  • Rad or Bad: Are Purple Lips a Keeper or a Kool-Aid Disaster?

    November 3, 2009

    We were thrilled to see the omnipresence of purple pouts during Fashion Week. From a subdued lilac at Vena Cava to an electric violet at House of Holland, there were puckers of all the shades of the purple spectrum. We're...

  • Rad or Bad: Should We Send Overalls Back to the Farm?

    October 29, 2009

    Appearing alongside the heap of other pastoral staples, overalls were having a little moment on the spring runways—not, as expected, without a lot of hemming and hawing on our part about their merits. Of course, instead of Converses and cap-sleeved...

  • Hot New Hair Trend: Ombre Color, Rad Or Bad?

    October 27, 2009

    The hot new hairstyle, is ombre color rad or bad?

  • Rad or Bad: Are Ponchos Something to Hide From or Under?

    October 20, 2009

    Two Christmases ago, a well-meaning relative gifted one of us with a warm, hand-knit, alpaca poncho. Though it was a nice gesture, ponchos have always seemed better suited for a jaunt in the Andes than brunch at the Bowery, and...

  • Rad or Bad? The Return of the Kitten Heel Is Upon Us

    October 15, 2009

    We don't mean to start sounding like a broken record, but we've found another questionable shoe trend that's been showing up in more places than one. Designers including Marni, Louis Vuitton, and Missoni sent the kitten heel down the...

  • Rad or Bad: Can Clogs Rise Above the Croc?

    October 7, 2009

    When Karl says "Jump", we say "With what accessories?", but when we saw the models trot down the farmland extravaganza during yesterday's Chanel show in these clogs, we were more than a little torn. Although they hold a certain bucolic...

  • Rad or Bad: Mean Girls, Gone Wild! Are Over-the-Shirt Pasties Over the Top?

    October 6, 2009

    From the sparkles and bandeaus at Ungaro this season to the Playboy-esque bunny ears in fall '09's Louis Vuitton collection, the Mean Girls references keep popping up, and we can't help but feel like there's some designer movie-club that we...

  • Rad or Bad: Are Matchy Matchy Ensembles Ticky Tacky?

    October 1, 2009

    We're pretty good at ignoring most fashion rules, but matching your tops to your bottoms puts us a little out of our comfort zone. It's hard to pull off the head-to-toe mono-pattern without looking like you just stumbled out of...

  • Rad or Bad: Are Platform Flats the Latest Trend-Fail From the '90s?

    September 28, 2009

    When it comes to footwear, we're not about to sacrifice a toe or two to trendiness. Comfort, walk-ability, and a blister-free promise rank a little higher than how many times our shoes have been style-paparazzi-ed. However, there is a line...

  • Rad or Bad: Are Big Dots Extra Chic Or Just For the Big Top?

    September 25, 2009

    Polka dots and yours truly have always been on friendly terms: The quirky pattern has seen us through our London Mod phase as well as the subtler swiss-dot obsession we'll never quite get over. However, recent sightings of some super-sized...
