The start of a new year brings a great opportunity to reflect — we can look back on what we accomplished, and make resolutions for the coming 12 months. I always look forward to cleaning out the old closet and making room for fresh new pieces. With less than 48 hours until a brand-new year, I thought it necessary to highlight some of the things I'm planning — and coveting — when the clock Read more

Now's the time to unleash your wanderlust — designers like Donna Karan and Michael Kors showed Spring collections that exuded exoticism thanks to tribal prints, safari-inspired pieces, and looks that Kors coined "Afri-luxe." Now, how to get the same luxe look on a more affordable scale? We've, er, hunted and gathered a collection of tribal prints, gladiator sandals, and statement ethnic jewelry Read more

The ethereal collection of Marchesa gowns shown for Fall 2012 left us with one question: which A-list celeb will wear which dress on which red carpet?

Frills, feathers, sheerness, and shine: Karl Lagerfeld's Spring 2012 collection for Chanel had all the feminine indulgences, presented in a dreamy, under-the-sea setting. Models strode the runway in 80 looks, most of them rendered in a soft palette — silver, seafoam green, blush — and walked against a white backdrop filled with shapes from the sea, like seaweed and coral. They wore pearls in Read more

Otherworldly is the best way to describe Sarah Burton's Spring 2012 collection for Alexander McQueen. She referenced the Greek goddess Gaia, who in mythology gave birth to the gods of sea. The oceanic theme arose via undulating ruffles and pearl and coral-crusted embellishments that looked like barnacles.

We sought out the best of the bunch for the rest of our Summer days — flatforms, Read more
