New Spring Addition

Sage Tafetta Angelise Tie Skirt

 

I just got this great skirt for an upcoming event I have. I love long dressy skirts I can pair with a white shirt or T shirt. I like the juxtaposition of a dressy skirt and casual top. And it's a nice alternative to a cocktail dress.

Quilted

Frances Valentine 

 

I have always had a fondness for quilted things. My mother was an avid collector of vintage quilts that she kept in an antique Swedish armoire. We used them on our beds except for in the winter when they were switched out for wool Hudson Bay blankets - we lived a block off of Lake Michigan and winters lasted for the better part of 5 months.

A Classic

Collection Cropped Garcon Shirt with Pearl Collar

Pearls and a white shirt are two timeless wardrobe classics. It doesn't get any more classic than that. I wear pearl jewelry almost daily and I love pairing a white shirt with anything and especially a long skirt - very Caroline Herrera.

The Academy Awards

Sharon Stone 1998 Academy Awards

I watched 5 minutes of the Oscars last night and gave up. Actually, I couldn't even make it through the Beyonce opening song. Words cannot express how annoying I find it all. But the Academy Awards being on did bring to mind one of my favorite Oscar moments - Sharon Stone in 1998 wearing a Gap white shirt with a Vera Wang skirt. Such glamorous irreverence. I personally love wearing a dressy long skirt with a white shirt. It's such a chic look. I even wore it once to a Presidential Inaugural Ball - a J. Crew white shirt with a huge navy blue silk taffeta ballgown skirt.
