In my mind, that’s a staple for any holiday event. Today, my red and green clothes got shuffled to the front of my closet. They’re staying there until January! One of my little cousins has a love for dressing up. I wonder where that came from? 😉 She has a party to attend this weekend and has already tried on three …
And precede it with a high kick and a cartwheel! That’s Betsey Johnson. She was on Dancing with the Stars this season and showed that someone with decades of designing success can be humorous, lovable and willing to laugh off even a wardrobe malfunction in front of America. In anticipation of Thanksgiving, I’m wearing one of her harvest-colored creations. I …
This dress just kept catching my eye. I walked past it three times before I could no longer resist its charm. If you’ve been reading my blog this week, you’ve seen that DVF has many beautiful designs this season, and this is one of my favorites. The fitted waist with the flair skirt adds a flirty quality to a very …
You might be wondering why this Travel Thursday is focusing on a fashion designer. It’s because her iconic wares are sold throughout the world, and you can find them at https://www.dvf.com/stores It’s also because the journey to her first success, at about the age of 27, took her through several countries. Diane was born to wealthy parents in Brussels, educated …
Before attending a Nordstrom DVF show, I snapped this pic with the display and enjoyed some appetizers. Something I’ve learned about most fashion events is that they’re never complete without scrumptious food. There was still a little time before the first model would work the runway, so I perused the fashions. We always hear about mingling with guests at a …
Last March, I snuck into this No Entrar zone in Cabo and filmed a little Instagram vid. I was wearing a fringed top, and predicted that fringe fashion was about to explode. Look who called it right?! Not like I’m gloating or anything;) https://instagram.com/p/mCHI7KifGu/ Autumn styles have been fringe-tinged…in all pieces and price points. Here’s the 1-2-3 of this look…items …
That has been my color palette lately, because I’m hooked on Halloween. Hope all you darlings out there have kicked off this holiday right! I don’t know about you, but when I’m dressing up as someone else, my coquettish energy seems to quadruple. If any shenanigans go down tonight, all I have to say is… “It was my Halloween alter-ego!” …
“I just want to make beautiful clothes.” That’s what Oscar de la Renta once said. When he passed last Monday, this legendary fashion designer had consistently and famously reached his goal for more than four decades. Some people possess the combination of talent, drive and personality that cannot be overlooked. That was Mr. de la Renta. He was born into …
While scanning through my phone, I ran across this footage that I shot at The Bellevue Collection’s Fashion Week. So I pieced it together to bring you a slice of what the style setters are flaunting this fall. Banana Republic was all about black, white and gray. And friends, hashtags aren’t just for social media. They’ve inspired tonal block plaids …
Yesterday, for Travel Thursday, I featured my friend Min and her favorite shopping spots in Seoul. Today is all about her style sense. She’s like a walking Korean art exhibit with an infusion of fun patterns, colors and textures inspired by her heritage. For this shoot, we chose a garden with a Korean vibe. As Min explains, South Korea looks …
I have a dear friend, Min, from South Korea. She’s adorable, resembling a porcelain doll. Her sense of style is a work of art. She’s vivacious, and has an inspiring story. I’ll share that with you tomorrow as well as her personal Korean-influenced fashion. But today, for Travel Thursday, I want to focus on some of her favorite style landmarks …
This fall, fashion houses are receiving inspiration from Scotland. Last weekend, I attended the Nordstrom Fall Trend Show where guests were greeted with an array of tartan looks. Nordstrom is just too clever. My local store places Milly’s most mesmerizing pieces on the path to Habitant, the new gathering spot for drinks and small plates. When a girl is in …
As a girl who has blogging theme days…one being Meeting Men Monday and another Fashion Friday….it’s no surprise that I fell in love with The Kooples. The three French brothers behind this label add a whole lot of cool to their lust-worthy designs, which are flattering with a vintage feel borrowed from fashion and music icons. Early on, Alexandre, Laurent, …
I wish I could say that I was there… I can’t, but I did have a front row seat at my computer while perusing pics posted from those events:) Since the weather is still warm where I am, I’m more than happy to spot spring fashions. So here are some 2015 trends I’ve tracked. White Out. Fashionistas will be sporting …
Whenever I attend an event with dancing on the invitation, one of my Derhy dresses is always is serious consideration as an escort. When I think of this French line, femininity and boldness come to mind. Derhy melds flirty styles with strong colors for a look that stands out in any room. Intricate detailing is another Derhy trademark. I bought …
