The designer has been creating modern clothes for modern women under her eponymous labels for 25 years and during Lackie’s 10-minute audience with Karan, she dished on a few of the issues facing [...]
I am an incredibly lucky girl. I will be leaving in a mere two days, on my way to NYC, the IFB conference and New York Fashion week. I am so excited! Excited to get on a plane and out of dodge, excited to meet up with my peers (and hopefully make some …

In case you missed it, Sunday’s Emmy Awards were a flurry of sparkle and shimmer. Earrings were huge (both literally and figuratively) and navy blue reigned supreme. Navy is a great color that can be worn with everything and by everyone. Personally, I …
When I heard grey was one of the “it” colors this fall I was so thrilled! I love grey worn as an alternative to more popular neutrals like cream or brown. I was doubly happy because a few months ago, I picked up a super cute pair of grey skinny jeans a…
Romeo & Juliet Couture Rolled Sleeve Blouse, Bluefly.com, $61 (orig. $113)I am a huge fan of Bluefly.com. Any place that sells designer pieces at reduced prices kind of gives me shivers. Today’s “Lust or Must” has me drooling. This top goes beyond …
I had heard all the talk and every time I passed a newsstand, I tried to shield my eyes from getting an advance sneak peek at the latest edition of Harper’s Bazaar. Jennifer Aniston as Barbra Streisand? I was so excited and raced down to my mailbox eve…

Or should I say “reformed” Shopaholic? Either way, I may be about to commit haute couture hari kari here. I just don’t think I can take it anymore. If I see one more chunky sweater or suede boot, I just may burst into tears. My confession is this: I th…
Have you been to any great parties lately? I have been keeping it pretty low-key as of late, but I did recently receive an invitation to this year’s San Francisco Opera Bravo! Club’s black tie opening night gala. The performance is Aida and it takes pl…
J Crew Rhapsody Hobo in Nutmeg $325Okay, I am essentially obessed with this bag. I was walking home from my local coffee shop the other day when I saw not one, but two girls both wearing white tops, jeans and carrying bags this color. Could it be the m…

Betty and Joan – two t.v. characters who have become fashion icons faster than most. Joan’s necklace pen? Functional, fashionable, brilliant!For reasons unclear, I have begun, in earnest, watching AMC’s much lauded “Mad Men”. In the beginning the showi…
We rarely touch on the subject of home decor here at 365FR, but it really is something that P and I both love. During out “year without” (along with no clothes/accessories/makeup), we were also not allowed to shop for what we called “frivolous home dec…
A faithful reader and blogger, Plummy (from Style on the Cheap), recently wrote in inquiring about cleaning out her closet. She said: “After we’ve tossed the obvious rejects from our closet, how do we differentiate from the maybes?” What a great questi…
Betsey Johnson Bowtime Backseam Knee Sock, $15I am so into socks right now! Especially with open toed shoes. I wore a sheer black pair of knee highs to San Francisco Fashion Week last Friday but had wished that they were beige so they would stand out a…
