If youve been reading this blog for a while, you know that I have a semi-unhealthy addiction to perfume. It is one of the great pleasures of my life, and for people like me, perfume is an art form to...
Just a little eye candy for your weekend, courtesy of Scott Schuman at The Sartorialist. Enjoy!
Well, hello, there! Remember me?Yes. Ive been MIA. AWOL. Call it what you will. Im sorry about that.Heres the thing... There are some changes going on in my life. They are good, happy, productive cha...

I am informed this morning by Fashionologie.com that model Alyona Osmanova, who has appeared on some Big Name Runways previously, has been moved to Ford Models "plus size" division. Heres one...
The idea makes sense, and I understand the inspiration behind it. A woman puts together a nice outfit to go to work every day, but often in the course of said day she needs two types of shoe -- a fla...
I totally ganked this photo from Scott Schuman. This isn't my usual Pretty for Friday kinda thing, but I just love lovety loveloveLOVE the way this man looks. He is not only dapper, he is jaunty.This...
I'm too angry to write coherently about this. Just go here and read this and read this and watch this:Original Video- More videos at TinyPicI'm just so sick of this I could scream, and I don't feel l...
Everyone adores a Chanel jacket. You know, the soft tweed, the boxy cut, the braid or the chains, the patch pockets. Everyone adores them, they're the index garment for so many fashionistas ("Someday...
Ya know, my English is pretty good. So I don't care what the nice people at Shopbop try to tell me -- these are some really, really cute tops. Every one of them would be adorable over some capris, or...
First of all, a most heartfelt and humble thank you to everyone who has had such kind and supportive things to say to me in the last few days. I'm sure I don't deserve it, but I'm very happy to accep...
I've received a couple of comments over the last two days that were so compelling I decided I needed to share them with the whole class:From yesterday:"You know, I have followed your blog regularly f...
Phoebe Philo's back in town, and there has been much rejoicing. Back in the late 90's, when Stella McCartney was turning Chloé into the It Label for It Girls, Philo was her design assistant, and took...
Blech. The weather is... blech.However. If you DO have to go out into the blech, wearing a pair of bright red patent rainboots (with tassels on the zips!) certainly helps your frame of mind. I heart ...
I'm suggestible. This is what I've been seeing and this is what I'm now wanting:This is Celine S/S '10. Phoebe Philo is back in the design saddle, now at Celine, and she's working some serious magic ...
Quick! Those banded elastic BCBG "power skirts" (that's actually what they call them, which cracks me up) that I'm always raving about are on sale at Nordstrom.com(Click for link.)These things are cr...
I got so excited looking at this collection.This is Fall 2010 from Trussardi 1911. Oh, I just LOVE this -- this is exactly the kind of thing I want to be wearing right now.I'm really thrilling to thi...
Absolutely worth forty minutes of your time: designer Narciso Rodriguez, J.Crew CEO Millard Drexler, Elle Editor-In-Chief Roberta Myers, and my absolute favorite fashion journalist Cathy Horyn discus...
Last Sunday, some of you may remember, was Valentine's Day. I happened to be enjoying some early dinner at a nice-ish restaurant Sunday, and so got to witness a small parade of folks who were obvious...
It is a strange thing, to mourn someone you never actually knew.It feels a bit presumptuous to me, like I'm taking a liberty I don't deserve. I certainly never met Alexander McQueen; he was not a fri...
Okay. First off, I love y'all, thanks for your input, but... NOT! HELPING!!! My two jacket candidates are running just about neck & neck, especially given how many of you are just telling me to k...
Well, crap.As I mentioned a while ago, I'm looking for a good new jacket -- something to keep me nice & toasty when the temperatures drop, but that looks good enough to wear out for dinner, and i...
or, Triumph of the Double-Sided Tape(I had a lot of other headlines I could have gone with, believe me)So the big neckline at the Golden Globes (other than black and strapless) was this one:Very low,...
My vote for greatest invention of of the last I dunno how many years has got to be the DVR. No other way would I be able to wade through the television coverage that now surrounds any of the major aw...
*Manolos In ActionHere are the new Manolos, out for their maiden run this Saturday:I've had this jacket for ages & ages. It's a double-breasted tux jacket with satin shawl collar from Ann Taylor,...
I just saw this ad on a fashion website:I am not providing a link. They don't deserve to be linked to until they get their merde together.What's wrong with this picture? Well, as anyone with even a p...
Style Spy needs a coat. Actually, it might be more accurate to say that I need a jacket, a heavy jacket, not a coat. Something that will keep me warm when it gets into the 40s and 30s, but is not too...
Lately, I've been dipping my toe back into perfumed waters a bit. I realized that I was missing the thrill of discovering new fragrances, and have been nosing about some. The hilarious and incisive T...
Yours truly is a near-sighted Style Spy. (I can only spy what's very nearby, unless I'm wearing glasses or contacts.) I've been wearing corrective lenses since I was twelve years old. I came by it ho...
It's Friday the 13th, a day that holds no fear for yours truly because she was born on a Friday the 13th. But some folks tremble in their boots. I know how to turn this around and make Friday the 13t...
