Next to Patricia Field, Eric Daman is the most influential costume designer. The man behind the clothing of Serena and Lily van der Woodsen, Blair Waldorf, and Georgina Sparks really made a mark with his work on Gossip Girl. What I most appreciate about his work is that each characters' closets were distinctly unique. The majority [...]

Shopping Moratorium 2018 | 216/149
I lost my shit this month, shopping-wise. I definitely not as perfectly disciplined as I was during June. Shame, shame, shame. Here goes: I happen to love a jewelry brand that was selected for the CFDA incubator back in the late aughts. Gemma Redux was frequently featured on Gossip Girl, which is how I and [...]

Sidebar: on the [...]
Muse Monday: Samantha Jones
Samantha Jones lowkey had the boldest wardrobe of the four principle Sex and the City characters. While her style played second fiddle to Carrie's, I think what she wore was more accessible to the everyday gal, especially in the early seasons. (Please note that I did not include her label-emblazoned outfits of the aughts.) I [...]
Muse Monday: Elaine Robinson
I wish there were more stills available of Elaine Robinson, the daughter of the antagonist in The Graduate. The way university students dressed during the mid-century was fantastic, and the character of Elaine exemplified it. Not a pair of sweatpants or pajama pants to be seen! In their place: dresses with well-made overcoats. I would [...]
