CLOGS
  • What: CLOGS
  • Who: Jenny, Maryland
  • Question: I would love to get some clogs for everyday wear for this fall, without investing too much in a trendy type of shoe. What do you think of this one? Is there a better style/color that will be great for a SAHM who works part time and wants to up the style quotient of her jeans uniform just a bit? :)
  • Answer: We are not huge clogs fans and have debated posting them for awhile now. That said we actually like this pair. We like that they are not super clunky and heavy looking. The skinnier heel and the height of the heel give them an elegance that clogs don't usually have. We say if you want clog this is as good a pair as any. In fact we might even post them!
Black everyday bag
  • What: Black everyday bag
  • Who: Tiffany, California
  • Question: I'm looking for a black, everyday bag--not too trendy but also makes a statement. I would love your thoughts on this Giant City bag by Balenciaga with Rose Gold Hardware. Other contenders include the Medium Chloe Paraty and Givenchy Nightingale (your thoughts on these and any other recommendations would be great.) Because of the high price point, I would like a bag that will take me through the years.
  • Answer: First of all: you can't go wrong with any of these 3 bags. They are all gorgeous, have supple leather and minimal hardware. That said, the Chloe is our favorite. We love the simplicity of the design with the details of the gold hardware. That one seems the most timeless to us but as we said you seriously can't go wrong!! Enjoy your new purchase.
Anthropologie Vagabond Dress
  • What: Anthropologie Vagabond Dress
  • Who: Christine, NYC
  • Question: I love an easy jersey dress that can go from summer into fall. I also love the color of this dress as it's a beautiful shade of blue. What are your thoughts on this dress and how would you dress it up for evening?
  • Answer: We agree with you about this color. It is pretty, flattering and season-less. Love that it is a rich color without being black. Our only concern about the dress is if it could make one look hip-py? If you have tried it on and it is flattering, we really like it. Dress it up by wearing a pair of strappy metallic sandals, stacking on some bangles/bracelets or wearing a great pair of statement earrings.
