Clothing, like sex, should be thoroughly pleasurable or there is really no point in wearing them - or having it — at all. Susie Ostrov I love Rock N’Roll and no designer personifies Rock n’ Roll better these days than Rick Owens. I do not own one piece of his clothing but just as I once [...]
Middle-aged men may have their mistresses and their sports cars, I have a new pink bike that has given me my youth back! I bought my Electra Townie about a month ago and I cannot get enough of riding around town on it. Everyone stops me to tell me how cute my bike is… do [...]
I see so many beautiful dresses, jackets, shoes, purses, necklaces and I admit that I want to own them all. Being a consumer can be fulfilling but it can also feel a little gross when one overindulges — just like eating too many Oreos. At some point there is definitely a diminishing return on your investment. Afterall, [...]
I have always loved chic, small-fitting leather jackets. I like a biker styled jacket or a bomber jacket when coupled with a feminine dress or classic pants, so that the look doesn’t become too “hard” or costumey. I own a gorgeous black, shiny leather jacket with long sleeves purchased many years ago that I put with [...]
I’ve started riding my bike a lot lately (see my blog: I Feel Lucky Because I Love My Bike) and feel good that I really am reducing my carbon footprint, at least a litttle. It’s everyone’s responsibility to do what they can to help our environment. But what about the our responsibility to create an [...]
Theory has been one of my favorite design groups for some time. Their dresses are wonderful for their fabric, fit and flexibility (daytime, evening, casual or dressy). Theory never over-designs so you can add your own style to each piece, or leave them simple (little or no jewelry, etc…) and know that you are always [...]
They’re gorgeous, unique, well-made and never out of style. Yes, they’re expensive but once you own a pair, you’ll never regret the price you paid. Check out Styledrops.com for almost the entire collection and a great variety of sizes, Neimans, Saks, Barneys and Bergdorf’s all carry some Pradas, and Miu Mius, too. Some are not [...]
Platform Shoes: They give me height, aren’t crippling, so I can actually walk far in them and they’re always great looking. Big Necklaces: Why wear jewelry that doesn’t have an impact? A great necklace added to a simple top or dress makes an outfit. I love to wear the same dress again and again but [...]
When putting together a wardrobe, whether it be for work, parties, casual events, daytime wear or for exercise, the simplest is always the best. Find what you’re comfortable in and stick with it. For example, I prefer black workout clothing because I am busty and black slims the bust and. I sweat a lot and [...]
This is what I feel about rules when it comes to how to dress…just throw out the book and start fresh. There are no real rules. Of course, if you work in an office or hold a position where certain codes of behavior and appearance are necessary, you cannot show up to your job in [...]
