Oscar Recap

The big night came and now its over.  While Hollywood attended their fancy parties for a feel good time after all the excitement of the night, I was exhausted from the entire show and trying to keep up with my Oscar app.  Yes,  I know a little crazy but I wanted to have enough information for myself rather than reading the critics.  And yes, I’m sure some critics had a field day with their summation.  I on the other hand believe fair is fair and give credit where it is due.

As you know, the night

Oscar Mania

As I sat doing research for this piece, my mind was bombarded with color choices, fabric choices, accessory choices. Two thoughts constantly nagged like a bee buzzing from one flower to another: Truly, how do all those actresses and actors decide on who will be their designer? How do they make their final choice of the dress from all the other dresses?

The prestigious honor of obtaining the coveted Oscar goes to those selected few that become masters at their craft and are recognized on Oscar nig

BCBG, The Academy of Art, Max Azria and Tips

We came back from our 2011 Fashion Week bursting with excitement.  Simply said, the designers did impress.  The following is our little insight.

Sleek and chic are often used as buzz words. For this fall, they are anything but just buzz. When a designer can convey effortless simplicity in his or her design so that the clothing seems to float on the body even with a touch of geometrical structure, they have achieved sleek and chic in my book. These two words aptly describe all three of the shows K

Sunday's Lagniappe - Looking for Spring

Funny how the simplest things make us happy.  Take for example, today the sun came out, the snow has been melting and it was absolutely delicious to wear only a heavy sweater sans hat, scarf and gloves.  Yes, the weather has made me absolutely chipper and thinking of Spring with smiling cream and yellow daffodils, easter egg colored tulips and my favorite, orchid blossoms. Sigh.

For me, and I'm sure for most of you, Spring also means less clothing. No, I'm not talking of joining a nudist colony o

The Hunt for Warmth = the Right Coat

Here ends another cold week in the North East and now my mission has reached critical stage.  I have been on a mission to find the right coat to replace my beloved long wool coat that is surely saying daily: fix my lining or retire me! With old man Winter hanging on even though Phil saw his shadow, I’ve been bargaining with my coat to see me through this season while I look for its replacement. Like everything these days, choices abound as well as a whole lot of confusion, especially when you ar

New Year, New Wardrobe


Out with the old and in with the new. At least that’s the age old adage for many years. Know Boutique is taking this saying to heart by throwing it out and saying “out with the old and expensive and in with the new and affordable… Thank You!’

Looking for fashionable clothes at affordable prices is the name of the game for many. For some when they see the word affordable, they often think cheap and poor quality and don’t give a second glance to small online boutiques. I’ve found this little known

Don’t know about you, but we use fast-fashion fave Topshop almost strictly for bargain hunting. But with their new collab collection by critical darling Mark Fast, the Brit retailer is asking us invest a bit more cash in their trendy wears than usual. Priced between $100 and $185, the five-piece, neo-knitwear line sure is sexy, but will shoppers actually snap it up when it hits racks in 10 days?
