I can honestly tell you this… I have witnessed countless women clients of mine try on any Vivienne Tam item and watch them foam at the mouth with excitement. Foam might notbe the correct word but you get my drift ….salivate, drool, slobber,dribble you name it because they all do it when they try on VivienneTam. Vivienne Tam is known for creating beautiful clothes that appealto all ages, ethnicities and income levels. Her vision is global – chicand this designer knows how to please. This red / bl

I have never heard of this brand LBK Loubarok before but that didn’t stop me from grabbing this item.These olive capri pants are made in France by a company I had a hardtime Googling. I’m an excellent researcher, it was my claim to famewhen I was young, and the information I’m able to get from this brand islimited. When you Google the name several links take you to sites thatare selling LBK Loubarok items and judging from those sites this isn’t ainexpensive brand. I’ve seen dresses sell for $740

Every now and then I get sideswiped by labels I commonly just don’t find while thrifting such asBlumarine. These black linen with spandex and jeweled bottoms Blumarineslacks are indeed a very rare occurrence esp. when they are in pristinecondition. Anna Molinari is the creative director for this brand andcreates clothes that are considered to be true cult items. Blumarine isone of Milan’s last holdouts for women who demand full on good timedressing with a cheerful disregard for polite moderation

I think if you’re going to have a suit you might as well make it a sexy shiny one. I truly wishyou could see the shine in this 2 piece pantsuit by Laundryby Shelli Segal because when I say it’s shines it truly sparkleselegantly in the light. This little black suit is made with rayon andspandex with just the right amount of silver sparkle. Underneath I putthis silk pink Bebecamisole to really give it a zinger… I could whip my client into thisensemble so fast and furiously that her head would come

Ever time you turn on to watch the news or read the newspaper everyone is talking about the ‘newnormal’ times we are all living in. I totally get it, I understandthat people are having a hard & stressful time right now, it seemslike that’s the topic of everyone’s conversation these days andrightfully so. What I try to do daily with my blog is teach and showpeople how to save a dime or buck when it comes to buying clothes. Forme I believe it all comes down to making a choice, do we want to marchi

This simple chic casual ensemble is classic from top to bottom and did I tell you that the topwas brand new? Yes brand new and straight out of the thrift store and Ilove when that happens to me. Sometimes left over inventory thatdidn’t sell in high end department stores gets shipped back to thevender but most times liquidation companies comes in and buy everythingup therefore you’ll see tags from TJMaxx, Marshalls or Ross on theclothing in thrift stores. In this case this Cynthia Steffe black to

When I first spotted this silk top by BCBG I not only LOVED the abstract pattern but LOVED thesexiness of the cut. I think the draping off the shoulder is very sexyand modern. There really is a good reason why Bloomingdales and Sakscarries this brand and I believe it’s because BCBGprovides their customer with a little sexy fantasy and who doesn’t wantthat???? Once I scored this sexy silk top I knew I needed a reallyglam bottom and it didn’t take me long to find these black slacks byTrina Turk. I

I come across Kors quite regularly out shopping but Carmen Marc Valvo not so often. I grabbed this Michael Kors sweater because of I lovethe casual feel of this and also because I really like that the sweaterwas short sleeved with the wide collar and big 3 buttons. Short sleevesweater to me are so much better, they’re not so cumbersome when youthrow over a jacket. I grabbed these black linen Carmen Marc Valvoslacks because you don’t find this label just any old day whilethrifting. Valvo’s profes

This is my first time that I blog about the brand Vince so you know I’m a little moist andthen throw in Alberta Ferretti and honey I’m drowning… First let mebegin with Vince and tell you thatthis brand is best known as a line of luxe staples popular withcelebrities such as Kate Hudson and Renee Zellweger. “We like to thinkour customer wears our cashmere sweaters while sitting in first classwith her Hermes bag,” says Christopher LaPolice with Rea Laccone who areVince’s founders.

It isn’t every day I stumble upon Robert Rodriguez but when I do I attack him ferociously. Ijust couldn’t get over the fact that this jacket appears to be new andin pristine condition let alone the label. Several things influencedthe life of Robert Rodriguezbut it was a Christian Dior book his mother gave him that altered hisfuture. In 2003 his brand was launched and the collection wassophisticated, feminine, sexy and contemporary for STYLE consciencewomen of all ages. This can also be said abou

It’s not so much about why the sky is blue but how good you look when your looking up at the sky..Wouldn’t you have to agree with me on that one? I mean if your verylast day on this planet was right now and you were looking up at thatgorgeous Tiffany blue sky what are you going to be wearing? I justhope for your sake it’s something utterly STYLISH. I’m so over flipflops and sweatpants and who really wants to see a middle aged man orwoman wearing a tee with crazy ass graphics on it? It’s time myd

When I was flipping through the jacket section in the thrift store the first thing my eyes rested onwas the tag by the collar that said ‘made in Italy’ and then when Iopened the jacket up to see the label I think I might have brieflypassed out. The label inside said Byblos and my heart sank a bit bringback warm memories of the 80′s when I was living in Dallas. Bybloslike Romeo Gigli were really big in the early 80′s and I couldn’tafford their wears then and no matter how many countless trips to

It’s interesting how you can walk inside a thrift store and walk out with 3 skirts from 3 very well known labels and not go broke doing so. The first skirt I scored was this black / white floral cotton skirt by Lafayette 148 New York and this skirt can go either way, it can be so comfortablecasual or so sassy sophisticated. Second skirt is the the greenabstract flower print by Cynthia Steffe.The print on this skirt looks like it came from vintage wallpaper whichI think is so glam but glam is Cyn
