My previous ones are: Red legs Leopard print Maxis Mullet (high/low) hemlines Snake print and color blocking Houndstooth Peplums My new theme is button-down denim shirts. I’m seeing them on all of you! If you want your picture to [...]

When I saw this picture of a “Bias Streamer Skirt” by Alexander Wang in last weekend’s Wall Street Journal, I screamed (in my head), “Car-wash skirts are back at last!” I didn’t know I was missing car-wash skirts, but apparently, deep down, I was. If I remember correctly, car-wash skirts — so-called because the fringe-like [...]

Go over to the Huffington Post’s Stylelist section today for my story about bloggers wearing the houndstooth trend. Don’t forget to leave some nice comments for the participants! I discovered two more houndstooth-wearing bloggers after deadline, so I’ll share them now (click their photos to visit their blogs). Here’s Sal of Already Pretty wearing a [...]

The peplum has made one of its periodic comebacks as a fashion trend. The look brings back fond memories of a structured black cotton jacket with a peplum that I wore in the early ’90s. I had a few tailored pieces by Teenflo for work back then and the jacket might have been one of [...]

Back in July, I admired the mix of glen plaid and houndstooth filling the windows at Ferragamo’s 5th Avenue store, especially because I already own a similar look. My pieces are glen plaid, rather than houndstooth, but they have the right vibe. By August, Lady Gaga was sporting the Ferragamo houndstooth look. And this Thursday, [...]

After I wrote about fall’s color-blocking and snakeskin/print trends for the Huffington Post’s Styelist site last month, I said to myself, “Self, a trend story isn’t really a trend story without one of my awesome blogger slideshows.” I immediately started working on a snake-print and color-blocking slideshow. Luckily, I didn’t rush it because I got [...]

A sign at “Lunch” in Montauk. All seagulls make me think of Family Guy. (Of course, everything makes me think of Family Guy.) My friend Carl wears red pants, just like Justin Bieber. Hope your weekend was a good one!

I first noticed the new popularity of red pants at the Independent Fashion Bloggers conference in February. Soon they were on so many bloggers that I put a red-pants slideshow together for the Huffington Post. At that point, I remembered that I’d grown up watching male rockers on MTV jumping around in tight red pants. [...]

Right before Snakes on a Plane came out five years ago, a friend and I were so swayed by the pre-opening online hype that we bet MrB that the movie would be a mega-blockbuster. Well, it turned out that the hype was just hype. According to IMDB, the movie’s domestic gross barely topped the production [...]
