I met Detroit Snob founder Desiree Cooper at an entrepreneur seminar. What caught my attention was the t-shirt she was wearing - understated and black with the words, “detroit snob” across the front. It was minimalist and chic, yet attention grabbing. Detroit Style Review caught up with Desiree Cooper recently to...

Vintage Shopping at the Rust Belt Market
Thanks to my friend and fellow blogger Alvita Lozano, vintage shopping at the Rust Belt Market has become one of my new weekend hobbies and guilty pleasures.

It’s a Brad Brad World Premieres Tonight at 10pm...
Let’s be honest – Brad Goreski is television gold. Who didn’t love him on the Rachel Zoe Project, feel bummed to hear he’d left Zoe and then become totally geeked upon hearing he was getting his own reality show, It’s a Brad Brad World (I shamelessly raise my hand for all of the above)? Aside from his innate sense of style, Goreski’s sweet heart persona makes you want to spend time in his...

Zara replenishes its online merchandise fairly often, which is great. Here are a couple of my favorite looks from its October 2011 lookbook.
