Felted by desire: Try a real hat

Sure a beret is cute. Try a Trilby, down turned fedora or floppy felt hat for some big time drama. There's a definite chill in the air. It's hard to chic when you're all bundled up. You really must treat yourself to something major-- in a big style rather than big ticket way. What about a big ol' serious felt hat? Sure we love a fluffy faux fur cossack hat. Who doesn't like a beret? Knit caps are cute and practical. But you crave drama, the drama of a statement making hat. Aqua Floppy Felt Hat with Patent Trim at Bloomingdale's. A fedora with a down brim. A smart Trilby. Or, that big floppy felt that we've been drooling over

Winter Whites… Can you really wear a white dress in January? Hi! First off...LOVE YOU! Quick question-- it is currently the month of January, so the middle of the winter. Going along with the whole "don't wear white after Labor Day" thought, can you reallywear a white dress after Labor Day? I'm thinking about wearing a white dress with black buttons, a black belt, black tights, and black pumps. Is this okay? (Geismar, LA) Ah thanks, I love those who love me too (big wink)… LOL! White worn in the winter is more about its fabric rather than its shade, and, of course, the climate. It can be just the right color to transition you into spring or to brighten up

Oslo Style: How to dress in snowy and slushy weather

Style tips to look cute in bad winter weather… This week has been far from glamorous when it comes to dressing!

This fall's collection is a homage to "Modern Suffragettes," pioneering women through time. But what I are see is a collection that evokes that downtown sensibility of the real Helmut Lang, Martin Margiela, Costume National, and all those great designers who can make effortless so edgy and timeless.
