When I saw the variety of hats come down the designer’s runways for spring/summer 2019, I began thinking. I rummaged through my closet and found 1, 2, 3 bucket hats! These hats date back to the late 1980’s to the 90’s. As you know fashion is cyclical. Most designs repeat themselves at least twice in a lifetime. This summer it’s…

This year the Met Gala was a little confusing for me. First some of the celebrities who usually show up were noticeably absent. Secondly, I didn’t really understand the theme and the celebrities who walked the carpet looked ridiculous at best. I did a little research on understanding what Camp is and the red carpet began to make more sense.…

The spring handbags have been in a store for a while but people are now out and about shopping since the weather has been nice. There are so many choices I guess you buy based on the occasion. What I was surprised about was fanny packs and belt bags. They made their debut in 2018 after years and years but…

I love shoes! I’ve been called a shoehound which is fine with me!!  We are now in another season and most of us want to add a shoe or 2, or 3 to our current collection. Anyway, below are some of the many styles that are featured this spring.  I’ve seen honeycomb sneakers, feathered mules, chunky sandals, espadrilles, tortoise shell…

I always loved spring; the problem is we really don’t get spring weather anymore. The last few days gave me that “spring vibe” so I think that’s a good thing! In terms of clothes the designers showed their collections months ago. Now that those fashions have been in the stores since January or February, I think most of us are…

I love a “little black dress” for formal or semi-formal events! The LBD is traced as far back as to the designer, Chanel.  They are very versatile that’s why I like them. Most women have at least 1 LBD in their closet that is long lasting, some affordable, some not. Now a days many women have more than 1! I…

Faux fur is popular again. What I have learned is that there are responsible ways that are government-mandated to breed animals for food and the fur industry. While PETA sanctions faux fur, many of the manufactured furs are created from non-biodegradable chemical based synthetics. Is there any manufacturing that is done considering our planet?? We as a country have to…

This year was the 91st Academy Awards aka The Oscars. The decision was made to go with no host because of the Kevin Hart “scandal of “ no apologies.” But what I saw of the show it seemed as though it was an ok without one. The red carpet was glamorous with a lot of pink. Many of the dresses…

Many aren’t aware of Tracy Reese, a fashion designer with a successful ready-to- wear line. She’s born and raised in Detroit and as a child she made clothes. She always says “I get my eye for fashion from my mother,” She is a graduate of Parsons School of design in NYC. Her work experience includes: Martine Sitbon and Perry Ellis…

You know the Grammys come around every year and the people who love and follow fashion are going to check out the red carpet and the red carpet didn’t disappoint this year! There were some weird costumes and outfits but my 4 picks were quite tame for the music business. I felt the gowns were figure flattering and color choices…
