This posting is about how 3 different skirts by 3 different designers can look so STYLISH with 1 Michael Stars t-shirt.  Nanette Lepore, Theory & Cynthia Steffe designed each one of these skirts and each one has a unique cut and fit.  The Nantette Lepore skirt with flower appliques and sequins is hip and chic.  The Theory skirt is streamline and minimal which always works ,think Jil Sander,  and then the Cynthia Steffe with pink flowers and velvet trim work is just so Cynthia Steffe beautiful. 

Finding Robert Graham is like biting into that Godiva and not knowing or caring whats inside… Its all yummy.  I love this white eyelet fabric Robert Graham button up blouse and all the detailing, but then again the detailing is what sets a Robert Graham shirt apart from others.  It’s all about the attention to details and with every Graham the interior lining on the collar and cuffs are different patterns which takes an ordinary shirt / blouse and makes it extraordinary.  Since 2001, Robert Gra

Is there such a thing as overindulging one’s self??  I sure hope not because if we can’t indulge ourselves here and there then why get out of bed???  With this blog posting I will indulge my clients in chic luxury with this DVF top and silk Akris skirt.  Each time I find a DVF I can’t help but wonder how it got there and who gave up a DVF???  I know women that have their original DVF wrap dress from the 70′s and cherish it even more today so how a DVF item lands in the clutches of a thrift stor

I have never found anything by Dina Bar-El until now and I think the wait was so worth it.  This long gray knit wool dress by Dina Bar-El hugs the body like an Hermes glove.  Dina founded her first design company in 1974.  As a former model, Dina makes it her business to know her customer and understand the sexy curves of a women’s body.  Dina Bar-El dresses continue to grace the red carpet on numerous celebrities.  She began designing t-shirts from her living room, forming an enterprise that q

WOW this posting has an all star punch and I like my punch… This retro influenced Nicole Miller dress is so sassy it’s priceless.  Love Nicole Miller and everything she touches and this dress is something I could see Goldie Hawn wear.  Love the color combination and pattern, to me this dress has that 1-2 punch.  Next dress is by Ella Moss and it’s so soft, like all her clothes, I have to stop brushing my face up against the fabric…. Pamella Protzel Scott is hip, quirky and yes fashionable and i

I don’t even know where to begin with this entry because I love both of these brands so much it’s crazy…Nanette Lepore and Byblos, its just way to much for me to handle in one entry but being the trooper that I am I’ll give it a whirl…  This gorgeous Nanette Lepore jacket with it’s glen plaid pattern is sleek beyond all comprehension.  In every Nanette Lepore piece there is always a touch of wit and in my opinion that’s what makes her a brilliant fashion designer.  When the GODS above gave me t

Each time I find Jil Sander I swear I hear bells ring and my hearing is just fine…  Ok before I cut to the chase I’ll tell you about the black top by Susana Monaco not only is it practical on all counts but well designed too.  Leave it to Susana Monaco to construct clothes that are comfortable and STYLISH.  Now it’s time for the Jil Sander jacket throw down….  German born designer Jil Sander launched her first womenswear collection in 1973, opening up her first Hamburg based store at just 24 ye

If there is 1 thing I love more than finding a new item in a thrift store e.g. Cynthia Steffe black top,  it’s a vintage couture Givenchy skirt.  I wouldn’t kick either of them to the curb especially anything vintage Givenchy but lets talk about the top…This is a simple black knit Cynthia Steffe top can be worn with a camisole, tank or tube top…love the diversity.  Now for the fun lets talk about the vintage Givenchy wool skirt..  Riccardo Tisci’s Givenchy is hot.  So hot, few can resist his go

These 2 St John tops are obviously from the same owner because they are the same size and both had been lovely taken care of, and who knows maybe Kate Winslet donated them and it was just my lucky day…  I’m not kidding when I tell you this but both tops were side by side and when I plucked the first one out from the rack I smiled and when I plucked the second one out I threw my hands up and say thank you… Pink and black are both classic and timeless colors that when added to your wardrobe only

This ensemble was meant to be put together in 60 seconds so you can be out the door inSTYLE in under a minute.  This super sleek top by Michael Stars is sobeautiful because all you do is slip it over and go and it looks chic…. Michael Starsis a brilliant designer in my opinion because he designs tees that aresophisticated and yet timeless so if you don’t already own his tees whatin the world are you waiting for???  These slacks are done by Italy’sfinest fashion house Piazza Sempione….LOVE this

