“I started designing nighties in part because I couldn’t find anything that met all my needs,” explains designer Treea Cracknell. “I wanted a nightie that felt luxurious, was flattering and made me feel sexy and beautiful but didn’t leave me feeling overexposed.” Thus, Sleep With Modesty was born.
“The name Sleep with Modesty is kind of a pun, as it as it refers in part to me. My bohemian parents named me Modesty Tree. I’ve never used my first name, and added an ‘a’ onto the end of Tree …

When I think rubber, I think two things: ugly but functional home & garden supplies, and fetishists. “Stylish” never comes to mind. Jules Sherman is changing that. “Ever since I designed a cosmetic bag for Bath & Body Works with a little rubber brand tag, I wanted to use that material for other products. There is something beautifully tactile about the material,” Jules explains.
With a background in industrial design, it seems natural that Jules would design in relief. Her line includes pouches, luggage tags, belts, and hair …

I stumbled upon this fantastic vintage store a few weeks ago. I was in the area looking for a yarn shop, and found Playclothes instead. The place was jam packed with copious amounts of vintage clothing, shoes, hats, jewelry, coats, knick-knacks, and other various pieces of yore.
After well over an hour in the store, I finally came away with this gorgeous hat (along with a couple other pieces which you will see later). Black felt and velvet, with a long, swooping feather adornment, this hat is probably …

As we have covered here before, Jennifer Allison is making the digital age more fashionable. But she is also making the fashionable age more digital with this lion’s mane-like necklace (proudly modeled by Spork Dog Keegan). But although this necklace looks like fiber cables dangling from the neck, glowing ends exposed, it actually has much much older roots. Jennifer explains:
“This necklace specifically started with my current interest in Israeli designer, Michal Golan. I love her use of gemstones and crystals and wanted to emulate her design sense …
-Fragrance, -Kate Spade »
When I first sniffed Kate Spade’s signature fragrance, I thought it was too heady, too over powering. I was proud of myself – finally a Kate Spade product I wouldn’t be lusting over.
Many months later, after that initial sniff, I was given a bottle of it for my birthday. I must have aged a lot in those few months, for when i gave the perfume one final sniff, I realised it was a splendid fragrance.

Everyone can use a little rock n’ roll in their wardrobe. Can’t commit to the tattoos and mohawk? Do your thighs chafe at the through of tight leather pants? Then give Rock Bands a shot. “The name came when people asked what it was,” creator Lee Dahlberg says. “It’s a ‘Rock’ on a ‘Band’ ….it’s a ROCK BAND!” Ok, we know how you got the name. But what about where you got the idea for the actual cuff? “The inspiration came from …

We will do this quick so we can get back to the good stuff:
Ryan Seacrest – His awful patent leather tie distracted me from his awful hosting duties.
Jamie Pressley – The longer I looked, the more her black glittery 70s number annoyed me.
Terry O’Quinn – His hot pink shirt and black sequined tie made a fabulous, bold statement. I am now threatening that look on my husband.
Becki Newton – My Ugly Betty style icon does not disappoint in this daring mermaid dress.
Elizabeth Perkins – Little House on the Prairie …

Unless you got lost in your walk-in closet for the last few months, you know that Ugly Betty is the most fashionable show on television. I will be kind to those of you who have been having fun in your own closets. This campy prime-time soap stars America Ferrera as Betty, the homely but highly capable assistant at uber-chic fashion magazine Mode. She is given the job to keep the playboy editor-in-chief from sleeping with his assistant (a problem in the past). She is great at …
