 LS = Laura's Style

M=Marion

LS} Describe your personal style.
M}  I guess I'm not the best judge as I think that I am a mix and match girl.

LS} Who are your style icons?
M} My friends are some very stylish women. Kathryn, Suz, Gina, you, Cindy. I've got some very beautiful, amazingly pulled-together women who I love to bits and who you will usually catch me rubbing on. 

LS} What are some of your favorite things that you wear a lot (almost daily) that you feel defines your personal style?
M} I love patterns, and patterns with other patterns. I love color. I love wearing jackets all styles of them. (I'm almost always cold, so they come in handy.) I love scarves and various textures. And I like taking clothes and pairing things that don't seem to match. Like wearing my motorcycle boots with a fancier skirt and a jacket or thick sweater. I like to have tension in the items, kind of a juxtaposition. I sound insane but I can't think how to explain it!

LS} Who are your favorite designers?
M} I love Ralph Lauren. I like comfy looking classic design that I can really wear. I never loved the pushing-the-envelope styles since I can't figure out how to really wear them every day. My imagination is pretty limited. 

LS} What are three things from your wardrobe you could not live without?
M} I think I have four right now: Three of them are boots. Knee-high black motorcycle type boots, Brown knee-highs and a sexy pair of black booties, yeah baby! My other fave is my black patent Dooney bag. I do love shiny.  

LS} What is the most unique item that you own?
M} I have a pearl and precious stone bracelet that one of my sisters had made for the three of us. It is very special to me. 

LS} What is your most recent purchase?
M} Most recent purchases are three jackets from a cute resale shop called Polish. Raspberry corduroy, denim and a black linen 3/4 sleeve with a little hood.

LS} What item in your wardrobe was your biggest and best bargain?
M} I'd have to say the black motorcycle boots. they were the last pair at an end-of-winter sale and they were $15. And they were NEW! haha!

LS} What are your three favorite beauty items right now?
M} I have a Clarisonic Mia, love that little pink gadget for washing my face. Vanicream skin cream, which is really thick and luscious on your dry skin, and Jerkins natural glow.

LS} What perfume(s) are you wearing?
M} Romance by Ralph Lauren, and Estee lauder's Pleasures. I keep fragrances forever. I don't experiment much. I'm kind of boring like that!

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...
