2009 wouldn’t be complete without some Rodarte. From store curating to collaborations to post-apocalyptic visions of condors rising from ashes, the Mulleavy sisters have had quite a year. I’ve been constantly awed by them since I first set eyes on their beautiful dresses five years ago, I even had a dog named after their inspiring [...]

Martin Margiela is one of my favorite designers, bar none. This little video is a great glimpse into his Paris atelier, and, in a little over three minutes, it lets you see why he’s one of the most creative and brilliant designers around today. I’ve mentioned that I’m strangely mesmerized by watching designers/their teams at [...]

It’s approaching the end of the year (and the end of the decade, at that), which generally means year-end lists and reflections on the past year/decade, but I’m not sure I’d be able to really make any sort of good year-end list. I do have a couple resolutions, but none are really clothing related (save [...]

I mentioned a little while back that I was working on a scarf, my first knitting project. I used my amazing new circular needles, which I’m rabidly in love with. I’ve never been a big DIY person for some reason, more because of my laziness and high expectations than because of any fear of making [...]

Quick outfit post before I head over to my grandmother’s house for our traditional Christmas Eve festivities. I pulled out my Chanel boots, which I’ve always loved because, from the front, they seem like simple black cap-toed Chanel boots, but turning around reveals that the back of the boots are made of patent leather! I [...]

I’m more than a little in love with this Mark Walsh and Leslie Chin for Rodarte copper cuff (oh, how I love their work). I’ve been really liking bronze-y colors since last year, when I worked with bronze for the first time. I’ve wanted a cuff like this forever, and I’ve never seen a piece [...]

I rarely wear jeans, and I rarely wear flats, so it seemed especially amusing to wear both today. But what I was really excited about is my new Gar-de jacket. Gar-de, a fashion collective based out of NYC, had a particularly great fall 2009 collection, full of utilitarian shapes and fabrics, androgynous cuts, and generally [...]
