Just in time for Summer and maybe to inspire you to put a little pep in your step for the week ahead, I want to highlight a fun and fanciful collection from Max Mara Nantucket Weekend .

The Nantucket Collection is a collaboration between Max Mara and Interior designer Anthony Baratta ( known for his vibrant colors, and flamboyant motifs).

Originally sourced and featured in French Vogue(where I first spotted the beautiful pics) it’s been a bit of a challenge linking you directly to each piece. I have found a few items still available on the Saks (Fifth Avenue site) and Matches Fashion.com. Pre Sell must have been brisk!

At the end of the day I hope you will find the pieces inspirational and perhaps motivate you to mix up your Summer attire a bit to include some unexpected patterns and colors.

Here’s to putting a little POP of color in your day and …your wardrobe.

Happy Sunday.

In case you need a breath of Spring, might I suggest a sneak peak at the Lela Rose Spring 2019 Collection. You’ll find soft colors in feminine silhouettes,detailed to perfection. Can we just say Lovvving!

It’s almost the middle of March and I think we can all agree that Spring cannot come fast enough. It’s been a long Winter and if you’re anything like me-you cannot wait to start wearing some major color and embracing Spring fashion.

One of my favorite collections for Spring 2019 is by Sachin & Babi. The designs are classic yet stylish and uber colorful. Enjoy!

” Karl was passionate, powerful and intensely curious.”

Today, the House of Chanel mourns the loss of it’s legendary designer Karl Lagerfeld. Reports surfaced early this morning announcing his passing from pancreatic cancer at the age of 85.

Mr. Lagerfeld, was the creative director of Chanel from 1983 until his death. He was also the creative director of the Italian fur and leather goods fashion house of Fendi, in addition to his own eponymous fashion label.

Mr. Lagerfeld, leaves behind an extraordinary legacy as one of the greatest designers of our time.

*#Coincidence or not…Interesting facts-the number 19 in relation to Chanel

Mr. Lagerfeld, passed on February 19, 2019. Coco Chanel (the founder of the House of Chanel was born on August 19,1883. The last fragrance Coco Chanel launched was Chanel #19.

New York Fashion Week (Fall 2019) just wrapped and one of my favorite collections was presented by Naheem Khan.

The collection for Fall 2019 was filled with sparkle and beautiful details. Here’s a sneak peak courtesy of Vogue.com.

Paging… Diana Frey. Diana are you there?

Hello Glamour Girls. If you visit this blog on any sort of continuous basis you know I have a major penchant for sharing some pretty things especially when they have a bit of bling. I mean, what would life be without a little (or a lot of SPARKLE). Answer…not nearly as pretty! And Glamour Girl we are ALL about THE PRETTY!

Recently, I shared on my personal Facebook page a photo featuring the most beautiful heart frame boxes designed by mixed media jewelry artist extraordinaire- Diana Frey. Try as I may to “pin” her down to purchase said item(s) listed on Flickr and advertised on Pinterest,, I came to a total standstill. Not to be detoured from my intention to find Ms. Frey, I sourced her via Flickr (where I emailed her to get info) her Etsy shop (which has been down as she is taking “a short break”) and her Facebook page which I cannot seem to locate with numerous listing for Diana Frey, NONE of which seem to be the wonderful artist in demand. In an effort to not be reported as an internet crazy person/stalker …I will wait the recommended 3 day grace period and reach out again via Etsy which still lists an email address. Fingers crossed that maybe just maybe we will make contact.

In the meantime,I’ve posted a sampling of her designs. One look and I think you’ll agree her designs are beautiful and oh so sparkly. If you’re out there Diana Frey we must find you and your jewelry.

Paging…Diana Frey.

If you’re looking for a really good reason to get out of town and want some major fashion pablum to boot I suggest you book your next flight for… London. (Trust me on this one. I promise, you won’t be disappointed.

They say that the 90’s are back.

When it comes to Chanel, I wonder if they ever left…

Chanel is  a classic.  This 1991 Chanel Jacket  worn by Supermodel Naomi Campbell looks like she is walking the Runway today.

Proof that Chanel is truly Timeless.
