FOR HER

Panty by Post – Although this is a Canadian company, it actually started in Paris, which [...]

Is there better, thoroughly classic way of showing your undying love than with a dozen roses? Unfortunately, they last such a short time that they quickly start looking like your ‘dying’ love. Well, here’s a set of dozen roses that will not only live forever but that can also be worn as a LOVEly fashion statement! (OK, we’ll stop with the lovies now).
This String of Roses Silk Scarf is made with 100% natural silk that is weaved on antique looms to weave the richest quality fabric possible. All scarves are handmade and hand-dyed in Vietnam [...]

Gina Balourdas, the artist behind the Lizzy B vintage jewelry line, has been hooked on flea markets and estate sales every since she was a little girl and her parents brought her along on their vintage treasure hunt expeditions.
Today, Gina still gets inspired by found vintage and antique silver. Her canvass for this particular medium is jewelry. She re-purposes vintage silver into one-of-a- kind pieces. Take her silver tray pieces. Each silver tray has its own special characteristics that ‘speak’ and help determine whether the final piece will be a pendant, earrings or beautiful cuff. Her favorite trays include those [...]

As we reported here, Trunk Club, a “mail-order” personal shopping service for men’s clothing is great solution for men who want to look good but hate (or don’t have the time) to shop. But how about us women? It’s – I know! – surprising to admit but many women, even the most coquette amongst us, don’t revel in the shopping experience. Or we simply don’t have the time. In my case, I don’t enjoy the (dreaded) dressing room with the invariably unflattering lighting.
So here’s a fun solution for the woman short on time but high on style: Cakestyle, a “virtual” [...]

Beatrice Holiday has the cutest bike accessories for the biking fashionista and the biking commuter.
We love the matching seat covers and handlebar bikebags that will have you truly be stylin’ as you will be wheelin’. The unique handlebar bag also converts into a beautiful and functional shoulder bag, to keep all your valuables safe, on and off the bike. All are made with vintage upholstery fabrics that suits the look of a beach cruiser, but would also fit on the handlebar of a Baby Stroller, making this also a great gift for new moms.
Beatrice Holiday also designs a stylish line [...]

It is that time of year when we bring you our annual Holiday Gift Guide Series to help you uncover unique, meaningful and simply succulent finds for your gift recipients. Predictably, we will commence with the Gift Guide For Her (one of our favorites) and continue with nine more specialty gift guides this season.
Our theme for this Gift Guide covers both sides of the coin: the party side and the downtime side. Clearly this girl wants to have fun! This has been a tumultuous year filled economic stress, insecurities and the constant calling of all the everyday responsibilities that she [...]

I have a new craving this fall. It’s hitting me hard. I’ll need to satisfy it soon…It’s for a desert boot, with updated styling à la 2011.
FYI, the Desert Boot is now 62 years young. This enduring style with the crepe sole has many fans. My sister and I were among some of the early fans. I remember us both sporting a pair of the “originals” (but we didn’t need to call them that back then…) as little girls and feeling very cool in a tomboyish and powerful sort of way.
And now is the time to revisit the timeless design. [...]

I love to travel. I hate to look like a tourist. Especially in a metropolitan setting (it’s a whole other style discussion if I’m going to trek up and down the Grand Canyon). The ubiquitous camera is the first dead giveaway. And then the shoes. The comfortable, sensible walking shoes. Might as well have TOURIST tattooed in all caps on your forehead, right? You’re with me, I know it. It’s not that I need to wear 3 inch heels when I’m about to take the 3 miles city walking tour. I just don’t want to look… dowdy in my comfortable [...]

We know that it’s a little out of character for us to be focusing on all this wedding planning stuff (see our piece earlier this week on Designing Your Own Wedding) but in our research, we have discovered so many more great wedding related services and products that we couldn’t resist mentioning them as well. So here then for Part II…
Rent It!

Jewelry rental – Now any bride can wear a $75,000 necklace when she makes her grand entrance at her wedding. Check out the Adorn.com of earrings, necklaces and bracelets. Brides simply need to enter the date of the [...]

I haven’t checked the stats, but I’m pretty sure that this has been the gloomiest spring on record. Ever. Which has me craving  technicolor. A little bright spot of color on my feet will change my day. I know it. So, I thought I’d bring you along on my virtual shoe shopping ride so that you may also experience the juiciness that is wanting to adorn your feet.

Dolce Vita Lulu in Magenta Suede:  This flash of pink is sweet but not nauseating. Wear these slip-ons with anything from skirts to pants or shorts. Perfect spot of color to put a [...]
