“I cannot wear enough velvet during winter months. It is essentially sexy fleece because its warm, waterproof, and usually does not require dry cleaning. This skirt can be dressy or casual grunge and accommodate your warmest base layers and boots.” - Ms. Ting
“Almost as bored with puffers overall as I am with delicate necklaces. But this jellybean purple number with a matching skirt is interesting and skirts the overly sporty vibe puffers often force.” - Ms. Ting
“LOLOLOL. Saw this at NYC's sexiest coffee spot La Cabra in Soho and laughed out loud for a solid 30 seconds. Spread this joyous message all over your town.” - Ms. Ting
“These are great black leather and shearling lined ankle boots, reveal a truly eye-catching and bold biker-style silhouette. 100% made in Italy, they are set on a rubber tread sole and feature a rounded toe and a diagonal silver-tone metal side zip. Wear these instead of sneakers or your Docs.” - Ms. Ting
Why did you buy? “It's cold and wet and my combat boot laces need a break. These warmer, lace-free boots offer greater warmth and ease without compromising edge or style.” - Ms. Ting
“This black chunky choker over your tightest turtleneck or totally bare skin adds intrigue and polish in a way subtle strands could never.”
Why did you buy? “I am completely inspired by 3D printing and the future of jewelry. Completely bored with delicate, wimpy chains.” - Ms. Ting
