Image via We Heart It I always find dressing during the summer to be difficult.   I’m used to layering and I continue to pile layers on top of layers of shirts on,  even in 90+ degree weather.   Inspiration also fades during the summer  as I don’t put as much thought into color schemes [...]

I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July weekend–or even a wonderful weekend for those who don’t celebrate.  I felt like this long weekend was a much needed break from some usual commotion and took full advantage of it. Since the weather was beautiful, but steaming hot, I decided that dresses were going [...]

First, I want to say thank you to everyone that retweeted, wrote about and entered this giveaway with Shabby Apple. I truly, truly appreciate it! I’m glad that it was so well received and there were so many entries. After using Random.org to pick the winner of the giveaway, and came up with the number [...]

I’ve always admired scarves from a distance, but never really felt like I could master the art of wearing them. You know how they say that you have to wear the clothes, don’t let the clothes wear you? I think that can totally apply to wearing a scarf.   There are some who wear scarves [...]

This is Yohji Yamamoto™s Fall 1988 with model Susie Bick.I lost the image during my great computer crash of 2010 after stupidly not saving it on my external drive.   I came across it again via the Yamamotoism Tumblr and almost let out a mini scream.  You know where [...]

[7OcgoZiFk_I] I’ve been watching old videos of the late Lena Horne lately and came across this Gap commercial from 1997. Ms. Horne looked as stylish and beautiful as always. Rest in peace to a woman who has always given us that bright smile. The Lena Horne I’ll Always Remember

I first found this short documentary, The Colour of Beauty, over at Jezebel and became completely mesmerized during the entire 17:48 minute video.   This video follows Renee Thompson, a model who is navigating her way through the fashion industry as a model.  Renee, 24, wants to make it “big” as a model and knock ‘em [...]

I really don’t know what has gotten into me lately, but as I’ve been going on a mini (and I do mean mini) shopping spree, I’ve been buying items that I might admire, but I normally wouldn’t buy.  This is especially true when it comes to clothes/accessories with a  print or pattern. I’m mostly a [...]
