To say I was impressed by Banana’s spring/summer collection would be an overstatement. Yet what it lacks in originality it makes up for in breezy classics that exude that effortless style. That aesthetic is best expressed in variated denim with deconstructed finishes and streamlined fits,  lightweight khaki in the form

Blondie’s 1983 video for “Rapture”, in which Debra Harry fancies herself a rap lyricist, could be considered corny by today’s standards. Her outfit, however, would look just as good now as it did over 20 years ago. Considering fashion is now deep in an 80’s revival, the look can be

What’s better than a tote bag’s worth of free beauty samples, allowing one to bypass the beauty aisle at Duane Reade for at least a month or two? A tote bag’s worth of free beauty samples and liquor. Hard liquor. Free, hard liquor. And of course some cheese on a

Rucci killed it this season, delivering nothing less than stellar for his upcoming spring collection. Besides this being my first fashion show at the tents, I was beyond impressed by Rucci’s Japanese-inspired interpretation of elegant eveningwear. Every piece that floated down the runway was infused with a delicate balance of

In celebration of their 13th Anniversary, Vogue Korea decided to do not one, not two, but THREE separate covers featuring members of the League of Extraordinary Supermodels. Legends Naomi, Claudia and Eva manage to look unmistakably stunning, not to mention ageless, doing what they do best.

What initially caught my attention about this dress is how simply sexy it is–it’s skimpy without being desperately slutty. And even though it has that early 90’s, Contempo Casuals vibe, one can easily bring it up to date lest you wind up looking painfully literal. My suggestion? Make it high

Celebrity clothing lines are a dime a dozen nowadays, having become so unreasonably commonplace that it might be safe to say you’re not a real star unless you manage to churn out one (though you couldn’t even dress yourself without the help of a professional). I’ll be the first to

My ambivalence toward Amber Rose, whose overnight celebrity is as capricious as her taste in clothing, was beginning to wane until I came across this recent pic of her leaving Villa Lounge in West Hollywood last weekend. I say, “do you”, but I can’t help but wonder why anyone would

Though an archaic pastime, the Polaroid picture has become as ubiquitously cool as Ray-Bans, as I’m sure every hipster is keenly aware of. So I don’t know if Colin O’Dowd’s vinyl-framed, true-to-size design capitalizes on, or pays homage to America’s favorite instant photo. Nonetheless, this 107×8mm mirror is clever and

I love, love, love this dress…besides the fact that it’s grey, the unstructured and simplistic design is to die for. I also love how its complimented by bold accessories: smoky eyes, chunky bracelets, daring open-toe lace up booties, and a simple black clutch. I could definetely see myself wearing this

No matter how hard you try, functional compartmentalization will never be fashionable. Furthermore, is it really too much to go out of your way and use pockets? A small purse, perhaps? The Cap-Sac was created to alleviate such inconveniences and is basically an even lamer reincarnate of that horrifying phenomenon,

As of late I’ve become a gray junkie. My affinity for this humble neutral has resulted in an excess of gray pieces in the form of t-shirts, tanks, blouses, hoodies, jeans, shoes and so on. So imagine my elation after discovering Rescue Beauty Lounge’s Concrete Jungle—a matte, heather gray lacquer

The last time I saw a ring/watch combo was probably around the 6th grade when they were considered a cheap novelty, were most likely to be found in one of those grocery store bubble gum machines and, 9 times outta 10, didn’t actually tell time. But after coming across these

While rapper T-Pain has the gall to sport a 10-pound, 197-karat, $410,000 chain, I hang my head in shame. Really?? When the nouveau riche run amok, they make fools of us all. I hope he gets a herniated disc from wearing that shit.

Little Hermoine goes from Hogwarts to haute couture as the face of Burberry’s fall 2009 campaign. This is a first for 19-year old Emma, as this is her first major modeling gig, and I must say she does well for a novice. Shot by Mario Testino in central London, Emma

For the Fresh Air Fund Gala in New York this past weekend, Michelle looked relaxed and radiant in a white and gold-studded Phillip Lim dress, Jimmy Choo sandals and YSL clutch. With her simple hairstyle, fresh makeup, low-key accessories she doesn’t overdo it, allowing this uniqely designed dress be the

These custom totes from Sea Bags are made from recycled sails that have literally been around the world and back. Stylish as they are sturdy, each bag is designed and inspired by the sail itself with authentic, hand-spliced rope handles and maritime motifs. Suitable for both everyday wear or heavy-duty

I absolutely adore this unusual twist on a summer staple. When the weather gets warm, espadrilles are hard to miss especially when they look like this. This fabulous, fashion-forward peep-toe bootie/espadrille wedge combo is the perfect spring accessory and will definetlely add some zest to any outfit. Case in point:

Or when nobody’s checking for you and all you’ve got to your credit is a few forgettable magazine spreads and a catchy-turned-kitschy song, dress yourself in lame, impractical costumes that will inevitably catch someone’s attention and allow you to cling to your 15 minutes of fame just a little bit

We all know the frustration of applying five coats of nailpolish WITH a topcoat only to have it peel away three days later, and paying upwards of $20 bucks for a salon job just to be met with the same deterioation. If you’re like me and you love to decorate

Influenced by minimalist architecture and west coast nonchalance, designer James Perse continues to expand his line of subtle, casual basics, most notably, sumptuous t-shirts and tanks. In his most recent collection, Perse sticks to a high fashion, low-maintenance philosophy, creating luxe, high-quality thin-cotton v-necks, scoop necks, fitted tank tops, tunics

So, apparently if you’re a model that does coke she’ll let you slide. But naked photos floating around the internet? You can kiss your spread goodbye. According to reports, Rihanna, who was lined up to do a covershoot for Vogue magazine, was snubbed by Anna Wintour thanks to some salacious,

Now that watching Sex and the City reruns on TBS has become a regular habit of mine, I’ve come to notice something that somehow escaped me the first time around. Maybe it was the glamour and allure of the New York City backdrop, but, besides the fact that Carrie is

She would probably look like this, minus the bizarre hairdo. An Anna Wintour bob perhaps? No…Barbie would scoff at such drabness. Elle magazine’s creative director Joe Zee give her the devil wears prada makeover, trading tacky Toys “R” Us collections for something more au courant–Balenciaga peacoat, Chanel bag, Hermes scarf,
