Favorite: Weston iPhone case

by grechen on March 19, 2012 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

I don’t have a case on my iPhone. Mostly because I don’t think it really needs one, and I haven’t found one that I’ve been willing to spend much money on until I saw these cases by Weston at Net-a-Porter. I’m a sucker for geodes and all things gemstone, and I find the price of these to be pretty reasonable at $50. I mean, most cases now are at least $30-$35…

This or That? Flat Toe-ring Sandals

by grechen on February 14, 2012 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

flat toe sandals

this: Splendid at Piperlime (15% off today with code XOXO)
that: Diane von Furstenberg at Net-a-Porter

I love a good toe-ring sandal. But I can’t decide if I like the t-strap style of the Splendid sandal (I know I like the price), or the wider band of the DvF better? What do you think? Do you have a pair of toe-ring sandals?

Favorite: Splendid Dress + Bright Accessories

by grechen on February 6, 2012 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

This Splendid dress is so simple (and yes, grey), but easily perked up with bright accessories. I love the shoes more than the bag, but you get the point. I’d always rather wear brighter accessories than clothing.

Favorite: MICHAEL Michael Kors long skirt

by grechen on January 18, 2012 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

Yes, I know I have everything I need, and I probably have way too many long skirts, but I’m thinking this navy patterned maxi skirt by MICHAEL Michael Kors would look SO GOOD with my new yellow Balenciaga bag…

If I were a different person…

March 21, 2011

(And by “different person” I mean tall & skinny) I’d wear these Vanessa Bruno shorts: I’m generally not a fan of shorts though. Not only just on me because of my large(r) legs, but on a lot of other people too. I feel like a knee-length skirt is just as “cool” in the Summer (or [...]

This is me not shopping

January 6, 2011

Perhaps all the trouble with my James Perse order is the universe’s way of telling me that I should stick to my resolution #4 NOT TO BUY MORE STUFF. It’s not working. (it doesn’t seem to be working for Tina either. sorry) Maybe my resolution should be to simply embrace my need to shop and [...]

Outfit: Copycat

February 15, 2010

I saw this picture while browsing Net-a-Porter the other day, and just for kicks, thought I’d try to copy it – I actually own tht T by Alexander Wang shirt and the James Perse sweater, and similar shoes, bags & pants, so it wouldn’t be that difficult. I’m also wearing Hudson pants, Alexander Wang Diego [...]

How to do Harem Pants

June 4, 2009

Yeah, I can’t believe I’m writing this either, but honestly, I think harem pants are getting a bad rap. They don’t suit everyone; they’re a trend that only the very bold can pull off. Which is why I think many just dismiss them outright – because personally, they can’t wear them. No, not everyone is [...]

Net-a-Porter Outnet Launches!

April 16, 2009

We’ve been hearing about the new “outlet” version of Net-a-Porter, Outnet for months, and now it’s finally here. Outnet is where Net-a-Porter’s out-of-season/last year’s designs go to get marked down, at least 30-80%. They’re also, as they say, going to “keep things interesting” by offering pop-up sales and limited time offers similar to sample sale [...]

The New Mini Messenger.

March 25, 2009

I will always be a big-bag girl – I love the way bigger bags look on most women, but they’re also much more practical for daily use. I personally carry mostly BIG bags, but I do have one smaller bag (a Chloe Paddington camera messenger bag) that I use when I need a small bag [...]

Hot Pink Excess…

March 23, 2009

I’m a sucker for pink, nearly any shade of pink works for me (not necessarily ON me – ballet pink makes me look washed out) but I have a special love for hot pink (can you tell???), antique rose and ballet pink. Since neon accessories are all the rage now, I’m checking out the various [...]
