Well we are just 48 hours away from All Hallows Eve and as I have mentioned previously, aside from providing a bit of face paint for clients and friends rarely do I ever dress up. Maybe it has something to do with my own personal costume horrors in the formative years. Most [...]

Can I just confess that I have been trying since early September to wear my over the knee boots? I am so delighted that we have finally reached a place with our thermometer that allows us to wear our fall frocks everyday…. Of course with all the new hoopla at the mall [...]

Recently I have been revisiting one of my personal favorite looks – patterned tights. Of course in the 80’s we just couldn’t get enough, then came the 90’s when it was all about fishnets (the more holes- the better to grunge with).
