Stop right now if you think this Nicole Miller 2 piece white on white formal dress suit ensemble is a bit on the “oldlady” side of life. No offense to old ladies out there. Sometimes awhite on white ensemble might get construed as to sophisticated – to“formal”. Hold everything and every thought right now. The magicalthing about this 2 piece Nicole Miller dress suit is that yes for a niceformal occasion such as a wedding this outfit is perfect. You canalso just wear the dress without the jacket a
I have always loved combining brown + red in my wardrobe, I think it’s a stunning union.Red = fire and brown = earth so you have 2 opposite elements battling itout and you see that when you combine the 2 colors. There is thatstruggle of succession that I’m enamored with. Enough psycho babbletalk about what I think these 2 colors mean lets get down to business. Icollected this gorgeous Theory chocolate brown stretch top that is inpristine condition. For TheorySpring 2010, 17 stylists pored over t
It’s always a good day in my house when I brag home a Diane von Furstenberg item from the thriftstore. All hell could break loose and that still wouldn’t upset me if Ihad just collected a recycled luxury item such as DVF. Diane von Furstenbergis one of the premier names in American fashion, it was founded in 1972by the designer. Renowned for its iconic wrap dress and signatureprints, DVF has grown into the global luxury lifestyle brand it istoday. The photo of her in the red dress standing next

I had no idea just how hard it was going to be to get any kind of information about Shomi by MillerShor but when I saw this jacket in the thrift store I say ‘I’ll throwthe dice’. The single reason I grabbed this jacket is because of themodern abstract design of the jacket. I love the white stripe onfront, it’s so contemporary and fresh. I’ve Googled this label andreally couldn’t find any information on this brand which is to badbecause if this company manufactured this brilliant piece then whate
Paging Elizabeth Wayman will you please come to the front of the line….To be honest with you Ihad never heard of Elizabeth Wayman when I pillaged this gorgeous blackdress from a thrift store, all I knew is that I loved the cut andthought this dress had STYLE. The label is Elizabeth WaymanNew York size 4 and so what I did was whip out my iPhone and Googledthat name and came up with a website but one that is poorly attendedto. On that site there are 3 links: collection, pr & contact. Nowhere on th
I’ve added a new addiction to my life recently, it’s the Showtime smash hit ‘The Big C‘ with one of my favorite actresses of all time Laura Linney. It’s amajor addiction in my life so much that every Monday my life pauses abrief moment to really pay attention. Without giving to much awayLaura Linney’s charcter Cathy has, you got it, cancer and up to thispoint in her life she has played by the rules, done everything right.Instead of just giving up and waiting to exhale the last breathe she isgoin
I don’t care how many LBD’s (little black dress) you have hanging in your closet, there is always room for one more. I absolutely love how you can wear this Laundry by Shelli Segal LBD solo or in this case throw over a little St Johnknit cardigan and really turn up the STYLE volume. I’m sure somewhereout there on the internet there is someone talking about how many waysone can wear a LBD. If you’re really creative and I know you all are,you can crank up your volume the next time you wear your LB
I am salivating over these gorgeous modern Walking Art made in Australia black & white stretchdenim slacks. With images like Venus de Milo and the famous ‘Clocksthat Melt’ by Salvador Dalion these stretch denim you can see why I’m salivating. I’ve honestlytried to research this brand and nothing really came up and I hate thatbecause when a company manufactures a excellent piece of art like theseslacks with no website they are missing the boat. These Walking Artslacks would look fantastic with yo

Lets start with theblack linen MaxMaralong dress made in Italy. This dress is a classic, it’s somethingthat would carry you for many years to come and all you n
I think this striped pattern is so modern and contemporary and it doesn’t hurt it’s by DVF either. I LOVE Diane von Furstenberg or Diane Simone Michelle Halfinwhich was her birth name. DVF was born in Brussels Belgium and studiedeconomics at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. When she was 18she met Prince Egon of Furstenberg at the university, he was the elderson of a German prince and his first wife, an heiress to the Fiatautomotive fortune. They married in 1969 and the couple had 2childr
I am always pleasantly surprised by the first rate quality of recycled luxury brand clothingtee shirts I find inside a thrift store. Whether its spring, summer,fall or winter having an amply supply of luxurious tees are essential.So you know I was happy when I found this Tahari purple cotton shortsleeve tee and not just because of the obvious reason the label butbecause of that color. Common connotations for purpleare: royalty, imperialism, nobility, upper class, friendship, passion,sharing, wis
One look at this Tahari Arthur S. Levine black with pink pinstriped jacket and I was sold.It’s very modern and STYLISH with the pink bows on the front pockets butjust the color combination is a home run or touch down or is it a fieldgoal? You get my drift, the black and pink combination is extremelysophisticated and elegant. You might ask what is the differencebetween Tahari and Arthur S. Levine and I’ll tell you. Elie Tahariis the designer behind the $500 million empire and retailers likeNeiman
Every Sunday morning now for the past 20 + years I have always watched the CBS Sunday Morning show and their logo is the smiley sun. When I saw this vintage Dior black and white jacket with the sun’s face it just made me so damn happy. It reminded me of a Piero Fornasetti design which I am always looking for in thrift stores. This Diorjacket looks as fresh as the day it was conceived, just throw on someskinny jeans or legging and you are ready for all the attention youcould ever ask for. In 1996
