One fabulous reason to look forward to SEPTEMBER!

Okay, so this may not look like your local Target department store. That's because it's not. It is actually a Missoni concept store. However, I am hearing that designer Angela Missoni has come up with an affordable Missoni line for Target that will debut in select stores and online in September! Now that is one reason to look forward to Fall!

 Not familiar with the Missoni brand? Let me fill you in. Missoni is know for the gorgeous and colorful zig zag patterns that you see in the photos above.

 Below you will see a photo of Ottavio and Rosita Missoni the founders of the Missoni fashion label.

{This is daughter Angela Missoni. She took over designing for the label in 1996.}
{Sons Luca born in 1956 (right) and Vittorio born in 1954 (left) oversee the business.}
{In 1983 Margherita is born. She now models for the Missoni brand and is also the brand ambassador as well an aspiring actress.}
Below you will find a few gorgeous photos from the photo shoot that Missoni did for Target. The apparel will be affordable for one and all!! I am going to fully enjoy my summer, but I am not going to be sad to see fall arrive this year! Missoni for Target debuts in SEPTEMBER!

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...
