How about Red?

That's So New York- Usually it's a little unusual to find a label which fits both the unique/alternative category, as well as the title of a mainstream and established designer, simply because it is not unusual for there to be a rather large amount of domino effect-type happenings when designing, meaning that a designer will create something which is in-fact originally 'unique' yet then other designers will go ahead and either replicate the same style of design, or create a piece similar yet wit

That's So New YorkIn addition to my growing obsession with various vintage-type styles, such as the classic military look (which is for another post entirely) followed by my recent admiralty for Buffalo Sweaters, accompanied by one of my oldest favorable trends which leans towards pretty much anything pleated, I have recently began geek-ing out on my laptop for hours on end as I flick through and research pretty much anything related to Japanese fashion. Previously, I thought that Japanese fa

Suzi Chin & ABS by Allen Schwartz dresses….

Suzi Chin dresses are feminine and beautiful and there’s a Suzi Chin dress for every occasion, just as there is a Suzi Chin dress that will look great on every woman.  Feeling beautiful and sexy is what makes wearing a Suzi Chin dress all about and this sassy little SC dress I found hits the ball out of the park.  The other dress I found was this black / white ABS by Allen Schwartz strapless cocktail dress.  ABS affordable luxury caters to the contemporary woman’s never ending craving for fashio

I heard the choir sing when I found this charcoal velvet jacket by Basler and I’m not lying.  This is my very first item I have found by Basler so I’m a plucked flower now…  Basler offers pure and ultra-modern STYLES in supreme quality, their garments exude perfect aesthetics and world class fits.  Basler’s top priorities are outstanding quality, a wealth of optimum STYLE options and clothes that flatter extremely well.  Fashion made by Basler puts the spotlight on the quality conscious and STY

I can see why so many people sleep with James Perse.  Let me clear that up, I can totally see why so many people wear James Perse and I can see how you would want to take him to bed with you at night.  His t’s are the softest I’ve ever felt and this gray short sleeve tee feels like my grandmother’s apron… so soft and yet so modern in design and construction.  I love James Perse because this man knows how to create a sleek tee that is elevated to a whole new meaning…  I found this Trina Turk blac

You could put any DVF. Stella McCartney or Piazza Sempione top under either of these 2 spectacular jackets and be the hit at any party, or just the hit….  The first jacket is black with gray stripes by Alberto Makali and is super chic… you could wear this jacket during the day and just by throwing on your favorite pearls you can take it into the night… The other jacket is teal velvet with fringe trim by Joie works and plays the same way as the Makali jacket… from daytime to nightime within a fl

I know you can’t see the striped Theory button up blouse very well but take my word this blouse looks like it was tailored fit.  I love a good tailored fit blouse / shirt, in fact very little is as grand as wearing a blouse / shirt that feels like it was tailored for you.  Well maybe a 2 week vacation in Capri is grander …  The thing I really love is if you can score yourself a beautiful blouse for next to nothing my best advice is to take it to your alterations place and have them tailor it fo

Los Angeles native, Maria Bianca Nero formally launched her eponymous line in 1998 at her Melrose Avenue Boutique.  6 years earlier in 1992, she had been selling her creations to Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdale’s.  Maria Bianca Nero was a former model and was based in Milan where she had the pleasure to get to know one of Italy’s greatest designer Romeo Gigli.  Inspired by the 40′s & 50′s fashion icons like Audrey Hepburn and Jean Harlow, Maria’s collection gently shapes the classic female f

They don’t call me the ‘serial thrifter’ for nothing as my friend Wendy would say… I dig through hundreds to thousands of items to find the very best or unusual say for instance this striped dress by West Kei that all I can find on this brand is that sell it at Nordstrom and this brand doesn’t seem to have their own website…  all I can find about this brand is that its affordable which is always good.  So I grabbed the dress because I loved the construction and then grabbed this black Oscar de

