Every Lady Likes a Little Shine

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 [...]

Multi-tasking Pants

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 [...]

To Get Your Rough-and-Tough On

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 [...]

Gabrielle Chanel – Cuckoo for Coco

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 [...]

A Kid in a Candy Store

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!

Item to Ogle Over…

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…

Ted Baker Shoes

I’ve always noted Ted Baker London shoes for their quality construction and reliable sensibility but, this fall collection is FIERCE!  This picture highlights some of the must-haves for ANY stylish and sophisticated gentleman. *Note: prices are in pounds but once you’re in the website, you can make the conversion!

Brand by Body Type

This information will also be added to the Wardrobe Essentials section shortly but, why wait until then to read it…this is a quick-and-dirty guide to help the gentlemen when choosing a suit. If you’re slender and five feet ten then you can make just about anything work — this is really for the remaining 92.4% [...]

Men’s Item of the Week

I’m on the hunt for the perfect cargo pant and have yet to turn it up….for the ladies but I have found it for the gentlemen!  Remember when cargo pants used to be cool — and somehow they turned into a Saturday remnant to be worn if you didn’t have any clean jeans or to help [...]

Purse Addiction Just Won’t Stop

For the more monochromatic of us (and it can be wonderful because it creates a longer, leaner silhouette), I’m featuring this chocolate brown clutch from Cole Haan Genevieve collection.  This purse would normally be $300 but at guiltlesspurse.com, this purse is only $140 and because guiltlesspurse.com loves Blueprint, you get an additional 20% off so, [...]
