My shoe obsession is nothing new and a very common trait among women, but shoes are more than just accessories to me.  They can make or break an outfit, and they can sometimes be a more important statement than the outfit itself.  I'm quite sure that my obsession goes even deeper to the way that shoes make me feel.  I have my "sexy" shoes, my "sporty" shoes, my "not feeling so glamorous" shoes,

I started browsing the J. Crew catalog in high school, sadly to say before clicking through styles was mainstream.  I remember the clothier as a champion of the chunky sweater, henley and crew neck cotton shirts, and an unmatched selection of Chinos.  I owned the two pocket, the front pocket, the flannel-lined, you name it.  It wasn't until after a few years of loving their incredibly soft

Don't think you can't look just as beautiful as the bride or as handsome as the groom when you're attending a summer wedding.  You can!  Beside that, you're style can be so much more flirtatious than the white dress and black tux.  Your ability to play with cocktail wear also shows your ability to be the sensationally fun wedding guest (think Wedding Crashers gone super chic).  So when you're

Among the many wonderful gifts I received for my birthday, I was definitely delighted with some gift cards to my favorite clothing stores.  I'm often a bargain shopper, finding a way to maximize my purchases either by price or utility, so this experience was sure to be the same.  I went for utility with this shopping spurt and gathered items on my list of summer essentials.  I didn't forget about

Living in America, such a plentiful land of pride and freedom, one would think that we would be pretty much self-sufficient, but the truth is, we're not at all.  I buy tomatoes from Mexico, shrimp from Vietnam, toys from China, and clothes from India, Indonesia, etc.  My Ralph Lauren frames are even made in Italy.  So, where's all the American made goods?  I understand that not everything can be

Though I'm always mesmerized by the avant-garde styles and unlikely silhouettes of the runway, translation for the everyday woman is usually a necessity.  In the case of this week's Chanel's 2011 Resort Show in St. Tropez, I've found no need for translation.  Lagerfeld's genius can be plucked from the runway models and easily adorned on any vacationing man or woman, with some styles even casual

I fell in love with a man I'd never met when I was four years old, and I dabbed his designer perfume behind my ears at the tip of my jawbone, just like a Southern lady should.  It was my grandmother's Oscar Eau de Toilette, the signature scent that will never go out of style, and it was the smell of heaven.  As I've grown, I've fallen even more in love with the designer and both his classic and

It's designer quality, designer styles, and it's a few steps away from your mascara and body wash! I'm talking about Zac Posen for Target, and they didn't stop there; Jean Paul Gaultier was one of the first for their GO International™ campaign, and Jemma Kidd's makeup collection offers department store quality at a very affordable price. We can view it as one of two things: an offering to

The word "organic" has become much more common in the past 10 years.  It's not just a term we hear in science class anymore; it's become a dealbreaker for many in their shopping habits.  One of my best friends is not a pure organic shopper, but she does carry around a list of items in her purse that must be bought organic, the "dirty dozen" she calls them.  Following this very justified trend in

I've been thinking about what would attract men to my blog, and haven't come up with much.  I've wondered if some men find shame with being interested in fashion.  Men can easily utter the full name, hometown, last season's stats, and more of their favorite football player, but when it comes to their clothes, it's a different story.  Asking a man who he is wearing bears a distinct difference

"Florals? For spring? Ground breaking."  Her sarcasm was infectious, but maybe her idea should have been more so.  Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada spoke a truth about Spring attire that's not always followed.  I definitely think I want to be her when I grow up; she's powerful, brash, and strikingly eccentric, but most of all she's got all the right ideas about style.  Floral prints for

“36-24-36, ha-ha only if she’s 5’3”…” minus a couple inches for me, but Sir Mix-a-Lot had it just about right.  He’s sure got my back, and if you’re petite, he's probably got yours, too.  But, he’s on the short list of people who actually do understand the petite figure.  The rapper knew what was hot then, and one thing is still for sure: petite is in! Shopping petite can be a miserable
