It never fails. The pattern is simple, if difficult to control: I walk into a store, any store, and find myself immediately drawn to them. All other shoes around me fade away; my heart races. Love at first sight. Yes, I am talking about a pair of shoes. In this instance, it’s a pair of …

For the sake of sparing you my long-winded drooling, I’ll say only this: so fresh, so clean. And while I have generally been restricted in my life to sedans or SUVs, dictated simply by the myriad necessities of my day-to-day duties (Hi, can you imagine twenty garment bags stuffed into a backseat?), I’m inclined to …
Dannijo is a sister design duo whose work, while taking from a range of cues, always possesses a slightly off-kilter edge. This cuff, the ‘Dextra’, is made of oxidized and brushed silver, gold, gunmetal and thick slabs of gemstones. Its soft curves and the round etching of the antiqued silver are delicate touches for a cuff that otherwise screams: ‘don’t …
Bold rock-‘n-roll statement accessory and a weapon against creepers jealous of your unimpeachable taste? YES, please. While Pamela Love may not be a secret among the style cognoscenti, what is most notable about her work is the clever way in which she manages to evolve the collection’s distinctive point of view. Rough hewn and perfectly imperfect, she designs jewelry the …

Roksanda Ilincic’s watermelon-hued silk jacket is a welcoming ode to the passing of the first official day of Spring, and the please-be-here-soon warmer days to come. Pair this silk wonder with neutral-toned separates to ease into the palette, or go all-out and colorblock ’til you drop. Any way you wear it, Roksanda Ilincic’s silk jacket exudes a sense of …
This Kirkwood wonder retails for roughly 7K. A paltry sum, I’d say, for THE ULTIMATE TRUMP CARD. I adore Kirkwood and his work for more reasons than I can enumerate, but paramount among them is his ability to balance the avante-garde with a commercial sensibility: a rare, and difficult, compromise.
This one isn’t for the timid or the shy. Samantha House’s Lauren Kay Necklace is made of thick slices of gold-plated agate with nude quartz overlay, suspended securely from a snaking gold chain.

Season after season, Christopher Bailey translates Burberry’s storied heritage into clever, and sometimes irreverent, takes on the house’s signature: outerwear. Here, in his thousandth iteration of a trench, Bailey would have us believe that, to think!, little of what we own can stand up next to the cool of this: the newest, the freshest, the yes-it-is-actually-cooler-than-what-I-own-damn-it-damn-it-damn-it. But to …
A clear 50s nod in a distinctly modern treatment: delicate lace in a saturated scarlet, with just enough feminine detail to declare ‘I’m here’ without saying ‘look at me.’ A fitted bodice, sheer sleeves, an elegantly gathered, nipped waist, and a scalloped, knee-grazing hem. Pearls would be too obvious; instead, pair it back to sky-high …
