Lia Cinquegrano launched her distinctively printed line of handbags,Thomas IV, to rave reviews back in Spring of 2011. The line’s eye-catching textural mash-up and functional styles were a much needed respite from the sea of tough girl accessories dripping in studs on the market then. Cool girl boutiques Barney’s Co-op, Jumelle, Bird and Steven Alan all placed orders and Cinquegrano’s bags were flying off the shelves.

Last winter was all about fisherman cable knit sweaters. This up-coming season the modest sweatshirt will have its turn in the spotlight as the new throw-on-with-everything top. Although the grey sweatshirt may not be a completely foreign idea in our closets, it has been the perfect piece to temper an otherwise dressy ensemble for some time now; the sporty silhouette is being re-imagined in a slew of experimental prints, colors and textures by designers like Balenciaga and Alexander Wang.

Wang went one step further calling attention to the ankles with the futuristic Fabiana complete with a superhero cape at the back of the strap.
Blog, August 2012 There are those girls whose nimble hands can tie up a turban or headscarf with such ease and precision, then there are the rest of us (like me) who struggle with folding the fabric just right, and spend most of the day fidgeting with it ‘till we get frustrated and pull it off our heads.
