Years of Living DANGEROUSLY will air on Showtime April 13th at 10pm/ET and you bet I will be watching.  Nobody on this planet is going to be untouched by the impacts of climate change.  These 21st century disasters such as killer heat waves in Europe & Australia, wildfires in the USA, droughts in Australia and deadly flooding in Thailand & Pakistan highlight how vulnerable humanity is to extreme weather.  We assume that we will always be able to get water out of our faucets but that’s not realit

What better accessory than a scarf especially a Gucci & Dior one???  Scarves are always the best accessories and yet I hardly ever see women wearing them today.  Back in the day you would always see the likes of Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn & Elizabeth Taylor wearing scarves.   I think scarves are great additions to any ensemble.  These are all vintage scarves and all are gorgeous in design especially the modern Dior one…  I say ladies bring back wearing hats & scarves even if it’s to take out

The first home run was finding this gorgeous black Guy Laroche Collection dress and the other touch down was finding this x-large YSL shawl / scarf…  I don’t know where to even begin with this blog post because these 2 labels are iconic French brands that have been around for some time and their designs seem to stand the test of time.  This classic sleeveless LBD by Guy Laroche is so simple and chic, just look at the layers above the shoulders.  Simple design yet effective.  The x-large YSL shaw

Finding a vintage James Galanos piece in pristine condition is equivalent to winning the lottery I kid you not.  You just don’t find a Galanos item everyday.  He started his fashion house, based in Los Angeles, in 1951 after 9 years of studying and working in the fashion industry.  Galanos became known for his work in chiffon; evening wear was a specialty.  He also designed elegant suits and dresses for day.  James Galanos is considered to be one of the great fashion designers of the 20th cent

Who in their right mind doesn’t love finding Badgley Mischka second hand?  I have to say it’s always a joyful moment when you see this label.  In 1988, Mark Badgley and James Mischka, two Parsons grads, borrowed some money from their families to realize their vision of glamorous, Old Hollywood style gowns.  Today actresses walking the red carpet are wearing Badgley Mischka….  I loved finding this strapless sequin black cocktail dress that has a built in corset, so the “girls” stand at full atten

I got so incredibly lucky because not only did I find 2 matching identical dresses but the real story is they had never been worn.  Now is that lucky or is that lucky???  I have from the get go loved Bill Blass so I would be foolish to walk away from these 2 UltraSuede dresses with belts and pockets in pristine condition.  Blassport was introduced in 1972 just shortly after the world discovered the UltraSuede fabric.  The list of powerful women that LOVED Bill Blass is endless; The Duke of Winds
