The word of the day is color!  All this ensemble needs is a pair of Piazza Sempione black capri pants and off to the races you go.  This posting is all about not being afraid of color as you can clearly see but to embrace it and be smart on how you arrange it.  Grant it to much color on anyone just makes them look silly but the right amount with a basic anchor color like black, gray or white is perfection on overload.  This plum color Nicole Miller tube top has 101 uses and every woman should

Being involved in the green movement is the neccesary step we all must take to help this planet out so you know I’m taking these steps by leaps and bounds.  I mean just look at this posting and check out all these gorgeous clothes that came out from a thrift store and tell me that this isn’t significant…  I go out everyday and hunt for luxury clothes that are at the last stop before a landfill and rescue them and then pass it on to my clients.  Call me “Superman” if you’re nasty or just ecologi

Rene Lezard & Debbie Shuchat are 2 brands that are the epitome of STYLE and speaking of STYLE I’m still blown away by a recent article in The Huffington Post about a 98 STYLISH woman named Rose.   Rose was over the top chic in the best way possible and she had some lifeSTYLE secrets and I’ll share a few with them.  “Find your perfect perfume; people will remember you by your scent, belts & beads Rose believes that a belt or unique strand of beads can really make an outfit and here is my favorite

Nowhere on this pink halter top by Topshop does it say designed by Kate Moss but in my opinion it sure does look like something she would have created for this store.  It isn’t everyday you see an item from Topshop in a thrift store but when it does show up you simply grab it, run to the counter to pay and get the hell out of Dodge…  I love putting this halter top with a black Norma Kamali palm tree printed skirt.   This is a cute and simple look with the Topshop halter and the Norma Kamali ski

OMG this posting is like going to Ben & Jerry’s ice creamery and not knowing where to start..  Both of these brands are fabuloso on so many levels but I have to just jump in and start my blabbing …I mean blogging…  Mark Badgley & James Mischka have been hailed by Vogue as 1 of the “top 10 American Designers” and as the darlings of the Hollywood set.  The design due has made their mark over the past 2 decades with glamorous, STYLISH and wearable evening wear and accessories.  Since joining force

Some lady had to help me scoop up my jaw because it was on the floor after I saw the label on the black skirt….Celine… believe me it isn’t everyday that I run across this luxurious French brand inside a thrift store…  Just like the top made by Walking Art from Australia, you don’t find that brand everyday, every week or month for that matter.  Let me start with the top by Walking Art which is a company from Australia that utilizes famous artist prints and applies them to women’s clothing.    Th

Silk & cotton are 2 fabrics that without we probably would just walk around naked, I know that sounds good to some people….  This posting I put together Helen Wang silk sleeveless top and this MAG by Magaschoni cotton pullover all within the same color palette.  Lets start with Helen Wang who was born in Shanghai and raised in London and discovered her flair for fashion at the tender age of 13.  Helen knew then that fashion was her calling and attended the Parson’s School of Design.  Shortly af

Sometimes all we need is an option and I’m a firm believer in having as many of those as possible, just ask anyone of my friends, so this posting offers 2 tops with 1 bottom…  The 1st top is by 7 for All Mankind and you have to check out the second photo of this pink top so you can see how the backside was designed.  Very STYLISH indeed.  The 2nd top is by Rebecca Taylor and this little number is Sexy with a capital S.  So far what is there not to love about these 2 tops?  7 for all Mankind a

I swear I think this top should be called Dr. Feelgood because just looking at it makes me feel good.  Feelgood Paris is just a basic modern French label that caters to women that want to enter a room in STYLE.  What better STYLE of a skirt than Trina Turk to pair this top to?  If you didn’t know better you would swear I totally rigged this ensemble but I swear to you that both items came out from the Goodwill and within minutes of each other.  If I’m lying may a 1000 bolts of lightening strik

This posting has a black Ella Moss dress, Michael Stars tee & Jill Stuart denim jacket and I put the Jill Stuart jacket over the Ella Moss which I think looks smokin’ hot.  Ella Moss uses the softest cotton fabric and every time I find a piece I always take it and run it against my face…..so soft…  I love that about Ella Moss and James Perse because they both use the softest cotton and today it’s all about comfort…. I want to talk more about Jill Stuart because she was born into the world of fa

Runway, without the Runway

Forget the monotonous routine of watching models rock the catwalk; companies like Ossimori, based in Florence, Italy, are making waves in the fashion world overlapping the creative worlds of fashion and art. Ossimori's Das Gift line has found an interesting way to combine installation art exhibits and high fashion shows into one truly unique and mesmerizing experience that you won't forget.

 

The "Garden of Eden" event in August of 2010 introduced Ossimori to the world. The company used a gallery

2 out of 3 items from this posting are brand new don’t you just love that?  Every time I find a brand new item in a thrift store I get a little verklempt.  I have a been a serial thrifter for over 28 years now and I’ve seen some amazing things inside thrift stores along my journey and I’ve got to say each time I see a designer piece with tags dangling in the wind I choke up…  It’s like finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, I always like to think it’s my reward for all my hard work.

HALSTON.....

I remember as a young man in high school in south Texas wearing Halston cologne in the 70′s and reading all the magazines that showed Halston, Andy Warhol, Bianca Jagger, DVF, Liza Minnelli, Liz Taylor and so many others partying at Studio 54.  You have no idea how much I wanted to be there and be a part of that history.  After rising in the fashion world in the 60′s as a milliner for Bergdorf Goodman (and famously Jacqueline Kennedy), Roy Halston Frowick launched his eponymous womenswear label

I LOVE - LOVE - LOOOOVVEEEEE finding agnes b inside a thrift store…This long sleeve black agnes b cotton & silk top would look STYLISH with just about anything and yes that means even a paper bag or tow sack.  Agnes Trouble – known simply as agnes b in the fashion world has quickly grown her chic, everyday designs into an international brand, despite the label’s lack of advertising.  agnes b has maintained many of the same silhouettes that it introduced in the 70′s… agnes b has now become The A

This ensemble is already sexy on its own but throw in the fact that I pillaged them both from the same thrift store it now become delicious!  When my hands touched the DVF sexy blouse I started to hyperventilate but then when I found the Jil Sander skirt right there on the spot I could have laid the golden egg!  I mean just how friggen lucky was I???  Together here are 2 of my favorite brands united to produce 1 enticing outfit..  What this outfit needs is a vintage 60′s Pucci velvet Jana Bag f

We always remember our first.  The first date, kiss, ‘first time’, STD,  first hangover or concert – we always remember our first time.  I will never forget the first time I found a Cartier item, it was a briefcase or when I found a  Hermes scarf.  I remember those items and where I found them clearly as the day is long or RuPaul is tall.  Well yesterday I had 2 cherries popped which I will always remember.  My day started off by getting my very first facial at Entebello,  which was a gratifyin
