This top would lookspectacular with just about anything because the first thing you’llnotice is the construction and fabric of this piece and both are firstrate. Max Mara, an upscale luxury Italian women’s fashion house, ismost famous today for

This is the very first piece from Tibi I have scored from thrifting and I think it’s a sleek one. Whatmakes writing a daily blog so much fun for me is times like this when Ihave found my first item by this brand that is carried in NeimanMarcus and Saks Fifth Avenue and gets to talk about it. Tibiis the brainchild of Amy Smilovic who grew up on a small island off thecoast of Geogia and in 1997 moved to Hong Kong with her husband. Sheis crazy for prints and color in unexpected combinations, she lo

This is my second Miss Sixty item I have found within a few weeks of each other and this black cottontop with its leather trim collar brings the house down. The other Miss Sixtyitem I found were silver denim pants that would look amazing with thisblack top as well but that’s a whole other posting…I love finding MissSixty, the brand is made in Italy so you can easily see the Italianinfluences in there creations. Case in point this black cotton top withleather trim, it’s on fire hot… The other top

It isn’t everyday I see a dress that knocks me off my pedestal like the way thissexy lace dress did. This stretchy lace dress is by Naf Naf Paris andit shouts “La Dolce Vita” which is Italian for “The Sweet Life” and notFrench but you get my drift….France – Italy they are neighbors…. In afantasy world between realism and wonderful, Naf Naf revives the magicand adventure to deliver us a contemporary perspective betweenfemininity enchanting and romantic fantasy… Naf Nafis one of France’s top ten w

Not only is this ensemble juicy with design but it’s just your classic casual all American look. The red cotton top is by Juicy Couture and there is so much detail in this top it’s really hard focus, I meanwill you click on the detail photo and look at the backside of this topand see the elastic waistband stitching…. It’s these minute details thatelevated this label into the stratosphere. Red is such a passionatecolor and I love it when it’s used in fashion and hate it when they useit for car co

These slacks by Rene Lezard are the firsts for me by this label and since they are madeof silk and cotton I think I did myself proud. These are gorgeous andever so classic slacks by Lezard, it’s a perfect year round color andtimeless in construction. Rene Lezard has been described as Russianbohemian meets Emma Peel – very trendy and very now fashion that’s a bit of East meets West! The German fashion company of Rene Lezardwas founded in 1978 in Germany by Thomas Schaefer. Rene Lezard is atop Ger

I love this LBD by Laundry by Shelli Segal, love that it’s a spaghetti string dress that is sheerat the bottom so it’s even sexier than normal. I know who wantsnormal? I wanted to show this black dress with this chic velvet wrap byBebe. The wrap is made of rayon and silk and looks 100 zilliontrillion billion million times better than real fur. I hate fur, I meanI really hate fur and I can’t stand that at this day and age we arestill clubbing our animals to wear their skins, it makes me want topu

They opened uptheir design studio in 2004 after a lifetime of personal andprofessional admiration inspired them to work together. They arenatives from Ke

I promise my vent session will not last long but I’m truly tired of watching how a fewtalentless people hijack the media. Have you noticed that too? Iwon’t name names here because I don’t think that’s very STYLISH to beginwith but these people that smack gum like crazy andhave jacked up hair with their fake tans are horrid dressers. No STYLEwhatsoever and it just makes me need someone to pass me a bucket.. Oksorry about the rant but I’m so OVER people hijacking the media intothinking they actual

Finding this Eskandar white striped cotton top is like being blessed by theLeprechauns and finding that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Eskandaris the namesake clothing company for women best known for itscomfortable layering pieces able to be easily removed with the weather.Designer Eskandar Nabavi uses fabric and classic designs not dictatedby trends to create his wearable pieces. Anytime a designer createspieces that are not following trends in my book is a true ‘artist’.This is exactl

There are 2 things in life I can’t live without: good food + exquisite clothes.

Growing up in the 70′s people asked me which Catwoman I liked best: Julie Newmar orEartha Kitt and that was a no brainier for me…Eartha Kitt honey….alwaysEartha Kitt. Loved Julie Newmar but for me there was only one Catwomanand that was Eartha. That’s what I had on my brain when I first sawthis gray wool jersey jumpsuit by Bergdorf Goodman. See how strange mymind works? Eartha Kitt popped into my head when I pulled this jumpsuitfrom the rack and I just smiled because it took me back to my youth…

My heart sank just a tiny bit when I first spotted this Maria Bianca Nero silk camisole because Iactually thought it might be a Pucci and I love my Pucci now. I wasquite pleased to see this label though, Maria Bianca Nero, because this is my first piece of recycled luxury from this brand andI’m excited. Maria Wojciechowski is a Los Angeles native and growingup she dreamed of actually going into retail. She dreamed of having herown store that dealt with beautiful and precious garments. Shemodeled

I swear if these jeans could fit my butt I would wear them everyday of my life…. These sexy silverjeans by Miss Sixty are HOT and I mean on fire hot, like hot as inmucho caliente. Fire baby fire….saucy…. When I first grabbed thesejeans I actually did say a slight prayer to the GODS to make these formen and make them in my size but the GODS weren’t having it….at leastnot today…. Miss Sixty has been a trendsetter now for almost 2 decadessince it launched in 1991 by Wichy Hassan. This Italian high

Each one of these dresses are on fire and I mean on fire, they are hot, sassy, chic and most important SEX-y. 2 of the 3 dressesI had never heard of before, never saw their labels in a thrift store,never heard about them…nothing.

The firstdress I found was the pink cotton with silk sleeveless dress that poufs,it’s a pouf dress, that reminded me of an early Christian Lacroix,and is Mag Couture. Never h

Yes what’s her name is still modeling for me and I’m desperately seeking a name instead ofSusan… My eyes bugged out when I first felt this blouse and then sawthe French Connectiontag still on the rayon top. This top doesn’t even feel like rayon itfeels more like cotton with rayon, it’s just so super soft. Iabsolutely love the zipper on the back as you can see from detailphoto. This top still had the Bloomingdale’s $98 tag on it and you knowI didn’t pay anywhere near that neighborhood. This brand

I’m having a flashback and I swear to you no drugs are involved. It was 1980 and I was in highschool in south Texas in a tiny town called Raymondville, you driveright by it on your way to South Padre Island and if you blink you’llmiss the entire town. It was right there at that moment where Iencountered my first fashionista and her name was Camille. Camille wasfrom an affluent family, her father was a very successful attorneyand one of the nicest classiest men of all times. Camille was justlike
