Fiorucci, Banarama, and Rubber Bracelets…why is fall fashion obsessed with the 80’s?? The  current fall 2009 fashion shows were in sync.  One must ask was Gucci and Marc Jacobs drinking the same water? Did they both pull out their Psychedelic Furs, Blondie and Culture Club records? Does recession mean dress up and act crazy?  Its all Fun! Dayglo, Polka Dots and all…check out the colorful makeup and wild hair. Brings back flashbacks, not flashdance(the un-80’s)!

Check it Out!

It takes alot to get me to shop now, along with the rest of the world, but I will confess to being a shopaholic!  I have  been trying to be “on the wagon”, but i know Spring is on its way and I need new…now!! The image that came my way, through the Americana shopping catalog from Manhassett Long Island, my old stomping ground…I mean shopping ground is from Lacoste.

This is a must have…a staple.  Try a color or get it just how you see it. It is a new slim fitting style of a old classic, and its chic! The small gator is just enough to know without the horrid bite of a logo you wish crawled back into the swamp.  Click here to purchase!

Champagne Campaign

TOAST to the best fashion campaign of the season! As the seasons change, one of my favorite “rites of passage” is to RUN to the glossies to see all the new fashion campaigns. Is it going to be Gucci, Prada, Dolce, Burberry or Calvin? There is only one per season that is a wow! It grabs you like something you never felt before. The models, the clothes , the location or just the colors!

And ladies and gentleman and silver foxes,the winner for spring 2009 is… GUCCI!!  GET LOST IN THE GUCCI JUNGLE

BLACK NIGHT-THE DYNAMIC DUO

When all else fails go black…that’s what Brad and Angelina did on the red carpet this week. Since Oscar did not make it to their laps that night, I want to give them my award for best dressed.  They win for their bold statement in plain old black (with some chic emeralds thrown in for color). When one must choose from every color in the rainbow, and from every designer on every continent, it is best to go to black. Double black that is!!!

Calvin’s Platinum Silver Fox

Let Calvin take it to a beyond place, with his return to stardom with his COLLECTION line.  What a better way to start a new beginning than with a silver fox!!  This high-end collection never looked so good and will keep us all wanting it. We may have to sneak into his Madison Ave boutique, but don’t tell…we may have to spend.


Smooth Operator

One of the most important body parts are your hands. we do use them everyday !!! Now boys this is not for the girls only. Our hands are just as important. The month of February can be one of the roughest and coldest of the winter, so why not smooth it over with the best?

The masculine brown/black packaging of Jo Malone Vitamin E hand treatment is the best. Go for it ! It’s just the treat you need.

Stone Age

For some strange reason it is always good to know who the model of the moment is… we always want to know who the next Linda, Kate, Cindy or Naomi is in converstation. We all love saying “I’ve known about her for awhile now”. Don’t ask why this “information” is so useful, but trust me it will be down the road. The name is LARA STONE, stone that is! This reptilian blond is having a Stone Age Moment. She is worshiped by the fashion world to such an extent that she was featured in February 2009 PARIS VOGUE and was photograpghed in various spreads by some of the world’s best photograpghers. CHECK it out. It is worth the $15.95 pricetag. Just think of it as ART!!
