The Fashionista Lab

One chilly Chicago spring (while I was in college), I watched an episode of Sex and the City where Carrie wore white pumps. They weren’t at all integral to the story, but they were what stuck with me. I promptly went out and bought a pair of cheap-o white pumps that probably didn’t make it [...]

Quite possibly the best – and most dangerous – thing to happen to the Internet yesterday, Barney’s decided to make their Warehouse sale available online, all the time. Now super chi-chi brands are actually within reach – some at splurge level, but still a lot at mall prices. I took a look this morning and [...]

This isn’t about fashion per se, but I found these over the weekend and wanted to share them with you. All images from the Keep Calm Shop.

This morning at 9am PST Gilt Groupe unleashed three Target collaborations available for pre-sale before they hit Target stores: Mulberry (accessories), Tucker by Gaby Basora (clothing), and John Derian (home goods) for Target.
