I'm positively smitten with Smitten NYC and I think you will be too. Prices are affordable, the selection is unique but totally wearable, and comfort is key. Its name is inspired by the '40s romance comic books — cute, right? So there's a vintage feel in all of designer Michael Simon's pieces, but modernity also reigns. The latest selection includes shredded-sleeve sweaters, fringe tops, draped Read more
Valentine's Day is fast approaching. Do you have a gift for your lovah? Here's something unique — it's not a mitten, it's a Smitten ($16), made by Etsy user lovedriven. Confused? Check out this drawing. It's a glove that love birds can wear while holding hands. You know, so they're not forced to stop holding hands to be warm. It's definitely a novel idea, but is it freaky or fabulous? Read more
Even if you don't like to admit it, looks matter. Both our own and those of the people we date. It deems us as shallow if we place too much emphasis on appearance, but when it comes down to it, that's what initially attracts us to one another. I'm always fascinated by people's reaction to the looks discussion and my friends over at Smitten touched upon this topic in a fun, cheeky way. They posed Read more
To combat the impending Winter and the lagging economy, last week Smitten challenged its readers to list five of their favorite simple pleasures in life.

It's all about the power of positive thinking, so if you're a person who tends to see the Read more
Diane Kruger has shown nothing but showstopping glamour during this year's Cannes Film Festival, so it was only appropriate that she go out on a high note. The actress and film festival juror attended Sunday's closing ceremony and the premiere of Thérèse Desqueyroux in a wildly voluminous Christian Dior Haute Couture ball gown. The black, white, and gray plaid confection had a structured bodice Read more
One season of Revenge later (did you see last night's finale?!) and we're totally addicted, not to mention completely smitten with the ever-adorable Ashley Madekwe. We know her best as the show's impeccably dressed Ashley Davenport, but the England-born actress is just as much of a style pro off screen, showcasing her styling expertise on her very own blog, Ring My Bell. Now she's dishing on her Read more
When we first heard that crop tops (and more specifically, bralets) were going to be big for 2012, we had our reservations — it seemed like a look best suited for outdoor music festivals and costume parties — but after seeing the midriff-baring look on the runways at Dolce & Gabbana, Nina Ricci, Prada, and others, we inevitably changed our tune, and are officially smitten with the idea Read more
Whether or not white is actually a color is still up for debate, but either way, it's a fantastic way to look fresh and Spring-ready during the sunny season. Since we're smitten with wearing white all year long, we're helping you get a jump on your warm-weather wardrobe with a budget-friendly crop of ivory clothes and accessories to wear all season long. We've rounded up 30 crisp, clean white Read more
One of the reasons why women love billionaire Christian Grey of the famed 50 Shades of Grey novel is that he isn't perfect. He's flawed, which suits the trilogy's underlying theme of bad boy reformation. Because of his complicated upbringing and stunted adulthood, Christian makes a lot of mistakes in all aspects of his life, which includes career and money decisions. Here are some Christian Grey Read more
We're filing this Met Gala look under legendary: Karolina Kurkova is a vision in Rachel Zoe's custom-made gold-sequined gown. The supermodel took the red carpet by storm with the bold and beautiful confection, topped with a coordinating turban and finished with a jaw-dropping display of diamond bangles and rings. With confidence and glamour, she carries the '20s-inspired outfit perfectly, making Read more
