It always feels like a mix of Michael Kors and Ralph Lauren to me, with a little TJ Maxx thrown in for good measure. Then again, Carolina Herrera looked like Ralph Lauren and Vera Wang had birthed some hideous equestrian lovechild, so perhaps originality has gone the way of Hedi Slimane...Let's not even talk about that Oscar de la Renta parade of fug (ok, there were one or two nice dresses). That being said, I did enjoy this clutch from Ports: http://www.vivre.com/control/product/~category_id=25/~product_id=39379 I haven't even looked at BM yet, but I can tell you what it was: gorgeous spaghetti-strapped gowns drenched in beading in shades of champagne and gold, maybe with some 1940's suiting thrown in--it is hiver, after all. Still, always beautiful. I really don’t understand why Ports 1961 exists. It always feels like a mix of Michael Kors and Ralph Lauren to me, with a little TJ Maxx thrown in for good measure.
