When Solange Knowles tells you to “Stop Twittering, put away your phones and dance,” you do. Ms. Knowles, who actually uses far choicer, more imperative words, is spinning Michael Jackson for a crowd that, by and large, is surrounding her older sister with an amphitheatre of phone cameras for Twitpic-ing purposes. The older sister in […]

While we’re starting to be over the now ubiquitous studded motorcycle jacket, we have to admit, it does look fresh in spring’s cropped shape, thrown over a low-slung pair of velvet trousers.

We’re suckers for texture and this Lovely has it in spades. A crinkly skirt topped with a furry bolero over a slick leather vest, all in a subtle palette of blacks and grey shot through with a chunky multi-coloured necklace.

We’re not sure how this Lovely’s jeans manage to be both slim and slouchy, but we love it. Add a Minnie Mouse tee, a slightly askew cap and vintage camera and you’ve got a cool look with a touch of quirk.

Goodbye Carrie and Samantha, hello Blair and Serena! The pop culture fashionettes who are putting New York City on the shopping map these days are a whole new generation of style. So if you’re planning to head to the Grande Pomme for a shopping trip, do it like a Gossip Girl would. First things first, set up base camp at The New York Palace (455 Madison Ave., newyorkpalace.com). The posh midtown spot is practically a character in the show (Chuck Bass has a suite there, Serena lived there, Serena and Blair eat there) and many of the show’s scenes are shot in its various rooms.
