Trophy Wife-chic or dead?
By | November 17th, 2009
Did anyone see the spread in Harper’s Bazaar this month (December 2009) called Diary of a Trophy Wife dictated to Rita Wilson, not read? It pokes fun at the life of a trophy wife. “The first time I had Botox, I had a headache for three days and I couldn’t make it to the Cavalli […]

One look does not fit all
By | November 17th, 2009
The wonderful thing about clothing and accessories is that they are voluntary contributions. Unlike hair coloring, style isn’t permanent and always evolving. A few years ago I was Loft living Williamsburg (Brooklyn not Virginia) and trying to fit in style wise. Everyone was way too cool for school that hanging with my cool sexually ambiguous […]

Can you recognize this actor? Bet you can’t put your finger on it. It’s Jude Law as Minx in the movie RAGE set in the fashion industry.

Black is the new Black??? WTF
By | November 6th, 2009
So I did black in a Donna Karan secretary sort of a way as a 12 year old but when I discovered that black did nothing for my coloring I banished it from my wardrobe. So when I hear people making such a fuss over black I laugh to myself because it is a myth […]

WIP Halloween
By | November 2nd, 2009
The Halloween joie de vivre has returned. Last two years I suffered from costume malaise due to lack of inspiration and fallback of the flapper costume. Hard to be excited about costumes every year because ‘STYLISTS LIVE COSTUMES ALL YEAR’-Scott Shuster I went as a Work in Progress (WIP) which is a big switch from […]

Lady Gaga Lifting Looks?
By | October 22nd, 2009
So I’m watching a very classic but slow moving French film called ‘Last year at Marienbad‘ and although I have the slight feeling of a bad deja vu from the film I’m loving the costumes. It’s a black and white film so her outfits are either BLACK or WHITE. But one in particular strikes me […]

Ruffles go round
By | October 18th, 2009
Ruffles are nothing new to the fashion scene. Men used to wear ruffled shirts at Versailles and I found a wonderful ruffle inspiration on Catherine Spaak in the 1969 movie The Libertine. To me it looks like a Ralph Lauren shirt. So I’m still loving ruffles and I love that all these wonderful companies are […]
