Even if you’re firmly a heels kind of girl, you have to admit that certain situations and events call for more comfort–which is where the flat comes in. You wouldn’t wear spindly stilettos to a picnic in the park, right? Just like there are many kinds of heels, there is also a whole array of flat shoe styles to choose from. So what design suits your style and personality the best? Answer the questions below to find out!
Every summer my go to each and every time is the seer sucker. Some would call it my summer ‘jam’ and how could I argue with the masses…
With that, we’ve just released the seersucker trouser and just like that…it’s gone. When we built and designed this pant we wanted to create something contemporary that stayed true to the classic silhouette. With an handsewn waist curtain, this pant is completely alterable. Straight slim fitting silhouette with a 7.5″ leg opening it is perfect both with a roll or without. And like we’ve always said, these pants are meant to be worn sans chaussettes (that’s without socks for all you Americans…just sayin’).
Most of our products are very limited mainly because of the fabric that we source. Read full post…
There was a time when I would think of pairing garments as per the color wheel. But thanks to colorblocking, I can get more experimental. Colorblocking is definitely a rage this season and has been seen in geometric prints with short hemline.

The news struck me because the night before, as I sat in bed emailing with a close expat friend of mine about how beautiful Miuccia’s spring show was, she mentioned that the collection reminded her of “Old America, when it was great.”
