Making your own way…
Like a lot of people, in the early 90’s I was a huge Nirvana fan. I actually got to see them play in 1991, it was my first concert without my parents (my first concert with parents was New Kids on the Block in 1989). When Kurt Cobain committed suicide in 1994, I was [...]
House of Organic FW Part Two
It’s stunning how many amazing designers are latching onto sustainable fashion. Not just because it’s the ‘right’ thing to do, but also because historically, the best design (and art) have come from adhering to sets of principles and ideologies. Here’s the second part of the House of Organic show at NYFW… This is [...]
Shoe D’Jour : Standbys & Staples
I know lately, I’ve been showcasing a lot of designer shoes that are almost impossible for us mere mortals can afford… there are some brands that come out with reliable quality shoes, the ol’ standby, Nine West most consistently makes decent quality shoes, like my boots I’ve had for a few years are still in [...]
Freedom from the clutches of the bag
I’m sick of bags. For the past few years, I’ve been coveting the bags of other women, how they love the lush leather, and carry them with pride. It’s such a nice accessory, that brightens every outfit. For years, I’ve wanted to be part of the nice bag club, but I could never do it.
In [...]
Shoe D’Jour : The functional cuff
One of the problems I have with pumps is the odd size of my feet. I’m between a 7 and a 7.5 so 7.5’s are too big and slip off easily and 7’s are slightly too small. It’s a pain being unique. So thank god for ankle straps and cuffs and bits and bobs to [...]
Nowegian Wool
There is a lot more to Norway than Style Bytes and sardines… For instance, Norwegian sweaters. One of my favorite Scandinavian blogs Life is Carbon, introduced these traditional sweaters by iiS with a modern twist. Although, I’ve seen these sweaters around before, mostly on hippies and random outdoorsy people, I’ve never really lived in a [...]
The Organic Ruway : Part One
Perhaps Fashion Week is all about the fashion watching and parties, as I was secretly envious of all those bloggers who got to attend the festivities whilst I stayed tucked away in my western city. Next time, I’ll make it…. honestly I’m curious about all the designers that aren’t on style.com, after all one [...]
Shoe D’Jour : White Fringe
Gucci may have their fringes on the runway, but the ol’ moccasin standby has generally fallen on Minnetonka in the past, but if you want something a little different or something a little more vegan, I shall recommend Manimal. Vegan sure is a lot more guilt-free than wearing monkey fur coats.
Beautiful Tuesdays : Rainy Day Makeover
Kezia:
On Saturday, Jennine and I played with colorful makeup from M.A.C’s new Fafi collection, brightening an otherwise dreary, rainy day with carefree colors.
When it comes to makeup, I’m a lightweight. My staples are tinted moisturizer, concealer, lip balm and black mascara. I’m ready to broaden my horizons. I’ve shied away from bright hues because I [...]
The art of intrigue & perfect hair
If you’ve come across Irana Douer in the past, chances are, her bold graphic style and twist on the female portrait will stick in your mind. Even if this is your first time, it’s worth checking out her site for the sale she’s having on her work. You can get one of her pieces ranging [...]
