With a 14-hour flight coming up, I'm asking myself what any normal person in my position would - what am I going to WEAR?! Of course I want to look cute but be comfortable at the same time. So what will I need? A hat and sunglasses for sure - so I can sleep on the plane without having to worry about looking...

In honor of my upcoming travels to South Asia and the Middle East, I'm going to start a series of posts on hot designs and designers from those regions. The first is Indian designer Manish Arora, whose clothes have been popping up on the likes of pop divas Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj. As you can see from the pics, these aren't your...

I think it's a great idea: instead of your usual run-of-the-mill photos of celebrities or models wearing what they've had tons of stylists dress them in, you get a...
I'm looking for a new pair of summer sandals... (and flip-flops are not sandals!) Even though gladiators have been around for ages, has anything else so fierce come out to replace their utter domination? I think not. Gladiators are like the Lakers - you either love em or hate em.
