Tuesday, December 27th, 2011
The pics of the tour that fashion blogger Sandra Hagelstam was granted by London-based footwear designer Laura Villasenin of Miista made me realize that I wasted much of my study abroad experience in college. While hitting all the tourist "musts", ...

Look of the Day: Roadie
Monday, December 26th, 2011
There is something so very "'80s music video" about a scantily-clad model writhing on the hood of a car--that is, unless the model is free of heavy makeup, stilettos and a getup likely acquired at Frederick's of Hollywood. Photographer Carlos ...

Shoe of the Day: Christian Dior Spring 2012 Slingback

Shoe of the Day: Prabal Gurung Spring 2012 Platform
Friday, December 23rd, 2011

Look of the Day: W.A.R.
Friday, December 23rd, 2011
There's something about this sweater dress--and much of the Ksubi Spring 2012 collection (titled "W.A.R.")--that calls to mind my brother's Halloween costume the year he was half-boy/half-girl. Complete with zippered lines-down-the-middle that divide two drastically different looks (like short-and-black in ...

Shoe of the Day: Viktor & Rolf Platform Sandal
Thursday, December 22nd, 2011
'Nothing like some big-old, tire-tread-like grooves to edge-ify an otherwise delicate-looking, sparkly set of shoes. Viktor & Rolf's platform sandals strike a nice balance between girly and gritty. Not only would they add some shine to your party outfits this ...

Shoe of the Day: Deena & Ozzy Creep Black Strap Platform
Wednesday, December 21st, 2011
I love creepers, but I can't get used to working any shoe without at least a three-inch heel. Thanks to their new "Creep" heels, it seems the designers behind Urban Outfitters brand Deena & Ozzy understand. A bootie-creeper hybrid, their ...

Look of the Day: Schoolgirl
Wednesday, December 21st, 2011
One of my favorite sexpots, model Marloes Horst gets surprisingly-dark for the Fall/Winter issue Intermission Magazine--in black-on-black, most often by way of a letterman jacket and a schoolgirl-perfect pleated skirt. She sells herself as a bad girl, smoking in the ...

Shoe of the Day: Ann Demeulemeester Ankle Cuff
Tuesday, December 20th, 2011
While not technically a shoe, it is footwear--and, the second ankle accessory we've featured in a week, it may be part of a growing trend. I love Ann Demeulemeester's black leather ankle cuff--and not just because it's by Demeulemeester, whom ...

Footwear designer, fashion writer and wardrobe stylist Tabitha Simmons has come out with a surprisingly-sleek collection for Spring 2012. Not that the line falls far from the look for which she is known, but--no platform? No chunky heel? It may ...
