Last Spring, I fell in love – this time it was spherical, not spiritual. I was clutching onto the hope that I would one day wear this Dries ring. Imagine the tears of joy when I stumbled upon this more than reasonable facsimile in the most unexpected of places – the Mall. (I will deny [...]
Now a girl can’t wear Intergalactic Glamour everyday. And sometimes, Gothenticity needs a softer edge. Of course, Karl knows this. Along with the ’20s inspired flapper numbers he whipped up for the Chanel Resort 2010 collection, there was a wonderful assortment of the little (and longer!) black dress.

Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry has a new exhibit on at the moment called Fast Forward… Inventing the Future. Not quite an exhibit – it’s more of a multimedia playpen exploring how our future lives are being shaped today. The show features all things visionary including food made by ink-jets (mmmm…needs a little more cyan…) to [...]

There was the Gothicke language spoken by the Germanic tribes of Goths, Visigoths and Ostrogoths, which generally wreaked havoc on much of Europe during the 3rd to 5th Centuries.

Sigh. My thoughts flashed back to the boys in Docs we used to gush over in school (never wore them [...]
…with a taste for simple, clean, uninterrupted lines. And, I like a little dash of drama with my fash. Thankfully Complex Geometries obliges my flare for the dare and divine. Photo by Tomm Ton, courtesy of JAKANDJIL blog.
I needed an Illy this afternoon, so went for a stroll. I decided to take a detour and check out a nearby Winners first. I noticed a fresh shipment of gloves and scarves, so passively walked over. It took about seven seconds to unearth a beautiful pair of butter-soft leather gloves from Portolano – maroon, cashmere [...]
The magazine industry is hurting in North America, with daily news of layoffs and mag closures. But on the other side of the Atlantic, it’s a rags to riches story. Mags are big business in the Motherland. India is no longer the less fashionable, sedate, math whiz, little sister. She is the glamour goddess, letting [...]
The MMM website may have a disclaimer that it is not under construction. It just looks that way. That disclaimer should have alerted us of a much more ominous reality. Monsieur Margiela is no longer at the Maison that bears his name. And apparently, he hasn’t been home for some time. Gone, like a cloud, [...]
