She By Sheree

October 28, 2009

Last Thursday our favorite Atlanta Housewives on Bravo bid us all adieu as they ended another season.  Along with all the catfighting and major ‘tude Sheree also debuted her highly anticipated (?) line “She By Sheree” fashion collection.  The real question is, who did the better fashion line this season – Sheree or Lisa?  My [...]

Fur For Fall

October 20, 2009

Tsk!  Tsk!  What a bad blogger I am!  I will not provide excuses… Even though I have some good ones… and will instead cut to the chase and chat about my favorite subject – CLOTHES! 
If  following the fashion trends isn’t your “thing” you may not realize that fur is a big-time must have this season.  [...]

Everybody’s Got a Fashion Line

September 22, 2009

What is the deal with EVERYONE thinking that they are capable of designing a fashionable, stylish, and en pointe clothing line!?  It started with the “singers” of the world – Jessica Simpson, JLo, The Duff Girls, etc… Then, the celebutantes stepped up to the plate with Paris designing (ugly) shoes, Nicky Hilton doing a full [...]

The Fashion Show Finale – Who will win?!

July 17, 2009

Many of you were privy to my rants about the Bravo, Project Runway knock-off show, “The Fashion Show”.  In the beginning, I tuned in and was less than impressed.  The designers were super amateur, the designs were ugly and uninspired, and the host’s wise cracks were distracting to the viewer and not helpful for the [...]

Get Lim For Less

June 23, 2009

The Phillip Lim 3.1 spring summer 2009 collection certainly didn’t disappoint.  One of the stand-out and signature features of the collection was Lim’s use of the zipper as an artsy embellishment.  Zippers were formed into cascading waterfalls against classic silhouettes and the shoes that stomped the runway mimicked the pretty and girly vibe from start [...]

What They Wore: The Met Gala 2009

May 11, 2009

Sorry for the delay in this particular posting, but I just couldn’t bear to ignore it all together since providing pics of some of the most fashionable people at the prestigiously attended Met Gala in New York is downright important.  In many ways the Met Gala brings out more fabulous fashion finery than the Grammys, [...]

Runway Look Real Person Price

March 5, 2009

We all want to look like catwalk stalkers, but unfortunately most of us don’t have the dough to get the exact look.  While it’s fun to window shop at the high end designer stores, I revel more in finding less expensive versions that mimic the exact getup I saw on the runway.  So, now is your [...]

Blue and Dolce – Highlights of Milan Fashion Week

March 3, 2009

It sure was sweet to take a look at some of the collections featured at Milan Fashion Week.  There was lots of dazzling bling and pretty fabrics and colors.  Out of the long list of designers who presented in Milan I was particularly taken by both the Blumarine and Dolce Gabbana collections that were ultra [...]

London Fashion Week

February 26, 2009

I always get a little nostalgic when London Fashion Week rolls around… It takes me back to the days when I lived in the jolly UK and passed by the glorious white tents and watched as the glamour-pusses made their way past the gatekeepers into the lively shows.  London isn’t always getting oodles of accolades [...]

Is It a DO or a DON’T?

February 25, 2009

Every season designers must come up with a new or revised way to style it up.  I am sure that you all remember the bare leg craze a few years ago that dictated that the only acceptable way to don your favorite open-toes was suffering through it with naked gams… Luckily though this past season thick, [...]
