How To Wear: Two-Strap Sandals


Okay, let's discuss this season's shoe epidemic: two-strap, heeled sandals. As far as trends go, this one's worth a try. Unlike past seasons' chunky heels, these minimalist sandals have a slimming effect, elongating the leg.

But how to wear? The verdict on the streets: wear with skinny jeans, mini skirts, boyfriend jeans, or flowy shorts. Balance your look with a fitted top for minis and boyfriend jeans or a loose blouse for skinnies and shorts.

The End of an Era


Okay, that title's a tad dramatic. And maybe just a little self-centered. But I'm a (former) college student, I'm allowed to mourn my graduation, right?

In the midst of job applications and apartment hunting, I split my time between pitying myself and feeling nostalgic. Ahh, to be young again. Who knew that being a grown-up could be so, well, boring?

So what better way to distract myself from the endless onslaught of employment rejections than daydreaming of another time? A time seventy years before my birth...the roaring 20's.

Enter: Karlie Kloss, the dog from "The Artist," and some male model (fine, his name's Clément Chabernaud). The three starred in Americana Manhasset's fall catalog, with fringe frocks and head-pieces galore.
