You should have seen my eyes when I spotted the Paul Smith label because I don’t believe anyone could have made their eyes open as wide as I did!  Everything I see this label I always hope it’s a man’s item and most importantly that it’s my size.  I LOVE Paul Smith.  This lovely tailored blouse will make some lady very happy and I am pleased to do that.  Paul Smith is the son of a draper who began his fashion career by opening a boutique in England in 1970.  Paul Smith’s collections are produced

The Tara Jarmon label is synonymous with Parisian femininity, but with clothing available in shops all over Europe and online retailers such as ShopSTYLE.com, it is possible for all women to get their hands on her sleek, STYLISH wares.  Wear Tara Jarmon whenever you want to feel sexy andd fashionable without sacrificing comfort and practicality.  This brown with the tiniest pink of all pink polka dots is so beyond being STYLISH it hurt my head!  This lovely beauty marched out of the thrift store

When I find a Maria Bianca Nero item in the thrift stores I always gobble them up because I LOVE her!!  MBN is a former fashion model that was based in Milan and her designs are strongly influenced by Italian fashion designers like Azzedine Alaia and Romeo Gigli so you know this woman had amazing taste.  Her work is sold in  Neiman Marcus but not many.  I love finding this silk lace MBN dress at the Goodwill and yes I said thank you to the GODS above.  MBN where every your at please know you are

I’ve honestly tried to get any information about this brand so that I can chat it up but even their website just says “coming soon.”  I can tell you that this line is sold in Saks Fifth Avenue and for more than one shiny penny.  I wish you could see the lines and details on this dress but since it’s black that’s very hard to do but trust me, this dress has a lot of STYLE.  The tiniest detail I was able to get was that “I believe” this is a line from Milan other than that I know nothing.  These b

I was digging for gold in the blouse section of Goodwill when out from the corner of my eyes I saw this pattern and knew it was greatness.  I walked over to the dresses and plucked this dress out immediately and just imagine my delight when I saw this early 80′s DVF label.  An early DVF 80′s dress with a classic and I mean classic harlequin pattern that made my giggle like a damn fool.  Now if only I could have found these Christian Louboutin patent-leather sandals too but I think when the GODS

This posting gets me so worked up in that freakish way.  I mean I waltzed into the thrift store and first grabbed the Marc by Marc Jacobs top and I’m a big fan of MJ so it’s always a treat when I find this label.  I love this quote from MJ from the New York Magazine “I like romantic allusions to the past: what the babysitter wore, what the art teacher wore, what I wore during my experimental days in fashion when I was going to the Mudd Club and wanted to be a New Wave kid but was really a poseur

Escada is 1 of these brands that I will always salvage and this pink beaded t-shirt EscadaSport needed my love.  German fashion house Escada is a brand formerly known for glamorous evening gowns, gold buttons and big shoulder pads but all that is changing as fast as I type this.  Today Escada’s is moving towards more contemporary and affordable everyday STYLES.  The brand was purchased by Megha Mittal who plans to turn the brand around and that’s the exciting part.  This pink beaded butterfly t-

f there is 1 thing I love it’s showing & telling people how to dress like they just waltzed out from Neiman’s or Saks.  This entire ensemble looks DIVINE and over the top sophisticated and yet it didn’t break my bank and that’s because I know how to thrift.  Today thrifting is the greenest form of shopping there is so to all my readers out there that aren’t thrifting you might want to turn on the light.  Just check out this gorgeous black / gray short sleeve brand new Calvin Klein dress and when

“You are only as good as the people you dress” has got to be my favorite quote from Halston.  Did you know that Halston designed the pillbox hat Jacqueline Kennedy wore for her husband’s inauguration as president?  Well he did and then some.  Halston moved from designing hats to ready to wear clothes for Bergdorf Goodman, and set up his own studio in 1968.  Halston’s signature perfume, called Halston, became the 2nd best selling fragrance ever and he won 5 Coty Awards, and was selected for the F

