    Not Your Typical Fashion Bloggers: Women Who Kick A**

    Tuesday, March 19, 2013

      Tavi /Gala In my article about Women Who Inspire, I explore the idea of one woman’s crusade to make a difference in her life, as well as, others.  In a recent research project I had the chance to closely look at two veteran fashion bloggers who are raising-the-bar on how WOMEN can make a difference and feel good about who they are without changing a thing about themselves.  Can you imagine the refreshing notion that one can avoid measuring oneself to anyone by embracing who…

    Exploring New Delhi, India through way of “Sourcing at Magic Marketplace”                           Sourcing at Magic this past February was another in a line of successful trips filled with endless resources that I am still filing through.  Efforts on confirming trends for Fall 2013 and Spring 2014, as well as compiling a buyer resource guide for upcoming seasons, were highlighted. Since the fashion industry relies on forecasters to work in real-time now, Sourcing at WWD…

    Rethinking Vintage: Are the 80′s and 90′s fashion vintage?

    Tuesday, March 12, 2013

    To find out the answer to this question it becomes apparent that it depends on whom you ask.  I have inquired about the definition of vintage in reference to the 80’s and 90’s from everyone; from established fashion directors in New York, Montreal, and Los Angeles to professors at FIT and Woodbury University, television costume designers (Glee – CSI New York), vintage collectors, fashion bloggers, and the twenty-something shoppers in multi-shopping locations in the US and the UK.  I have found one very interesting revelation…

    Dressing Up Is To Exercise Your Creativity #WomenWhoInspire

    Monday, January 28, 2013

    What is Style? “On one hand everyone wants to look like everyone else on the other hand everyone thinks they are such individuals.” Let’s explore the world of breaking the mold on how women should grow old gracefully! Understanding these women and hearing their stories makes me less fearful of getting older.  Style to them is internal and can never be lost with age. Take a peek at the trailer of the documentary film by Ari Seth Cohen and Lina Plioplyte called “Advanced Style .”   The…

    Women Who Inspire

    Wednesday, January 16, 2013

    A new breed of women… Today’s post is inspired by Hearts On Fire (HOF) Diamonds who have been kind enough to let me explore the world of the modern woman.  I am a loyal HOF owner myself, with my wedding ring of 12 years prominently on my finger.  My feature today is about Bonnie Scudder, who is also a HOF loyalist.  She too received her first HOF diamond from her husband on their wedding anniversary.  When my husband first bought the diamond he explained to…

    Fashion + Art: History of the Bag

    Saturday, December 29, 2012

    DISCOVERING THE ART OF THE BAG.. Shopping over the holidays I felt the need to explore my vintage hide-outs to locate the perfect vintage clutch.  After testing the numerous clutches, I discovered one offered an amazing manufacturer’s guarantee. This wasn’t your typical guarantee, this clutch would be mended of any defect in materials and workmanship.  Mind you this was from the 60′s but for $1 they would mend or replace your clutch.  Taking pride in workmanship and truly guarantee your craft is something more companies…

    Decades brings us our first love… CHANEL®

    Thursday, December 6, 2012

    Decades boutique is the world’s leader in vintage and modern pre-loved luxury clothing and accessories.  We all love the specially curated collections at Decades but this weekend they feature another love… CHANEL.     Interview with Cameron Silver: What does your “is it modern?” philosophy mean? “I do not like vintage clothes that look, well, vintage. I look at vintage as inspiration, so an Edwardian dress must be relevant to a 21st-century woman and not look like a costume.” When is vintage vintage? And why did…

At the Soho House in West Hollywood, guests were greeted with an invitation to an intimate dinner with the stunning duo behind the Tiffany’s leather collection, designers Richard Lambertson and John Truex. Tiffany & Co. had a way of making my first dinner with them a “night to remember.” The cocktail hour gave each guest a chance…
