I challenged myself to wear more color this summer because that’s what every magazine and fashion blogger was touting.  The problem was that every time I did wear color, I wished I was wearing neutrals.  Sometimes you just have to stick with what works for you whether it’s fashion or decor related.  I’ve described my […]

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala otherwise known as the Met Gala is described as the East Coast Oscars.  The red carpet rivals that of the Academy Awards but at this event, the models and fashion designers outshine the celebrities.  The entire purpose is to raise money and have a chic evening and […]

My friend Blue Carreon and I both bought wooden tennis racquets at the flea market yesterday.  Mine is displayed in my blue and white porcelain umbrella stand in my entry.  If I tried displaying a new tennis racquet, it would definitely not have the same effect.  I miss the days before plastic and bright colors […]

I had a lovely brunch date today with everyone’s favorite comedic Canadian interior designer, Tommy Smythe.  Afterward, we perused the vintage offerings at the Garage Flea Market where we found a lot of amazing items that would have perfect for a bachelor pad project.  Maybe that’s the reason I felt like posting a little more […]

While we’re on the subject of Mario Testino, how chic is this “Lady Luxe” spread he shot for the March issue of British Vogue. Let’s not get caught up on the fact that model Karlie Kloss seems to be floating or falling in every picture.  If you lived in a place that spectacular, you wouldn’t […]

I think it was the married straight male magazine editor Glenn O’Brien who once told a woman who mentioned loving Marni that she was lucky she was married. It’s not exactly considered sexy. Although, I think it does look good on those Italian women with tan little arms and legs like its creator Consuelo Castiglioni. […]

It was really cold and snowy for part of New York Fashion Week which was a good excuse for the fashion flock to pull out their furs.  And with so many designers showing fabulous furs on the runway for fall, it definitely made me want to pull mine out too. I especially loved fur coats […]

While I loved Ann Mashburn in Atlanta, I kind of wanted to move into Sid Mashburn and marry their handsome salesman Randall. It’s a mecca for menswear and impeccable custom suiting.  The tailors are on site to cater to your sartorial pleasure and couldn’t be sweeter.  If you’re a Southern gentleman or even a Yankee, […]

Also top on my list to visit in Atlanta were visiting the Ann Mashburn and Sid Mashburn stores.  I had heard so much about them that I couldn’t wait to check them out for myself.  I can definitely say that they don’t disappoint.  The men’s store Sid Mashburn opened first in 2007 and it took some […]

I started out on track this week but photo shoots for the book and preparations for trips to Atlanta and LA have left me falling behind.  Until I get myself squared away, I’m posting a repeat.  If television can do it, why can’t I?  The house belongs to Danish fashion designer Malene Birger, who has […]

While the rest of us are preparing for the holidays, fashion designers are presenting their Pre-Fall collections for 2012.  Jason Wu always shows lovely ladylike looks and it’s even more fun to view his fashions after seeing his mood board. above  I can’t always afford his beautiful dresses so I’m beyond excited for his Jason […]

If there is one color you should try to incorporate into your wardrobe come spring, it’s yellow.  I saw a yellow dress on pretty much every runway for Spring 2012 but the fashion flock were wearing yellow on the street during fashion week.  It’s a collection of my favorite looks including Anna and Vivianna shot […]

I love this outfit that was photographed by Facehunter during fashion week.  The color combination makes a lovely ensemble and also decorating scheme.  The pop of black adds a little punctuation to neutral shades like camel, brown, ivory, and white.   The best part of using these shades in a room is that you can […]

I realized recently that I haven’t been giving enough love to my male readers.  And yes, I do have them.  What better way to say I heart you than with a fall fashion and decor melange that was inspired by Jenna Lyons’ dining room above.  All the fashion photos are by my favorite street style […]

The themes that keep appearing for Spring 2012 fashion are color and pattern.  They also seems to be appearing off the runway.  Due to unseasonably warm weather in Paris, the street style photographers Tommy Ton, Phil Oh and others are catching the fashion flock looking a lot like peacocks. Obviously, you can take their outfits […]
