Setting the Mood: White Heat

By |July 8th, 2013|Setting the Mood|

summer whites mood boardHalfway through summer and all the way to the top of the thermometer.  The July heat is nearly unbearable and it’s those humid days where it feels as if anything heavier than a tissue would be too much to wear.  While a New  Yorker’s standard uniform seems to be perpetually black, reversing roles in all white seems to lighten things both literally and figuratively.  Ivory, bone, eggshell, and stark white in linen, lace, crochet and chiffon will keep you cool and cool you down.

Friday Frocks: Second Skin

By |September 30th, 2011|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

There’s been plenty of buzz in regards to Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman costume for the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises film… and judging by this photo, I can see why.  Anne looks pretty sexual.  The funny thing is, there’s not much skin showing.  The only skin that is showing is that of her leather catsuit.  Throughout time we’ve seen that if you stick a woman in some skin tight leather, you’ve immediately got yourself a bombshell.  There is just something about black leather that can make even the most demure damn suddenly sexy.
