Social Calendar, Weekend of 11/13
There’s a lot to do this weekend – and even next week too. It’s been a while since I had a good healthy shopping spree, so I’m very excited to get paid on Friday and lighten the load on my wallet on Saturday. But most important – Fashion Feud on Tuesday! Friday A...Adelle McElveen 12 november om 19:00.
Best Week Ever
VH-1 has nothing on this. Last I discovered three very delightful websites that will undoubtedly become part of my daily habit. 1. Swirl – a new online sample sale site from the wonderful team at Daily Candy. ...Adelle McElveen 09 november om 1:36.
The lion, the witch, and my wardrobe
I love dresses, but wear them relatively infrequently. I blame my closet: it absorbs every dress I buy and releases them into some abyss where, like a trip to Narnia, I can only access them by digging deep into the back of my closet. Ok, ok. ...Adelle McElveen 04 november om 0:19.
Flower Power
If I were a superhero, I think my uniform would be in florals. I looked like a normal person in the Paris subway, but once I realized it was raining outside I whipped out my trench coat and umbrella. Too bad I was wearing canvas shoes. As it turns out, Michelle Obama also likes floral prints...Adelle McElveen 28 oktober om 23:58.
School of Vintage
I didn’t go to the Vintage Fashion Expo because I love vintage clothing. I went as a skeptic who wasn’t quite convinced by the idea of “vintage” clothing. Skepti...Adelle McElveen 01 oktober om 18:02.
Ode to Ra'mon (or, Where's Nina? I'm bored.)
I can’t believe Ramon got Auf’d. I blame it on the fact that Nina seems to have disappeared. What happened to “Don’t Bore Nina!”? Given th...Adelle McElveen 27 september om 0:49.
London Calling
London Fashion week is upon us! …It has been for a few days actually (I have 44 shows to catch up on). London isn’t known for being a heavy-hitter of fashion shows, but more for being the rowdy, rebellious one of the bunch (the bunch being New York, Milan and Paris). In...Adelle McElveen 23 september om 0:23.
NYFW / DIY Lookbooks
For online coverage of Fashion Week my favorite site is at New York Magazine. They have a large section devoted to fashion with lots of cool interactive features, and an up-to-the-minute blog (the Cut) for all things fashion news. Their slideshow feature is the best I’ve seen so far. ...Adelle McElveen 19 september om 9:21.
Social Calendar, Week of 9/13
Fashion Week is happening in New York City (more on that later!), but it’s a busy week in San Francisco too. Here’s what’s up: Tues: Leaf & Petal – Three Dot Trunk show; call 650 329 8070 or check out their Facebook page for the deets. (Palo ...Adelle McElveen 14 september om 21:41.
And the winner is...
After much thought I decided that a striped bag was simple enough travel well, but that the bold colors added the right amount of pizzazz. I also liked how the lines weren’t sharp but bled a little bit, almost like a watercolor painting. ...Adelle McElveen 12 september om 10:01.
In the fitting room with... the romper!
Searching for “romper” in Google, I wasn’t sure if I would find mostly results for children’s wear, or if the romper craze had permeated the search engine. Baby rompers were the 8th listing down – looks like adult rompers have taken over. (Can we call them something else? Calling ...Adelle McElveen 09 september om 19:28.
Prints Charming
Thanks to the book I’m currently reading (The House Dress: A Story of Eroticsm and Fashion) I’ve learned that using printed fabric used to be regarded as a lesser alternative to traditional clothing. It’s much harder to notice seams and stitches beneath a print, so it could be used to disgui...Adelle McElveen 02 september om 23:51.
Searching for... A Weekend Bag
Last week a co-worker mentioned that she would be traveling soon, and asked me if I had any recommendations for a good weekend bag...Adelle McElveen 30 augustus om 20:37.
BCBG #Fail
A couple of Sundays ago I was overwhelmingly enamored of my ribbed tank top collection… and blogged about it. ...Adelle McElveen 27 augustus om 22:02.
White denim with a burst of sunshine
The white denim mentioned yesterday. Noticed the “distressed” look towards the top of the jeans. To this day I don’t understand why people want to buy brand-new clothing with rips and tears, but maybe I’ll get it once I start wearing them.Adelle McElveen 25 augustus om 8:46.
Jewels and Jeans
This past Saturday a couple of friends and I had an 8-hour shopping marathon in Union Square. We shopped ’til we dropped, literally: I passed out on the couch shortly after we got home, and missed a night of dancing. ...Adelle McElveen 23 augustus om 20:41.
