If you were to leave Mobile, Alabama heading directly south, you would hit the Yucatan Penninsula, or the toe of Mexico. If you continued on a little farther, you would come to the town of Tulum, named by the Mayans who first inhabited it, meaning City of Dawn. Barely visible from the main beach road, there is a pop-up tent. There is no direct path to the entrance so you have to wind yourself through the trees and small growth out front. Inside, the floor is covered with Persian rugs. Chalinas and rebozos (traditional shawls made of cotton, wool or silk) hang from rope that serves as hanging racks, and simple baskets litter the floor.

There are a few vintage-looking glass cases that house rosaries and necklaces made of cotton that have been knotted, twisted and frayed. Some have amulets. There are woven leather sandals and bags made out of leather and the rebozo fabric. There are long gauzy skirts and a few embroidered blouses but the colors are muted, earth tones. It is a welcome respite from the ubiquitous colorfully embroidered pueblo dresses you see everywhere else you go in Tulum. You feel as if you have stepped off the Sahara into a desert oasis back in the 1930’s. If Tulum isn’t on your destination list, some of their pieces will be available at Colette in Paris and Barney’s New York.

Buy Fringe for Fall

Administrator — Fri, 20 May 2011 18:46:45 +0000

Fringe is a huge trend for Fall 2011. I love this yellow and black crochet skirt by Proenza Schouler. It reminds me of a hanging plant holder my parents had in the 70’s but it’s so chic, pared with a masculine white blouse that I would totally wear it .This season, Alexander Wang added sexy, feminine fabrics to his hard-edge, tough girl looks. Beyond the satin in this skirt, he showed mink wrapped sunglasses!

I’m not sure if this is fringe or an accordian pleat but, Luca Luca’s grey chiffon skirt is super elegant and feminine.

Diane von Furstenberg’s Fall Collection showed fringe details on shawls, bags, and boots that looked super chic without being too costumey.

The Best Oscar Dresses

I think Mila Kunis looked the best in Elie Saab Couture

It was a very daring choice but, I loved Cate Blanchett in this gown by Givenchy.

Hallie Steinfeld looked adorable in Marchesa.

Amy Adams was radiant in Valentino and Cartier

Anne Hathaway had more outfit changes than I could count but she looked fresh all night long. Bravo Rachel Zoe (and Anne, of course!)

Penchant for custom made clothing?

Administrator — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 02:24:01 +0000

If you favor clothes that fit you perfectly, in beautiful colors, in fabrics of your choice, but don’t want to spend thousands of dollars, your solution is here: Penchant Dressmakers. You go to their small but chic showroom in Midtown Manhattan where you will be shown samples of dresses in 3 styles with variable necklines, hemlines, and sleeve lengths. Easy. It gets trickier when you have to decide on the color and fabric (there are so many to chose from). Go with an idea of what you want but don’t be afraid to be persuaded by Agnes, the charming proprietor. The beauty is that you can get a dress that looks and fits like a Narcisco Rodriguez for a fraction of the price. Plus, if you are a size that is hard to find, they make everything from a 000 to an 18+. If you can’t get to the showroom, check out their site at www.penchantdressmakers.com.
