5 Under Fifty · Spotlight Feature
As the temperatures get warmer, our hems get shorter and our bare (and hopefully manicured) tootsies get to make a long-awaited appearance. If you’re transitioning your wardrobe for summer, it’s time to ditch those unsightly flip flops and instead go for a sexy, summertime sandal. You’ll be on trend and (continued…)
This Father’s Day, our fathers, brothers, uncles and grandfathers will be celebrated in the spirit of fatherhood. Typically held on the third Sunday in June, Father’s Day is the one day reserved for letting the influential male figures in our lives know just how important they are to us. And (continued…)
There are some fabrics—like linens and chiffons—that work well for summer. But then there are those delicate, feminine fabrics—using techniques such as broderie anglaise—that are synonymous with summer. Known also as eyelet lace, broderie anglaise—which dates back to the 16th century—is a needlework technique that incorporates cutting small eyelets into (continued…)
This past Memorial Day weekend, also known as Bluth weekend, was the debut of the glitzy HBO film, “Behind The Candelabra,” starring Michael Douglas as Liberace and Matt Damon as Liberace’s longtime lover/driver Scott Thorson. While Douglas played the schmaltzy, over-the-top pianist to perfection—really, who could forget his one-liners?—the often (continued…)
Punk fashion was all about DIY—taking something old or used and making a statement, whether political or for shock value. And as much as we respect and understand the decisions of brands that rely on higher price points to maintain the exclusivity and value of their clothing, certainly a $41,000 (continued…)
Perhaps Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder got it right when they created the 1982-released song “Ebony and Ivory.” One thing is for sure, these two colors definitely live together in perfect harmony, especially in fashion. There’s nothing quite like the contrasting result of a bright, crisp white paired with a (continued…)
The premiere of Baz Luhrmann’s “The Great Gatsby” is almost here, and already we’re seeing lots of 1920s flapper era-inspired clothing replete with geometric patterns, scalloped edges, intricate bead work and over sized, dramatic jewelery, like multi-layered pearl strings and thick, ornate bangles. Take, for example, Tiffany’s, who recently launched a (continued…)
Ever since Nichole Richie stepped out wearing leather in spring last year, it’s kind of been a thing. Dressed in all black, Richie wore a Winter Kate by Nicole Richie laser-cut leather top, which instantly gained popularity among the fashion crowd. While leather is typically reserved for the colder months, (continued…)
etallic shorts are back like never before. No longer just reserved for strippers and American Apparel ads, there’s a looser and more fashion-forward version in town that doesn’t just come in size tight, silver and shiny. Designers are embracing the short shorts in luxe, rich materials and prints—like tweed, jacquard, (continued…)
Like “James Bond,” we’re all about diamonds being forever. Really, who doesn’t love diamonds? Rocks aside, we especially love the geometric, criss-cross patterns, which are perfect for making bold, graphic statements on clothing. If you’re feeling fashionably adventurous, try mixing patterns by taking a larger diamond print and pairing it (continued…)
In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, we’re bringing you today’s 5 Under Fifty straight from the heart, quite literally. Who says you can’t wear hearts all year around?

Invented in 1815 by Sir David Brewster, who, at the time, was conducting experiments on light polarization, the kaleidoscope — with its multi-colors, geometric angles and trick mirror imagery — has been a form of visual entertainment for many decades. During the Victorian age, the kaleidoscope peaked in popularity, as (continued…)
There’s nothing like rich, ornate fabrics to get you in the mood for the colder months, and thankfully, the Baroque trend has arrived just in time for winter.

It’s Halloween and we’re wearing our best costume, which unfortunately can only be worn today.
