Here (on the right) we have Ashley Olsen in Alaia sandals. Below, vintage Herbert Levine. (Levine photo via Enokiworld. Sorry, the Levines are sold.) Speaking of sandals, if you’re a size 37 (and act quickly), you can get the Gucci sandal pictured below at Bergdorf Goodman for $582, down from $895. But if you’re a…

Happy Birthday, Madonna
Madonna is 49 today, and I remember listening to her when she was 26. To be exact, I remember listening to her on vinyl, in the basement of my parents’ house, with my friend Brian whom I tutored in Spanish. I also remember going to her show at Radio City instead of my high school…
Zandra Rhodes
The New York Times style section has an article on British designer Zandra Rhodes. A year or two ago, some British friends took us to see Zandra’s Fashion and Textile Museum in South London. We had a tough time finding it and were rattling all over South London in a tiny car containing four adults…
Great Minds Think Alike…About Sashes
When I saw this beautiful Jonathan Saunders dress in the window of Bergdorf Goodman …. CLICK HERE TO SEE THE DRESS. … the Marc Jacobs dress from 2004 on Liv Tyler immediately sprang to mind. Embed from Getty Images They’re certainly not identical though. It must just be the sash.

She’s Not a Playboy Bunny
She’s a fashionista rabbit! I love the whimsical drawings of Fifi Lapin, who models all the latest styles. I am especially amused by her bio (“I was born one of 257 brothers and sisters…”) but my all-time favorite entry is, of course, Fifi dreaming of Ossie Clark.Above, me in one of my Ossies. I’d like…
Pink J. Crew Jacket
I haven’t shopped at J. Crew in years and years (though I remember in those pre-Internet days ordering by phone from their catalog in the middle of the night). But I’m intrigued by this pink jacket. There’s some nice detail on the back and it comes in several other colors as well. Get it here.
