Out with the Dull and in with the Bright this Fall …
October 6, 2008
I worship Top Shop. Its regal British appeal and fresh trendster flavor make it one of my absolute favorite places to shop. Unfortunately the only time I had a regular Top Shop in my hood was when I was living in Madrid, Spain. Luckily they ship to the United States and the Manhattan location is due to open in Spring 2009. This will surely up the ante on my addiction for anything Topshop, especially if they keep serving up beauties like this angelic and striking blue frill-front dress.
Fall usually brings out drabby browns and muted greys from the depths of our closets. That, my dear friends, is really not necessary. Spice up your autumn threads with a gorgeous blue that snaps, crackles, and pops. This dress is heavenly for cooler weather with some sexy boots and a wool cardigan. It can be dressed-up for a hot date, dressed conservative for the office, or dressed casual for brunch. I love, love, LOVE this garment but just wish that £ sign that will soon bear the $ sign.

Free People Rows of Cable Dress
I hate tube-top dresses and short shorts. That makes right now, the beginning of Fall, my favorite time of year. I also happen to adore anything by Free People. Their new Fall Rows of Cable Dress especially rocked my socks. It’s short yet knit, comfy yet sexy, and summer yet winter. It is perfect for layering and accessorizing. In red, black, and gray this dress easily evolves from frozen tofu enchiladas at the desk to gin gimlets at the bar.
At $128, you can’t go wrong. With two adorable pockets in the front and an open ribbon-tied back it’s irresistibly delicious. Since the name of the dress has the world cable (a lá cable car) in it and I’m from San Francisco, it’s a sign that we are meant to be.
Fetish footwear for Fall ’08
September 16, 2008
What can I say. I’ve been a fan of the gladiator sandal all summer long. As the air gets crisper and leaf colors turn , I need to consider other more practical options. What can be more practical than an edgy, grommet and buckle encrusted pair of stilettos? So here you have my latest obsession. Perhaps it is a more sinister version of the gladiator but I am still in love.
