Top 5 Hot Housewife Dresses: The Lady of the House
Who said anything about a desperate housewife? While quintessential ‘50s style used to be reserved for old-fashioned dames, it now has a new sense of charm, thanks to the refreshed empowerment of the modern woman. Now that we are comfortable as the dominant sex, we can have fun with the concept of playing the part [...]
Top Fortunate Finds: It’s Your Lucky Day
In honor of Friday the 13th – or in spite of, rather – I think we should invite some items into our wardrobe that are believed to ward off evil. From fiery red to Irish green to symbols off of horses, birds, and wild animals, I’m feeling positive energy abounding. With the right piece of [...]
Gimabattista Valli in Living Color: Katy’s a Pink Lady
Tone on tone…on tone! Usually, I wouldn’t recommend dying your hair to match your outfits but on Katy Perry major monochrome not only works, it’s fabulous. Okay, I’m biased since pink is my favorite color, but Katy’s retro-glamorous outfit is surprisingly demure and ladylike. It’s also the fact that the pop star can get away [...]
Giambattista Valli Textured-Twill Cape Jumpsuit: Solitary Confinement
Jumpsuits are a tricky business and most aren’t for everyone. When it comes to Giambattista Valli‘s ultra-elegant take on the one-piece, it’s as exclusive as it is chic.

This show is a true milestone for Giambattista Valli: after six years heading his namesake house, he has elevated himself into the world of couture. Feathers and froth and big ball gown delights: this is what we know and expect from couture. And Valli gave us what we know and expect from him – high-level [...]
Giambattista Valli Giraffe Shirt Dress: Hitting the Spot
This may come as a shock, but my favorite animal print is giraffe (it’s funky, quirky, distinct!) and Giambattista Valli has put the look of the long-necked creature to great use. Voluminous folds make the print of his cotton poplin shirt-dress abstract, so it’s highly stylish, not zookeeper-kooky. With short sleeves, a structured collar, pleats [...]
Pearls and Lace does a lady make!
Another great outfit for date night or just hanging out with the girls. My latest obsession are these NICHOLAS KIRKWOOD – PEARL AND LACE PEEP TOE PATENT PUMPS. Are they not delicious? I mean who would think of putting pearls on the bottom of the shoes, not the top!?!? I love the decadence of it [...]
