[Pilcro & The Letterpress cords (Anthropologie) + vintage Key West t-shirt + vintage squash blossom + Jeffrey Campbell fringed booties. Photos courtesy Lizzie Oglesby!] Noted while riding bike this morning down Monument Avenue: old man on sidewalk with hands in pockets, standing stock still, surveying successful set up of sprinkler unit jackhammering away in his [...]

I would live in this. Rachel Zoe’s new collection popped up on ShopBop today and it doesn’t disappoint. I spy some glorious flares and tie-neck blouses. And as I would have hoped from her, there’s enough serious RZ vibes coming across that this probably won’t be universally dug on; anything other way would have seemed [...]

While design*sponge’s “Living In” features make me want to sort of live in movies as a rule, if I really had to pick one movie to live inside, it’d be On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. I am sort of a Bond spazz in general—don’t get me started on the John Barry scores—but Diana Rigg’s wardrobe [...]

Emilio Pucci Fall 2010, all images courtesy Style.com. My favorite look from the collection: I love the palette of this collection, like a beautiful bruise—a really nasty, purple one with yellow-green edges. If this is brutal, nose-shattering assault to the face, I’ll take it. The look on the left would be perfect for me, in [...]

How I’m dressing this fall, head to toe: Ralph Lauren’s “bohemian gypsy” looks from the Fall 2010 show knocked my proverbial beanie off. Turtlenecks under long dresses? (See: Vena Cava.) Genius. It’s like Candice Bergen-cum-Stevie Nicks, who coincidentally was the soundtrack to this show. [All images courtesy style.com]

[Gap gingham shirt + Current/Elliott Elephant Bell Jeans + old old cowboy boots + vintage Vietnam-era jacket of Rob's, previously belonging to a Mr. Underhill.] Two areas of discussion today. First would be a Splurge v. Steal find so all you cats can hurry out and snag this shirt before it’s sold out. I’ve had [...]

So I made Rob go to the only dance club in Saratoga late last night—Thirteen. The absurdity of the situation was not lost on us, I assure you—after just having polished off roughly $40 of rare cheeses and a bottle of Tinta de Toro, to a soundtrack of John Coltrane and Robert Johnson. We don’t [...]

Not that there’s ever really a time when we’re not all completely fascinated with Paris, but I feel like—at least here in blog land, on the outskirts of the fashion community, adoring onlookers we are—it’s come to a head lately. Maybe it’s the steady rise of Garance’s fabulous live-from-les-Jardins coverage on her blog, helped by [...]

She was all over the place this season! While not quite as dead-ringer-ish as Gucci Fall RTW ’08 (best. ever.), I was getting vibes from her all over the runways. I imagined her giggling into her Mongolian fur-trimmed coat collar at the shows this February, with fingers covered in rings and a pocket full of [...]

[70s jewelry designers, Alex & Lee courtesy style.com.] Groov-normous! Fringe-adelic! Look at these dudes.

SHUT UP. Must possess: [Gucci 90's-era column dress, $294 @ VagabondNYC.com] Tom Ford, people.

[Ages-old Billy Blues belted skirt + Torn by Ronny Kobo vest + JCrew henley + Prada boots.] I love this skirt, but it also must be noted that it is the loudest garment I own. I sounded like I was beating carpets with a broom when I walked.
