8843026471?profile=original
So many times I heard something like this: "I have no sense of style..if it had been, I could become cool fashion designer/illustrator/make-up artist..". It is fair to everyone else "if".
if  I had enough free time
if  I had enough money
if  I had talant and luck
forget about it.

It is absolutely possible to develop sense of style and to be honest, it's possible to achieve almost everything you want, except travel in outer space may be.
I do not want to sound like hundreds of books on motivation, bu

Trend Alert: How To Do Colorblocking?

You ever looked at someone and asked "how the heck did they come up with those two colors together?" Well, most of the time, there is a method to their madness.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
