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…
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…
If you are in love with exceptionally pretty blouses and dresses Parker is the designer for you! I am not a fan of dresses for myself but blouses are definitely something I love. I have owned several Parker blouses and have to say…. I am a big fan! I sold this brand for years working in retail and it was one of my favorite brands. The blouses and dresses are so feminine and beautiful and they make you feel that way when you wear them. Parker is a New York City brand and was inspired and created for the city girl; whether she is a city girl at heart or actually a city girl for real! Their website says “She is fearless, her style is…
It is now approaching Labor Day and is time to start thinking seriously about your Fall wardrobe. First and foremost, start going through that overcrowded closet and get rid of some old stuff! The fact is you probably don’t want to get rid of anything, right? I hear this from my clients and friends all the time and I even feel this way! We are usually not sure if we will wear it again so we keep it year after year. I believe there are certain things we should keep and others we need to donate or just plain get rid of. I will share some of the things I do for my closet sanity. The first thing I do is divide my wardrobe into…
Hello again girlies! My desire is to help women like you dress and feel better everyday of your life. Having a great wardrobe can help bring out that confidence that is hidden deep inside you. We are all different and we should all be able to express that to the world. Since we are all different, I have a hard time telling woman they need certain things in their wardrobe without knowing what their everyday life looks like. Your lifestyle and personality will dictate a lot of your wardrobe choices. You can have a powerful, functional wardrobe with just 15 to 20 pieces. Whether you are a stay-at-home wife or mom or a corporate working woman, you can have a great wardrobe to suite your…
Boy oh boy, I could not wait to write about this one! If you know me personally you know that I am a huge fan of Kendra Scott jewelry. I personally own 5 pairs of earrings and an awesome necklace. This company introduced me to my favorite kind of earring; the ear jacket. If you are not familiar with that term, it is a type of earring that has the front part of the earring and another part that dangles from the back of the earring so it creates a “jacket” around your ear. They are incredibly cool. Four of my five pairs are ear jackets. A. Gigi Ear Jackets B. Collette Ear Jackets C. Lydia Shoulder Duster Ear Jacket Kendra Scott started making jewelry…
