Mad for "Mad Men"


With the second season of “Mad Men” premiering this week, all I can think about is that early '60s style: blouses, skirts, and the necessary pump. And with shopbop, I’ve found updated versions of that ultra-feminine silhouette. The smocked blouse from Tucker pairs a smart print with lightweight silk, and Robert Rodriguez’s pintuck blouse dresses up with sheer chiffon. Anna Sui’s checked blouse is a little more avant-garde, but still keeps a uniquely classic shape. Tweed is showing up for fall and Rebecca Taylor’s skirt keeps it cute with a flounce hem. Vince’s Dirndl Skirt is understated and pretty. I’m a sucker for peep toe pumps, so Kate Spade’s Georgia pump and Marc by Marc’s open toe pump are instant favorites. Now all I need to find is a fedora-sporting ad exec.

First Fashion: Our Favorites from What's New

Impulse shopping is an extreme sport in the world of fashion. Here are my three endorphin-raising favorites from today’s What’s New.
Like a big candy rock on the top of a sour apple Ring Pop, the giant jewel on this cocktail ring from Kenneth Jay Lane puts it squarely under the title “Extreme Signature Accessory.”
Cute and comfy, this jersey bra and panty from Only Hearts are perfect for lazy, all-day lounging or that cross-country trip that includes a 5-hour layover in Detroit.
With a busy print and a notched collar, this silk romper from Anna Sui begs for vintage ’80s sunglasses, a kiddie pool, and a white wine spritzer.

On Your Mark... Spring's Off to the Races

The burning rubber, the checkered flag, the heat on the asphalt: We're feeling the need for speed. But while we're not exactly Indy or NASCAR girls at heart, this season we're embracing the style because the racetrack has inspired more than one fabulous spring look. L.A.M.B.'s doing leather jackets, while Anna Sui is decked out in checks. Rachel Pally has racing stripe fever, and Helmut Lang reinterpreted blacktop. Spring's off to the races and we're going along for the ride. On your mark. Get set. Go, to shopbop.
