Teacups & Couture A Fashion Blog by Roxanna Bina

I absolutely loved Kate Spade‘s collection for Spring! There was pink! There were bows! There was plaid! Pretty much everything I adore. Anywho, Kate Spade always falls off my radar because it’s sort of a mall store. Very mainstream, but in a NYC/Hamptons kinda way. This is really what I like …

First off, I thought Betsey Johnson closed everywhere, so there wouldn’t be anymore tutus and animal print for us out there anymore. I am pleased to see she’s continuing, because where else would we get overpriced girly punk prom dresses? Obviously, my fave look is the raccoon outfit. That is …

Here is the latest and greatest (is it?) from designer Si Chan’s Fall 2012  Hug Me series. Those hands look just like these substitute hands for preemies at the NICU. One of my sons was born a preemie recently and he loved that creepy muppet hand. Anywho, to wear it on a coat …

Marc Jacobs and Alexandre Herchcovitch must’ve had a sleep over watching that Tom Petty video on repeat while pigging out on Trader Joe’s Checkerboard Mouse Cake. I wanted to like this collection, but I feel like it was too repetitive and not interesting enough. I do love the splash of colors and the …

Looking like that Tom Petty video, Alexandre’s collection consisted of checkerboards and check patterns. There was enough checkerboard to keep about 100 2nd graders busy playing chess. Seriously, if you want to entertain small children, wear one of these outfits and lay flat while they play checkers. You’ll be a …

A sweet creature with a swishy tail and David Bowie eyes sashayed into my life when I was 19. I named this kitten Mr. Marmar (‘Marmar’ means marble in Farsi) and promised a life of luxury even if it means I’d have to wear clothes from Sal’s boutique to make …

I think Thom Browne is the most interesting and original designer of New York Fashion Week. Seriously, almost every NY designer showing their collection is so bland and conventional. Moving on, I loved the halo bottomed skirt. I got married in a halo bottomed skirt and it totally looked like …

Toile du Jouy is one of my favorite patterns ever! I know it can be all granny looking, but I think it’s so elegant. Plus, I love matching my outfit to the tea set, lounging chair and drapes in my surroundings. I guess it’s my way of camouflaging? Hmm. Anywho, …

Calling all foodies! Check out this cool site called  Lekue featuring a baguette container for all your baguette sandwiches, a citrus spritzer (What!) and a macaroon maker (double What!). That citrus spritzer is all kinds of awesome! It’s like a you can transform a whole lemon into a bottle of Sun-in! …
