After a discussion with my friend Ms S about creating a signature style, it occurred to me that I had read a lovely little tome several years ago about the difference between “old” money and “new” money. The author explained in detail how the old money set dress, it seems that the common [...]

Remember that scene in Pee Wee’s Big Adventure after he lost his red bicycle and suddenly everyone was riding a red bicycle? Well, suddenly I feel the same way about my hair. It seems to be getting shorter and shorter while everyone with an 85___ zip code seems to have locks galore. [...]

It is official- I have reached that dreaded and often talked about stage of life where I cannot get through a day without referencing old,movies, music, magazines, TV or better yet starting a conversation off with “I remember when…” I knew it was coming…it was out there like some sort of swamp thing [...]

I heart London! Perhaps it was all the swanky 60’s movies of my childhood, pop and rock Gods on the Ed Sullivan show or the burgeoning of the punk era in the late 70’s but whatever the case I have always had a thing for British pop culture and fashion… and these days the [...]

It is one of a hundred days of summer…sweltering, steamy and disturbingly the Bananarama tune “Cruel Summer” is playing in my head it’s as if I am stuck in my own 80’s MTV groundhog day… please make it stop! In fact, it’s not just me living the eighties these days, we have once again digressed [...]

I cannot stop thinking about thigh-high boots. They’re definitely a huge trend for fall 2009 and were seen all over the fall runways. Whether you want some in suede, leather, flat or with a great big stiletto, there’s a style to suit pretty much everyone.

One of my favorite spring/summer 2009 fashion trends of the season was the return of the nude-tone palette. Seen in dresses, skirts, tops and shoes all over the runway, the barely-there color has become a total smash.
