Have you earned your stripes this season?

Written on November 11, 2011 by Hunter Honey

Wrap up warm in cosy knitwear this winter. Luxurious kits all rigorously horizontally striped represented the vast majority of the casual vein in the Dolce&Gabbana FW11 eccentric menswear collection.

Who said that stripes were nautical? For many seasons, fashion has interpreted stripes in the summer collections with a marine feel. Red and white or blue and white shirts teamed with shorts or white cropped trousers flooded the summer collections lending them a nautical inspired look.

For FW11, Dolce&Gabbana, to maintain the eccentric key to the collection, present a wide variety of striped knitwear, more inspired by a slightly dark gondolier than an all American squeaky-clean sailor.

Crew Neck Jumper €345, Jeans €325, Boots €625, Trilby €145

A sleek yet iconographic eccentric look. Team a

L Is For Love, Life, And A Little Bit of Leather

Written on October 30, 2011 by Hunter Honey

The leaves are starting to change, the nights are slowly getting longer, and the summer dresses are reluctantly being put away…Well, not if I can help it that is.

Fall is a lovely time of year where we can all bond through our chunky sweaters and perpetually runny noses, but for most it signals the end of your cute dresses and the start of your Eskimo parkas.

…But it doesn’t have to be. T

There’s a Story Behind Every Wedding Dress

Written on October 29, 2011 by Cody Whitefoord

Every bride in the world will tell you there is a story behind her wedding dress.  A story about how she found it.  About how she felt when she put it on.  And about what the dress says about her and her wedding.  Sometimes, theres also a good story is about what not to do when looking for your dream dress.

If you want to read exactly what not to do when wedding dress shopping, take a peek at Tracis post about her first (hilarious) wedding dress shopping experience.  Alls well that end well, (including finding this gorgeous Romona Keveza gown).
