"Style Learning Made Simple"
Remember the “Leisure Suit”? Remember Polyester? Polyester was the ‘magic fabric’. It didn’t wrinkle, didn’t fade, was inexpensive and would last a lifetime…heck several lifetimes. I remember my dad had a leisure suit and we thought he was cool. The problem with polyester was the stigma that came along with it. It was the 1970′s. [...]
Resort Wear and “Resort” Collections were originally created for the affluent who spent their winter holidays in warm-weather locations. Now resort wear is a special small collection produced by designers from Michael Kors to JCrew. Introduced in December and January resort wear is meant to be worn anywhere the climate permits.

Last week I wrote about colors for spring. This week I want to talk to you more about the ‘technical’ side of color and what I’m seeing in the market. For many years now, probably since about 2007, the words used to describe colors have been “vibrant, electric, saturated, lively, vivacious, [...]

When business casual swept across the country, “mix and match” ruled the [...]

Fashion Trends come and go and looking back on 2011, I don’t have a lot of complaints about what we’ve been offered up in fashion. We’ve seen the return of the dress trends begin to take up more floorspace and designers are giving us options in clothing for “real women”. Alas, there are some trends [...]
It has been a year of great fashion trends! Sometimes looking back, it is so much easier to see what you should have done or what you could have done better. Did you feel ‘stylish’ and on trend in 2011. Did you miss the mark? Were you ‘challenged by all the new options out there? [...]
