Back in August, Pocket Lint raved about Levi’s making “the most amazing boyfriend jeans EVER.” I remember thinking, I gotta get over to the Levi’s store…and then promptly forget. This little bit of stored denim data was brought to the fore this weekend when I popped into Club Monaco, which now stocks the 501 Boyfriend [...]

Alright, alright, iPhone, you win! You win! I’ve resisted you all this time—kind of, of course, I did want you, like everyone else in the world. In fact, the dad asked me over the holidays if I was still holding dear to my Blackberry or if my heart was on to the iPhone. Not his [...]

Yes, I’m well aware that it’s 75 degrees out, sun blazing in the January sky. I also have to concede, to my chagrin, that I cannot justify indulging in one of Spratters & Jayne’s nubby, handmade, custom-dyed scarves.

No joke, I get an insane amount of compliments on my Melissa flats—the ethically- and sustainably-minded shoe brand from Brazil, which collabs with genius artists, ranging from Zaha Hadid to Vivienne Westwood. I have a round-toe pair with cut-out and a pointy pair from Melissa’s collab with Alexandre Herchcovitch, both ridiculously comfortably and easy to [...]

As longtime B+S readers will know, I am quite a fan of LA label Society for Rational Dress—the hardware and leather details, the sexy drape of silks and knits, a confident femininity that doesn’t need poufs and pink and excess to tell the story.
I would’ve never guessed a couple weeks ago when the [...]

B+S contributor Lilliam Rivera was not kidding when she said she’d done some online shopping at TOMS Shoes Fashion’s Night Out event. She was rocking the Aira Condones ($79) when I saw her last week—the leather and canvas lace-ups looking adorable with a pair of skinny ankle-grazing jeans. And like my previous TOMS experience, she [...]

I am in love with this dress. The ‘Brazil’ dress by LA label Kristinit landed in my inbox from the talented hands of LA designer Kristina Lenss, part of her LOVE campaign collection for fall, which melds sustainable fabrics with handmade lace meticulously woven by artisans in the Amazon. For me, the collection [...]
