Runway Report: Camilla and Marc | New York Fall 2019 RTW

By

Divine Proportion had divine Fashion Week timing! The Golden Ratio is said to be the inspiration for the collection. The golden ratio,  I think we all remember from the Fibonacci sequence from math? It is the sequence of the Nautilus shell, flower petals, DNA, and most everything in nature. In design, it is the Pyramids of Giza; Michelangelo’s Creation in the Sistine Chapel, and Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, and on… Basically anything in nature has this…

She was abducted from the earth by Hades,  God of the Underworld, and forced every year to leave the lush green earth and spend 3 months underground, which in essence started Fall and progressed to Winter.

Down with Winter

By

Down: the very thought of it invokes comfort and warmth.  We sleep with down pillows and down comforters and we wear down coats to keep us warm and comfy. Everyone has their down parka they wear all the time. That’s not what you will find here.  This is about designers who taken down to the next level, who’ve reinvented and reimagined it into different shapes, styles, uses, and items.  These Fashion Houses have made it…

Holiday Gift Guide 2018 | Women

By

Gifts are your chance to give her something that she wouldn’t buy herself or something that she’s always wanted.

The geometric lines meet with a Vintage inspiration to form a very unique silhouette. The Mark Cross Nicole Stingray And Gold-Plated Brass Bag is retro-glamor…

Holiday Gift Guide 2018 | Men

By

As a Stylist I have many male clients. I am also asked by my female and male clients to buy gifts for men. For some reason, people always find giving gifts to men challenging. I find it fun! It’s always one of my favorite gift guides to do.  Many men wear sneakers when they are dressing casually or even going out at night, because they don’t want to wear their work shoes. Here is an…

Experience Father’s Day! | Gift Guide 2018

By

This Fathers’ Day why not try something different? Why not gift an experience? Perhaps the man you are gifting has always wanted to try some new activity or perhaps you could introduce them to a hobby or interest of your own. Either way, it is sure to be an enjoyable and most memorable experience. I love gifting experiences.  It’s the equivalent of giving the extravagant gift you really want to buy for yourself and never…

Mother’s Day Gift Guide 2018

By

The evasive Mother’s Day gift. Exactly! This year be E-vasive and buy a truly beautiful Vase online.  On Mother’s Day our typical go-to present is to give flowers. I find that when I have given a bouquet of flowers for a Hostess, Birthday, or special occasion, there is a plethora of generic vases from past presents to use. Although there is a place for a glass cube or cylinder, there is also a place for…

Holiday Gift Guide 2017 | Toast The Host!

By

We all know it is polite to give the host a gift when going to a party or staying in their home. A gift of a bottle of liquor or a box of candy is usual and perfectly acceptable. Perhaps something a bit more interesting might be the gift to give this year. As the saying goes, ‘candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker…’combine the two and it’s actually delicious – who knew! Alcoholic Sweets….
