Since we just talked about the inspiring costumes of Marie Antoinette, I thought you might enjoy these editorial shots taken by notable photographer Annie Leibovitz. This French Twists Vogue shoot (May 2004) celebrates France’s most scandalous century, with Gemma Ward, Gisele Bundchen, Hugh Dancy, & Gerard Depardieu. All of the beautiful costumes in the first […]

Working from home has so many advantages (having my dog sleep at my feet, tea breaks whenever I like, flexible hours…) but it’s so easy to get caught in the slump of wearing college sweats or baggy, loungy clothes that are only good for when you are snuggling up on the couch watching a great […]

Before seeing Revolutionary Road on Sunday, Paige remarked on the fashion in the film and particularly of Kate Winslet’s gorgeous clothing. After two minutes into the movie I knew exactly what she meant. Costume designer Albert Wolsky’s interpretation of the story through the characters’ clothing was completely spot on.

Hope you all enjoyed your Valentine’s weekend. Pink is not a color that I am often drawn to but after seeing the zig zags on the inspiration board, pink cupcakes for Valentine’s Day, and now the work of the amazing photographer, Corrie Bond, then perhaps I have entered in a new phase.

J Crew, what are you doing to me? I just scooped up a small selection of final sale winter items that I have had my eye on and then they release this beautiful pastel palette of jacquard and playful patterns for the spring. The inspiration comes from Indian mosaic tiles, fabrics, traditional flower malas worn […]

By now you have probably seen Michelle Obama’s Inauguration Ball gown that was designed by Jason Wu. Her soft white chiffon one-shoulder dress piqued my curiosity about what this young designer has been up to in his rapidly growing career. The 26-year-old designer’s polished 2009 Spring RTW collection is the definition of casual elegance. A […]

I love looking at inspiration boards. This one comes from Coach’s brand journal that is available online. The board was most likely put together for last year’s fall line because there are many jewel tones present. I have been doing my accounting all morning then have a dentist appointment this afternoon so it is certainly […]

My husband, Jon, loathes the idea of shopping. In fact, I think it has been several years since he last stepped foot in a menswear store to purchase clothes for himself. And that’s where I come in. Once, sometimes twice, a year Jon is open to the idea of updating his wardrobe (usually out of […]

There is nothing that I do not LOVE about Eva Longoria Parker’s dress at the Golden Globes this year. The scalloped detail along the bustline, figure hugging bodice, and the fishtail silhouette is absolute perfection. Her stylist gets my Golden Globe Award for the simple yet sleek hair style, Verdura bloom motif diamond earrings, and […]
