Did you catch my play on words?! Seriously, for men, ties and bowties can be expensive but this new website is terrific. The Knottery {mentioned in GQ} has modern ties, not too skinny or fat, starting as low as $30. I can’t speak to the quality or their staying power but the fabric selection is spot-on and they’ve even got pocket squares. A new tie not enough for you?

Lately, I’ve been pausing on any page or sighting of leather – and no, I’m not succumbing to my inner vixen. The leather I’ve been craving has been in the form of leggings (nothing new) and peplum tops. They are so dang expensive though….DVF has one for $600, 3.1 Philip Lim has a long sleeve version for $1,350, and the list goes on. They’re still not cheap but I found two worthy of possible consideration by Timo Weiland and Elizabeth
Derek Lam has said he’d never do a collaboration unless it was “something new” which led to his experimental Derek Lam for eBay project last winter. Well, Derek Lam for Kohl’s DesigNation is on the horizon. It’s a line filled with swimwear and women’s apparel and priced between $36 and $98. Oh yeah, what’s “new” is that it will be inspired by his recent trip to Brazil. Is that really “something new”? Narciso Rodriguez for Kohl’s DesigNation will hit November
