When I shop, I focus on purchasing items that are for ‘everyday’ use but don’t make me think of the ‘everyday’…so when I saw this grey wool sweater for $100 by Manoush [an emerging French label that blends bohemian and vintage edge] at farfetch.com, I had to share it! Because it’s grey, it goes great [...]
Yes, comfy yet still stylish and while I’d say a wonderfully fitted sweater with slightly longer sleeves would fill the call, the next best item is a beautifully constructed sweater dress…like this one by JCrew ($228). Although it’s not on sale, it can play double-duty on a Saturday with some lux tights and chunky mules, [...]
The season of parties and such are upon us and if you were scrambling last year (or even last week) to find the perfect bag to wear with your formal ‘little back dress’ or your gorgeous nude-colored ball gown or even your hip-hugging satin suit, now is the time to grab it! Whiting & Davis [...]
Well all of the studies done on multi-tasking indicate that we don’t really get any value-added out of it because we end up doing a lot of things mediocre…or one thing really good! But these Theory Poet Pants can indeed multi-task: pair them with fun sneakers and comfy flats and they’re ready to travel (use [...]

I love this ring and bracelet set by Paige Novick at LaGarconne. The cylindrical, double band ring is made of silver but has a black rhodium finish, and at $115 is a great value. The $335 single strand braided leather and silver bracelet has ring closure clamps. Separately they’re nice, but together they’re ‘ready to rumble’! Now [...]
She lives on for us fashion bloggers and personal stylists as well as the everyday ‘joe’ or ‘jane’ that goes into any store to purchase a white shirt, or black suit or anything where your goal is classic styling. Gabrielle didn’t invent the word, she simply lived the concept! So, what do we need to [...]
These are some of the items I love- some I have or may get eventually, and some I’ll never own but I still have a moment of pause when I see them. Enjoy!
These Ann Taylor embossed leather platform pumps in chocolate can make any business meeting more fun! For $175, the 4-inch pumps have a rounded toe which makes them more comfortable and they mean business!
This Roger Vivier leather bag can be had simply by calling Roger Vivier, NYC at 212-861-5371…and shelling out $3,500. A mere pittance to pay for such a wonderful bag with two-tone leather, gold hardware, and the signature square buckle by such a grand designer — or maybe not! For now, let’s just enjoy…
I’m Monica and anyone who knows me knows that I have grown up surrounded by style, fashion and personality! So, while I took a fairly circuitous route, I’m back where I belong.
