I don’t watch the Emmys, but I do check out the red carpet looks the day after. It’s not that I don’t watch the shows nominated, but that I’d rather see the short list of results afterward and peruse all the celebs in their gowns at my leisure. I’m always interested in seeing the gowns. [...]

Alice and Olivia is another label I love, and rarely do I find myself loving a label. At most I like just one or two things, maybe three (what can I say, I’m just a particular person), but with A+O I love most everything Stacey Bendet designs. A newcomer to the fashion industry, the brand [...]

You know that the summer is nearing an end when stores start filling their shelves with sweaters. Nevermind that it’s still 90 degrees out. Even as the summer is coming to a close and fall is fast approaching, I still like to see what knits will be filling the shelves.

Elie Tahari is a brilliant designer of beautiful clothes. His collections are so effortlessly stylish that his work is simply marvelous. Really, I actually marvel at the clothes he designs.
His latest collection has just hit stores and it was there that I came across this leather jacket. The subtleties of the jacket are lost in [...]

So, you know how a couple weeks ago I said I was on a shopping diet? And I said I wouldn’t be adding anything to be closet? And I said it was going really well? Well today I kind of went off that diet. And by kind of I mean I did a little shopping. [...]

On certain days, living in Florida can feel like living in the Pacific Northwest.  Come summertime, the afternoon thunderstorms roll in and flood the streets with a torrential downpour, and in June, the hurricane season begins.  Don’t get me wrong, it doesn’t rain all day every day like it can in Seattle, but for anyone [...]
