The Brown Leather Jacket

It’s easy to find a great black jacket but the brown has been a bit more elusive.  A reader asked for suggestions so I went on the prowl. First stop, Overstock.com. A great dark brown jacket by Kenneth Cole for $199.99.  I love the cut, I love the color.  Dress it up, dress it down.…

Affordable my a$$ Posh

I think it’s hysterical and slightly unnerving to see splashed about the ‘net this chatter about Victoria Beckham’s new more affordable line.  Seriously?  This head-up-your-rich-arse mentality is why no person should become president if he can make around $60K a day without lifting a finger.  I digress. For the sake of my fashion journalistic integrity…

The cheap list

There are sooo many things I love right now.  With winter comes luxe coats, boots and sweaters.  But since I’ve been kicking back for a while and not earning my fair share I have been put on the cheap list.  I see a few others here I recognize, I won’t name names.  With spouses out…

Hit or Miss?

I disagree with the majority of the voters who think this is a MISS for Diane Kruger. It depends on where you are wearing it I suppose, but how can you not love the fuzzy yumminess?  However, she wore it to a haute couture show in Paris!  Statement coat indeed.  HIT! Click the photo to…

The Peacoat under $200

It’s a bit dull compared to most coats I love, but I think every chic gal should have a peacoat.  Perhaps spice it up with some color like this one from LLBean.com  $199 in vintage red. It’s a classic in America dating back hundreds of years.  I think I became enthralled as a child when…

Betsey Johnson NYFW Fall 2011

Ahhh Betsey.  One can hardly help but to adore her, even if her clothes aren’t quite your style.  If you ever have the chance to see a Betsey Johnson runway show I can promise you it will be an experience of a lifetime.  Rarely do you see models smile, prance and have a ball on…

Wrap Up Your Summer Look

This summer add a splash of color to any outfit with a fun, bright pashmina scarf. The Pashmina Ladies, an online store for accessories, offers a wide variety of colors and patterns to spice up anything from casual or business attire to evening wear. No matter the occasion, pashminas help add the perfect finishing touch…

Write it…for real

I read something this week about surrounding yourself with people who will nourish you and your business and I thought that would be a good way to look at regarding everyone you hang out with.  Getting rid of the non-nourishers seemed like a pretty swell idea to me, especially with all the new projects I’ve…

Color files – the trend

If you didn’t already hear, Honeysuckle is the color of 2011 per Pantone.  Pantone surveys top designers featured at NY Fashion Week each season to determine the coming color trends. It’s so hot here in the Midwest but I dare to look toward the cooler days and nights of Fall 2011 because the color palette…
