Looking like that Tom Petty video, Alexandre’s collection consisted of checkerboards and check patterns. There was enough checkerboard to keep about 100 2nd graders busy playing chess. Seriously, if you want to entertain small children, wear one of these outfits and lay flat while they play checkers. You’ll be a …

I think Thom Browne is the most interesting and original designer of New York Fashion Week. Seriously, almost every NY designer showing their collection is so bland and conventional. Moving on, I loved the halo bottomed skirt. I got married in a halo bottomed skirt and it totally looked like …

Toile du Jouy is one of my favorite patterns ever! I know it can be all granny looking, but I think it’s so elegant. Plus, I love matching my outfit to the tea set, lounging chair and drapes in my surroundings. I guess it’s my way of camouflaging? Hmm. Anywho, …

Every collection Marchesa puts out I just adore and want every dress. I don’t think they’ve ever designed on FUG dress like, ever. This season, they really kept with the pastels and wispy, free-flowing gowns with a good measure of full length gowns with a dramatic lower half. The lacework …

Uta Levan  is a New York-based fashion label that specializes in art wear. The last photo is a 4 piece ensemble with a crucified Spiderman on the back. That is sure to make 8 year old boys (or 35 year old geeks) everywhere scream and crying  in terror. The first photo …

I had the pleasure of going to the Tim Burton exhibit at LACMA again. I saw the exhibit last year in NYC, but wanted to take my son to see it in LA. Above is what I wore…. It’s sort of a bizarro-goth look, I guess? The dress is from …

I stumbled upon this site by accident and it was totally meant to be!! I have been searching for vintage tea towels of Rhode Island for a couple years now. Martha Stewart had a whole article on it in her magazine. I scoured vintage stores and flea markets across the …
