It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. Frederick Douglass

It's all just shades of Grai...

It’s all just shades of Grai…

Good/ Bad. Right /Wrong. Black/White. Or is it all just shades of gray? While I ponder that over the course of my day, I leave you with an undeniably fabulous shade of … Grai that will always be an appropriate choice! Founded in 2006, Grai was born from the concept of creating the quintessential coat...
Nanushka/ Bloc Party

Nanushka/ Bloc Party

My horoscope was 100% right yesterday. You have no idea! I have to stop reading those things in the morning. Talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy! Hopefully time will be on my side today. Today’s designer is one of my favorites, Nanushka. Nanushka is the childhood nickname of Hungarian fashion designer Sandra Sanor. Established in 2005,...

It’s never good when you wake up in the morning to a horoscope that claims you will spend the day, “picking up the pieces of your shattered calendar.” It’s even worse, when as you read this prediction, you find yourself sitting there trying to figure out how that is different from any other day… Calendars, ...
Blame It On The Rain

Blame It On The Rain

You know what they say, April showers bring May flowers! As much as I may dislike the rain, (mostly due to its frizz-inducing properties), I will take rain over snow any day.  Yesterday LG and I went shopping on Newbury street… she was in the market for, among other things, a cute pair of rainboots....
We are the Robots...

We are the Robots…

I have a list of designers to write about… however I also have a list of things I have to accomplish this morning. Isn’t that always the way? To hold you over, here is one of my favorite new songs, Playboy Tre featuring B.o.B… We Are The Robots. You can download the song from okayplayer!...
Waste Not... Want a lot

Waste Not… Want a lot

Nothing like a little Evacuation Day off to try to get things back on track! In order to spare you from the sordid details of my life, I will skip straight to today’s designer, Mark Liu. Mark is a London-based fashion and textile designer who has focused his career on sustainable and innovative design. In...

Obsession: Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquière

Obsession: Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquière

Okay, so I know I usually feature independent designers here… it’s kind of my thing… but for whatever reason I have become obsessed with Balenciaga’s tights… you know, the ones with built in shoes. I can’t quite figure out why… maybe it’s because I always have such a hard time figuring out what pair of...

Nitin In Shining Armor

  I was having a conversation with a friend the other day… we were talking about how life is easier to manage if you believe that things happen for a reason. The people you meet, the places you go… even the really bad things… they’re all part of the cycle. Sometimes stuff takes years to...
Give/ Get

Give/ Get

  Right. So I know I was supposed to be better about writing this week… but you know how it is… I mean, I feel like I literally blinked and now it’s Friday! Anyway, the reason I’m featuring Lauren Bush’s Feed Bags is because I have literally passed by their display a hundred times in...

I hope you are outside enjoying this gorgeous weekend! I have been super busy lately which is really no excuse not to update the site. Next week should be a little bit easier to deal with than last, and I have an inbox brimming full with great new designers to share. Today’s featured line is...
From Somewhere

From Somewhere

Nothing like a warm breeze from the West Coast to bring a little perspective to thing (yes, that is a reference to slowgame). Anyway, as you may or may not know New England is digging out from yet another Nor’easter. Once again, I found myself standing in the middle of he road, dressed head to...
