  Combat Couture Couture, Hot Designer, Streetwear | (2)

  There's nothing like waking up on a gorgeous summer morning, knowing you have the day off. I think I'm going to get highlights. I'm still debating what to do for the 4th. As much as I'd like to do the Cape thing I just don't think I'm up for the traffic battle. Plus, I move into my new place on the 6th so there is still much packing to be done. Speaking of battles, I'm sure traffic and everything is going to be crazy in the city this weekend. The whole thing reminds me of my post a couple days ago about ...

  Lovers and Thieves Couture, Dresses/ Party, Eco-Couture | (0)

  "And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees-- just as things grow fast in the movies-- I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer."* I spent half of the weekend relaxing. I decided to re-read The Great Gatsby* for like, the millionth time (I still blame books like this for my warped and unrealistic sense of love and romance) and enjoyed some wonderful dinners and good conversation. I spent the other half the weekend packing, which was annoying because I have too much stuff. How many pairs ...

  Filly-Style Couture, Dresses/ Party, Eco-Couture | (0)

  My life is in boxes right now... only a couple of weeks till the big move! Today is going to be an impossible day at work, so I'll keep the post short and sweet. Filly Designs is a small clothing company dreamed up by designer, Emily. Her designs combine bold sweeping shapes with old-world flirtation. They're beautiful, simple, functional and versatile. The line started "kinda accidentally." Emily dropped out of law school and was working as a bicycle messenger in her home town of Santa Cruz, California. One afternoon she made a pair of overalls on my partner’s old Kenmore ...

  Skin and Threads Couture, Eco-Couture | (1)

  Obviously, you were all tuned in to last night's historic event. I was born cynical, however, I must admit all of this is pretty amazing. As always, I'll leave it to the political bloggers to write about the historical magnitude of it all... I'll also leave it to them to write about how ridiculous Hilly is being... I plan on having all of those conversations at some point today, but let's face it, you're here for fashion not to hear me rant. This morning, your daily dose of fashion comes from Skin and Threads. An understanding of organic ...

  The Katz Out of the Bag Couture, Dresses/ Party, Eco-Couture | (1)

  After a weekend of relaxation, Sex and the City (of course I saw it, and kudos to Bag Borrow or Steal for the major shout out!), and yummy Bellinis, yet another work week looms before me. At least it's the first week of the month, which means several cool Friday celebrations, including the traditionally fun First Friday event at the MFA, for those of you in Boston. Anyway, I thought Emily Katz's sustainable and elegantly practical collection would be a perfect way for you to start off your week. Using fabrics like recycled denim, soy jersey, and organic fleece, Emily's ...

  Great Aidah! Couture, Dresses/ Party, Hot Designer | (0)

  Aidah Fontenot is a talented lady. Not only does she make a mean piece of couture, she's well versed in graphic design, photography, and fine art! Her new Etsy shop features her Aidah Collection, a sexy, elegant, relaxed line of one of a kind pieces. Her line is inspired by art and nature and is designed to enhance your natural curves. I plan on making several trips to the Cape this summer and Aidah's designs are perfect for a relaxing day by the ocean . . . she also has some beautiful gowns (like the Amber gown) for those ...

  Couture SANS Guilt Couture, Dresses/ Party, Eco-Couture, Hot Designer | (0)

  Everyone knows that everyone needs to do more to reduce their environmental footprint. We get it. We do what we can . . . we buy organic products, we use canvas bags instead of plastic and we try to shop at places that care. One thing that's kind of annoying about the whole "green movement" is the in-your-face aspect of it . . . I mean, I guess some people need a constant reminder to be eco-friendly, but you have to admit some people are over-kill. They drive up to you in their Pruis, step out in a green ...

  Khan Me Couture | (1)

  A girl can dream of parties. . . especially those summer affairs that last into the wee hours of the night. I fell in love with Naeem Khan's Gold Draped Front V-Neck Dress the moment I saw it, and at this point I'm about to plan a party just so I have an excuse to wear it out. Born in India, designer Naeem Khan cultivated his style under the watchful eyes of his father and grandfather... both of whom designed intricate and luxurious clothes for royal families and other socialites in his native country! Naeem moved to the US ...
