I think if you’re going to have a suit you might as well make it a sexy shiny one. I truly wishyou could see the shine in this 2 piece pantsuit by Laundryby Shelli Segal because when I say it’s shines it truly sparkleselegantly in the light. This little black suit is made with rayon andspandex with just the right amount of silver sparkle. Underneath I putthis silk pink Bebecamisole to really give it a zinger… I could whip my client into thisensemble so fast and furiously that her head would come

I totally get it, I understandthat people are having a hard & stressful time right now, it seemslike that’s the topic of everyone’s conversation these days andrightfully so. What I try to do daily with my blog is teach and showpeople how to save a dime or buck when it comes to buying clothes. Forme I believe it all comes down to making a choice, do we want to marchi

Ok it’s time. It’s time to really leave those sneakers and sweatpants behind you and show the world just how STYLISH you really are. A really good friend of mine, who works in the finance world, keeps telling me that at work the coworkers are really dressing down and frumpy. If there is one thing that really sends me over the edge it’s this… since when does the American professional business man / woman decide that dressing frumpy is deemed suitable???? The women that work at this company wear t

This simple chic casual ensemble is classic from top to bottom and did I tell you that the topwas brand new? Yes brand new and straight out of the thrift store and Ilove when that happens to me. Sometimes left over inventory thatdidn’t sell in high end department stores gets shipped back to thevender but most times liquidation companies comes in and buy everythingup therefore you’ll see tags from TJMaxx, Marshalls or Ross on theclothing in thrift stores. In this case this Cynthia Steffe black to

I just finished looking at the new Fendi collection designed by Karl Lagerfeld and he was showing lots oflong skirts and long dresses which makes blogging about this longturquoise skirt by Les Copains so in vogue.

Les Copainsis one of the most well knows and reliable names in ready to wearfashion in Italy and throughout the world. The brand name was createdin the late 50

When I first spotted this silk top by BCBG I not only LOVED the abstract pattern but LOVED thesexiness of the cut. I think the draping off the shoulder is very sexyand modern. There really is a good reason why Bloomingdales and Sakscarries this brand and I believe it’s because BCBGprovides their customer with a little sexy fantasy and who doesn’t wantthat???? Once I scored this sexy silk top I knew I needed a reallyglam bottom and it didn’t take me long to find these black slacks byTrina Turk. I

I come across Kors quite regularly out shopping but Carmen Marc Valvo not so often. I grabbed this Michael Kors sweater because of I lovethe casual feel of this and also because I really like that the sweaterwas short sleeved with the wide collar and big 3 buttons. Short sleevesweater to me are so much better, they’re not so cumbersome when youthrow over a jacket. I grabbed these black linen Carmen Marc Valvoslacks because you don’t find this label just any old day whilethrifting. Valvo’s profes

When I first plucked this harlequin pattern blouse from the rack and the label said ‘Angel Ninamade in France’ I said to self ‘nice find’. With this sheer blouse youcould wear a sexy bra underneath or not?? No judging here honey .Because I’m such a tag hag you know the reason I got this blouse notonly because I thought the pattern was beautiful but because it said‘made in France.’ Next time you are thrifting and run across labelsthat say ‘made in Italy’ or ‘made in France’ pull it out and look a

It isn’t every day I stumble upon Robert Rodriguez but when I do I attack him ferociously. Ijust couldn’t get over the fact that this jacket appears to be new andin pristine condition let alone the label. Several things influencedthe life of Robert Rodriguezbut it was a Christian Dior book his mother gave him that altered hisfuture. In 2003 his brand was launched and the collection wassophisticated, feminine, sexy and contemporary for STYLE consciencewomen of all ages. This can also be said abou
