You Might See This Clutch in Renee Zellweger's Next Movie
According to the designer, Briana Lundeen's publicist, when she slipped Renee the bag in Greenville, SC (where the actress was accepting the keys to the city), "[She] announced to EVERYONE, I'm going to use this in the wardrobe for my next film!"

The Search: The Perfect Summer Gown for the Hamptons

If you live in the Northeast, especially NYC, you know it's all about the Hamptons in the summer: the parties, the celebs, the beach, the celebs, the schmoozing.....did I mention the celebs? Well, either way one must have the perfect evening dress for all of the fantastic parties. This Vera Wang green sequined, floor length dress does the trick for me.

Men Who Aren't Scottish Should Never Wear Skirts

Summer has finally arrived in the Pacific Northwest and that means one thing: It's Utilikilt time! In the last 10 days, having recently been in Seattle, Eugene, and back to Portland, I've seen no fewer than a dozen of these horrible toolbelts-parading-as-man-skirts on the lithe bodies of otherwise seemingly normal dudes. Why, oh why??? Ladies, let us assert control over one of the few things that we control in this life - fashion - and show these misguided gents that pleated skirts belong to us.

How Men Should Rock Shorts in the Summer
This gent totally rocks out a pair of white cabana shorts by pairing them with a classic navy blazer and funky leather floral pin; extra points for the Gucci bag. Love it!

Trend Alert: Blood Red Pumps

These two young ladies were standing back to back at a groovy art party the other night and didn't even realize that they were both rocking blood red pumps until I asked them to pose together. Take style note that though both pair are peep toe, they differ in the use of materials (leather and satin) as well as the embellish design elements (strappy ankles, frontal bow.)
