My first blog post in 2014 to review my exceptional festive experience (Part 1) with Fashion Fellowship in which a group of christians working in fashion got together in fellowship to glorify God's love and grace, as we approached the beginning of the new year NOW up on La Mode by GV Miao fashion blog:

No indulgent partying; no expensive luxury feast, all we had was a simple down-to-earth picnic themed as “The Sound of Music.” Click http://la-mode-by.gvmiao.com/2014/01/review-of-my-exceptional-

 I swear in my last lifetime I must have been Italian because I have always been so in awe of Italy.  This entire posting is about 3 fabulous pieces that all have 1 thing in common: Italy.  All 3 pieces are made in Italy and you know I’m loving my Italians!  I found this orange linen Sergio Pellari top that is a must have for anyones wardrobe.  This top looks great with those skinny jeans you have hanging in your closet… Pellari’s production focuses on hand crafted tailored looks that would

Listen I’m not a woman but if I were I would want my life to be simple chic.  I like things to be a breeze and that’s this entire posting like this brand new silk Bebe reversible camisole that looks so damn hot with either the Armani or Escada jacket.  Just wear the camisole one way with either jacket and then the next time turn it inside out. …BAM it’s that easy.  I think every woman and man wants their mornings to be as simple as an afternoon cocktail.  This reversible silk Bebe top is so gorg

I swear you could be 19 or 99 years old and still shake it up with this ensemble because true classic STYLE never goes out of STYLE and is ageless.  With the right clutch and heels the woman wearing this outfit could make a deafening statement and not even have to open her mouth doing so.  I love that…  This top is simple and stretchy and I mean stretchy which is fabulous especially with the gold tread running through it.  A little sparkle never hurt anyone now did it?  Before I forget to menti

When I found this white striped blouse by Magaschoni with a spot on the front did you think that would deter me from snatching it???   Wrong….  There isn’t one stain that Carbona can’t get out and this light coffee stain was out in an instant, just as soon as I dipped it into the Carbona it was out of there.  Next time you are grocery shopping walk down the cleaning aisle and grab a couple of these bottles because I will swear on my big fat cats Jenny’s life that this product works.  I am a huge

I don’t think I have seen a sexier dress than this burgundy velvet gown by Tadashi … well at least not today… This velvet gown tears it up, I mean it is so sexy and chic with the sheer netting sides and backside… this gown is red carpet worthy….Tadashi Shoji was born in Japen and went to Los Angeles Trade Technical School.  There he discovered his passion for fashion design and got the opportunity to help design costumes for music stars such as Elton John, Stevie Wonder & Neil Diamond.  He star

Taking showers in under 5 minutes & turning off your water faucet while brushing your teeth or shaving is what I consider STYLISH and of course anything designed by Sonia Rykiel!  This is my second item I found inside a thrift store, the first was a 2 piece pink velvet top with skirt but had mold all over it and stunk like crazy so I had to pass on it and you should have seen me, it was the longest goodbye in recorded history…  I waited like the good thrifter I am and the GODS provided me anoth

This posting shows how 2 different color tops deliver 1 powerful punch.  The first top is this fuchsia sexy Armani Exchange top and this top delivered a heavy duty punch…. A/X is accessible Armani, inspired by street-chic culture and created by Italian designer and entrepreneur Giorgio Armani and I swear that man never sleeps… The second top is the orange Ella Moss top that delivered a 1-2 punch that is until we introduce both tops to this black nylon Giorgio Armani jacket and then it delivered

Shopping for STYLE doesn’t have to a chore in fact its just the opposite,  shopping for STYLE is your duty!  If I haven’t said this enough in my blog I’ll start saying it “life is short so damn it pay attention!”  Just look at all 3 items on this posting and gawk at just how simple chic each item is.  The first item I found was this gorgeous silk Bebe camisole that reminded me of aMark Rothko painting – this top is like a piece of artwork.  Second top is this black lace by Alexia Admor and this

Every woman wants to look and feel like she is the only thing on the planet and let me tell you if you wore either dress that’s exactly how you would feel… All eyes would be on you and you alone now I don’t know how you feel about that but I say take it and run.  This black velvet with beading Carmen Marc Valvo is so stunningly beautiful it hurts to look at it.  I’m not kidding you this is so jaw-droppingly gorgeous and again who doesn’t want to look that STYLISH?  Can’t think of a soul….  The o

There isn’t anything better than cranking up the wow factor now is there?  Just check out this gorgeous black / white silk long sleeve dress by Hale Bob and tell me it doesn’t have the wow factor…  Hale Bob dresses women in feminine, chic clothing and this silk dress is just one of their finest examples.  Known for its prints, bright colors, rich silks and luscious velvets, Hale Bob offers helps women shine as brightly as the comet for which the brand is named!  “The woman who wears Hale Bob is

Both of these STYLISH tops look amazing with this green cotton Womyn skirt so lets break it all down…  The first blouse is by Allen B by Allen Schwartz and it’s layered construction makes this top extremely sassy.  I know it screams out spring but that’s ok with me because you could wear this sexy top even in the death of winter simply by wearing your finest Piazza Sempione jacket.  The second top is by Alberto Makali and this abstract top would have retailed for $152 – $275 which is a very long

Love Aquascutum,  LOVE this brand and yes it’s a men’s button up shirt but I don’t give a rats @#% if I’m putting this men’s shirt with these Trina Turk black women’s slacks for this posting..  Women have been wearing men’s clothing for decades and who am I to try to stop them?  I think if something looks a great as this brown Aquascutum shirt then by all means wear it, grant it I’m keeping this Aquascutum shirt for me!  I am generous enough to want to blog about my find.  Aquascutum was establ

I LOVE finding Poleci….LOVE it…  This label is so over the top yummy I can’t help myself each time I find one of their brilliant creations.  Just look at this gold lace top with rhinestones for that extra zinger and tell me this design team made up of Janice Levin-Krok & Jeffrey Chow can’t kick some serious fashion butt.  This top is like a cat on a hot tin roof.  I found these classic Max Mara wool slacks that complement this gold lace top by Poleci beautifully.  Simple chic is what this ensem

This black lace Escada skirt with the cobalt blue lining has to be 1 of the most beautiful skirts I have ever seen by Escada.  My mouth just dropped when I scored this skirt because immediately I saw the beauty in the details and construction.  Scottish designer Jonathan Saunders brings a breath of fresh air to this fashion house.  Saunders, who in 2007 was nominated by Elle Designer of the Year, will present a 20 piece collection as part of the label’s Resort Line in London & Paris next June 2

At first glance I thought this BCBG knit dress just might be a Missoni dress but not for now.  I’m sure later I will find that vintage Missoni dress but for now this BCBG knit dress will work just fine.  I love the way this dress was designed, so modern and contemporary.   I grabbed this BCBG dress, stuffed it inside my basket and continued to hunt… Moments later I spotted this velvet sassy cocktail dress by Kay Unger, eyed it up-down-sideways and stuffed it inside my basket next to the BCBG kn

These 2 dresses crank up the STYLE volume so loud I can hardly hear myself dream.  I love this simple yellow cotton Cynthia Steffe dress and I know it makes you think of summer which feels like a long way from now but soon it will peek its head around the corner and when it does you can arm yourself in this yellow sassy dress… The Oscar de la Renta flower pattern dress makes me also think of summer and how excited I’ll be when my Zenias pop up from Mother Earth… What can I say summer has always

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
