The hosiery industry is rejoicing. Tights (and socks) are back. Sock Dreams has interesting options(thanks to Allure, Style Bubble and several other bloggers for pointing out this site). Meanwhile, if you’re in need of lingerie (whoever you are… male, female…I don’t judge), Bare Necessities has a huge selection.
Shopping
Buy My Dress at Frock NYC
My favorite vintage store, Frock NYC, has relaunched its website! Check out the beautiful selections, including Ossie Clark, Thea Porter, Ungaro and Moschino. Not to mention my very own Versace Couture dress (see above), worn to the Oscars in 2003! And if you’re in NYC, you must stop by the store at 148 Orchard Street…
Black and White
I like the bold, graphic design on this ’80s snakeskin Carlos Falchi bag. It’s $165 on Poshvintage.com.
Great Minds Think Alike…About Gladiator Sandals
Here (on the right) we have Ashley Olsen in Alaia sandals. Below, vintage Herbert Levine. (Levine photo via Enokiworld. Sorry, the Levines are sold.) Speaking of sandals, if you’re a size 37 (and act quickly), you can get the Gucci sandal pictured below at Bergdorf Goodman for $582, down from $895. But if you’re a…
Take Good Care of Your Acne

Wash the jeans as infrequently as possible (a good recommendation for all jeans unless you are striving for the broken-in look) and when you do wash them….hand-wash! With my first pair of these jeans, I debated the cleaning process for…
Acne Jeans on Sale
My favorite Acne style (Hex) is on supersale on Shopjake in the “Radison” color. If you’re a size 26 or 28, go get ’em for $90 down from $295!
Recycle Your Jeans at Barneys
Bring in your old jeans to Barneys and get 20% off your next pair. I don’t see my favorites, Acne, on the list of brands participating. But I do see Goldsign, which had an eye-popping pair of spray-painted silver jeans on display recently. Very glam rock! I’m sure Marc Bolan would have dared to wear…
Glam Rock Shoes on Sale
The glam rock mood has really struck me after browsing through pictures of Freddie Mercury. In the ’60s and ’70s, Terry de Havilland’s shoes were worn by the likes of Bianca Jagger, Anita Pallenberg and David and Angie Bowie. More recently, Sienna Miller has rocked his outrageous wedges and Amy Winehouse sported a pair of…

Ruby Lane is a great site for shopping for vintage and antique jewelry. You can also find a few interesting things on Fashiondig. (Photo from Fashiondig.)

This is a really fun piece I picked up at the jewelry show. The main part is a flexible, black, stainless steel ring. You can clip your choice of diamond or sapphire ornaments onto the ring: an initial, a flower, a butterfly, a crown, a horseshoe and a circle are just a few of the…
