Bright Summer Pieces Remedy Fashion Blues
Everyone remembers the amazing closet in the movie Clueless. For those of you who won’t admit to seeing it, after selecting her outfit on her computer, it rotated just like your dry cleaners putting her outfit together. As if anyone’s closet could do that.
Your closet might not be big enough to rotate, but it can still be your dream closet that makes you smile every time you open it’s door. Start doing these 5 things and watch the magic transformation.
Who isn’t on the ultimate lifetime search for a wallet that actually works? It is one of my strongest memories of my dad: his search for the perfect wallet! Every time we were in a store that had men’s goods, my dad would riffle through wallets looking for the Z-wallet. I know because I asked him one day why he didn’t just buy one of the many wallets he had just examined. With disgust, he told me none were worthy. Then he explained the perfect men’s wallet to me. The Z design & why that design worked for him. I was very young then but understood that wallets were off the table as a gift option for my dad.
Then, I grew up and discovered ...
Ah, it’s time for fall…cooler weather, deeper colors, richer fabrics, scarves, boots and change. Being in the south, we have yet to see the cooler weather, but I’m assured it’s coming. As for fall fashions, they are here. The theme this fall is “Anything Goes.” With so much uncertainty in every facet of the world, fashion designers are leading a revolt to take back some control (?? Are the fashion designers taking control or giving control to the wearers?) in our fashion lives by challenging traditionally acceptable styles. Standard fashion guidelines are out with last season’s fashion trends, and you are in the designer chair. “Must Haves” trends are almost endless. Let’s just say it will be hard ...
Dad’s are awesome! My dad was the best dad ever. I still have people randomly stop me to tell me how much they loved my dad, his big heart, humor & 1000 watt smile. He even put up with some pretty lack-luster gifts over the years for Christmas, his birthday & Father’s Day pretending they were all totally awesome. See pic above. My grandfather behind him is even laughing at the pants & shirt he received. What did we know? We were a house full of girls trying to shop for a man before the internet, Facebook, Instagram or Pinterest. It was inevitable blahness at gift giving time.
There were sweaters, ties, boxers, khakis & even socks. Gifts were so bad, he started ...
Are you living with a boring builder’s closet? Is it lacking …seriously lacking? Do you wish you could do just about anything to make it more custom but don’t have thousands of dollars? Do you wish you could just stretch it like Stretch Armstrong & make it bigger?
Your wish is granted….with a little effort on your part…..ok, a lot of effort, but I promise it will be worth it. Just look at the Before & After pictures above to see that even a modestly organized, builder’s closet can become a stylish boutique closet with a few stylish touches.
MATCHING CONTAINERS In your organizational tools, you want them all to match or compliment. Above, the taupe, silk bin was reused & ...
After dissecting the ladies Oscar 2015 red carpet fashions, it’s only fair that I look at all the eye candy, I mean men, who walked the same infamous red carpet. The new trend for men goes back to old Hollywood glamor. This is a good thing.
One gentleman taking this trend to the day-to-day is Thomas Mastronardi, CMO atPaul Stuart fine men’s clothing. Mr. Mastronardi noticed early on that the dapper gent always ended up with the beautiful girl in movies. If you’re female, your response to that is, “DUH!”. “There’s nothing better than a sharp dressed man”…..even with a long beard.
So here’s a look at my Top 10 Men’s Oscar Red Carpet Fashions.
It’s the big night. Almost as big as the night before Christmas. The anticipation for the winners of the Oscars & and the winners of fashion is electric. My mom & I watch it together every year deciding whose dress makes the cut…… at least in our eyes.
