catwalk (101)

Someone please call 911 because with this super power posting I’m going to need all the additional help I can muster.  I mean this is action packed in this posting we have Anna Sui, Vince, Max Mara & Philippe Adec does life get any sweeter than this?  Lets roll…. I found this brand new Anna Sui bedazzled and bejeweled burgundy top and I love me some Anna Sui…LOVE HER…. within minutes of finding a brand new Anna Sui top I found this gray Vince top.  Vince was born in Los Angeles and is quickly be

You know the thing I love the most about thrift store shopping other than the obvious fact that its the greenest form of shopping there is but because you get very STYLISH pieces.  I mean really and truly look at this posting and tell me otherwise.  The 2 tops are by Alice + Trixie & Michael Kors and both are sassy.  Vibrant patterns & effortless, chic silhouettes infused with boho-glamour are the essence of Alice + Trixie.  Each season designer & globetrotter Angela Taylor George delivers a fre

My neighbor is in the film industry and not to long ago she had just returned from a shoot in LA and she told me that I would be all the rage out there.  Not because of my good looks or charming personality but because of doubletake.  She told me that people in Chicago, LA and NYC eat this green movement of shopping UP… She told me “Daniel you’re ahead of the curve.”   I love being ahead of the curve it beats being on the curb!  Speaking of having vision I’m a huge fan of Norma Kamali so check

Pretend you’re watching a sci-fi movie and they are aiming their laser beams right at you and firing 1 round after the other, well that’s kinda what’s happening with this posting.  I’ve given you the 1-2 blast and it starts right at the top.  I found these 2 gorgeous tops really within minutes of each other inside the thrift store.  First  I collected  this Vertigo Paris blouse, which I totally LOVE, then I spotted this brown silk camisole by Theory.  Love Theory because to me their designs are

There are 2 things I can live without: cheap clothes & FUR…    I am going to be brutally honest right here, I spend hours everyday inside thrift stores, clothing liquidation stores, estate sales, etc looking for luxury and I can’t tell you just how many times during the day I see brands like Miley Cyrus, Daisy Fuentes, Kathy Lee Gifford and some many more I can’t count.  I don’t know why everyone seems to think they can design what they are indeed doing is being wasteful.  I see tons of their i

This posting will have you all drooling all over the floor because I know I’ve already had to wipe up once already…  I have always been a fan of the Italian brand Zanella but when I saw this label which said Zanella Platinum my heart started to beat with rapid fire.  Sure enough when I pulled the front jacket open I saw the label inside that said the fabric was made in Italy by Loro Piana…. Loro Piana is the Rolls Royce of the fabric industry, its the highest bar there is.  This raspberry color

A wrap top is a must have for 2011 and beyond!  Wrap tops can totally elevate any piece just look at this posting.  I have put this Michael Stars wrap top with a pair of dressy Trina Turk slacks and these casual sporty Lilly Pulitzer slacks.  Dressy & casual these slacks are and yet with this one simple chic wrap top you get 2 very different looks.  All 3 items were just hanging out within the same thrift store waiting for me to rescue them.  Think green & outside the box and shop at your local

Love Letters


I've never been a fan of long-distance relationships...



Especially when that distance is 1,000 miles between me and fashion. As a Floridian, New York Fashion Week is a distant dream. While I'm down here at work or at school, thousands of fashion fans and MVPs are basking in the resplendence of the runways; some of them even friends of mine! And through them (and TWITTER) I've been living vicariously, waiting with baited breath for the next update.

Get the Asian influence

Ever thought saris are beautiful but just for Asian women?

Rubbish! The beautiful light, floating material used to make saris is absolutely ideal for hot, sultry summers, as well as being able to accentuate a great figure, or mask any imperfections.

With European and Asian fashions and culture now merging more than ever, we are seeing saris not just in Asian-focused stores, but on the catwalk too.

This gorgeous little number somehow manages to fuse Asian with Greek, resulting in a stylish outfit wh

“The difference between the model on the catwalk and model in the studio is in the fact that working in the studio definitely gives you more freedom to play around and create the perfect look for a particular label. Whereas doing a catwalk is a momentary choreographed presentation of the designer`s work, that presented in a certain way instantly”, - Melanija Kozulin, model, Australia, for FotyMody.
