Seriously? J. Crew Denim Jumpsuit

I am pretty much speechless on this one. This J. Crew denim jumpsuit isn't even flattering on the model. I have no idea how on what planet J. Crew thinks this jumpsuit looks chic...and at $298 bucks, I have no idea who is lining up to fork out so much cash for one of these.  Granted, it's only $300 for an entire outfit...if you are trying to look like a clown or a prison inmate.  Yes, there is such a thing as too much denim...and this is an example.

Looking Forward to Spring: Wonderful Wedges

Wonderful Wedges

Wonderful Wedges by nycandparis featuring wedge sandal shoes

If you are in a place like where I live, there is still snow on the ground, but that doesn't mean I can't start thinking about spring...or summer even. I feel like spring is just around the corner, even if I am still wearing knee-high boots, scarves, and puffy coats.  Watching all of the clothing lines roll out their new spring collections has been contributing to my eagerness to get into the spirit of spring, get in the spirit of spring. I've started zeroing in on my favorite trends, and one of them is definitely wedge sandals in a nude or brown color. There are so many out there in every price point, it is impossible not to find some that you fancy.  Going with more of a nude color definitely works to lengthen your legs as much as possible, especially if you pair them with a shorter skirt, cropped trouser or shorts. But they also look just as good peeking out from underneath longer pants for work, and they still keep their magic leg-lengthening effect.  So what are you waiting for? Go forth and find your own pair of wonderful wedges!

Seriously, Why Would You Wear a Bag that Needs a Bra? The Helmut Lang Loki Bag.



So Barneys New York is launching an exclusive pre-sale on Facebook to give people an advance opportunity to buy the bag pictured above, the Helmut Lang Loki Bag.  So the question is, why would anybody be clamoring a bag that looks like it needs its own bra?  God forbid either of those zippers opened in public, and I'd be worried about getting cited for indecent exposure.  Not to knock Helmut Lang, but this bag is not making it onto any "must have" lists . . .
