Here Comes the Bride

Well, you may not be the bride. In fact, you may not even be in the wedding party. That does not mean, however, that you should forgo looking as fabulous as you possibly can during wedding season because yes, wedding season is upon us. The obvious advice is to stay away from the color white; [...]

I am Gladiator!

That’s what the fashion world has said when it comes to this summer’s footwear. The temperature outdoors is rising, and for that very reason the theme is “less is more.”

In the case of fashion for the feet, the gladiator style sandal–very Roman, very minimalist–mimics that theme of very little. However, don’t forget that while [...]

Stylized Femininity

One of the best things about fashion (at least for me) is learning about new designers. New, in this sense, can mean just starting out or new to me. In either case, I find that I get a small rush of excitement as I’m viewing what the designers of a particular new line have created. [...]

Project Runway

…makes its season four debut on November 14, 2007.
Can’t wait.

Pop! Pop! Pop!

Bright, showy colors in rich, flowing fabrics are calling. And Jil Sander answered. The Fall trends of bright color will continue into the Spring if one is to look at what Raf Simon offered the public. What’s great about the collection is that even though the hues are eye-popping, the tailoring is subdued. It’s what’s [...]

This show’s a keeper

Tonight was the debut of Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style on Bravo. There are not enough words in the English language to express how much I respect Tim Gunn’s thoughts on style. I even bought his book this summer. He’s quite the erudite fellow. The show, in my opinion, is a bit different than the [...]
