Spring 2013 is filled with lots of bold graphics in a wide array of colors. There are numerous color combos to choose from including yellow and white, blue and orange and one of my absolute favorites black and white. The juxtaposition of these two hues are so right.   So.o.o if your looking for some graphic gratification in fashion give black and white a try -I have no doubt it will look FABU on you!  (all photos courtesy of Saks.com on Pinterest). 

I have always had a “penchant for pretty.” One of the most flattering and feminine looks today is the maxi skirt. You can do so much with this item -  dress it up with a beautifully tailored jacket, frilly blouse or sequin sweater. Dress it down with a simple tee or short cardigan. Any which way you decide to wear this item it’s sure to have your fashion quotient “maxed out…  

 It’s the weekend….Treat Yourself

Diane Von Furstenberg (1970′s)

The wrap dress has been a wardrobe staple since Diane Von Furstenberg first put pen to paper and sketched what would become the building block her fashion empire. Since DVF first brought the wrap dress to market in the 70′s it has been a fashion favorite for every woman in every season. Why the popularity? Because …it looks good on everyone. Yes, you heard me right EVRYONE can wear the wrap and look fabu! Skinny, plus size, tall… short..doesn’t matter EVERYONE looks great in a wrap. When in doubt opt to have a wrap dress in your closet and if you don’t have one already then put your pumps on and pound the pavements until you bring one of these wonderful wraps home.

I am still in recovery mode from my knee replacement surgery in December. I’ve had to make a lot of fashion adjustments in the last few months to aid in my recovery ( no slim fitting pants-due to  knee swelling, no dresses above the knee due to the scar still heeling,no wearing any type of heel-I’m still trying to get my walk right so one can’t be sporting any type of heel when you are basically trying to learn to walk again).  It’s been a fashion challenge worthy of Project Runway… I had to finally buckle and embrace the fabulous flat as a footwear alternative. This of course brings me to today’s post-something for you my wonderful readers. I have found some pretty fun flats all under $50.00 at …(wait for it) The Gap.

Brad Gorski and Rachel Zoe in happier days…

Could it be true that Rachel Zoe and her former assistant Brad Gorski are back together again. Yes…well-sort of. Ya see Rachel and Brad both have reality shows and now Bravo has paired the two back to back on Wednesday night. Brad’s show-It’s a Brad Bard World and Rachel’s Show-The Rachel Zoe Project  will be part of a full night of fashion on Bravo. This is the second season for Brad’s reality show -as we watch Brad expand his styling business and Rachel is knee deep in her sixth season with drama to ensue when her clothing line is rumored to be sputtering. Oh the drama..oh the fashion. When all is said in done we all hope that someday soon Rachel and Brad can put aside any hard feelings that transpired when Brad decided to go out on his own and Rachel felt less than appreciated. Let bygones be bygones and in doing so we will all be cheering for you both to succeed. In fact we might just be found chanting Bravo!
