Next up in my Spring 2013 Fashion Trends {refresher} series is the Major White Minimalist Moment designers from across the board sent {at least one look} down the runways last Fall. From 60’s modern to abstract shapes, soft and silky textures and a few classic silhouettes shown in somewhat new and fresh ways, maybe -just …
While fashion’s all a buzz with Pre-Fall 2013 collections, I’ve been so preoccupied with moving and decor and home furnishings as of late {and dressing for my new freezing & fun snowy environment} that I have barely been paying attention to anything fashion-related at all {well, other than a bit of shopping here and there …
Fashion Industry Confessions may just be THE JUICIEST Tumblr blog ever created. And thanks to Katie MacDougall, who Tweeted me the link last night, I am now obsessed with it. Now, please know that I am not interested calling “people” out simply to embarrass them, but the fashion “industry” is an entirely different ballgame. This …
Yet another DIY idea I’ve had lingering on my desktop since September; these gorgeous bracelets from the Prada Spring 2013 Ready-to-Wear collection. I recently saw the necklace featured in Bazaar’s December issue, which I love as well, but maybe something smaller would be a bit easier to re-create. The circles are the easy part… but …
I’ve had these Zimmermann lookbook photos saved on my desktop since I posted the Zimmermann Summer swimwear collection… I’m not sure why I forget about folders and thumbnails that I see on a daily basis, but somehow, they just slip my mind. However, sometimes, on a less than creative day, flipping through them inspires something …
Fashion trends are fun. They’re new and different and when we’re wearing them, somehow make us feel like we’re part of the elite fashion crowd, even if only to ourselves. But the key to building a long-lasting and polished wardrobe that will stand the test of time, guarantee you look stylish for decades, and keep …
Season after season, the Burberry collections always catch my eye; as Burberry has long been among my favorite designers, it’s a show I rarely miss {thanks to the internet}. The Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 2013 collection that walked the runway in London on Monday 17 September 2012 was no exception and is just phenomenal.It’s like a …
I have nearly 5 years of outfit posts now and though I never repeat an outfit {okay once or twice}, I do mix and rewear the same pieces over and over again creating new looks. Because of this practice, I collect my wardrobe in pieces I think will stand the test of time or are …
Somewhere in the early 2000’s Coach went all logo-ey on me and I’m sad to say that I jumped ship. There was a certain type of woman who was buying into that look, and it wasn’t my style. Since then I haven’t given Coach much thought let alone, the benefit of the doubt. I’m not …
A few days ago my monthly Bona Drag email subscription arrived in my inbox and I was immediately captured by their gorgeously bohemian wedding gowns and jewelry. I clicked through, as I usually do but instead of taking me directly to their online retail site {which is amazing, if you’ve never checked it out, you …
Last August {2011}, Free People went to Venice and fell in love… so to speak. The photos and dreamy little video below are from their August catalog journey — shot by Guy Aroch, edited by Swell, featuring models Marloes Horst and Darla Baker, and set to the tune of Tony Castles. It just makes me …
via Karla’s Closet Like seed bead jewelry and friendship bracelets, I wore an anklet for much of the late 80’s and through the mid 90’s. Sometimes made from either handmade seed beads or friendship bracelets but also sometimes from leather or shells or even ethnic bells, and occasionally, a simple and delicate gold or silver …
I recently watched the documentary film, Ultrasuede: In Search of Halston, directed by Whitney Sudler-Smith, and was mesmerized and captivated by every single minute of it. I mean, wow, the documentary was done extremely well but also, Halston was larger than life with his entourage of models accompanying him everywhere he went… not to mention …
I’m a bit of a magazine hoarder. I cannot toss one out for years and even then, I have to flip through it, tear out any possible inspiration and then I’ll recycle what is left, usually only ads and the spine. But years and years later and even then, I don’t always determine that it’s …
Made up of black and brown tones, leopard print works splendidly as a neutral and often looks great against almost any color, but paired with green is one of my all-time favorite combos. From bright Kelly green to deep forest green and every green in between, leopard print is chic and sophisticated when next to …
