When I’m in Minneapolis (not often enough, by the way), one of my must-visit shops is Lunalux. It’s totally charming and chock full of letterpress goodies. So I’m glad that Jenni, Lunalux’s owner, sends me emails from time to time, keeping me up on “what’s new”. Yesterday, I learned that Lunalux was [...]

Another indoor weekend meant I had lots of time to read, and plan my escape from the snow and cold. That’s what Chicagoans do in February, I think: we think about where we’d rather be living. (And watch movies. I watched Two Days in Paris Sunday afternoon and enjoyed it immensely.)
Friday’s New York Times had [...]

Good morning! It’s currently two below zero, and windy. I think I’ll stay inside today, thanks. Time for the final giveaway (for awhile, at least). It’s a copy of Wendy Bellissimo’s “nesting” book, complete with dvd, which features foods, crafts, and other inspirations. I bought this book back when it came out, because of the [...]

Marchesa featured lots of pretty gowns, perfect for parties, or the red carpet. Love these three. See their full collection for fall here.

Most of Francisco Costa’s fall collection for Calvin Klein was austere, bordering on severe: a look that can work if you’re young, but can make someone “older” (me?) look angry. I do love his aesthetic, though, and think the two dresses above have that softness that broadens their appeal. See the full collection [...]

Huge love and happiness this morning for Isaac Mizrahi’s fall collection! Love the cummerbund waist detail; love the simplicity. Oh, and did you happen to notice how cool the shoes are? Sign me up for a pair of those flats in the bottom photo. They are exactly my style.
Don’t forget to check out [...]

This was one of those collections that made my heart race. Each dress was exquisite, wearable, and pretty. I especially adore the ornamentation. Check out the rest of Monique Lhuillier’s fall collection and see if you don’t agree. Simply splendid. I’m trying to decide which of the above is my favorite. I think [...]
