Mais Oui!!

Paris Fashion Week is upon us. The epicenter of fashion and style. The home of Haute Couture. The birthplace of many designers including the eternal CoCo Chanel.  The festivities begin today, March 3, 2015 and I will be channeling the energy from across the pond. I will be gobbling up every beautiful Fall/Winter 2015 garment and writing my reactions like a mad woman to share with the world. Ok, well let me just imagine how fabulous it would be to walk the streets of Paris from show to show. One day, I'll be there! Remember I said that!


You can watch shows on http://parisfashionweeklive.com/  starting Wednesday. I've caught a glimpse of pics from the shows so far and all I can say is "ooh la la!"

I'm so glad gauchos are back with a chic style! I need this look today!
This ensemble is in the Each X Other Womenswear F/W 15-16 Collection. 

More on the fun of Paris Fashion Week... Here!

Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week: F/W 2015


Dreams do come true! I'm covering writing NYFW articles for a real fashion magazine, New York Fashion Weekly!  I couldn't be more thrilled and grateful that the internet exists. I'm tucked away in Virginia, but have a front row seat at the shows. I'm able to view each collection, take my notes, and synthesize my notes into articles that will inform and entertain. I'm excited that from the comfort of my home, I can do a job I love and that really makes my life worth living.

I've always loved fashion design. Now, I get paid to admire pretty things and write. Win-Win! Passions abound and operating in them is so gratifying! What's your passion? How can you start actualizing the passions that run deep in your heart? Don't let another day go by that you don't take a step closer to the pleasure of fulfillment.
Watch shows here!

Winter Wardrobe Reboot: Comfort


I was reading a status that my Facebook friend posted last week. She confessed to purchasing jeans from Chicos. She was slightly alarmed because Chico's is where "older women" purchase their sophisticated wears.  Had she moved into the "older women" category?  I perused the comments and it seems as if late thirty-somethings are transitioning to more sophisticated, comfortable clothing and there isn't a darn thing wrong with that. So, I must confess that I have recently begun wearing shoes that are saving my back and feet from the strain that heels pose. Don't get me wrong, the pumps, stilettos, and platforms are still in heavy rotation, but my Dansko clogs have now become my favorite! "Word of foot" is how this small European company has spread like wild fire. Well consider yourself informed! Add a pair to your Christmas list and you will not be disappointed!

 I slide on my wide legged trousers and slip on my black patent leather Dansko clogs and my feet are in heaven! Come to find out, EVERYONE is wearing these comfy shoes. Celebrities like Heidi Klum and Jennifer Garner as well as Euro-chic teenagers can be seen in Dansko clogs. So, these shoes are definitely on trend. Below are a few outfit ideas!

Fall Fashion Watch: Booted!

Well the temperatures on the East Coast have dropped for good it seems. Couple that with the shorter days and it's a recipe for disaster for me! I love warm Miami weather! Yet, this time of year is a great time to get booted.  Whether they're ankle booties or thigh high, boots are the perfect accent to most outfits. On the weekends, I live in Uggs (don't judge me) or my Fryes.  But during the week I step up any outfit by choosing the right boot.  Don't fret if you're a fluffy girl and want a nice looking calf boot that is NOT all elastic. You can go here and check out all the great varieties.

Fall Fashion Watch: Layers

Note from me:  Wow! I had no idea I had such a loyal following. I wasn't able to get my Monday Fashion post up which disappointed quite a few people. Let me apologize for letting 'life' get in the way of providing your Fall Fashion fix! I promise it won't happen again...

Layers!

With weather fighting transitions from warm to chilly, we are left trying to decide what to wear that will translate from cold (almost freezing) mornings into warm, sunny afternoons. I really don't like lugging a big coat around in the afternoons, so I've compiled some layered looks that will help you peel off and put back on what you need as the weather does its own thing during the day.  Some of these looks will work well in the Spring too!



Layering 3
Start out with all of these pieces (even the sandals in your bag). As the temp warms up, peel off the jacket to reveal the cute dress and leggings. Hotter? Slip away and slip the leggings off.  Way too hot? Tee, leggings and sandals will do the trick!

Layering 2
It's freezing when you're on the way to the office and by the time you leave, its 80 degrees! No problem. These pieces can mix and match to bring you great comfort. An added bonus is that you can mix and match them to translate into a night on the town (blouse, skirt, and cape) or feeling more daring, just wear your buttoned blazer and skirt. A safety pin will insure that the "girls" stay put.

An Oxford shirt is a must have! It can go over and under sweaters. In this case, wear it open over the sleeveless sweater. Temps rising? Take the jacket off, wrap the oxford around your waste and trek on!
