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”
Is the Scarf Making a Comeback?
Scarves have been a favorite accessory for decades. They can be tied in your hair, on your handbag, tied around your neck in various ways. I didn’t realize I could wear a scarf along with my pearls until I watched Nicole Kidman play Grace of Monaco. I’ve looked everywhere for an example, but could notContinue reading “Is the Scarf Making a Comeback?”

Who hasn’t made mistakes with their wardrobe in the early stages of figuring one self out. I’ve given away so much clothes, mainly because it was something I should never have purchased in the first place, there was even a purple sweater I bought twice, crazy. The essentials to wardrobe building begin with a basicContinue reading “The Essentials”
The Chicest Neutral
Leopard is a no-brainer, it instantly gives that je ne sais quoi that only a crimson pout can achieve. I have always been a fan, and my only regret has been not purchasing the YSL Leopard shawl those many years ago, it was 1k and with my employee discount would have been half-off, I was a foolContinue reading “The Chicest Neutral”

Lately I’ve been obsessed with earrings, as my sister Wendy say’s “Your jewelry walks into a room with you, you put your handbag down, but you’re always wearing your jewelry.” I recently noticed a trend that pearls seem to be the focus, pearls are always in style, but lately have taken a front row seatContinue reading “Everything’s Coming-Up Pearls”

I have been shopping with Cuyana for years, I love that they use sustainable materials, something just isn’t right about wearing anything too flashy these days and I consider Cuyana affordable luxury.

I was literally speechless when I saw this photo and realized why hadn’t I thought to roll up my sleeves higher on my white dress shirt? I love this look, so clean, classic and elegant.
