When I had both of these dresses firmly in my clutch I realized that both of thesecolors are so fall harvest colors.  The first dress I gobbled up wasthis brown rayon & spandex dress by Vertigo Paris. I love the color combination of this brown dress with its golden trim,it makes me want to drink a cappuccino and listen to Malcolm McLaren Paris cd ( highly recommend clicking the Paris link).  The second dress is the orange color by Michael Korsand since you already know by now that orange is my

WHAM is the word I’m using to describe both of these items because both of them were brand new….WHAMand it feels so good…. I love finding brand new items in a thriftstore, love it…its what I live for daily and in this case just look atthese labels…I found this brand new red silk top by Miguelina,still with tags, and was quite pleased.  It can be said that an aprofound sense of STYLE has always been innate in Miguelina Gambaccini. In 1997 when the designer first launched her collection of chic a

Paisley never ever goes out of STYLE in fact it’s been in vogue since it’s conception.  Paisley is adroplet shaped motif of Indian and Persian origin.  The pattern issometimes called “Persian pickles” by American traditionalist,especially quilt makers, or “Welsh pears” in Welsh textiles as far backas 1888.  Resembling a twisted teardrop, the kidney shaped paisley isPersian and Indian in origin, but its western name derives from thetown of Paisley in Scotland.  This sexy short sleeve Neiman Marc

This blog posting is exciting for me because this makes the second item I’ve found from BethBowley and just like the previous item before,  this silk skirt is sassyand sexy.  Before I get carried off in a tangent on Beth Bowley let me just say that I found the Theory silk polka dot blouse with elastic wrist bands first.  Leave it to Theoryto design something modern and classic such as this polka dot silkblouse…this item will NEVER go out of STYLE….Ok back to Beth.. BethBowley became a fashion d

Now these are some funky pants and yes I think they look like my grandma’s curtains,made with crewel fabric… Inside these slacks, that AREN’T lined, you seeall the loose thread from the embroidering so the woman that wearsthese slacks might want to strap on a pair of pantyhose.  Launched in2002, Alice + Oliviaby Stacey Bendet is a sophisticated, yet eclectic brand with a playfulsensibility, which epitomizes the personality and quirky style of itsfounder.  Obviously if you saw the interior of th

Listen I believe in Lady Luck because how else do you explain that in 1 Salvation Army I could collect this vintage Pringle of Scotland sweater and these brand new Helmut Lang wool slacks?  It’s unexplainable isn’t it?  Lady Luck was on my side and for that I’ll be eternally grateful.  When I laid my hands on this vintage red Pringle of Scotland sweater my mouth flew wide open as if it were a scene from Bewitched where Samantha stops time and freezes everyone….. Yes that was me…. Pringle of Scot

This ensemble is like one big explosion of luxury brands and high STYLE.   To begin with I found this Ann Ferriday bronze color lace top that ties with a pretty ribbon and for those of you that aren’t familiar with this brand do yourself a huge favor and learn this name.  I LOVE Ann Ferriday and I hope you enjoy her website as much as I do each time I go on it.  Ann Ferriday grew up in Canada then moved to London then Paris then Los Angeles…. get the picture???  This lovely designer is a world t

This entire ensemble from top to bottom and by bottom I’m referring to the shoes were new….  I love when I find new items when thrifting, you can’t get any higher than that, well not legally you can’t…. The first item I pulled out from the racks was this beaded DKNY dark gray sweater and everyone needs a beaded sweater esp a nice beaded sweater and leave it to Donna Karen for DKNY to design a highly polished one.  You can’t read or see Donna Karen’s name and not associate it with New York fashio

This makes the second item by Carolina Herrera I’ve found inside a thrift store and like the time before this one, it’s exhilarating to say the least.  “I love the idea of elegance and intricacy, but whether it’s in a piece of clothing or a fragrance, the intricacy must appear as simplicity,” says Carolina Herrera, the 2008 CFDA winner of the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award, of the aesthetic sense that has driven her for over 25 years as fashion designer.  Chic, sophisticated women all

This vintage pink leather skirt by Genny is the softest leather I’ve ever felt in my life and I just keep thinking to myself how lucky I am to have found this in the thrift store.  I have always been a huge fan of Genny and I remember it well from the my early Dallas days in the early 80′s.  This brand was EXPENSIVE… and I mean EXPENSIVE….. along the way I have gobbled up a few pieces from Genny but nothing as soft and elegant as this pink leather sexy as hell skirt.  Genny was founded in Italy

His romantic detailing is what makes Walter truly wearable from morning till evening, “my designs go from day to night without p

A blue / white ensemble is always a classic, just check out this outfit I collected from 1 thrift store, to see for yourself.

I love this LBD by Laundry by Shelli Segal, love that it’s a spaghetti string dress that is sheerat the bottom so it’s even sexier than normal. I know who wantsnormal?

Iwon’t name names here because I don’t think that’s very STYLISH to beginwith but these people that smack gum like crazy andhave jacked up hair with their fake tans are horrid dressers. No STYLEwhatsoever and it just makes me need someone to pass me a bucket.. Oksorry about the rant but I’m so OVER people hijacking the media intothinking they actual
