A little heads up that the fabulous stylist turned jewelry designer Sara Beltran of Dezso is making a personal appearance here in the Big D at Forty Five Ten (where else) as a part of the Dezso trunk show there. She will be at Forty Five Ten today and tomorrow hanging out and showing you what she’s got in store for …
MY UNIFORM…AGAIN
Last night I was chatting with Amy about what we were going to wear tonight to our event at Blushington (stop everything and RSVP if you haven’t! See you there!) and my response was, “Let’s be honest, I’ll probably end up in a button-down, leather leggings or jeans and a pair of heels.” And while I have yet to make …
DESIGNER PACKAGES COURTESY OF WRAPPED LA
I am a big time gift giver. There is nothing I love more than going out to find someone the perfect present (which sometimes means spending more than previously agreed upon) and wrapping it up perfectly for it’s intended recipient (mostly because it looks nice under my tree). However, finding the gift is one thing, …
What’s your thing?
There is a common theme in the conversations I have with people about their careers – they are unhappy, dissatisfied and not sure what to do about it. At the end of each of these conversations, we always come to the same conclusion: They need a thing. You see, everyone needs a thing. Having a demanding career …
Climate Change
I have been doing some work traveling recently, which always requires a little climate inspired wardrobe reconsideration. Add a blazer here, lose a sandal there. Even though Los Angeles is in a somewhat constant (albeit a fluctuating constant – you do the math) state of spring/summer, it appears that April in other parts of the …
Double breasted
There is something inherently sophisticated about a double-breasted blazer. More popular for men than they ever have been for women (think 1930′s power players and old boys club smoking lounges), perhaps it is the more recent focus on androgynous style that has me thinking about the old world suiting. Oh how the times (and my style) …
Getting Graphic
Talk about taking corporate style to the streets. Remember that whole vintage (or not-so-vintage as the Balenciaga case may be) t-shirt and pencil skirt look (here and here)? Turns out, it’s a full on “thing.” While my corporate thoughts remain the same, having been inspired and adopting the theory that a blazer cures all business casual sartorial …
FASHION EDITORIAL: WORKING WOMAN
The first thing that struck me about this editorial from Vogue Latin America was the office itself. Thank goodness mine looks NOTHING like this. Although, I have heard rumors that there are still many low-light, dark wood, retro spaces out there. And since today is the today we normally take a look around “fashionable” offices, I thought …
holiday [halloween costume idea: the gold digger]
So Halloween is right around the corner and it is time to start getting your costume together. I wish I could take complete credit for this one, but alas, I can’t. A friend of mine came up with this Gold Digger fabulousness. However, I did dress myself up according to her instructions last year. And it was …
office no, no…or yes? [bare arms]
While I love summer weather and I love being outside, I pretty much hate dressing for the office in the summer. There are a couple of reasons: First, the weather outside versus the temperature in the office reminds me of being in school again. You want to wear shorts because it is hot as Hades outside, …