This outfit is for the woman on the go, who knows where she is going but she is in motion.  This silk abstract top by Tahari is classic and elegant and looks fantastic with the herringbone pattern pink wool skirt by Lilly Pulitzer.  I love to mix up patterns and then anchor it with a solid jacket such as this khaki Theory one.  This entire ensemble: Tahari silk top, Lilly Pulitzer skirt and Theory jacket all got gobbled up when I slung open the door and pillaged.  Quick simple and tasteful is w

Black is the new black but then again black never went out of STYLE….  I love both of these simple  dresses and the black pair of brand new Prada flats that go with either dress…The first dress is by Velvet by Graham & Spencer, Jenny Graham & Toni Spencer, and it is as soft as a baby’s booty….  I love the cotton they use for their designs.  Graham & Spencer fuse quality with trend setting basics, and the result is a collection of soft and sensuous t’s that flatter without sacrificing feminine f

Yes I love it when I find Nanette Lepore and Trina Turk but what I really love is finding a vintage piece by Philippe Adec such as this jacket…. At one point Philippe Adec was sold in Neiman Marcus but those days are gone so when I find a Adec jacket that was made in France I get excited.  Please don’t get me wrong I love Nanette Lepore and Trina Turk, these 2 great American designers are STYLISH and progressive all within one scoop.  Just check out the detail work on the black knit top by Lepo

This 2 piece dress suit by Nantette Lepore is so damn cute.  I love the chocolate brown with a pink trim color palette here…LOVE that color combination and it is everything you would expect from Nanette Lepore.  Nanette Lepore was born in Ohio and is a very well known fashion designer based in NYC.  New York Magazine has said that she is “known for her feminine STYLE and fine detailing, Nanette Lepore makes ultra-chic clothes that are the same time easy to wear.”  That just about sums it all up

This vintage YSL Rive Gauche blouse is really vintage and so spectacular I really don’t have to say much and that would be the first…  Yves Saint Laurent was the first couture house to launch, in 1966, the modern concept of luxury women’s pret-a-porter, in a collection called Rive Gauche.  It was followed in 1969 by a Rive Gauche men’s ready to wear line.  The YSL Rive Gauche boutiques were soon opened throughout the world, allowing fashion conscious working individuals to wear the YSL designs.

I just have one thing to say and that is thank you CJ for donating your lovely Moschino blouse so that I may gobble it up and blog about it… That was very generous of you and I appreciate that kind of giving…  giving for the selfless act that is until I come pillaging…Love this cream blouse by Moschino, it’s very STYLISH and high glam and will never go out of being in vogue.  I found this lovely brand new Cynthia Steffe skirt that has shades of cream in the skirt pattern so it’s a no-brainer to

This posting is very interesting to me because the first item I found were the black Laundry by Shelli Segal slacks with the peekaboo floral cutouts, click on the image of the photo to see the detail, looked very familiar to me.  I had found these slacks once before and posted my blog about it except the slacks weren’t designed by Laundry the first time but Vivienne Tam….  Yes these slacks are identical to what I had found previously.  Like that famous question what came first the chicken or th

I found this incredibly gorgeous wrap cotton blouse by Neiman Marcus made with handkerchief fabric so it’s soft to the 10th degree.  It ties in the back, click on the photo to see the backside of the blouse, and this top is elegant chic.  Wear this top with anything and you’ll be the ‘star’.  I know both of these slacks are a bit on the ‘spring / summer’ side of life but when the universe opens its loving arms to you and gives you slacks by Womyn & Ferragamo you just have to accept your fate and

All this ensemble needs is your little Jil Sander black jacket and you are good to go.  I always like it when I find City DKNY and this blue top with the velvet trim at bottom is shi shi.  On the bottom of this City DKNY top there are pull tags that allow you to tighten or loosen the waistband, it’s those little touches that make Donna Karen so shi shi.  Speaking of glam I found this Trina Turk striped skirt that looks fantastic with the City DKNY top.  These Elizabeth and James booties add tha
