Magnificant-Mandinka
I just wrote this whole long bit about my crazy life history with various cell phone companies — it was like 3 paragraphs long… I concluded with my undying love and devotion to T-Mobile (who, by the way, totally hooked me up with unlimited calling for $50 a month…) anyway, my computer went haywire for...
Elena Garcia’s EcoCredo!
One of my favorite things about spring and summer is the way the ever-present sun casts a new light on old situations. I think it has something about the sharpness of the rays, the extended hours in the sky and the shadows cast… the culmination of these things can lead to a lot of insight...
JA Better Hold The Line…
TGIF!! I am committed to getting a tan this weekend :). Today’s designer is JAlvo, by Jackie Alvo. A graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC, Jackie’s design aesthetic is inspired by everything she sees, hears, and reads. She translates her life experience into hip, modern, clean designs that work with the fabric’s...
How to Save a… Planet
So, I guess Earth Day was actually yesterday, oops! Whatever… like I said a few days ago, Earth Day is every day, and you know I’m committed to writing about designers who feel the same way. One of my favorites is Frei, by designer Annie Novotny. Her clothes are good for the earth and good...
Loyale to the Environment PLUS 4/22 ONLY 25% OFF and FREE SHIPPING :)
I am obsessed with Aventura for the sole reason their music has gotten me through this transitional New England “spring” period. But for Romeo Santos, I would probably be sitting on a beach somewhere in South or Central America, margarita in hand, responsibilities out the window. Thanks to my over-active imagination and a 20 minute...
Have Mercy! New Brand Alert
Every time I think I have things figured out, things get more complicated. Not in a bad way, in an intriguing sort of way . . . but complicated is complicated and I am definitely a fan of simplicity (contrary to what my current circumstances may suggest)! Good thing fashion is simple! Today’s designer is...
Bon Idée!
It’s all about the little things, right? It’s like… I have always appreciated the grand gestures and extravagant aspects of life, but at the end of the day it’s often the subtle things that often have the greatest effect. You know, that whole “flower growing through a crack in the cerement” thing. Anyway, that’s why...
“Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you”*
What a gorgeous sunny morning! I’ll keep my intro short, otherwise I will go into some long convoluted digression that I’m quite sure you don’t have time for. Today’s designer is Davina Hawthorne, a fashion and textile designer producing cutting-edge clothes for women. Her work combines textiles and fashion and seeks to push the boundaries...
Over-Zelayas for Zelaya
I actually can’t believe that it’s only Tuesday. Not a good sign when it already feels like Friday! Anyway, I actually woke up in a good mood– I think it’s all the sun! Today’s designer is a personal favorite from San Salvador. Zelaya has created a line of clothes, handbags, and accessories that embraces fair...
Writing about JM in the PM
What a nice relaxing weekend! As such, I am sure I’ll be running around like a crazy person tomorrow a.m., trying to pull things together. Best to leave you with Janeane Marie’s creative designs now! She makes fabulous clothing that is both modern and minimal, paying close attention to the small details. I fell in...
You will want to buy a Maya…
I haven’t had much time to be introspective lately. For whatever reason, stuff keeps happening in rapid succession, so I don’t have any time to actually digest things. It’s like, in the very moment I begin to make sense of one situation, a new one emerges that needs my immediate attention and so on and...
Chloe Inspired: Charm School Design
A few months ago (wow, time really does fly) my friends and I went to an Ellie Fund benefit here in Boston. Kate, who always looks beyond fabulous, was wearing this amazing feather headband that I instantly wanted. Lo and behold, a few months later, the ever-fashionable Chloe wrote me from England, raving about the...
