Spring (526)

 

I remember clearly the day and what I was doing when I found my first Dries Van Noten item, I was thrifting with my friends Sloan & Umie, it was a rainy Friday afternoon…. Finding a Dries Van Noten item is extremely memorable to say the least.  So this is my second item by this Belgian designer and you should have seen just how wide my eyes got when I spotted the label… Oh honey…. Born in Antwerp DVN (if Diane Von Furstenberg can have initials so can Noten) is the 3rd generation in a family of

I truly wish you could have been with me when I found this brand new Etro blouse inside the store because I made some noise.  Even though this is a woman’s blouse and not a man’s shirt (for ME) I’m so damn happy that the STYLE GODS gave me this gorgeous luxury item.  “Etro” is synonymous of STYLE.  It is a lifeSTYLE based upon quality and sophistication, not only in terms of design, but also regarding materials and production techniques.  Established in 1968 this company produced superb fabrics

Isn’t finding luxury brands like Max Mara & Gabriele Strehle inside a thrift store, in pristine condition, like winning the Golden Globe or Oscar?  That’s really a tough call because both awards are so important, just like both of these luxury brands so I’ll have to say both!  This black stretch Max Mara top is really shifting into high speed here because it looks great with this striped skirt but it also would looks STYLISH with your skinny jeans or your Gucci mini skirt!  For now this gorgeous

I’ve just had my Trussardi cherry popped and boy did it feel so good.  Yes this is indeed my very first Trussardi item I’ve ever found and it’s with great thrill because this brand is super luxurious!  Trussardi was founded in Bergamo by Dante Trussardi in 1911, starting out as a factory that produced and distributed luxury gloves.  In just a few years, its high-quality rar materials and constant refinement of leather working techniques made it one of the most prominent firms on the internationa

I swear you could be 19 or 99 years old and still shake it up with this ensemble because true classic STYLE never goes out of STYLE and is ageless.  With the right clutch and heels the woman wearing this outfit could make a deafening statement and not even have to open her mouth doing so.  I love that…  This top is simple and stretchy and I mean stretchy which is fabulous especially with the gold tread running through it.  A little sparkle never hurt anyone now did it?  Before I forget to menti

Listen I’m not a woman but if I were I would want my life to be simple chic.  I like things to be a breeze and that’s this entire posting like this brand new silk Bebe reversible camisole that looks so damn hot with either the Armani or Escada jacket.  Just wear the camisole one way with either jacket and then the next time turn it inside out. …BAM it’s that easy.  I think every woman and man wants their mornings to be as simple as an afternoon cocktail.  This reversible silk Bebe top is so gorg

This tweed jacket by Allen Schwartz is off the chart STYLISH with the zipper front pockets…. If you could only have 1 jacket in your closet, not counting Chanel, it would so have to be this tweed Allen Schwartz jacket.  This jacket just reeks of class and sophistication and the plus side of this is that the design is timeless.  I found these sleek black wool slacks by Laundry by Shelli Segal and wanted to unite them with the tweed jacket.  A little bit of STYLE and a little bit of sleek goes a

When I found this white striped blouse by Magaschoni with a spot on the front did you think that would deter me from snatching it???   Wrong….  There isn’t one stain that Carbona can’t get out and this light coffee stain was out in an instant, just as soon as I dipped it into the Carbona it was out of there.  Next time you are grocery shopping walk down the cleaning aisle and grab a couple of these bottles because I will swear on my big fat cats Jenny’s life that this product works.  I am a huge

This has to be 1 of the most STYLISH jackets of all times and not just because it’s a Dior but because it’s so well designed.  I love the tux cut of this Dior black jacket and the buttons are so glam it’s a perfect 10.  Dior is a classic label and this jacket will work for many decades to come and it work nicely with these black velvet Susana Monaco slacks with leather trim..  Can’t you just see Alexis Carrington wearing this ensemble holding her cigarette in that long holder and of course wear

Taking showers in under 5 minutes & turning off your water faucet while brushing your teeth or shaving is what I consider STYLISH and of course anything designed by Sonia Rykiel!  This is my second item I found inside a thrift store, the first was a 2 piece pink velvet top with skirt but had mold all over it and stunk like crazy so I had to pass on it and you should have seen me, it was the longest goodbye in recorded history…  I waited like the good thrifter I am and the GODS provided me anoth

  I have to say, that I now have a new found appreciation of sex appeal in the basic measuring tape. For a die hard   Louboutin shoe addict, "I'm loving every inch of them." The patent ultra soft calfskin is printed to mimic a measuring tape. A high crisscross ankle strap has a polished, adjustable golden buckle. The retail dimensions are $795.00. Leave it to Christian Louboutin to find a sexy, fun and whimsical " POP-ART" effect in the signature Red sole Spring 2011 shoe collection.

This posting shows how 2 different color tops deliver 1 powerful punch.  The first top is this fuchsia sexy Armani Exchange top and this top delivered a heavy duty punch…. A/X is accessible Armani, inspired by street-chic culture and created by Italian designer and entrepreneur Giorgio Armani and I swear that man never sleeps… The second top is the orange Ella Moss top that delivered a 1-2 punch that is until we introduce both tops to this black nylon Giorgio Armani jacket and then it delivered

Every woman wants to look and feel like she is the only thing on the planet and let me tell you if you wore either dress that’s exactly how you would feel… All eyes would be on you and you alone now I don’t know how you feel about that but I say take it and run.  This black velvet with beading Carmen Marc Valvo is so stunningly beautiful it hurts to look at it.  I’m not kidding you this is so jaw-droppingly gorgeous and again who doesn’t want to look that STYLISH?  Can’t think of a soul….  The o

Love Aquascutum,  LOVE this brand and yes it’s a men’s button up shirt but I don’t give a rats @#% if I’m putting this men’s shirt with these Trina Turk black women’s slacks for this posting..  Women have been wearing men’s clothing for decades and who am I to try to stop them?  I think if something looks a great as this brown Aquascutum shirt then by all means wear it, grant it I’m keeping this Aquascutum shirt for me!  I am generous enough to want to blog about my find.  Aquascutum was establ

I LOVE finding Poleci….LOVE it…  This label is so over the top yummy I can’t help myself each time I find one of their brilliant creations.  Just look at this gold lace top with rhinestones for that extra zinger and tell me this design team made up of Janice Levin-Krok & Jeffrey Chow can’t kick some serious fashion butt.  This top is like a cat on a hot tin roof.  I found these classic Max Mara wool slacks that complement this gold lace top by Poleci beautifully.  Simple chic is what this ensem

I don’t think I have seen a sexier dress than this burgundy velvet gown by Tadashi … well at least not today… This velvet gown tears it up, I mean it is so sexy and chic with the sheer netting sides and backside… this gown is red carpet worthy….Tadashi Shoji was born in Japen and went to Los Angeles Trade Technical School.  There he discovered his passion for fashion design and got the opportunity to help design costumes for music stars such as Elton John, Stevie Wonder & Neil Diamond.  He star
