Hacienda Montaecristo

Hacienda Montaecristo

If you were to leave Mobile, Alabama heading directly south, you would hit the Yucatan Penninsula, or the toe of Mexico.  If you continued on a little farther, you would come to the town of Tulum, named by the Mayans who first inhabited it, meaning City of Dawn. Barely visible from the main beach road, [...]

Buy Fringe for Fall

Buy Fringe for Fall

Fringe is a huge trend for Fall 2011.  I love this yellow and black crochet skirt by Proenza Schouler. It reminds me of a hanging plant holder my parents had in the 70’s but it’s so chic, pared with a masculine white blouse that I would totally wear it .This season, Alexander Wang added sexy, [...]

It was a very daring choice but, I loved Cate Blanchett in this gown by Givenchy.

What could be better than pashmina, you ask?

What could be better than pashmina, you ask?

Until recently, there were few things in life I coveted more than pashmina.  Today, however, I learned what a Shahtoosh shawl is.  Originally, Shahtoosh shawls were called “pleasure of the kings” because they were so soft and fine they could pass through the hole of a wedding ring. Whereas, pashmina is made from the [...]

Tucker for Target Fall 2010

Tucker for Target Fall 2010

I saw the Fall lookbook for the Tucker for Target collection that’s due to hit stores on September 12th and it’s very cute.  It is a huge improvement over previous collections by Jean Paul Gautier and Zac Posen that looked very junior and cheap.  Most of the pieces looked and felt much more expensive than [...]

4 Cool Fall Coats

4 Cool Fall Coats

The first coat is the Cocoon Coat (Verlaine, $699.00, available at 219 Mulberry, NYC and K3, Japan) and to me it would be the perfect coat to wear over a slinky dress when you are going somewhere fancy, but don’t want to freeze to death, and it’s made out of wool and angora so [...]

My favorite fall collection

My favorite fall collection

I would  love to have  pretty much everything in the Trussardi 1911 Fall 2010 Collection.  I love the lean silhouettes, the texture of each piece and most of all, the hats.
