It’s been way too long since I’ve done a Fashionmista Friday post, and I was reminded of this by a reader who emailed me the following:
Phil,
You have been very remiss on the latest in fashion footware. I am including the latest for your edification.

These heels were originally designed by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel and [...]

I got an urgent email today that said the following:
Attached is a dress in the mall that was designed for women with lopsided boobs. Send the fashion police quickly.
Attached was the following picture.

Hence we have Fashionmista Friday on Tuesday. Special edition style. Words almost escape me here. I’m sure there are those who might [...]

I love the internet. Mostly because I love Jessica and Heather from Go Fug Yourself. And yet another reason to love them is that they pointed me to a another fancy fashion blog, the catty and brilliant Project Rungay.

This week, they were talking shoes. And they covered the topic of shoes very nicely indeed. So [...]

It’s a burgeoning world of fashion out there, and not all of it good. Up on the chopping block this week is Phillip Lim. His fall line was featured on style.com in September, and I was at first excited to see a collection of both men’s and women’s clothing. Until, that is, I actually saw [...]

Everyone seems to be going crazy these days about Michelle Obama and what a fabulous fashion sense she has. I’m here to tell you that there’s certainly a reason why she’s the cause for such buzz. In addition to being very well-spoken and beautiful, her wardrobe really does reflect good taste.
Her most popular dress this [...]

I’m worried. First polka dots, and now hoopskirts? Seriously, fashion industry. We need to go for “less is more.” This fabric bigness will not do.

For the sake of clarity, I’d like to point out that a dress ceases to look fabulous when you can see the slip beneath it. When said slip goes below the [...]

I can’t say that I was excited to hear the news that polka dots are making a comeback this spring. This stems, in part, from the fact that I believe that the only place polka dots belong are on pajamas. In other words, the fewer people who actually have to see them, the better.
Wanting to [...]
