Designer of the Week: Lilla P

By

My Designer of the Week pick for this week is Lilla P!  This is a personal favorite of mine from my years of clothing retail.  I feel like this is another wonderful brand that is missed by so many people.  Lilla P got it’s start with a basic everyday tee in 1998 and has grown into a full line of essentials and other fashionable items to mix in with your wardrobe.  Being masters of fit and function, it is not surprising that they also use high quality, luxurious fabrics to create their pieces. I can personally attest to the quality because I still have some of my Lilla P sweaters and t-shirts from 3 or 4 years ago and they still look brand new!  I…

Nordstrom Rack Comes to Memphis!!!

By

Hello Memphis Ladies!  There was such high anticipation around Memphis and the surrounding areas that we were actually getting a Nordstrom Rack! Something cool finally comes to Memphis.  Wow!  A lot of us hoped for a Nordstrom but knew that was probably a long shot.  So we must settle for this baby!  I do have to say I welcome it with open arms!  I was fortunate to get an invite to the Private Shopping Party that happened two days before it actually opened to the public.  You could register a guest or two so I brought along my friend and blogging buddy Erika McChesney of www.beautoptician.com. I met her while working at Eclectic Eye and we basically started this blogging world together.  We both have…

The Menswear-Inspired Blazer (I heart)

By

I heart the menswear inspired blazer! I have actually been looking for one for myself that I love and realized I already have one in my closet that I totally forgot about. This seems to happen the more clothing I accumulate!  My blazer is from Banana Republic and I purchased it months ago while shopping with a client for her spring wardrobe. It was on the sale rack and was such a good deal I could not pass it up. Oh, and not to mention it is super cute and olive green! What is it that defines the menswear-inspired blazer?  It is the marriage of men’s structure and masculine style to women’s feminine details and chic styling. The details of the menswear-inspired blazers are shoulder…

Fall Finds for Adrianne (Special Guest: Robin)

By

Well, you all might be surprised that I do shop other places besides TJ Maxx! I actually shop everywhere, I just have a tendency to like a really good deal so I shop at TJ Maxx for myself A LOT. I did take a trip recently with my sister in law to TJ Maxx and Loft.  Adrianne, my sister in law, and I have shopped for her clothing for the past 13 years, which is how long I have been married to her brother.  She is blind, yes totally blind, so I am a big help to her wardrobe choices!  I will say that even though she is blind she is very opinionated about some of the things she tries on because she determines how…

Capsule Wardrobe for Travel

By

Hello again! For those of you who are new to traveling and are taking a long getaway I hope this article is helpful to you. This is a continuation to an article I wrote in August called Travel Essentials for those Long Getaways. My client that is taking the trip was so kind to let me photograph the wardrobe that accompanied her on her getaway. The temperatures predicted for her overseas destination were going to be in the low 40’s or 50’s and high 70’s or 80’s.  To allow room for future purchases on your trip, I recommend that you keep your choices at a minimum and practice packing them early to make sure they will fit properly (with room left) in your suitcase. There are a…

Designer of the Week: Trina Turk

By

I think I have discovered that I love writing about these designers each week because it brings me great memories of my retail days selling contemporary clothing.  I am one of those nerdy fashion people that really loves to learn about designers and how they came to succeed in such a competitive industry. The things I feel that make a great brand are the quality of their design, the quality of their fabrics and that they stick to their brand image.  One of the brands that I really admire with these qualities is Trina Turk.  I can pick out something designed by Trina Turk a mile away because she has stayed true to what her brand is and the quality of the fabrics and designs…

Fabulous Fall Booties!

By

I’m not gonna lie, this is my absolute favorite subject I have written about so far.  I am crazy about a good pair of booties, or several pairs for that matter! I am so glad short boots or booties have become such a staple in our wardrobes. The selections we have to choose from are numerous and can be quite overwhelming these days.  In saying that, I thought I would share some styles and colors of booties that I feel would be great additions to our fall wardrobes! Since I am completely obsessed with booties, you are going to see a lot of picks from me here (but not as many as you will find online or in a store)! And they are all reasonably…
