The Peter Pan Collar

The funny thing about Peter Pan collars – those adorable, rounded necklines that make any outfit extra-sweet – is that Peter Pan didn’t actually wear one. Rather, the boy who refused to grow up is often depicted in a green, v-neck tunic, or ...

The Clash

Bigger is better for certain things – jumbo shrimp, Venti lattes, and this season’s too-big-for-you knits come to mind. Oversized shapes have been working their way back into fashion from the depths of our 1980s nightmares in a fresh and sophisticated ...

The Coat Post

Well-Vested

On a cool(ish) fall night in Miami, you can do without the wool jackets and heavy overcoats the rest of the nation dutifully dons, but you may still want a little something to keep the chill off those suntanned shoulders, so used to the warm weather that ...

Put Some Skin in It

The Knitty-Gritty

Fall is in the air, sure, but it’s that wishy-washy, unpredictable Miami sort of Fall that’s constantly got us in a pickle about what to wear. We can wear jeans without melting, and even a light jacket over our dresses after the sun goes down, but the ...
