We're feeling the feminine, well-bred bug for Spring — a look we saw demonstrated on the runways at Marc Jacobs, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Carven, and more. It's a pitch-perfect move for a season that already favors flirty dresses, peep-toe sandals, and pretty pastels and florals, not to mention an incredibly easy trend to try out. The '60s influences were undeniable; crisp clean short suits, Read more
It's funny to me that Spoon's latest album of understated pop arrives packaged in very overstated décor. The record cover art of Transference, with a boy (a young Britt Daniel?) seemingly trapped in his parents' formal '60s living room, is beyond brilliant. From the excessively animated curtain sheers and draping jacquard valances to the ornate tufted cantaloupe-colored armchair to the oceanic Read more
Calling all Jackie O aficionados! Your former first lady of pill box hats, oversized sunglasses, and little skirts suits would proudly wear a silk shantung sixties A-line coat just like this one, which comes in a size medium; I doubt she would have paid $27 for hers though. This coat is such a classic. Can you imagine how chic it would look with a little bit of hemline peeking out Read more

Sixty years ago today, Queen Elizabeth II started her reign. Each year, the queen quietly marks Accession Day, since it is the anniversary of the death of her father, King George VI, but today, the queen also made note of the celebrations that will come later this year: "I hope also that this Jubilee year will be a time to give thanks for the great advances that have been made since 1952 and to Read more
If there's one thing that working moms and stay-at-home mothers have in common, it's that ubiquitous feeling of guilt. For working mamas it's often the guilt of missing a school function or having to take a business trip, while stay-at-home moms frequently say they often feel guilty for not putting their education and previous career experience to work.

New research from the Guttmacher Institute may debunk the idea that religion and sex don't mix.
