A few weeks ago I was approached by THREAD on Grandview, a specialty boutique located right here in our great city. They ask me to choose a week of ensembles and model them too! What fun!
So here's day #1. Check back each day for the rest of the week for the full feature set. xoxo THREAD!

New on our CHIC LIST: Margherita --
http://fashionrooftop.com/accessories.htm
With her degree in Accessory Design from Italy's Domus Academy and Bachelor in Graphic Design at American University in Beirut, Margherita (Ghita) Abi-Hanna launched her own line of leather accessories and jewelry. Her self-named brand Margherita strives to create unique, bold and architectural designs, for the most part carefully hand-crafted by Lebanese artisans.
Wondering where I've been?
No I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. I was in NYC for my friend Alexis Wilson's book signing for 'Not So Black and White' at The James Hotel. Truly a grand event attended by actress Tamara Tunie and Blair Underwood among many other stars from Broadway and the arts. I had a blast!
My photo diary from my travels.
Great fun, great friends, great food!

Yesterday I got to spend some quality time with a friend who also just happens to design some pretty chic clothes. Genoveva Christoff first caught my eye 2 years ago when I was writing an article on her. I stopped mid-writing to contact her and she ended up making me a custom piece.
Genoveva first showed in CMH Fashion Week's Finale Show, then was hand picked by Barney's Simon Doonan to show in NY at Lincoln Center's Diet Pepsi Style Studio show in 2012.
So proud of you my friend!

Hello,
We have recently started a boutique downtown Vancouver, selling Italian (Florentine to be exact) leather. The brand we supply is named I Medici, a company that has been in the industry since 1952 and is a solid name in the leather industry in Tuscany.
I Medici
The main characteristic of I Medici leather is that the the leather is hand made and tanned with vegetable tannin. Besides being eco-friendly, this makes the leather last longer and in fact look better the older it gets! You can wipe

Ask the designer behind Tohni Bekka and she'll show you the answer.
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting TB's designer. She's a graduate of Columbus College of Art & Design and as opposed to designing a clothing line, ventured out into the world of bag design. Good choice! I'm kind of enamored with this functional classic.

It's been called "Lively. Radiant. Lush… A color of elegance and beauty that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony." [Quote: Pantone] Taking a cue from the glimmering, magical city of Oz, emerald is being heralded by Pantone as the Color of the Year 2013.
With it's rich vibrance, emerald is a brilliant shade of green that echoes the first awakenings of spring. Now that we're moving out of the darkness of winter into the bright sunshine-filled days of spring, it's a great time to
When you are going to a festival every one knows just how important it is to not only have a bag which is practical and will store all your important things safely, but also one that is fashion ready and looks fantastic! Going to a festival is an exciting thing, so it shouldn’t be ruined by losing something important such as your bank card or your phone from a bag that is just not festival suitable.
When looking for the perfect festival bag it is good to search safety first. If it has a secure l

Yep. Tomorrow is Election Day. First let me say, regardless of which candidate you prefer, VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! Its one of the most important things you can do. Remember 2004? 537 was the number of votes that decided the election, so yes, your voice does count.
Moving on....we all know that Michelle Obama is a fashion icon. She's proven that over the last 4 years. But I have to say, Ann Romney is holding her own as well. Here, some of my faves from both ladies in 2012 (and one prior ;-)
