target’s brands – even the higher-end designer collaborations – as part of the usual “luxury designers and fashion brands” at Gilt. But, as I mentioned earlier this year, with the competition in the “private sale/sample sale” market growing [...]

Michelle Obama’s Inaugural Outfits

There was a lot of chatter about Michelle Obama’s outfits yesterday, as expected. Personally I loved the inaugural dress and matching overcoat designed by Isabel Toledo. I thought the lemongrass color was gorgeous on her, the texture looked season-appropriate and the neckline was elegant and beautiful. And I absolutely adored the coordinating J. Crew green [...]
