Defined: Classic Cocktail Dress

Nowadays, any dress that isn’t full length and satin can be considered a “cocktail dress”, but once upon a time, this wasn’t so…
“The thought nof a cocktail dress instantly brings  to mind a certain type of glass, a cherry or skewered olive, and a very specific social setting - and, from today’s point of view, [...]

Iconic: Liela Moss of The Duke Spirit

Since the theme of Broke & Beautiful these days has been somewhere along the lines of: rebellious chic, rocker glam, and feminine sophisticate… I figured that this would be the perfect time to introduce you to Liela Moss of the UK rock group, The Duke Spirit.

She’s got a passion for black, an obsession with feathers, [...]

Hook, Line, Sinker: Bone Hook Necklaces

Behold! The amazing Whitney Thompson, winner of the most recent America’s Next Top Model (Cycle 10). The first model with some ta’s! It’s about time!
My good friend Jen alerted me to this stunning photo of Whitney after her victory on the show, and she was simply captivated by the beautiful “fish hook necklace” and summoned [...]

Coveting: The Kate Necklace

Sound charming does it? Well, “charms” are definitely an important part of this piece.
The site describes the entire necklace in the first couple of sentences better than I could even dare to:

What do we have here? A sparkling faceted dangling crystal, a brass spoon, a small glass vile with a white powdery substance in [...]

What a doll!

There’s a delicious trio in the high fashion modeling world who have been tagged as “The Dollface Girls.” This troop includes Lily Cole, Gemma Ward, and Heather Marks. All three just gorgeous. And definitely doll-like.

While I can honestly recognize that… without severe and awful amounts of plastic surgery, I’ll never have a naturally button-shaped mouth, [...]

“Gothic” Romance

The word “goth” and “gothic” has been literally slain by mass media. These days, it means striped tights, mesh, and a metric ton of black eyeliner. If you’d like to read confessions of a mainstream goth turned fashion pro, check out this article by Gala Darling.
This is not so!
Gothic is a term used to describe [...]

Amy W.: I knew she was cool!

According to Fashion Week Daily’s Chic Report, Amy Winehouse put up her Dolce & Gabbana dress she wore at the Grammys on eBay, where it auctioned it off for £1,950!
Where did the cash go?
Options: Crack cocaine, bail money, tattoos… charity?
Hell yes! Charity. She gave all of the proceeds to a cancer charity called The Lavender [...]

Movies: Waiting for the Girls (SITC)

It’s borderline excrutiating waiting for the Sex in the City movie to be released. Today is February 19th, and it’s supposed to release in May. That’s a potential three month wait! WHY THE TORTURE?
And in the meantime, we’re forced to be subjected to such things as Lindsay Lohan’s super-boob exposé as Marilyn Monroe? Cruelty.
However, thanks [...]

MASI: Mae West

“When I’m good, I’m very good, but when I’m bad, I’m better!”
In the interest of the impending Hallmark Holiday of St. Valentine, I thought it’d be appropriate to use this edition of Mock a Style Icon about the uber-sex bomb, Mae West.

Mae West’s (Mary Jane’s) [b. 1896] super sex appeal started early, but not in [...]

What’s White, Black, and Red All Over?

UPDATE 2/7/08: Links fixed, sorry!! xoxo.
While you might read this headline and cringe from the memories brought up of junior high school and the onslaught of dead baby jokes or whatnot. . . Colorblocked or themed wardrobes and coming out of the closet (pun!) as chic, bold and just plain attractive.

Taking a page from master [...]
