RULES ARE MEANT TO BE BROKEN
Ugh…rules. From the day we could dress ourselves, rules have been a very unruly part of fashion. One thing I’ve learned in my career in retail and fashion, and in life in general, is that fashion rules have been written by someone who is most likely long gone…and no one has legally updated them. We think it’s high time to ignore the old rules, play by our own and wear what we want! No white after Labor Day? Hmmm. A winter white blazer is the most seamlessly season less thing in my closet. Never mix blue and black or brown Read more …
We Heart Valentine’s Day!
IT’S ALMOST VALENTINE’S DAY AND WHILE WE CAN ALL PRETEND IT’S ABOUT A NIGHT OF ROMANCE, ROSES, CHAMPAGNE AND CHOCOLATE, WE KNOW THE REAL DEAL. Valentine’s Day is just another mid-month excuse to buy a new outfit. And this holiday is a fun one to outfit. Dinner. Dancing. Cocktails. It’s all about you/us! We are the valentines and men are just here to compliment, worship and woo us, if only for 24 hours. If you’re married or dating someone who would prefer to stay home and have you cook, you need to remind him immediately that you are the valentine. Valentines Read more …
THE GENETICS OF SHOE SHOPPING
WE ALL KNOW THERE ARE A MILLION CLICHÉS ABOUT WOMEN AND THEIR LOVE AFFAIR WITH SHOES. From Marilyn Monroe’s “Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world” to Carrie Bradshaw’s answering machine “Leave a message, I’m shoe shopping.” We know it’s cliché, but it doesn’t stop us from indulging. It’s in our DNA so it’s not completely our fault. If your were born with a pair of X chromosomes, it’s genetic to be a bit addicted to dressing from the ankle down, or the ground up! And it really doesn’t matter how many shoes you already Read more …
ENCORE!
It seems we never bat an eye when it comes time to refresh or update our kitchen, bedroom or living room. A throw pillow, a lamp or a piece of art can breathe new life into a space we’ve grown bored with. Well consider equal rights. A closet is a room too. It has feelings, and let’s face it, it has needs. It needs to be pampered, spruced and cleansed from time to time just like the other rooms. But “out with the old” is certainly easier said than done when you and your friends have had so many good Read more …
HAPPY NEW GEAR
Ok, before we all brace ourselves for the inevitable barrage of post holiday weight loss commercials, let’s remember one thing. It doesn’t matter if you overindulge this holiday season or not, we all feel better about working out if we look cute doing it. Whether it’s January or June, we don’t really need a kick in the pants, we just need new pants….and tanks and yada yada. Everyone we know basically lives in Lululemon gear, but the price tag for the pieces you really want can literally kick your butt before you ever see the inside of a gym. And Read more …

Shopping with an exclamation point!
Michael Kors once said, accessories are the exclamation point of a woman, and we couldn’t agree more. Imagine Coco Chanel without her pearls. Or Elizabeth Taylor without diamonds dripping from her ears. Why would we want to? As your style evolves and changes, accessories are always a great way to get big impact with a simple piece or two. Like the moment in Pretty Woman when Richard Gere clasps the breathtaking diamond stunner around Vivian’s neck. Of course the red dress stole the show, but we think the diamonds were the icing on the red velvet cake. And what happened Read more …
Happy Shopping… Happy Selling.
Every woman has her own individual style, but there are some things we all have in common. We like to shop of course, but the thrill of the hunt is only part of it. We’ve all seen that woman wearing something we love so much, we just have to stop and comment. There are among us those who take the compliment, extend a quick “thanks” and are on their way….you know who you are. Then there are the women we adore…the women who give too much information because they know we want it. Please don’t say “thanks” and be on Read more …
