Great Day for Fashion!

Sunday, April 29th, 2012

The Pfister hotel’s artist in residence program has housed painter after painter. But finally in a change of pace the people voted for a close family friend of mine, Timothy Westbrook, a costume designer. He has made costumes for the play The Magic Flute, and uses recycled materials in his outfits and fabrics. I saw a fabric with cassette tape woven into it when I went to his gala opening. The hotel is gorgeous and so are his designs.

Standout Nails

Wearing the same color on your hands and feet looks so cliche and predictable. A better strategy is to use colors that either compliment each other or make each other stand out. I like red and nude for sophistication or violet and lemon to look fun. Silver and gold look super luxe together, while black and neon look rock chic.

Ever seen one of those giant cell phone case kiosks  in the mall? I love those ! But sometimes they only carry cases for iPhones. If you do not have an iPhone, look on  Amazon.com. That’s where I found my pink leopard print case for my Samsung Brightside.

4 Classics

Friday, April 6th, 2012

There are a few items in your closet that are always great to have. They will never go out of style, and will always be chic.

  • Animal prints. Who knew a classic could look so cool?
  • Crisp white button-up  shirts.Throw them over, wear them under.
  • Ballet flats. Low to the ground, but still okay for dressier occasions.
  • Skinny jeans in a dark wash. Goes with everything.
