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?

What’s green and vintage and new all over?

And now, Glamour.com’s Glam Cam is letting [...]

Do you still message tee?
Stalking Fred Flare is a popular, dangerous thing to do, but when your favorite dress sells out as soon as it goes on sale, do you curse and go on to Shopbop, or do you start to wander around and see what else Fred Flare has to offer?
Because beyond the cute kitchen stuff and weird [...]

Hayden-Harnett shows us how to dress “in real life”

The project features everyday New York City girls who pop into the Hayden-Harnett studio to play dress-up for [...]

Shop handmade fashion and accessories at Papersnitch
Shopping online for handmade items is fun, but sometimes hard to handle when your search only brings up crafty, homemaker-type sites that haven’t even heard of PayPal.
That’s why there’s Etsy, and also Papersnitch.
Papersnitch is an online space for designers and independent boutiques to showcase their products and art, and for creative shoppers to browse for [...]
