Do you know who we are?

Quirky Paris shop windows put the fun in shopping...

We all like to think we can recognize great fashion, but what about the iconic face behind the brand?

I was strolling around Paris the other day and saw these clever clothes hangers with illustrations of iconic French fashion designers in a shop window near St. Sulpice.

I can figure out who most of them are but there are a few that I am not sure of.

I'll Have What She's Having: Jessica Szohr dresses up jeans with everyday NY style

November 18, 2009

Jessica Szohr, who plays Vaness Abrams on Gossip Girl, American Eagle Outfitters Times Square Flagship Store Grand Opening Party

Jessica Szohr of Gossip Girl looks positively city chic at the opening of the American Eagle Outfitters flagship store in New York.

We all know that jeans are the great fashion equalizer, but sometimes dressing them up can get a bit tricky.

When we say dressy, we're thinking more of a Casual Friday at the office, polished city look rather than party glamour or glitz.

It's honestly only takes swapping out a few items to dress up your everyday jeans. The fact that Jessica's outfit is tonal also makes it look more polished and put together.

November 13, 2009

Manolo Blahnik spring 2010 shoe collection at Maria Luisa

These shoes are so gorgeous, it's like shoe porn!!!!

If you know me, you would understand what a shoe freak I am, so this post was pure delight! I worked in Delman, the fancy ladies shoe salon at Bergdorf Goodman in NY back in the early 80's where gorgeous shoes were part of design.

If you don't know me, just ask Sharon and she can share some mutual shoe drool stories with you-- starting with the time that I found her the most incredible fuchsia, ankle wrap Charles Jourdan disco heels! On second thought, maybe you shouldn't ask...

To make all you shoe fanatics jealous, I had the distinct pleasure of attending two major shoe events in the same day- the Manolo Blahnik spring preview and the unveiling of the world's largest shoe department at Galeries Lafayette, Paris.
