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’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
Here is a little inside tip next time you hit a thrift store don’t assumethat the clothing is arranged in their proper places….. Here is what Iam talking about , when I found this gorgeous Robert Grahamshirt I initially thought it was a woman’s blouse because I wasactually in the women’s section of the thrift store. I picked it upbecause I of course recognized the label and I thought the pattern andfabric was beautiful. Then I noticed that the buttons were on the rightside of the shirt so this t
At this point my new mannequin still doesn’t have a name and I feel really sorry for her.Maybe I should call her Mutt or maybe Stray because if she were ananimal and ran around free without a name that’s what we would callthem….No Mutt & Stray doesn’t sound very STYLISH…. Ok back to mypost…. I’ll tell you I was very happy and flattered that I found thewhite cotton Tory Burchtop but I’m going to be honest with you about the Marc Bouwer brownrayon skirt, I literally pissed in my pants ! There I wa
Always remember this name ‘Rayure’ when you are out pillaging thrift stores like I dodaily…. This is a fabulous French company that manufacturesincredible designs. Rayureis based on a timeless fashion design concept of black and white color,which took influence from “stripes”. It is also realization of ayoung French designer’s dream and the unification of a couple’s love in1993. Cindy Benhamou was fascinated by the wonderful world of fashionfrom a very young age and became a designer by the infl
White is one of my favorite colors, the other being orange, and I believe white is a yearround color. I know we all have heard that dreadful comment about notwearing white passed Labor day and not until Easter and my thoughts arethis “are we back in the 50′s ?” I have often wondered who started thatobnoxious statement and why did it stick with us for so long? To mewhen I even hear someone make that comment it’s like running yourfingernails over a chalk board. Who deemed this idiot all the powert

I think for me the funnest thing about writing a daily blog is actually finding newlabels to chit chat about.

The brand was established in 1996 and named for itsManhattan street address. Chic and modern designs in the most luxuriousfabrics define the label. Edward Wilkerson is the creative directorfor
