New York Fashion Week continues through the 12th. I wish I could be there, but luckily I have enough contacts and friends amidst the fashion chaos keeping me in the loop. Here’s the buzz I’ve been hearing for Spring 2009. The Point is Mute There seems to be lots of muted colors for spring. Think [...]

Living in Las Vegas I currently endure a summer filled with days of 107-degree weather. So, you can imagine just how much I’m looking forward to fall. Not only am I eager for the cooler weather, but I’m also eager to rock the type of stylish apparel I can’t wear during the simmering summer climate. [...]

I’m loving this gradient trend, especially on a dress, a pair of shoes, or on a shiny clutch. While I know this trend will last through Fall ’08, I don’t see it lasting through Spring ’09. So, buy ombre in small doses and don’t invest a lot. Lollie Shopping’s Recommended Ombre Picks GUESS Galantha AK [...]

And, not only will you stay cool, but you’ll look cool with my recommended picks. Lollie Shopping’s Recommended Picks for Summer Shorts Day/Casual Morgan Low Rise Skinny [...]

I must be getting older. I’m feeling like a Golden Girl lately and coveting all that is gold, especially gold metallic shoes. I recently got these Chinese Laundry Bobbi Sandals at Piperlime (I know, I know, I can’t believe they’re Chinese Laundry either), but there are so many options out there, I had to make [...]

I love Who What Wear Daily. They’re so cool, current and in-the-know. Yesterday they posted their Trend Report on prints and patterns and recommended pieces under $200. But, in this wonderful recession, under $200 doesn’t cut it for me. I need pretty prints and patterns for under $50, and I bet you do, too.(Disclaimer: Sizes [...]

Are you pretty in pink? This summer, hot pink is the color of the season. All you need is a sexy tan, a sassy hair cut and the bold confidence to make this look work for you. My good friend Chicago Mindy is all about hot pink right now and inspired me to write this [...]

Having been a film major in college, films hold a very special place in my heart. In my house, film watching is an event that includes exquisite snacks, premium wine (beer for the hubby) and a long analytical conversation covering what we liked or didn’t like. Being writers, both my husband and I enjoy critiquing [...]
