When I first spotted this silk top by BCBG I not only LOVED the abstract pattern but LOVED thesexiness of the cut. I think the draping off the shoulder is very sexyand modern. There really is a good reason why Bloomingdales and Sakscarries this brand and I believe it’s because BCBGprovides their customer with a little sexy fantasy and who doesn’t wantthat???? Once I scored this sexy silk top I knew I needed a reallyglam bottom and it didn’t take me long to find these black slacks byTrina Turk. I

I come across Kors quite regularly out shopping but Carmen Marc Valvo not so often. I grabbed this Michael Kors sweater because of I lovethe casual feel of this and also because I really like that the sweaterwas short sleeved with the wide collar and big 3 buttons. Short sleevesweater to me are so much better, they’re not so cumbersome when youthrow over a jacket. I grabbed these black linen Carmen Marc Valvoslacks because you don’t find this label just any old day whilethrifting. Valvo’s profes

I think if you’re going to have a suit you might as well make it a sexy shiny one. I truly wishyou could see the shine in this 2 piece pantsuit by Laundryby Shelli Segal because when I say it’s shines it truly sparkleselegantly in the light. This little black suit is made with rayon andspandex with just the right amount of silver sparkle. Underneath I putthis silk pink Bebecamisole to really give it a zinger… I could whip my client into thisensemble so fast and furiously that her head would come

When I was flipping through the jacket section in the thrift store the first thing my eyes rested onwas the tag by the collar that said ‘made in Italy’ and then when Iopened the jacket up to see the label I think I might have brieflypassed out. The label inside said Byblos and my heart sank a bit bringback warm memories of the 80′s when I was living in Dallas. Bybloslike Romeo Gigli were really big in the early 80′s and I couldn’tafford their wears then and no matter how many countless trips to

It isn’t every day I stumble upon Robert Rodriguez but when I do I attack him ferociously. Ijust couldn’t get over the fact that this jacket appears to be new andin pristine condition let alone the label. Several things influencedthe life of Robert Rodriguezbut it was a Christian Dior book his mother gave him that altered hisfuture. In 2003 his brand was launched and the collection wassophisticated, feminine, sexy and contemporary for STYLE consciencewomen of all ages. This can also be said abou

This simple chic casual ensemble is classic from top to bottom and did I tell you that the topwas brand new? Yes brand new and straight out of the thrift store and Ilove when that happens to me. Sometimes left over inventory thatdidn’t sell in high end department stores gets shipped back to thevender but most times liquidation companies comes in and buy everythingup therefore you’ll see tags from TJMaxx, Marshalls or Ross on theclothing in thrift stores. In this case this Cynthia Steffe black to

It’s not so much about why the sky is blue but how good you look when your looking up at the sky..Wouldn’t you have to agree with me on that one? I mean if your verylast day on this planet was right now and you were looking up at thatgorgeous Tiffany blue sky what are you going to be wearing? I justhope for your sake it’s something utterly STYLISH. I’m so over flipflops and sweatpants and who really wants to see a middle aged man orwoman wearing a tee with crazy ass graphics on it? It’s time myd

It’s interesting how you can walk inside a thrift store and walk out with 3 skirts from 3 very well known labels and not go broke doing so. The first skirt I scored was this black / white floral cotton skirt by Lafayette 148 New York and this skirt can go either way, it can be so comfortablecasual or so sassy sophisticated. Second skirt is the the greenabstract flower print by Cynthia Steffe.The print on this skirt looks like it came from vintage wallpaper whichI think is so glam but glam is Cyn

A tube top is what a woman should always have in her wardrobe – always…. They are perfectfor summer and great for fall because you can just throw over a nicesleek jacket in the fall and go kick your heels up. This bright shadeof green tube top by Trina Turkhas 101 uses and that’s what makes a tube top so practical. You canalways wear a tube underneath a sheer blouse and I think that’s so supersexy and again that’s part of the 101 uses… We really could go onall day about how to wear a tube top bu

These labels are 2 of my favorite English brands Jaeger and Burberry and what a treat it was tofind them both waiting for me inside the same thrift store. I firstpulled this fire engine red Jaeger top and said to myself “self I’mloving this English brand” and then self replied “that’s because you’rea tag hag!”. I just shook my head and continued shopping. Yes I loveJaeger and these days, betweenits owner British fashion maestro Harold Tillman CBE (who also ownsAquascutum) and chief executive sha

Because it’s time we all give up dressing lazy altogether and start looking fabulous again I wantedto blog about 2 of my favorite brands: Max Mara & Jil Sander.First let me tell you about this gorgeous khaki Max Marablouse with pockets and wide stitching. This top would lookspectacular with just about anything because the first thing you’llnotice is the construction and fabric of this piece and both are firstrate. Max Mara, an upscale luxury Italian women’s fashion house, ismost famous today for

This is the very first piece from Tibi I have scored from thrifting and I think it’s a sleek one. Whatmakes writing a daily blog so much fun for me is times like this when Ihave found my first item by this brand that is carried in NeimanMarcus and Saks Fifth Avenue and gets to talk about it. Tibiis the brainchild of Amy Smilovic who grew up on a small island off thecoast of Geogia and in 1997 moved to Hong Kong with her husband. Sheis crazy for prints and color in unexpected combinations, she lo

This is my second Miss Sixty item I have found within a few weeks of each other and this black cottontop with its leather trim collar brings the house down. The other Miss Sixtyitem I found were silver denim pants that would look amazing with thisblack top as well but that’s a whole other posting…I love finding MissSixty, the brand is made in Italy so you can easily see the Italianinfluences in there creations. Case in point this black cotton top withleather trim, it’s on fire hot… The other top

It isn’t everyday I see a dress that knocks me off my pedestal like the way thissexy lace dress did. This stretchy lace dress is by Naf Naf Paris andit shouts “La Dolce Vita” which is Italian for “The Sweet Life” and notFrench but you get my drift….France – Italy they are neighbors…. In afantasy world between realism and wonderful, Naf Naf revives the magicand adventure to deliver us a contemporary perspective betweenfemininity enchanting and romantic fantasy… Naf Nafis one of France’s top ten w

Not only is this ensemble juicy with design but it’s just your classic casual all American look. The red cotton top is by Juicy Couture and there is so much detail in this top it’s really hard focus, I meanwill you click on the detail photo and look at the backside of this topand see the elastic waistband stitching…. It’s these minute details thatelevated this label into the stratosphere. Red is such a passionatecolor and I love it when it’s used in fashion and hate it when they useit for car co

These slacks by Rene Lezard are the firsts for me by this label and since they are madeof silk and cotton I think I did myself proud.
