Dress Codes

Ah, the holidays are upon us again!  The invitations for this soiree or that should begin streaming in within the coming weeks which will prompt us all to take a good hard look at our wardrobes to determine what’s “Just right” for the occassion.  I am a regular ranter about the ultra-casual sect of people that…

The Beautiful Men

I had an interesting experience this week that has continued to penetrate my thoughts up until today.  Monday afternoon, needing a desperate caffeine jolt and taking a bit of time away from the old office I stopped in to Starbucks where I noticed a black stretch limo parked out front.  of course I immediately had…

Fashion Police?

While I DID give Kelly Osborne props yesterday for her lovely ensemble at the Emmys I am a bit disgruntled that this gal is now on the E News Fashion Police panel with three other amigos.  Is it just me, or is Kelly Osbourne typically known for ill-fitting poor clothing choices?  While this gal is…

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

Who knew the Emmy’s were this past weekend?  It just doesn’t seem plausible that it is already awards season!  While the prolific acceptance speeches are always what get me to tune in, the fashion is typically hard to beat – whether its good, so-so, or downright hideous.  So who hit the mark and who totally…

Fashion, Food, Fitness Take 3

It’s Friday night and you don’t have any plans, but you want to throw on something exciting and look gorge and go somewhere cool and delish to make it all worth it. We are getting a tinge of a chill in the evenings these days, so it might be kinda fun to throw on one…

chilly

How did we go from hot-hot 90′s to whispy 70′s in a matter of a day?  My spaghetti strapped whatevers and shorts are still in the front of my closet making it difficult for me to remember what’s it is like to have to reach for a jacket or sweater.  The first few days of cooler…

Getting Pretty

Those of us who make pilgrimages up to the Cleveland area simply to get a Sephora fix will have to do so no longer!  No, sorry ladies we aren’t getting a Sephora in the neighborhood – but a something just as nice – ULTA.  Yes my dear make-up lovin’ friends Fairlawn Plaza in Montrose is…

Totally "Me" Totally NOT

There is nothing better than gaining inspiration from a well-dressed lovely on the streets!  Typically the eye-catching nature/appeal of a fashionable person is his or her knack for putting items together that you may already have, in a different way than you may have thought previously acceptable.  I am in love with street style websites,…

The Store to Shop Now

I have my ups and my downs with Express.  Right now I am on the upswing and really like several of the items in the store – most specifically the outerwear, that is stylish, chic, and affordable — three words that I love to use! At the current time this lovely retailer has put several…

Ring my Bell

It was the “Statement Necklace”  that had fashion folks  everywhere abuzz the last couple of seasons, and while in your face massive multi-colored baubles swathed about the neck is still de rigour, the new “IT” accessory for those who love to kick it up a notch is the cocktail ring. Yes, bigguns’ strapped to your forefinger…

Oversize It

Fashion obsessions happen almost daily for me – I become infatuated with certain accessories, a new silhouette, or even a different heel height.  So what is it today on this lovely Sunday afternoon that has me lost in a daydream?  It’s the oversized clutch.  The bigger  the better my friends – I am talking lots of width and…

Fashion Friday

I am certain that all of you fastidiously programmed your DVRs today so to not miss the fabulous fall fashions featured on “That’s Life” by Robin Swoboda this morning… But, if you didn’t, you missed a smattering of sparkly gold pieces mixed with military, retro 1950′s sihlouettes, and fur (incidentally one of my favorites)… Again,…

I am SO FREAKING Out

Don’t worry readers, I am not actually in freak-out mode, although I should be after watching the latest ‘sode of “The Rachel Zoe Project” last night on the Bravo network.  For those of you not in the “Zoe” loop – “Tay” is no longer with the company and now Brad the super-prep has taken the…
