The sweatshirt has come a long way. Now almost every major fashion house has a version of the basic tried-and-true sweatshirt. They are not just for working out, you can pair a sweatshirt with nicer denim, trousers, skirts and wear them over a crisp white-dress shirt for added texture. The sweatshirt is now available inContinue reading “The Sweatshirt is Having a Moment”

The Summer Tote
I’ve been dreaming of Maui, and a new vacation tote-bag. I found a few that might fit the bill. My favorite is by oaxacaXamor. It reminds me of the curtains in Pedro Almodóvar’s movie Pain & Glory. oaxacaXamor has an online store, but since my friend Daniel is going to Oaxaca for a month, he’sContinue reading “The Summer Tote”
The Iconic Red Lip
Red lipstick is my signature, and I’ve had no reason to wear it. I’ve worn makeup a few times, but it’s something one has to ease their way back into. I’m in-love with Dior’s Iconic 999 shade. I have it in several variations. There is a texture for everyone….. Here’s to finding your perfect textureContinue reading “The Iconic Red Lip”
The Other Sneaker
I am thrilled I bought my Nike Women’s Air Zoom Pegasus sneakers last year, not only are they comfortable, but chic too. To be strolling around Paris, window shopping or running around the Musée d’Orsay, it’s my favorite Museum in Paris. I’m wistful, dreaming of travel. I either buy my sneakers at Carbon38 or Bandier,Continue reading “The Other Sneaker”
The Long Dress
Summer is fast approaching, and I’ve been buying dresses for my Maui vacation. I started buying dresses since last summer to be honest, so that I can wear them with leggings/tights and my booties. But we have been stuck-at-home and they are all stored away in my closet. My summer dresses are black or oliveContinue reading “The Long Dress”
That’s a Wrap
I own so many shawls and ponchos, in various colors, and now there are so many new temptations. Like this new hybrid by Margo Baridon, you can wear it over anything and add jewelry like Olivia Palermo in a photo by Diego @Collagevintage2. Discovering new brands also makes it harder to stay within a budget,Continue reading “That’s a Wrap”
Style Profile: Christa D’Souza, Journalist, London, England
I have several Icons, but they are not fashion related, what I find iconic is a good journalist, and Christa needs no introduction, if you’re into beauty, fashion, and wellness then you know who she is. I look forward to reading her articles in British Vogue, W Magazine and especially enjoyed her articles for Net-a-Porter.Continue reading “Style Profile: Christa D’Souza, Journalist, London, England”
The Summer Hat
Let’s face it, we are all dreaming of summer vacations, dreaming of beaches, out in the sun where we can watch the ocean waves crash against the rocks, leaving our masks behind. My sister and I are planning our September vacation, Maui is our destination with summer hats on our minds. I ordered a blackContinue reading “The Summer Hat”
The Controversial Sneaker
Some people are boycotting New Balance over misinformation, New Balance does not support bigotry, racism or hate in any form, yet people believe that because New Balance donated money to the Trump Campaign, that they must support hate in all it’s forms. All companies donate money to both Democrats and Republican’s, New Balance is notContinue reading “The Controversial Sneaker”
Style Profile: Lucia Gómez, Jewelry Designer, Lucia G, Barcelona
Discovering Lucia’s jewelry is like discovering the holy grail. Her pieces are gorgeous, which makes owning a piece of her jewelry an ultimate status symbol. Her pieces are handmade, and you can commission pieces from her selection of beads and other materials. She basically sells though her instagram page, but I’m hoping to entice herContinue reading “Style Profile: Lucia Gómez, Jewelry Designer, Lucia G, Barcelona”
Pearls Are Everywhere
Pearls are unique, they are the only gem created from a living organism, they don’t require cutting or polishing, they are beautiful as they are and have been a favorite for centuries, all around the world. I started wearing a single strand of pearls to bed after watching Sex & the City, Carry inspired meContinue reading “Pearls Are Everywhere”
Adult Hair Accessories
Wearing a banana clip has been considered the worst of the 80’s, and wearing a bow is considered to be too girlie, but ladies wearing a hair clip from Alexandre de Paris or The Bow from Ella Gorbo is like accepting the scrunchie from Slip. I literally run around in my Slip scrunchie, and ownContinue reading “Adult Hair Accessories”
The Universal Sneaker
Over the past weekend I was at the Ferry Building, picking up oysters from Hog Oyster Island, hotdogs from Golden Gate, and hotdog buns at ACME. I was outside, taking in the view of my city when I saw her, she was an older lady on vacation, she was wearing an oversized coat, big sunglassesContinue reading “The Universal Sneaker”
Parisian Trench
Trench coats are a Parisian staple, not just because they are cool to wear but because they protect you from the weather. I remember noticing the trench coat on Humphrey Bogart in the film Casablanca as he goes off into the night, well covered in his lightweight long coat…the Trench coat. Although Burberry of LondonContinue reading “Parisian Trench”
Life Imitates Art
I love discovering art where we can identify with the clothing, not that the classics are not enjoyable to view too. I just love art, if I could do it all over again, a museum curator would be an option, besides being a magazine editor. It’s nice to know that the crisp white shirt hasContinue reading “Life Imitates Art”
