What's Your Scent?


As fall approaches we all start thinking about changing our wardrobe. We want to incorporate a few "must have" pieces of the season. We also know that it is time to hang up the linens and break out the corduroys and wools. I look forward to wearing more hats, like my wool fedora and my tweed newsboy cap. I also have a very cool beret that is just fabulous. A client actually gave it to me after I complimented her on how great it looked on her! Very sweet of her, I know. We begin to dust off our wool coats (or get them dry cleaned, which should have been done BEFORE we hung them up after that long 2008/2009 winter:-) But, there is something else that changes along with the season and that issssssss...............YOUR FRAGRANCE. I love love love the smell of the more woody, spicy, florals that are out there. And they scream FALL! I just love the way a fragrance can represent the woman who is wearing it. Fragrances are so interesting that way. I have come across a few new fragrances and some old classics that I just adore! They make me feel warm when I'm cold, happy when I'm sad, and glamorous even when I have to shovel my car out! I think the one for me this fall is going to be Prada's new fragrance L'Eau Ambree. It combines an intricate and fresh approach to the balancing of the notes of cedrat, rose de mai, and amber.The Sicilian citrus top note of cedrat is refreshing yet rich, giving an unexpected grace and balance to the fragrance. At the heart of the fragrance is rose de mai. Buttery, light, and above all sensual, it is the essence of femininity. The base notes consists of an evocative ambery dry down based on patchouli, vanilla and opoponax. Doesn't that sound beautiful to you?!

Fashion Is For Models. STYLE Is For Real Women.

The fashion world has always favored skinny models to show off the latest trends. But it's the real women who actually buy them. Why does this make sense? Well I guess when it comes right down to the brutal truth, people buy things that look good. And lets face it, clothes look better when they are smaller. It's kind of like when I go into a store to try on shoes and the one on display that I am attracted to is a size 6 or 7 and then the sales clerk brings out my size (9 or 9/2) and I'm like "That's not the same shoe, is it? The one on display looks different!" The clerk tells me that it is in fact the same shoe. Suddenly, I don't want to try it on anymore. So, I just want to tell all you ladies out there who are not a size 4 in a dress that I get it. But we can't let it bother us.  Fashion is everywhere and marketing is everywhere and the majority of it is big beautiful pictures of skinny people. Keep in mind, models in magazines have the b...

FALL for Flowers!

{Leifsdottir Alegrias tiered floral skirt} Totally unpredictable and completely cool. Flowers for fall are exactly what you need to take your "I miss summertime" blues away. There are no rules in fashion. It's just about achieving a look that is your best and that you feel good in. Who says plaid is the only print you can wear in the fall? Now, don't get me wrong. Plaid is one of my favorite patterns. So maybe we can mix them together! {See below} Flower patterns are fun and so glamorous during any season. Just make your floral skirts a little more fall like by wearing a pair of colorful tights! Can you say FLOWER POWER?! And we are going to need some major FLOWER POWER especially when the temperature begins to drastically drop. {Christopher Kane ~ garden leather mini skirt} {Carolina Herrera}

The Necessary Black T-Shirt

I have to admit, I have not been getting dressed up much these days. I think it has something to do with just wanted to be comfortable. I have been sewing a ton of masks at The Maine Square   and it just feels better to not be confined in my clothing as I am cutting fabric and sewing. However, I do have to go out of the studio occasionally. Mostly it's to the mailbox, but sometimes it's to get more supplies and of course food. I don't mean to sound pretentious or anything, but I do think about how I look even when going out to do these quick errands. It makes me feel good to look half decent! Lately I have been opting for a simple black tee shirt and a pair of semi faded jeans. All I need to do it pop on a camel colored blazer and some ballet flats and I am good to go! Oh yeah, and I ALWAYS wear a mask when entering a public facility these days. I think it's just common courtesy with all that is going on with the corona virus.  Here are some of my all-time favori...
