Must-See Valentino Flim

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Last week I rented the newly released documentary “Valentino: The Last Emperor” and it is a must-see for anyone who is remotely interested in fashion.  The film follows the designer from his 70th birthday to his final couture show and it provides a rare opportunity to witness the brilliant designer’s creative process.  Other highlights for [...]

Robeworks

Monday, September 28th, 2009

Years ago when I went on vacation with my husband I fell in love with the robes in the spa at the Four Seasons in Costa Rica. They were made of silky smooth microfiber with a super thirsty terry-cloth lining and were light weight and amazing. Obviously, I found out what the company [...]

Autumn in Cleveland

Friday, September 25th, 2009

September is my absolute favorite month.  The weather is still beautiful but there is that faint crisp feeling in the air, the trees are starting to change colors, apple picking season begins, and the colorful spring fashions are hitting the runways in New York.  What’s not to love?  Two of my other favorite fall things [...]

Wedding White

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

I have been to a couple of weddings this summer, and one thing that never ceases to amaze me is that there is always that one guest, or even worse, immediate family member, who for some reason thinks that it is acceptable to wear white or ivory. Now I try not to have many [...]

Size DOES Matter!

Monday, September 14th, 2009

One of my biggest fashion pet peeves is the fact that most women are so fixated on the size they think they are that they neglect to buy clothing that actually fits them. This phenomena recently reared its ugly head while I was in NY last weekend. I was checking out the infamous [...]

Rachel Zoe Hearts Vintage

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

I will admit that one of my guilty pleasures (and I have many of them!) is the Rachel Zoe Project on Bravo. I am completely obsessed. Despite everything the media says about her being too skinny and feeding clients horse tranquilizers, I think that her show is fabulous. I mean seriously. [...]
