Theory plays with a new look

I wasn’t really a Theory girl until this month. I work from home, which means I don’t need work clothes, and for the past couple of years, I’ve rarely needed professional-looking separates: I can usually get buy with skinny jeans and boots or a nice dress for 99% of my cool-weather, dressier occasions. But now [...]

DVF lets you “shop the show”

You can trick yourself all you want by saying that online shopping gives you just as much of a thrill as trying on clothes in the store, handing over your credit card, and taking them home with you right then and there. But while buying pretty pieces online in the middle of the night hurts [...]

Agyness Deyn’s NAAG site makes me want to be Agyness!

A week or so ago Modelinia pointed me to Agnyess Deyn’s new online magazine/blog/creative space called NAAG. It’s awesome. Unlike Gwyneth’s GOOP, it’s of course more like Agnyess: silly, wonky, completely unpretentious and addictingly attractive. Simply organized into four categories — Beauty, Fashion, Places and Culture — NAAG’s editor-in-chief is nymag.com’s Fiona Byrne, while Aggy [...]

What am I going to wear today?

Today on Fashionista, I was pointed to Vogue UK’s daily June blog, “Today I’m Wearing…” with Julia Restoin-Roitfeld. In the special, we’ll get to see snapshots and descriptions of what Julia wears every day during the month of June, and it already looks pretty spectacular. But if you’re already hopping for style inspiration (and have [...]

Up next: the cuffed skirt

Check out Alessandra’s cuffed denim mini, as shot by Scott Schuman in Milan, presumably at Fashion Week. It’s certainly an option if your skirts are too long, but do you think cuffing would work on skirts of other materials: tweed, maybe, or a heavy wool like this one?

Best clothing swap websites

As a direct result of the green movement and the poor economy, online swapping has become more and more popular. People swap books, games, and now clothes and accessories. Last month I wrote about the UK clothing swap site CovertCandy which is working on a US-based site, and I’ve begun noticing similar sites as well. [...]

Temperley’s new website

This summer’s been big for Temperley London. First, they opened up pop-up stores in the Hamptons and in London, and now they’ve launched a new website. Earlier this year, the British brand showed off its cutting edge new media smarts by hosting a virtual fashion show for A/W 2009-2010 to reach a wider customer base [...]

What’s green and vintage and new all over?

CovertCandy. CovertCandy is an online clothing swap that supports sustainable clothing and awards users credits that they can apply to other merchandise (clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry) so that they don’t have to pay for new stuff. And so it’s more “new-t0-you” than just plain “new,” but the basic idea is that you’re getting clothes for [...]

The Glam Cam makes you the fashion police

One of the best things about Glamour and Glamour.com is the Dos and Donts section. One of my favorite Dos of all time featured a girl in a powder blue trench coat and bright umbrella, and I’ve never gotten dressed for a rainy day with the same mindset since. And now, Glamour.com’s Glam Cam is [...]
