Alberta Ferretti Spring 2015

_AG16695

I swear Alberta and I are soul sisters. If I had to pick a favorite fashion decade it would definitely be the 70s. And I want to live and breathe in nude chiffon, which as it turns out is pretty hard to do in NYC. Thank God for LA, seriously. What would I do without any excuse to wear my long flowey dresses, for evening, for day with belts and boots and everything in between. I would don my dress to go to Key Food if I could. Sigh. Alberta, I love you and I love all of these dresses and jumpers. Side note, this is what Coachella fashion should look like. Continue reading

ENK Coterie

Alea (F&B)

ENK Coterie may not be as glamorous as Milan and Paris shows but it certainly has its bright spots of young designers I look forward to finding. I loved the knit skirts (below) from Soh, which I saw over the weekend. Really beautiful, would be perfect with a soft white T and some brown leather riding boots. Upstate Glam anyone? Also really liked this line Stolen (above) designed by Elyn Wong. Pretty draping and sexy backs in subtle hues of pink and grey. Kit Lee, who designs By Simply Me was another young designer I liked. She’s done three seasons in New York of simple basics and separates with a designer edge, cool shapes and layers. Impossible to find her link online though. Continue reading

The Best Deviled Eggs in America

photo-100

I have been working on a greatest deviled eggs list for a few years now. I have eaten enough eggs to give me a heart attack, which I think has only been staved off because brussel sprouts are still pretty popular on most menus. Every time I think I am done I stumble on a new place that has to be added to the list, which inevitably makes me postpone the post. And let’s be honest, you can never eat too many deviled eggs. They are perfect at brunch with a bloody mary, or for lunch, dinner, really anytime of day it’s like a little piece of flavored protein that just makes everything better. And they’re not hard to make so there is really no excuse for bad ones. That said, there is no point in Continue reading

Erin Featherston & Timo Weiland Spring 2015

erin 16

Blue is taking home the prize as the color of the season. Ditto baby pinks, pastels and crisp whites. There are lots of pretty pleats and lace going around as well, which I am a big fan of. Timo Weiland and Donna Kang found their groove in a perfect blend of the sportswear inspired pieces we love them for but this time gave them a sexy feminine sophistication that should serve them well when the buyers come around. The navy blue trench coat and pink pleated skirt are gorgeous, along with the baby blue Walter Steiger heels. Erin Featherston showed a beautiful feminine flowery collection with the 50’s undertone she does so well. I loved it all, especially the lace and flowers. #Pretty Continue reading
