I think there’s a great divide in fashion right now between the desire of the old school, which valued being hidden and shy, and what is going to bring our industry forward, which is connection, personality and craft.

What’s Going On


Happy Fall! Back to school, nose to the grindstone…you know the drill. Or, do you? Ever need a little help throwing an outfit together, need a second opinion, or more? The newly launched site, Fashism, can help. Get feedback on your look, rate others, and this week maybe even win a gift certificate to Smashing Darling, or two! Click here to learn more about the contest – ending October 11th. Don’t miss the bonus round!

What’s New

We kicked off Fall with a little video and fashion fun (?) in Iceland for their fashion, let’s say, frenzy. Check it out here; more Darling videos coming soon.
In New England there is a chill to the air, and nightfall comes a little sooner than we are ready for. Shop the site for some new hats, scarves, and coats to keep you warm.
In fact Rachel Park has marked down her entire scarf collection, all on sale from $5-$20!
If you are reading this from a warmer climate – not to fear. Tank tops, cool dresses, and beachy accoutrements are available on Smashing Darling all year long – love it!
Coming Soon

Philadelphia Fashion Week makes it’s debut this weekend! If you are nearby go have some fun, learn more here. Sharing the same weekend but a different coastline, Portland Fashion Week kicked off yesterday with a focus on eco-friendly and independent designers. Sigh, if only we could be everywhere! Fill us in of you are there…
