Best Stiletto Shoes

Best Stiletto Shoes

Stiletto shoes are a study in trade-offs. The heel gives a clean line, but the shoe earns its place only when the upper, toe, and fastening keep the rest of the foot from doing all the labour. I look first at the shape of the heel, then at whether the shoe has a slingback or stra

The Winter Coats Edit

The Winter Coats Edit

How To Judge Handmade Jewelry From A Photo

Yes, a photo can tell you a great deal about handmade jewelry, but not everything. Use it to judge proportion, visible texture, color relationships, and whether the finish looks intentional; do not treat it as proof of weight, comfort, or durability. Start with scale. A large drop can frame the

The Little Black Dress: Which Neckline, Which Length, Which Occasion

The Little Black Dress: Which Neckline, Which Length, Which Occasion

A little black dress only works if the length matches your frame and the occasion, and Frankies Bikinis' Moon Lace Mini Dress and Khaite's longer pieces sit at opposite ends of that idea. This edit sorts black dresses by length, from mini to midi to maxi, and by the shoe that keeps each one from going flat.

The Tote Bags Edit

The Tote Bags Edit

The best tote bags are the ones that carry a real day without making you feel as if you packed for an expedition. I want enough room for the practical things, handles that stay comfortable and a shape that still looks composed when the bag is not perfectly full. My rule is to spe
