Bangles with a Bang!
BUILT TO LAST When I was in middle school, the ultimate sign of style was how many bangles you wore on your arm. I used to go over to Claire’s Accessories, buy (fake) thin gold bangles and just pile them up to my elbow, mixing them with everything from hemp to plastic (I know, stylish, right?). Eventually I learned that when Coco Chanel advised to always take off one thing before leaving the house she was absolutely right. Though, in my case, I needed to take off about twenty-plus.
Banded Together
BUILT TO LAST A Herve Leger bandage dress pretty much speaks for itself. Speaking as a girl who usually tends to run from overtly sexy, tight, and revealing clothing, this dress is absolutely the most amazing garment in my closet. Though much more contemporary than my usual ¨Built to Last¨ picks (designer Max Azria only launched Herve Leger by Max Azria in 2007), this dress…
Hats Off to Fedoras
BUILT TO LAST
Style that transcends time and fashion I know what you’re thinking. Is this week´s column really about the most annoying celebrity/hipster trend ever to appear in the pages of magazines and on ¨Entertainment Tonight¨ circa 2007? The answer is, kind of…
Brighten Up With a Pucci Scarf
BUILT TO LAST Summer fashion is the best. Unfortunately, by the third straight week of oven-like temps, it’s too hot to wear anything but a white tank and shorts. That was my summer MO for the longest time until I discovered the perfect solution to my mid-season style rut: a Pucci scarf. Here’s my favorite scarf and two other budget-friendly alternatives!
The American Ballet Flats
BUILT TO LAST
Style that transcends time and fashion Next time you walk down a crowded street, take a moment to lower your gaze and a look at women’s feet. You’ll notice many, if not most, are wearing ballerina-style shoes. No, everyone around you isn’t dashing off to dance class. However, they are hot on the heels, or rather toes, of fashion in these sleek ballet flats.
Put a (Cocktail) Ring On It
BUILT TO LAST
Style that transcends time and fashion Forgetting to put on a ring (or several) before leaving the house in the morning is like walking out with no shoes on. It’s a bare essential for me, no matter how dressed up or down I am. It is probably the only jewelry piece I wear every single day without fail. I feel naked without it, especially my cocktails rings.
Lockets are Close to My Heart
BUILT TO LAST
Style that transcends time and fashion With Mother’s Day around the corner, a locket is a perfect gift for any mom. Unfortunately, it’s not a present I can give my own mother. She already has one (or more likely 20). Still, I believe it is important to tell you that lockets are the ultimate heirloom. I realize I’m biased, but hear me out…
Boot Up, Rain or Shine
BUILT TO LAST
Style that transcends time and fashion
Think stilettos are a key ingredient for completing a glamorous look? Guess again. Rain boots can be just as chic as Kate Moss demonstrated at England’s Glastonbury Music Festival some years ago. Get the look with these three rain boot recommendations.
The Perfect Little Black Dress
BUILT TO LAST
There’s a good reason the little black dress, dubbed LBD, has always garnered lots of attention from blogs, magazines, fashion designers, and celebrities. Not only does the black silhouette look good on everyone and go well with everything, but also it’s appropriate to wear just about anywhere (day or night). So why is it so hard to find?
Have LV Trunk, Will Travel
BUILT TO LAST
Style that transcends time and fashion Just think about all the photos you’ve seen of celebrities and socialites waiting in airports or coming off their private planes. Rarely are they snapped without the ultimate jet-setting accessory: Louis Vuitton luggage.
