JBrand’s Houlihan cargo pants. You know them. Everyone has them: SJP, Rachel Bilson, Rihanna, Lindsay Lohan, and Jessica Alba practically lives in hers (Pink Mascara doesn’t even waste time listing: their product page simply says “…as seen on Jessica Alba + many others). I get the appeal: you know I’m a JBrand girl, and I’m [...]

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 [...]

Big red
I had two pairs of red skinny jeans sent to my inbox today: one pair of JBrands via RueLaLa, and another from Rag & Bone, from a Barneys blast. My two favorite brands of jeans are JBrand and Rag & Bone (I only have one pair of Rag & Bones that I bought waaaay on [...]

What’s the point of cotton?
I am not a domestic goddess. I love to cook and bake, but I’m still learning. I have a Siberian husky, which means I’m vacuuming about 90% of my life, but I hate dusting, and I can’t actually make anything besides cutoff jean shorts. So forgive me if the question I’m about to ask if [...]

Gilt’s dirty little secret?
“For designers, cutting clothes specifically for Gilt can be lucrative, because it offers a way to repurpose intellectual property, such as popular looks that may be a couple of years old. A designer may reduce production costs by using less-expensive materials, say wool from Scotland instead of Italy, or by using a little less stitching [...]

Eberjey on Swirl by Daily Candy: now
Remember my old post about Eberjey bras, and how they’re best shown off through peek-a-boo tanks and dresses? Good news: Eberjey’s selling at 50% off on Swirl by Daily Candy. Besides bras: underwear and pajamas, and nothing’s over $40.

The shoulder pad…necklace
Here’s something genius, from All for the Mountain, via Bona Drag. It’s called the shoulder pad necklace, and it’s perfect for that moment when Balmain’s delicate but rigorous shoulder is starting to get old but the overall silhouette hasn’t lost its freshness. In other words, now. I’d wear it with a striped Breton tee or [...]

Twenty8Twelve on ideeli
If you’ve ever seen a Twenty8Twelve lookbook, browsed their website or seen photos of their presentations and runway shows, you know that they make some pretty cute stuff. The problem is that barely any of it (re: the good stuff) is available through major American retailers. I think Saks carries them, plus certain boutiques and [...]

Diane takes a back seat for Haiti
Designer and CFDA President Diane von Furstenberg is a high-profile leader in the fashion industry, and still highly recognizable outside of it. But the CFDA has chosen a different spokesperson to rally support for its “Fashion for Haiti” campaign: Beyoncé. The shirt — which is now expected to go on sale February 16, and not [...]

The denim shirt
Somewhere buried in my parents’ guest room closet is a long-sleeve denim button-up shirt that I wore way back in middle school and which I called my “blue jean shirt.” It was a dark wash, and I always wore it with black pants. Classy. Now I want the 2010 version, which I’d wear with skirts [...]
