For those of you who like my Castelbajac sailor pants … … they’re on sale on Yoox.com. I think I got a better deal on them when I bought them on sale at the store last year, but unless you have a time machine set for 2010, you’ll have to make do with Yoox. Yoox [...]

I found my own red-pants photo too late for yesterday’s post on red-legged bloggers, so it gets a special post. This was taken in Prague in 1999 or so. I’m a little demoralized to see how long I’ve been dependent on black t-shirts. I had those pants in black too. I gave away the red [...]

My “Never Is the Next New Thing™”* fashion theory proposes that the most provocative/grating/startling looks — the ones that make you say, “I would NEVER wear that!” — are the ones most likely to become trends, big or small. We need to be jolted out of our fashion complacency before we move in a new [...]

I can’t believe I was just in London and didn’t go to Browns! WTF! Well, I had more important things to do most days. But I love looking at the Browns website and I definitely regret not squeezing in a visit in person. Right now I’m going crazy over a couple of pieces by Ashish, [...]

Just as I was posting about J. Crew’s “matchstick”-cut, neon pink corduroys earlier this week, gorgeous blogger Karen of Of a Certain Age was getting the same cords in an intense citron color. How desperately do you want these now? Karen looks amazing! After seeing this photo, I feel like anyone with any sense at [...]
