When I first saw the above Self Portrait ruffled long-sleeved mini dress in white sheer guipure lace and crepe, I fell in love instantly. My instant attraction and longing for this dress made so much greater sense when I saw that Beyonce wore the dress to Wimbledon last year…great minds think alike huh (LOL!) Too bad my […]
Former DVF Creative Director, Jonathan Saunders, designed vibrant prints with the modern woman in mind for DVF’s Autumn Winter 2017 collection, and the tonal-yellow Elsden print on this black silk-crepe raglan high neck blouse is one of the many showstopping pieces that resulted from such amazing creativity. According to DVF.com: Developed from freehand sketches of […]
Holiday season is here and I have put together 5 showstopping looks that will put the Fa La La La in any event you may have to attend. I decided to assemble these looks specifically for #curvy women like me because so many fashion magazines and blogs out there tend to have more of the […]
I have been searching for a tweed jacket and a black blazer for a while now. On a recent trip to New York, I had the opportunity to shop at Zara and I found a black tweed jacket that blends both needs superbly (score!) This jacket also features pearl button details on the front, piped […]
Styling a very feminine item like a pleated skirt with a graphic sweatshirt is so oxymoronically inspiring. This kind of look can be full sporty versus medium to low sporty based on the accessories you choose (sneakers versus pumps, sporty tote versus lady-like handbag etc). I went for medium to low sporty in this look. […]
If you did not know already, checkered/plaid blazers are all the range currently. Pretty much all the fashion houses sent plaid blazers (and coats and skirts and pants and accessories) down the runway during the various fashion weeks. One of my favorite looks was by Fendi who styled a checkered blazer with a leather logo […]
One of the easiest ways to transition a spring or summer dress to a fall/winter look is to style it with knee-high or over-the-knee boots. This chic look merges form and function especially if you get a low to mid-heel height for the boots. For this look, I styled a Diane von Furstenberg Silk Smock Dress with […]
Brigitte Bardot was the quintessential effortlessly smoldering French Riviera style icon. She is credited for being the Queen of the Collarbone–indeed she took the off-the-shoulder silhouette to the highest of heights in style history during the 60s and 70s and the Bardot-neckline, decades later, remains a runway staple today. The Bardot-neckline continues to stand the […]
Velvet has made a major comeback this fall fashion season. Colored velvet was very prominent in many of the presentations at both New York and Paris Fashion Weeks. Indeed, if you search many retailers’ in-store and on-line content, you will definitely stumble upon many velvet pieces. It is no surprise that Velvet is making a […]
I am a loyal fan of the Diane von Furstenberg brand–DVF’s love of bold prints, updated feminine chic silhouettes gets me every time. It is no surprise that I fell in love with this crew neck floral print maxi dress in Bournier Acid Yellow Floral. This dress is made of 100% Silk and I ended […]