This posting is about 3 American designers that have all cranked up the WOW factor….  My first wow dress is by Michael Kors, its gray with white trim, silk & sleeveless and makes you smile when you see it.  I have no idea what is left for me or anyone to say about the talented Kors except that thank goodness American has this shiny example of good taste.  The 2nd wow dress is by Ralph Lauren and yes I have a weakness for paisley… Paisley is just like the houndstooth print, it NEVER goes out of

It seems like only yesterday I blabbed about Michael Stars….oh wait I believe it was….LOVE Stars soevery golden opportunity the GODS give me to salvage one from thethrift stores is an opportunity well given….  This Starstee still has the original price tag of $60 on it and I grabbed it andran…  Slap on your camisole underneath, or not (my policy is ‘don’task don’t judge), and wear this Stars tee out in all its glory…Now whatI really love is this Betsey Johnson silk skirt….Where would thisplanet

It took me 2 thrift stores to get this ensemble just right but that was perfectly fine by me… Hunting for STYLE is what its all about, finding great STYLE is essential… From top to bottom this outfit has the STYLE volume on maximum.  From top we have this cute Cynthia Steffe white cotton short sleeve blouse that would work beautifully with just about anything because we all know that Shaun Kearney for Cynthia Steffe is masterful and brilliant…. On top of this gorgeous blouse I found, from the s

This modern Theory light weight wool dress that has 2 zippers on the bottom of skirt is sohot and STYLISH it hurts and that’s the magic of this brand.  Not onlydoes Theory design gorgeous simple chic ensembles, they do it usingfirst rate fabrics and you feel that in their creations.  Soonafterwards I picked this quilted jacket by Taharithat has the coolest geometric shapes that when you put it over thisgray wool Theory dress it elevates it so over the top, it’s off thechart….  These are 2 very

My close friends ask me 2 questions each time they see me…  1.) what are you wearing??  2.) how much did you pay for it?…..  So what I’m trying to say here is you too can get your friends to start asking those questions to you as well.. It would only have to take wearing this gorgeous simple chic ensemble to begin the process….  I love finding new items and as you can see from the photo that this top by Paul & Joe Sister line for Urban Outfitters still has the original price tag of $132.00 on i

I’ve never found a Ya item before but when I saw this top I just had to grab it.  Ya Los Angeles mission is to make women look and feel great.  They believe that part of what makes us all unique and special is that we all strive to uplift and empower one another and clothes have that effect… From what I’ve been able to find online about his brand is that its moderately prices which is always a good thing these days….  When I found this very long Theory skirt I knew I wanted to combine the 2.  I

When I had both of these dresses firmly in my clutch I realized that both of thesecolors are so fall harvest colors.  The first dress I gobbled up wasthis brown rayon & spandex dress by Vertigo Paris. I love the color combination of this brown dress with its golden trim,it makes me want to drink a cappuccino and listen to Malcolm McLaren Paris cd ( highly recommend clicking the Paris link).  The second dress is the orange color by Michael Korsand since you already know by now that orange is my

WHAM is the word I’m using to describe both of these items because both of them were brand new….WHAMand it feels so good…. I love finding brand new items in a thriftstore, love it…its what I live for daily and in this case just look atthese labels…I found this brand new red silk top by Miguelina,still with tags, and was quite pleased.  It can be said that an aprofound sense of STYLE has always been innate in Miguelina Gambaccini. In 1997 when the designer first launched her collection of chic a

Paisley never ever goes out of STYLE in fact it’s been in vogue since it’s conception.  Paisley is adroplet shaped motif of Indian and Persian origin.  The pattern issometimes called “Persian pickles” by American traditionalist,especially quilt makers, or “Welsh pears” in Welsh textiles as far backas 1888.  Resembling a twisted teardrop, the kidney shaped paisley isPersian and Indian in origin, but its western name derives from thetown of Paisley in Scotland.  This sexy short sleeve Neiman Marc

This blog posting is exciting for me because this makes the second item I’ve found from BethBowley and just like the previous item before,  this silk skirt is sassyand sexy.  Before I get carried off in a tangent on Beth Bowley let me just say that I found the Theory silk polka dot blouse with elastic wrist bands first.  Leave it to Theoryto design something modern and classic such as this polka dot silkblouse…this item will NEVER go out of STYLE….Ok back to Beth.. BethBowley became a fashion d
