Well, the outfit isn’t terrible … just the blurry photo is. It was too windy and cold out for a redo; I ran inside right after this. Whatever! If you want excellent jewelry, you’re on the right blog. If you want excellent outfit photography, go practically anywhere else. I have to pick my battles, and [...]

The color gold was on my mind as I got ready for New Year’s Eve. Much to my delight, it was on other people’s minds too. MrB and I gave gorgeous blogger/designer Stacy Lomman a ride to our dinner at Indochine. When Stacy turned up at our apartment wearing gold sequins that matched mine, I [...]

I’m not the world’s biggest fan of floral prints, but I do like some, especially the abstract ones textile designer Celia Birtwell created for her husband, clothing designer Ossie Clark, in the 1960s and 1970s. Now a current designer has caught my eye with a hyper-realistic floral look. I spotted this Mary Katrantzou dress in [...]

Since 2009, the highlarious and sometimes just plain high Michael K of the gossip blog Dlisted has been covering the Herve Leger monstrosity that he calls The Slut Dress. The black bandage dress with cutouts — there’s a “nude” lining under the cutouts — has been worn on the red carpet and/or to the opening [...]

I jumped when I saw this picture of actress Zooey Deschanel in a lime-green dress with a high neck and gold buttons at the waist. It looks a lot like my vintage Jacques Tiffeau dress, doesn’t it? I’d love to know more about Zooey’s dress. If anyone has any information, let me know in the [...]

While I’m watching MTV’s VMA pre-show, I’m reminiscing about the times MrB and I went to the VMAs back in the late ’90s and early 2000s when the show was in New York. I’m pretty sure I wore my white leather wedding outfit to the 2001 show, but that was before I had a digital [...]

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 [...]

Since my multiple posts on high/low hemlines, aka mullets, I’ve been seeing more and more examples of the style. The Telegraph did a celebrity/runway slideshow, which includes a couple of the looks I’ve shown but plenty of fresh ones. I’ve noticed that the white Cushnie et Ochs dress worn by actress Teresa Palmer has been [...]

Before stylists and goddess gowns took over, there were a lot of eye-popping fashions at the Oscars. One dress that regularly turns up on everyone’s all-time worst-dressed list is Geena Davis’s 1992 short-in-the-front, long-in-the-back “mullet” dress. After that, mullet dresses were stamped with a big “NEVER!” in my mind, and if you’ve been reading my [...]
