Kors Light
Michael Kors Presents Winter Fur Collection While resort is just beginning, fur season is getting into full swing. At a presentation on Monday, Michael Kors showed a collection full of capes and tunics done in nearly weightless furs — in particular a suntan pullover with a cashmere back and a long lavender wrap, both in unlined, knitted fox. While some pieces were more structured, they never looked cumbersome. Highlights included a basic Barguzin sable beauty; a suede-backed, white mink cape and the amusing mixes of goat and mink for slender short coats. None the less luxurious, this collection skewed younger and sportier than ever.

Bottega Vinetta Cruise 2012
At Bottega Veneta, Tomas Maier took a double-sided approach to the season. “The challenge is to work on the idea of resort as going away, but also as for the city,” he noted. Thus, looks were sporty, some with military touches, done in a muted palette with pops of brights. Maier also is launching his first resort collection for men, which opens for sales next week.

Leaving on a Jet Plane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again. No worries, I will return on June 1st, but I have compiled posts for you guys to enjoy while I am away. Hello everyone! Today, I am headed to Ambergris Caye, Belize. Wooohoooo! The island Ambergris Caye, pronounced “am-BER-gris”, is the largest island of Belize located northeast of the country in the Caribbean Sea. Though administered as part of the Belize District, the closest point on the mainland is part of the Corozal District. A Maya community lived on the island in Pre-Columbian times, and made distinctive polished red ceramics, most notably small well molded figurines of animals. The Caye (pronounced as “key”,…

Blame it on the Rain
I grew up a tomboy which meant constantly “borrowing” my brother’s clothes without his permission. I think that might be the reason why he hated me in high school, I sorta kept getting ketchup stains on his prestine white printed shirts. To this day I still love menswear. Occasionally, I raid my hubby’s closet, but unlike my brother he doesn’t mind – I also moonlights as his stylist 🙂 When I’m out shopping for his clothes, I tend to always get inspired (which you will see in future post). On this rainy & cloudy day in NYC, I decided to wear my tribal dress, paired with my husband’s shirt, my old 1st generation Burberry boots (which…
