Fashion I.Q.: March 2013
Rhonda Kapusta showed how to wear the season's hot emerald green at the Debutante Ball. Nice how she doubled up with a necklace of the same shade.
Been to the new Reasons location downtown yet? It's no longer your father's shoe store. Check out this dangerously stylish Donald J. Pliner wingtip oxford for men, pretty cool with the hit of hot poppy on aged leather. Reasons, $320.
This bold and bright pebbled leather tote will be your go-to bag throughout the summer. Perfect either poolside or as your easy carryall, just right for our resort lifestyle. Particularly love the interior zip bag for all your little things. J. McLaughlin, $345.
I'm obsessed with the new-this-month line of Matte Lip Color by Kevyn Aucoin. Not only are the colors fresh for spring, they are richly pigmented and luxuriously smooth with long-wearing payoff. Molinari Models and Talent, $32.
This Samantha Wills limited-edition jewelry chest is handcrafted of wood with antiqued brass and mirror. With 16 compartments, it's a purely decadent way to house your favorite pieces. Bohemian Bliss, $500.
