Fabulosity: Costello Tagliapietra on Barneys.com
The Spring/Summer collection of Costello Tagliapietra was a stunning line and certainly one of the best during New York Fashion Week. Few understand the modern, ultra-feminine woman like the boys of Costello Tagliapietra. Shades of nude, stone, slate and psychedelic-camo were shown. The colors and print took second-row to the divine cut and draping of the garments; perfectly placed pleats, gathered details and modern methods to sleeves and pockets. The collection explores and redefines the rules of 'classic' and offers pieces with longevity in trend.
A few articles from the collection can now be purchased online at Barneys.com. For those on the go...

Making brief appearances on rare occasions at particularly chic events, I would see her and mentally applaud her style. With her striking appearance of slicked-back blonde hair, red lips and perfectly-pale skin, her attendance in a room demands observation.
Closet Case: Style Interview with Alexandra Evjen
Alexandra Evjen recently came on my radar; she’s a local stylist. I fell head-over-heels with her look. She’s eclectic, mixes bold colors and prints and describes her style as “New England prep mixed with 1960’s Palm Springs glam”, how could you not love that?. She wields a Balenciaga bag, an item that she covets most in her closet and believes that you should never be without diamonds, a black blazer and a slim fitted oxford shirt. She’s certainly someone to take style notes from. And so I sit down with Alexandra to pick her brain about style...
