This spring, minimalist denim is so much more than an elementary assemblage of rivets and twill. The emerging story? Threads for a utilitarian, downtown-cool lifestyle, where blue (or black or white) jeans go back to their no-nonsense roots: clean (or ripped off) back pockets, classic cuts, superior fabrications, and an intense focus on construction and fit. “The Rag...

As of late I have been finding more reasons to love Burberry. Their leather bags continue to not only be fashionable and current but also affordable. And now I found a new Burberry bag that I want so badly to like but can’t help but look at it and see jean pockets. I know many designers put two pockets on the front of their bags. This is nothing new. But there are times...

We are self-proclaimed Alexander McQueen fans here at PurseBlog. And this bag is no different. The Alexander McQueen Leather Biker Satchel infuses a design that I wasn’t completely in love with to make a bag that is speaking to me. With all of the pockets and zippers from the Alexander McQueen Leather Biker Tote and the laid-back satchel style, I am loving this bag...

After Anna Paquin’s poor choice of footwear at the Golden Globes, I was happy to see her at the 2010 SAG Awards red carpet.   Paquin looks wonderful wearing a clutch and dress from Alexander McQueen (yes, of the alien sea creature line) and I’m in love with her Pierre Hardy shoes from the Spring 2010 collection. I did not expect to see either the dress or the shoes...

I’m a longtime fan of Simple, the UK’s beloved natural skin care brand. Packed with vitamins and free of perfumes and dyes, their face products never fail to leave my sensitive skin glowing (not red and irritated). Living in New York, I’ve been able to get my Simple fix at local drugstore chain Duane Reade. But now, thanks to a new U.S. E-commerce site, Simple is...

If living with a diehard foodie (a fan of Spain’s school of foam cuisine and avant-garde chef extraordinaire Wiley Dufresne) has taught me anything, it’s that it takes trying new things and an adventurous spirit to develop your palette. The same holds true in fashion. And while I don’t believe in blindly following every trend that comes along, I do advocate for...