Have you seen the movie HappyThankYouMorePlease because there is a line from that movie that I not only swear by but wholeheartedly agree with and it was ‘when something good comes your way say thank you more please.’  The actress in the movie said that when you say thank you to the universe – ask for more because the universe looks to give you more if you just ask.  I believe this 100% that because everything I find something in the thrift store I say “thank you more luxury please.”  I swear on

I just finished watching Vanishing of the Bees and yes I’m a little shaken at the moment because since I’ve been doing some gardening I’ve noticed very few bees in my yard so I know this documentary to be true.  I’ve planted a ton of organic sunflowers that I bought from my local health food store.  The few bees I’ve seen in my garden love me for doing that.  I don’t mean to toot my own horn here but I do consciously try to do thing in my world that leave less impact.   This blog is important to

I love chocolate so this posting is going to make me hungry I can already tell.  Each of these items came out of different thrift stores but the same day.  I found this gorgeous Theory blouse at one thrift store and hopped in my car and drove down the street to another and found this tan Piazza Sempione skirt.  I believe in destiny and so I know it was meant for me to unite both of these together so I can give you that 1-2 punch.  So if you’re hungry for luxury and don’t want to overpay start th

I have no idea where we would be as a society without Halston do you ???  I’m glad we don’t truly have to ponder that because Halston was a true genius and left this planet way to early.  I’ve said this a million times when I see the label Halston inside a thrift store I just grab it because I don’t care if it’s the mid level line or affordable level line, I don’t give a rats #@% what level just as long as it says Halston.  I love this size 12 Halston brown wrap blouse, a wrap is a wrap but a Ha

I’ve never heard of Daniel Bouden before but I saw the rest of the label which said Formes Paris so I figured what can be so bad about a dress designed & made in France?  I do know that Daniel Bouden is probably known for his body conscious clothes judging from this dress.  If a genie granted me 3 wishes I would have to say that finding these YSL python wedge sandals inside the thrift store would have to be 1 of them!!  Call me crazy but please call me STYLISH first….  Get that genie to send you

I recognized this label in a heart beat and you should have heard just how loud that heart beat was !  I have NEVER seen this label inside a thrift store, NEVER, so you can just imagine my de-lite.  Marine Sitbon designed her collections from spring 1986- fall 2004 and this quote from STYLE.COM sums her up nicely “She has perfected, over the past few seasons, a move away from her stark, severe look to something that’s much easier – a kind of dreamy romanticism shot through with a street-cred spo

I don’t know why I’m going to tell you this but here goes, lint from the dryer & cat hair from the cat brush I collect, ball it up then I walk to the living room window and pitch it outside.  Why you ask???  Because it helps the birds build their nest so why throw that away just let it help nature.  I swear doing great things to help out our lovely planet is as easy as 1-2-3 just like buying your clothes second hand.  Speaking of 2nd hand will you just look at this Nanette Lepore sexy top and th

When I first spotted this silky sexy Halston I thought it was a nightgown and then I smiled and said to myself ‘I don’t give a rats #$%@ what it is I’m using it as a dress”!  It very well could be a sexy nightgown top but I’ll never forget when Lauren Hutton worn pajamas with an Armani jacket to the Academy Awards years ago and everyone went GAGA over it and I’m not talking Lady Gaga!  Roy Halston Frowick went from millinery into womenswear in the midst of the Studio 54 glamour fueled era and ma

The nation-wide Borders closing is extremely emotional, but here are some of my top fashion book picks to snag during their liquidation sale.

My heart pumps so fast when I spot something that I think could be Pucci and when I saw this blouse on the racks I felt my heart skip with excitement.  It turned out not to be a Pucci but instead a Michael Kors silk blouse and I can’t complain.  Micheal Kors’ all American collections are a byword for uptown chic.  Launched in 1981, Kors’ eponymous brand of luxe tailored sportswear instantly caught the attention of press and buyers alike and has retained stellar status ever since.  I scored these
