You Asked

Check out our latest video.  We answered a couple of your questions from the blog and Twitter — like “what to wear when traveling” and “how to get the Anderson Cooper look”. This isn’t my favorite video (yes, I have a disclaimer).  I don’t think that the clarity is very good... Read More

A Khaki by Any Other Name

When the word Khaki comes to mind, most people usually fast forward to some episode of Office Space where the main characters are wearing tight fitting, high-water, pleated front, brown cotton pants.  This absolutely should not be the case.  Khakis or Chinos are not only functional but, when worn properly,...

The Playoffs

I love the NBA Playoffs. It is exciting to watch the most talented teams battle it out to make the Finals. Picking my favorite teams and rooting them to victory is exhilarating. But, the teams are not the only competition I follow.  I also get excited seeing what the announcers... Read More

Suspended

I was browsing through the latest People will I landed on a photo of Beyonce in suspenders.  I wanted to scream “NO”.  Although, I personally like suspenders (and I think she looks great), I am afraid that people will latch on to this celebrity style and end up looking like... Read More

It’s My Party

A couple of years ago when I owned a clothing store, I had a “purse party”.  This was a chance for my customers to exchange their high-end, “only carried it for a season” designer handbags with those who had similar taste.  It was a fun time and folks got some... Read More

The Millionaire Matchmaker

I love watching The Millionaire Matchmaker!  While I’m not a big fan of Patti’s style (her skirts are always too short and make her look disproportioned), I think she gives pretty good advice to the guys. However, the other day, she told a guy to lose the cufflinks.  Uh, HELLO Patti. ... Read More

Not just for the beach.

You’ve heard the word and you’ve seen the pattern. The question remains if you’ve been able to put the two together. Madras. It’s that bright plaid pattern that you are used to seeing on board shorts and dare I say, yes jackets. But this spring a skinny madras tie is... Read More
