As part of the greening process of my life..I have recently changed my diet for health reasons I decided to take a hard look at all of the products in my life. Everything is under scrutiny and review. Toothpaste, shampoo, moisturizer, facial cleanser, mascara, and the whole lot.Without getting too technical here I used www.CosmeticDatabase.com […]
I never thought I would tout Victoria’s Secret…especially since they haven’t paid me a dime but I’m going to. (BTW-all of my posts are strictly editorial)As a small chested woman I have always been personally challenged when it came to finding a brassiere that fit me well and that I could stand more for than […]
What I feel is so wrong with the fashion world is this ever churning need to discover/uncover/reinvent trends that are then force fed the general public. 80’s neon colors, mini skirts, peasants skirts, baby doll dresses, ect ect ect! Women each have different shapes and coloring-so what may be one woman’s answer to her […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
One of the best dresses I ever bought I almost returned. It’s by Splendid from Shopbop and I thought it might be a little ho-hum. But boy has this dress pulled it’s weight in cost per wear! Navy being a universal color that flatters most everyone helps. The cut is very roomy without adding weight […]
ONE DRESS ENDLESS LOOKS Another amazing cotton dress by Velvet. I buy at least one a season from Anthropologie. I’m kinda on this cotton dress kick because they are so easy to care for are super versatile and have simplified my wardrobe. There’s an ease to dresses that I love-no hunting for the perfect bottom […]
So New York is an expensive city right? It’s also home to the $8 manicure and sample sales galore. In September I decided to do a little budget planning for myself. I took a good look at my finances and decided what needed to get the ax and what changes to implement: quit the gym-using […]
She helped me create not just outfits but a style statement for how I go out in the world in the morning. She’s given me a new sense of confidence, especially when I go to professional meetings
