With that said, I have been asked to do my take on how to correctly execute colorblocking styles.
The simple answer is: if nature could do it, so could you. The more complicated answer -- well, the method that requires you to do a little more thinking -- is to attempt to match/coordinate colors using the color wheel (which I will discuss i
This 2 piece ensemble, top by Sharagano made in France top and black long formal skirt by Laundry by Shelli Segal, really does look red carpet worthy. I have to be honest with you I know very little about Sharagano other than they are very reasonably prices pieces and made in France but this piece if you didn’t know better could have been designed by Thierry Mugler. Shame on me for not taking enough photos of the top but there is ruching on both sides of the sleeves and it’s gorgeous. The
My neighbor is in the film industry and not to long ago she had just returned from a shoot in LA and she told me that I would be all the rage out there. Not because of my good looks or charming personality but because of doubletake. She told me that people in Chicago, LA and NYC eat this green movement of shopping UP… She told me “Daniel you’re ahead of the curve.” I love being ahead of the curve it beats being on the curb! Speaking of having vision I’m a huge fan of Norma Kamali so check
You know the thing I love the most about thrift store shopping other than the obvious fact that its the greenest form of shopping there is but because you get very STYLISH pieces. I mean really and truly look at this posting and tell me otherwise. The 2 tops are by Alice + Trixie & Michael Kors and both are sassy. Vibrant patterns & effortless, chic silhouettes infused with boho-glamour are the essence of Alice + Trixie. Each season designer & globetrotter Angela Taylor George delivers a fre
Someone please call 911 because with this super power posting I’m going to need all the additional help I can muster. I mean this is action packed in this posting we have Anna Sui, Vince, Max Mara & Philippe Adec does life get any sweeter than this? Lets roll…. I found this brand new Anna Sui bedazzled and bejeweled burgundy top and I love me some Anna Sui…LOVE HER…. within minutes of finding a brand new Anna Sui top I found this gray Vince top. Vince was born in Los Angeles and is quickly be
There are 2 things I can live without: cheap clothes & FUR… I am going to be brutally honest right here, I spend hours everyday inside thrift stores, clothing liquidation stores, estate sales, etc looking for luxury and I can’t tell you just how many times during the day I see brands like Miley Cyrus, Daisy Fuentes, Kathy Lee Gifford and some many more I can’t count. I don’t know why everyone seems to think they can design what they are indeed doing is being wasteful. I see tons of their i
Pretend you’re watching a sci-fi movie and they are aiming their laser beams right at you and firing 1 round after the other, well that’s kinda what’s happening with this posting. I’ve given you the 1-2 blast and it starts right at the top. I found these 2 gorgeous tops really within minutes of each other inside the thrift store. First I collected this Vertigo Paris blouse, which I totally LOVE, then I spotted this brown silk camisole by Theory. Love Theory because to me their designs are
This posting will have you all drooling all over the floor because I know I’ve already had to wipe up once already… I have always been a fan of the Italian brand Zanella but when I saw this label which said Zanella Platinum my heart started to beat with rapid fire. Sure enough when I pulled the front jacket open I saw the label inside that said the fabric was made in Italy by Loro Piana…. Loro Piana is the Rolls Royce of the fabric industry, its the highest bar there is. This raspberry color
A wrap top is a must have for 2011 and beyond! Wrap tops can totally elevate any piece just look at this posting. I have put this Michael Stars wrap top with a pair of dressy Trina Turk slacks and these casual sporty Lilly Pulitzer slacks. Dressy & casual these slacks are and yet with this one simple chic wrap top you get 2 very different looks. All 3 items were just hanging out within the same thrift store waiting for me to rescue them. Think green & outside the box and shop at your local
I’m sure there was a puddle when I found the very first Rifat Ozbek item I’ve ever found inside a thrift store. I literally had to do a doubletake when I saw this label because finding this label in Atlanta is just not rare but almost extinct. For more than 20 years, fashion designer Rifat Ozbek has been proving that Turkish design can still make its mark in the rarefied world of haute couture. Born in Istanbul Turkey and studied in London. In 1984 he launched his company and there were 2 l

Don’t have to wear leather all over your body like Gene Simmon just to be a Rock Star. We can still look like a rock star with black leather- if you know the trick. The one key to remember when wear this black leather piece is to ALWAYS wear it with basic colours. If you wear leather pants, wear it with basic black blazer or shirt. If u wear leather blazer like Justin does, wear with basic (not shiny) black jeans. But if insist to add pop colour, you can wear with blue jeans shirt,
Little did I know that when I left for the thrift stores I would get a complete Johnny Cash black on black ensemble and did I mention that its a very STYLISH one?From top to bottom this outfit is sassy enough to make quite theentrance into any fine establishment. I’ll start from the top and workmy way down to the bottom, first is this gorgeous silk Theory blouse inpristine condition. Theory wasfounded in 1997 on the principle that men and women want to feelcomfortable and sexy in modern clothing

This ensemble came out of not 1, not 2 but 3 thrift stores all on the same day and when I look atthis classy outfit I didn’t mind. Sometimes I have to hit severalthrift stores to get even just one outstanding piece and other times itslike it rains down on me. Its all about timing that’s one thing I knowfor sure about thrifting. I found this white cotton James Perse cottontop in absolutely pristine condition, in fact I would swear it’s brandnew. I tell all my clients if they don’t already own Jam
