Did You Check Your Rearview Mirror?

Maybe you instantly went to a car rear-view mirror….or maybe movie buffs might have thought of Hitchcock’s 1954 movie   “Rear Window”. Actually, I want you to remember if you actually checked your own personal rear-view in the mirror before leaving home! In my lifelong observation of people, their looks, how they carry themselves, their personality…

Pssst….The Plaids Don’t Match!

It was a moment I will never forget.  Forever etched in my mind. Let’s just say a long, long time ago…. Sitting completely still listening to a concert I look over at the person a few rows in front of me. Not understanding why at first I don’t feel pleasure.  Then it hits…Her jacket plaids…

The Heart Knows

 My heart knew I was a designer…. before it ever dawned on me.  At least my dolls knew.   Barbie and Skipper were my muses.  Ken was my first willing male model.   Like Cinderella, I lived in my own little world imagining elaborate stories.  Hours upon hours I created designs for whatever story or…

Compromising Look

I recently watched a striking woman enter the building entrance with her teenage sons.  Tall, notably fit, defined shoulders and arms, slender buttocks and long legs, even a stylish hair cut… She had all the makings for being able to wear anything. What began as striking upon entering the room, instead led to my own…

I Saw Red!

In the midst of the action, I saw it! I was struck by the color.   The blur of red soles created their own choreography down the court. I focused my eye to the uniformity.   As they moved between players, the other team seemed out of step. I knew they were Nike by the…

All Things Equal in Style

All things equal….in style.   Fresh looks for men this weekend are equally important. Entertaining a look with friends, casual dining or strolling the beach.   The 3.1 Philip Lim Spring 2014 outfit above had me pause to take a closer look. Yes, the navy/white color combination is a classic win. However, the sweater/knit top had me…

Savor the Weekend!

Can you feel it!   For most, you are within hours of an honest-to-goodness holiday ‘get away‘.  Whether actual or of mindset. Welcome the sunshine, picnics, ball games, even boating! Inhale.  Exhale.   Smile! I will find myself by the water……..somewhere!  With a book. and an observer’s eye taking in all the style, color, flavor…

Let’s Hear it For The Men’s… Spring Clothes

I AM INSPIRED MY WOMEN’S & MEN’S CLOTHES EQUALLY! I DESIGN CLOTHING FOR WOMEN AND MEN.  (Nods to my memorable education at NYC’s Fashion Institute of Technology in Men’s Design & Marketing). When I see well constructed and well designed clothing on men or women, my eyes follow.  Can’t help it.      It is…

Spring Style to Be Found

Pinterest is a marvelous social media platform.  For creative artists as myself it is where I create inspiration boards, fashion and artistry, as well as seasonal boards of fashion pins “That Got My Attention”. I review seasonal designer runway collections from major fashion cities such as New York City, London, Milan, Paris, Tokyo, and Sao Paulo.…
