There are 2 things in life you can’t have enough of : white button up shirts & lightweight sweater vest (of course anything from Bvlgari & Harry Winston too)….. I don’t care how many white shirts I have in my closet I’m always looking for another one and for you ladies out there here are 2 ultra STYLISH shirts.  The Marella button up white shirt is just simple chic but since it was born in 1976 as one of the brands Max Mara evolved it is exactly what I expect from Max Mara.  Marella is a fashio

I’ve just had my Catherine Malandrino cherry popped!  Yes you heard me correctly I finally found a Malandrino piece within a thrift store and what an exquisite piece it is indeed…. Catherine Malandrino is the ultimate Frenchwoman in America.  Her looks mesh the structure and fashion-forwardness of her homeland’s best designers with the fun-loving girl vibe of her beloved NYC.  Since starting her label Malandrino has woven together the energy of Manhattan with the romance and elegance of Paris….

Each one of these dresses is majestic in every aspect from the black Graham & Spencer to the reddish Michael Stars and finally the black thin cotton La Blanca these dresses target fashionistas worldwide.   Jenny Graham & Toni Spencer, designers and creators of VELVET, long known for its t-shirts & dresses, introduced a new luxury collection called Graham & Spencer in 2006.  Yes these girls STYLED for Red Hot Chilli Peppers videos too… This sleek black Graham & Spencer dress has the 1-2 punch fa

The Fashion Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is all over this posting as they should be for doing their proper job.  From head to toe this ensemble has the FBI on code PINK and lock down.  The blouse in the posting is by Elie Tahari, it has cotton with spandex so anything that has some stretch to it has my vote.  Covering this gorgeous button up Tahari blouse is this 100% silk navy Halston 3 button jacket.  I can’t say any more about Halston because each time I do I just gush all over the place….

Every woman needs a fabulous polka dot skirt and if you can get your hands on lets say a good old English luxury brand like Jaeger then please do so….  This posting has old world England meeting new world Italy and the results are smashing.  From top to bottom this posting is STYLISH, lets start with the black linen short sleeve jacket by Marella. Marella was set up in 1976 as 1 of the Max Mara Group; over the years it has developed into an authentic collection able to meet the needs of an inte

This velvet button up belted short sleeve top by Lafayette 148 isn’t just delicious it’s down right sinful.  This Lafayette 148 looks like an abstract painting ,which I love, so the wow factor is on high alert.  This is the thing I love and admire about Edward Wilkerson the creative force behind this label, is his ability to embrace the art world.  I found these ultra light weight Burberry wool slacks that captures the spirit and movement of the blouse to perfection.  Christopher Bailey is the

What are the chances of finding not 1 but 2 heavy hitters within the same thrift store and both from the same color palette?  I would have to say slim to none…  I rarely find Loro Piana inside a thrift store, I mean rare-ly…  The Loro Piana family has been in the textile business for 6 generations.  Famed for its meticulous grading of wools, Loro Piana sells its fabric to high end manufacturers, tailors and couturiers such as Brioni, Brooks Brothers and Maggie Norris- makers who sells suits for

You have no idea just how much I long for Italy, if I could spend half the year there I think I would… To me everything about this country is romantic and STYLISH just look at both of these Italian brands Max Mara & Moschino (M&M)…. Max Mara is a model and reference point for Italian and international pret-a-porter; the passion and determination of the founder has been enthusiastically seized by the new generation, continuing the innovative traditions started 50 years ago!  This sexy light weig

I can’t help but smile every time I find anything made by Walking Art from Australia and I know it has everything to do with me being an artist ….  The artwork made famous by world renowned artists are transformed into contemporary women’s fashion clothing, Walking Art garments are deigned to provide a beautiful blend of colors coupled with a maximum sense of STYLE, feel & comfort.  The Walking Art garments have been known worldwide for their contemporary, colorful and classic STYLE of art all

The word of the day is color!  All this ensemble needs is a pair of Piazza Sempione black capri pants and off to the races you go.  This posting is all about not being afraid of color as you can clearly see but to embrace it and be smart on how you arrange it.  Grant it to much color on anyone just makes them look silly but the right amount with a basic anchor color like black, gray or white is perfection on overload.  This plum color Nicole Miller tube top has 101 uses and every woman should

Being involved in the green movement is the neccesary step we all must take to help this planet out so you know I’m taking these steps by leaps and bounds.  I mean just look at this posting and check out all these gorgeous clothes that came out from a thrift store and tell me that this isn’t significant…  I go out everyday and hunt for luxury clothes that are at the last stop before a landfill and rescue them and then pass it on to my clients.  Call me “Superman” if you’re nasty or just ecologi

Nowhere on this pink halter top by Topshop does it say designed by Kate Moss but in my opinion it sure does look like something she would have created for this store.  It isn’t everyday you see an item from Topshop in a thrift store but when it does show up you simply grab it, run to the counter to pay and get the hell out of Dodge…  I love putting this halter top with a black Norma Kamali palm tree printed skirt.   This is a cute and simple look with the Topshop halter and the Norma Kamali ski

OMG this posting is like going to Ben & Jerry’s ice creamery and not knowing where to start..  Both of these brands are fabuloso on so many levels but I have to just jump in and start my blabbing …I mean blogging…  Mark Badgley & James Mischka have been hailed by Vogue as 1 of the “top 10 American Designers” and as the darlings of the Hollywood set.  The design due has made their mark over the past 2 decades with glamorous, STYLISH and wearable evening wear and accessories.  Since joining force

Some lady had to help me scoop up my jaw because it was on the floor after I saw the label on the black skirt….Celine… believe me it isn’t everyday that I run across this luxurious French brand inside a thrift store…  Just like the top made by Walking Art from Australia, you don’t find that brand everyday, every week or month for that matter.  Let me start with the top by Walking Art which is a company from Australia that utilizes famous artist prints and applies them to women’s clothing.    Th

Silk & cotton are 2 fabrics that without we probably would just walk around naked, I know that sounds good to some people….  This posting I put together Helen Wang silk sleeveless top and this MAG by Magaschoni cotton pullover all within the same color palette.  Lets start with Helen Wang who was born in Shanghai and raised in London and discovered her flair for fashion at the tender age of 13.  Helen knew then that fashion was her calling and attended the Parson’s School of Design.  Shortly af

Sometimes all we need is an option and I’m a firm believer in having as many of those as possible, just ask anyone of my friends, so this posting offers 2 tops with 1 bottom…  The 1st top is by 7 for All Mankind and you have to check out the second photo of this pink top so you can see how the backside was designed.  Very STYLISH indeed.  The 2nd top is by Rebecca Taylor and this little number is Sexy with a capital S.  So far what is there not to love about these 2 tops?  7 for all Mankind a

I swear I think this top should be called Dr. Feelgood because just looking at it makes me feel good.  Feelgood Paris is just a basic modern French label that caters to women that want to enter a room in STYLE.  What better STYLE of a skirt than Trina Turk to pair this top to?  If you didn’t know better you would swear I totally rigged this ensemble but I swear to you that both items came out from the Goodwill and within minutes of each other.  If I’m lying may a 1000 bolts of lightening strik
