Power Dressing

April 30, 2009

I was watching a television show last evening that got me thinking about “Power Dressing”.  For those of you reading who weren’t a part of the 1980’s “power dressing” was a structured way of feminine dressing that empowered women in the workplace.  Must-have elements include: shoulder pads, masculine tailoring, and of course pants replacing leg-baring [...]

I Want To Look Like Her!

April 27, 2009

 It’s really not hard to replicate celebutante stylish get-ups.  Many times it’s all about simple/basic items that are paired with up-to-date accessories and a simple roll of the sleeve and pop of the collar.  You too can look like a star and it won’t cost you an arm and a leg either.  The following is [...]

Dreary wet days like today beg for a jolt of happy color!  Stash away your head to toe gray and black when the weather turns dismal and try the season’s hottest new neon shades that will definitely get you a second glance or two.  I love mixing spring/summer’s popular colors with basics like white, khaki, [...]

The Gown

January 21, 2009

Ok, ok so this is it!  I couldn’t let Michelle Obama’s Inaugural gown go un-blogged about!  The First Misses looked absolutely resplendent in her creamy Jason Wu gown.  While, I initially thought Michelle would wear a splashy hue, her off-white, asymmetrical silhouette, and elegant train  was the perfect choice and floated along with her and [...]

Garments at the Globes

January 12, 2009

My favorite part of any awards show is the Red Carpet.  It’s always fun to see what the stars are wearing and how they (or their stylists) put it together – hair, jewels, and handbag.  It seemed to me that the stars decided predominantly on donning dramatic black or other inky hues (perhaps due to the [...]

Chicago Chic?

January 8, 2009

This past weekend I had the pleasure of visiting the very mid-western city
Chicago.  I love city getaways… I enjoy trying new restaurants, visiting museums, shopping, and of course observing the style of many of the inhabitants.  As you may already know, after reading some of my city inspiration postings I love to meld city chic-ness [...]

With all of the excitement surrounding the inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama, we asked students at Kent State University’s Fashion School to design garments for Michelle Obama and Jill Biden, wife of Vice President-elect Joe Biden, that could be worn during various inaugural activities, including several official balls. More than two dozen answered the call.

The Chic First Lady

January 3, 2009

There’s LOTS of buzz right now about what the classically stylish Michelle Obama and the conservative Jill Biden will don during the Inaugural festivities.
Michelle always seems to get it right. She knows her body and selects wardrobe pieces that accentuate it. I love that she typically skips the hum-drum suit and instead throws on flattering [...]

October 14, 2008

It was a glorious weekend, full of sunshine and high temperatures which of course prompted many to resurrect the summer threads they recently put away including Capri pants. I was meandering through a lovely small town on Saturday afternoon taking in the quaint shops and restaurants and simply enjoying the day, when I started [...]
