This Ports 1961 dress caught my eye as I flipped through W magazine’s June trends supplement, so I thought I’d share. I like the combination of the disco-ball top and the less disco-y bottom. Perfect for those times when a full-on sequin dress would be too much!

I’ve been hyp-mo-tized by the streamlined neon dresses in Michael Kors’s Resort 2012 collection, especially this pink gown. I like that sleek silhouette so much that I couldn’t help ogling this similarly cut Kors dress on Bergdorf Goodman’s website even though I try to avoid wearing black for evening. It’s so good that if someone [...]

MrB and I went to a preview of the musical Leap of Faith on Broadway last week. The play is based on a 1992 movie, starring Steve Martin, about a con artist posing as a faith healer. In the play, the sex-ay Raúl Esparza plays phony preacher Jonas Nightingale, who travels from town to town [...]

Every so often, I check out the vintage fashion listed on 1stdibs.com. This time I felt like I’d gone shopping without spending any money. First, I noticed this tie-dyed, velvet Todd Oldham dress from the 1990s. It’s being sold by my gorgeous friend Cherie of Shrimpton Couture. After a moment, I realized why I liked [...]

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 [...]
