Fashion Victims or Fashion Visionaries?
 No matter what, both Sarah Jessica Parker and Mary-Kate Olsen always set the fashion world abuzz with their outfit choices, and never seem to apologize for their mis-steps. Case in point? The latest get-ups that the two were photographed .........

Pretty Ponies: Playing with Pastels
 In an attempt to temporarily escape the stress and reponsibilities of adult life, I am turning to a most beloved childhood toy. Not for some kind of twisted juvenile comfort, but for style inspiration, of course. Yes, I intend to drift through the monotony of grown-up life this spring in a colour palette derived entirely from My Little Pony. .........

New Fashion Territory: Art Purses
 You probably haven’t heard of Kathleen Dustin. I hadn’t even heard of her until a few days ago, when a friend of mine who knows that I’m always looking for interesting takes on fashion passed along her website to me.
ASCII curtains let you get geeky with home decor
 Take a look at the curtain above. You are probably thinking - on a perfectly sunny day, perhaps the tree behind cast its shadow over the curtain, giving it the beautiful breezy look, right? Wrong. Take a look at the picture .........
Ballerina Fashionista!
 Contrary to what the magazines would have you believe, there is a way to float through Spring’s romance-spun reverie withough having to overload your garden with never-ending floral prints. A new production of ballerina chic is a vision of femininity restrained, of a restricted softness that can render its wearer an honoury member of the Ballet Russes. .........
We are Eco-Warriors!
 Going green might be old news in the fashion world, but it''s having an effect on high-end designers and British high street brands as we speak. More than a year after making headlines in the tabloids and broadsheets, Eco-Fashion is still a very hot topic. .........
Check Bucket Bag
 Today, I spotted the Burberry Patchwork Check Bucket Bag. I consider this handbag to be a bit too exaggerating. Burberry attempted to give the signature checkered pattern a nice twist, but personally, I''m not really feeling it. I can''t imagine myself carrying this one bag around town. No offense Burberry, but this patchwork bag looks like a total knockoff! Why the irregular pattern? Isn''t an uneven pattern a major red flag when distinguishing an authentic Burberry bag over a fake bag? In my preferences, I certainly wouldn''t buy an authentic Burberry bag containing such an obvious uneven .........
The Jacquelyn Bag
 Anyway, for those of you that are not familiar with Junior Drake, here is a little background info quoted from the Junior Drake .........
Project Runway Season 4 Finale
 Alas! the winner of Project Runway was crowned last night. The collections that the final three designers showcased at Bryant Park were the strongest out of all of the seasons of the show thus far. .........
Miu Miu Woven Leather Hobo Bag
 One of the latest new additions is the Miu Miu woven fringe hobo. The hobo is dressed in a woven pattern body and features double trails of fringe down each side. Not as dramatic as Miu Miu''s distant relatives version* - Prada''s Nappa Weave Flap Hobo. Still I have never been a fan of tassel fringe. I would get the urge to pull out the scissors and start snipping away. Or at least avoid this bag all together. What do you guys think? A hit or .........
Insprired by nature
 A big trend showing up on the runways is all things nature inspired. Alexander McQueen did an entire headdress made out of butterflies but you don't have to go that far. Think gauzy fabrics to replicate the delicateness of a butterfly's wing. Think adding a rose broach or a piece with a few feathers on it. Try a t-shirt made from organic cotton or even jus something as simple are an earth tone palette. This trend is very much open to your .........
The scientific basis for red being the color of love
 The Beauty Brains, as part of their series of posts leading up to Valentine''s Day, discuss the possibility of a scientific reason behind the color red as the symbol of love. According to an article in NewScientist, our ability to see colors may have evolved to help us spot emotional cues, such as blushing in the context of mating. Prior research had suggested that humans developed the acute ability to see colors in order to identify ripe fruit and edible leaves, but a new study now points to our need/desire to access a potential mate''s emotions as the driving force behind this .........
Comfy laptop bag and carry-all
 You''re a laptop lugger - your computer is nearly an extra appendage, so you place a price on functionality, fashion, and comfort. Nanda Home''s redesigned Persida LapSac fits laptops of differing sizes (12.78"x9.1"x1.08"). .........
Century 21, the store, not real estate
 Ahhhh, Century 21, a staple of NYC fashion. Where the slogan is, "Prices so good, you'll fight for them!" and they aren't lying!! I have a love/hate relationship with this store, but it is one you should definitely visit when you come to NYC. It is a unique experience which can turn into somewhat of a treasure hunt if you play your cards right. Today I found Diane von Fürstenberg wrap dresses for $100- $135 dollars!! I suggest you set aside a few hours for this place, digging is necessary, but you won't be .........
East meets West for 2008 Pirelli Calendar
 We spent half the morning on Pirelli’s website checking out images from their 2008 calendar and we still cant get enough. We love the fact that they took a demure approach this year, in contrast to past calendars which have been more overtly sexual. The calendar was shot in Shanghai by Patrick Demarchelier who did a brilliant job. The use of colour is absolutely .........

Expiration dates.
 Everything has an expiration date, including clothes. Just because you can still fit into it, doesn't mean you should keep it around. Have you seen the commercial on TLC where the woman is like, "I can't believe this still fits" and she is wearing an awful yellow blazer with huge shoulder pads? Yeah, you shouldn't keep anything around for too long, unless it has sentimental value, they by all means keep it, but don't wear it outside. Cut it up and sow it into a pillow if you must. Every 6 months you should re-evaluate your closet and toss everything you haven't .........
