Black and Gold = Timeless and Elegant.



When I think of putting black and gold together I automatically  think of designer Yves Saint Laurent. Such a glamorous look that he was well known for. I was inspired by this page (see below) in my March edition of Harper's Bazaar. As I was examining the page I actually felt the glamour poring out! The models look so gorgeous and the accessories are so elegant! I just had to try this black and gold look!



I thought this look was very Yves Saint Laurent. Sort of a feminine take on a menswear look, which to me, can be even more sexy than Beyonce wearing a mini dress ;)


Here is a little closer look at the gold necklace that I chose to complete this look. I also chose gold sparkle earrings and a couple of gold bracelets. I did my eye make up and blush in shimmery copper shades.

This is a vintage Yves Saint Laurent suit that I cam across on the web. I thought it  was similar to my blouse! Very chic!

WOW. What a glamorous blouse from Arden B. It's been marked down to $49.99 and is final sale, but who would be crazy enough to want to return this baby?! The watch on the right is by Phillip Stein and I have three words. I WANT IT!

Below are some more gorgeous black and gold looks from Yves Saint Laurent. Enjoy!

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...
