Last week, WWD took my breath away by putting this Oscar de la Renta bridal gown on its cover. Imagine the reaction you’d get walking down the aisle in that! Fabulous. I’d love to design a matching engagement ring or wedding band. Follow Oscar de la Renta’s Twitter feed at @OscarPRGirl.

Gorgeous blogger Jac of Dirty Shiny Pretty was checking out her fashion horoscope on Honestly … WTF when she realized that the Leo illustration was wearing a red version of my blue, cropped and ruffled Junya Watanabe motorcycle jacket. (Apparently, Capricorns like me should be wearing Givenchy. I could live with that!) I wanted to [...]

Gorgeous designer/blogger Stacy Lomman presented her Fall 2012 collection on February 16. The “Modern World” looks of this collection — her fourth — were inspired by ’60s Mod, especially Courrèges, who is a longtime fashion hero of Stacy’s. But the styles weren’t costume-like or vintage-looking. They’re modernized Mod, if you will. Here, let Stacy tell [...]

The oversize skirt made her sheer ballgown from Theyskens’ Theory Spring 2012 collection fit for a queen. This is the kind of red-carpet dressing I like. Beautiful, risky and totally memorable. Designer Olivier Theyskens’ [...]

My love for ’60s electric-dress designer Diana Dew and electric-dress wearer Tiger Morse means I’m always on the lookout for light-up clothes. Thank you to gorgeous blogger Dawn Del Russo for tweeting Halston’s glow-in-the-dark dress. It doesn’t turn on with a switch like a Diana Dew original, but it’s probably less dangerous. As Richie Berlin [...]

Nearly one year ago, I wrote about crowdfunding site Kickstarter for the Independent Fashion Bloggers website. Kickstarter provides a platform for would-be entrepreneurs to announce a project, set a target financial goal and a target date for raising that sum, then solicit pledges that are processed via Amazon. The donors’ accounts aren’t charged unless the [...]

Because of my pre-jewelry life as a journalist, I’ve always been a sucker for newspaper-print clothes. I got this newspaper-print jacket a couple of years ago on eBay. I won’t be wearing it again. Check out the back. Yep, that’s Hitler-loving John Galliano‘s name in eye-catching black and white. If I owned any Christian Dior [...]
