I always love it when my favorite designers get picked up by my favorite boutiques…and so it is with Ananas. I’ve loved Ananas’ unique, retro-style bags for years, and am so excited they’re also carried now at StefaniBags. Ananas bags are all made in New York City and many use...

By popular demand and several requests, I’m going to try to revive the outfit of the day feature…although, in all honesty, it may end up being more like “outfit of every couple of days”, or “outfit of the week,” but I’ll give it my best shot! What I’m...

Ah…remember when…Hayden-Harnett was just starting out when I started Grechen’s Closet; their Havana Hobo was the first bag I ever reviewed. I like to think we’ve grown up together! (Look at them now!!!) The Havana Hobo has always been my favorite HH style through the years,...

I’ve mentioned before how frustrating it’s been for me to try and find boots to fit my large (more like giant) calves. Whenever I do find a pair that seem like they could work for my calves, they always bunch up around the ankle, and that’s not a good look… So, I’ve always...

I’m going to be on a handbag roll here for a while…you know handbags are my first and most important love. Just bear with me, okay? I know you’ll love all the new designers/bags I’ll be featuring too! So, when BOYY bags first came out a couple of years ago, they intrigued me for...

I was really in love with Rachel Comey’s Fall 2008 Collection, not so much with Spring 2009. What I loved the most about Fall 2008 – the vivid prints – are missing from Spring 2009, or at least they are much more muted. I loved the mixture of feminine dresses with heavy boots in Fall...

You know, I thought I was over the maxi dress after last Summer; I was personally a little tired of the look, and conflicted about how flattering they were on me. But with new Spring pieces slowly surfacing, I’m beginning to rethink my position… Behold: Both of those dresses above are...

It’s time for my periodic Comme Des Garcons update here on Grechen’s Closet – I simply cannot profess my love enough… I’m still in LOVE with my large wallet (mine is like this, but blue): and am trying VERY HARD to resist buying this (I’ve been coveting for months),...

I am so tired of posting sales and seeing the same old thing lately. Actually, this is the first time ever I’ve been excited about new Spring arrivals in January (usually, I think it’s silly that designers debut Spring pieces so early); I’m simply craving something different, something...
