Favorites Of The Day

This dress is the subject of so many interpretations. Never-the-less this interpretation is just as spirited and sexy as the one Marilyn Monroe wore. I really like this one though!

Fashion Week Day 3

You don't even have to guess this designer. It is Herve Leger by Max Azria. Just when I think I've seen all the ways a bandage dress can be made, they put a new spin on it!






Donna Karan had some really nice, classic pieces.

This is so sexy for a number of reasons. One this is a two piece ensemble that looks like a dress. Two it is detailed in all the right places, the shoulders, the bust line, the hips. Three it's skirt is cut right above the knee. I don't think you need to add anything else to your sexy because this says it all!

Considering the original cost of this bag.......It' a steal and I'd go get it!

Just bear with me here. I'm trying to figure this out. Now I like the dress. It appeals to that "I've got to be different" side of me. I guess I'm not all the way in love with this dress because I haven't figured out what to do with the side that's grey. I know it needs something but I haven't figured out what yet!

Now we all know we could rock this jacket. It just goes with too much. Like those leather straight legged pants, or jeans you are just waiting to wear. You know what? You could even lend it to your best friend to wear with that mini skirt and thigh high boots. I'm feelin this jacket!

Look, I know you don't have to get excited about these boots but when I saw them I was like honey hush!, How much and by who and where do I get them? This is one time when when I am not ashamed to admit I bought an outfit for my shoes!

The House That Donna Built


You can't live your life without at least one person you look up to. You must have at least one person you can model yourself after and then add your own twist and improve upon that. Personally, I have several women that I look up to my mother, Diane von Furstenberg and Donna Karan, of course. I always told myself that I want to be like them. They are aesthetically cool and never seem to care what others think about them. They just are. Unfortunately, I'm only talking about one of these women today and that would be Donna.

When the glitz of New York Fashion week had dissipated, you can find Ms. Karan working diligently on her brand new baby entitled the Urban Zen Initiative {and she's partnered up with Madonna for her Spirituality for Kids Concern} It's through her non-profit foundation that she wants to show people that effecting change in not the responsibility of others, but its your responsibility. In an interview with Prestige magazine Donna Karan discusses her ambitions about social responsibility and philanthropy and the future of her brand. Read the full interview here.

Top It Off With A Blouse


Pretty, white blouses take you from day to evening without missing a beat. I love the first blouse pictured here with a black and white skirt. It is by Donna Karan, from the Donna Karan Collection. Available at Bergdorf Goodman. The top itself is simply her "Puffed Sleeve Blouse." I like it because it's simple yet elegant, stylish, yet classic. I can dress it up, as they have done here or I can pair it with a nice black (or any color)wide-legged pant. I can even wear it with a nice pair of jeans and a nice shoe. The design of this blouse adds a touch of elegance to anything that you decide to wear. This next shirt is available at BeBe and is by BeBe. It retails for $69.00. It's called their "Scalloped Smock." This is a very pretty blouse with its lacey trim and it's elegant satin white bow. I can see it being worn with a pencil skirt, a pair of jeans, wide legged pants anything that has a tapered waist. The blouse has deep v-neck, with laced border so I wouldn't bother with a necklace. I would wear some nice chandelier-type earrings or some hoop earrings. A little surprise, the blouse has a semi-opened back. Bergdorf Goodman has another blouse that worth mentioning. It's Donna Karan's "Panama Shirt." It's deep red with a spread collar, low buttoned front, rolled cuffs, and puffed short sleeves. This fun little blouse could be worn with jeans, or a black skirt, just about anything you could imagine. These blouses are just three of my picks for season's best. I'm sure you'll be seeing them on a body near you! The man of wisdom is never of two minds;the man of benevolence never worries; the man of courage is never afraid. Confucius Lovin Life, truthis
