There’s nothing like a storm starting just as you leave the office to catch a bus home after working late into the evening to bring on a pity party. Fortunately, my outfit was just too cute for pity. Combining Honey Kitty and Schaudenfreude (just love that combination of words), I felt almost perky about the [...]
Short and Sweet! Not just the dress, the post as well. I am working late in RL and taking a few minutes just to post this outfit and let you judge it for yourselves. I went a little pared down on the accessories because the beaded collar straps eliminate the need and the advisability of [...]
Let’s clear one thing up first. I love polka dots. Not surprisingly, they are named after the dance, but only because at the time textile manufacturers were producing the polka dot fabrics, the polka was the hottest dance craze around. Just think, if polka dots had not come out then, but say in the 20’s [...]
People who live where it’s really hot know that the secret to dressing for hot weather is not wearing next to nothing but wearing loose, comfortable natural fibers that breathe and wick moisture away from your skin. The hotter it is, the more my colleagues from Bangladesh, India and the Philippines wear. So, learning from [...]
Nothing can bring an outfit to life faster than a bold retro print. Take this cute little jacket and skirt outfit from Miffyhoi Rosca at H&M. She sells it with a white v-neck crop top and it’s adorable. It has prim cuffs, collar and a bit of prim swing to the jacket as well. The [...]
So Gidge tells me my dress look it’s made of Swiss Cheese. I thought it looked like it had been made with a paper hole-puncher. Either way, I love the eccentric alignment and layering of a myriad of textures into this wildly detailed skirt prim. It moves and flows beautifully and is a perfect dress [...]
You know that song? It’s played in many films, dance competitions, it’s almost ubiquitous…the song that goes Hot! Hot! Hot! Well, that’s the song I heard in my head when I saw this new release, Franch Affair, from Digit Darkes in the color Dijon. Dijon! Not Mustard. A vibrant, bright summer heat wave of a [...]
I found this fun little poem by Brooke Freeman on PoemHunter. It’s not one you would find in Tiger’s Bookstore for Rare Books, but I like it anyway. This is just a taste, to read the entire poem, go here.
I Know Fashion

Models posing, critics complaining
Celebs shopping, paparazzi stalking

There’s the scent of roses in the air - yellow, lemony roses carried by the breeze from the church down the street. It made me want to put on something floral and summery and I thought of this dress right away. From Bianca Foulon, the draping dress in grape is a floral confection with a [...]
When I saw this dress, the Designer Sketch at Haute Style & Co, not only did I know it would end up in my inventory, I knew just where I wanted to photograph it. Such a whimsical dress needed to be shot in the heart of Parisian joie de vive, the Moulin Rouge. Inspired by [...]
