It’s seems almost apropos that the minute I’m inspired to write about the stylish trend of Peacock motifs, I would find an article claiming that the male peacock’s elaborate plumage perhaps has much less to do with attracting it’s mate then had always been thought. Instead a scientific study done on Indian Peacocks and Peahens [...]

I must admit I forgot all about the Emmy’s this past Sunday night- the weather was just way too beautiful here in NY to sit inside so I missed my normal oogling of the stars as they made their way down the red carpet.  Lucky for me the NY Times posted a wonderful rundown of [...]

I wish I had some exciting news colorwise to report from last nights VMA’s ( though Taylor and Beyonce both appearing in red after the Kanye debacle did feel a little like synchronicity!) but all and all after a quick run through of the photos- to me, most of the fashions were as ridiculous as [...]

Ever since I first caught sight of Ginger rocking a leopard print evening gown on Gilligan’s Island and Holly Golightlty’s bachlorette zebra print rug in Breakfast at Tiffany’s-I’ve been obsessed with animal prints.  For me animal prints= flirty,fun and confident.

What caught my eye this week was the display created by Andrea and Preston [...]

The issue, which features a gorgeous Jennifer [...]

I am overwhelmed by the talent that all these actors and musicians have. Not only are they award winning and rich, but they continue to flex their creative design muscles.
I’ve been preoccupied with fashion week coverage and was surprised to see my favorite designer, Dame Vivienne Westwood, had made a compilation album of music, which she [...]

It’s that time again.  Fall fashion week in NYC!  Like a shot of strong espresso, this event always seems to provide the city with a much needed jolt as it shakes off it’s last bit of summer laziness and prepares for a busy Autumn season.
Each morning, I’ve been happily perusing the images of the various [...]
