Today I'm paying homage to one of my favorite designers of all time (along with ODLR, Poiret, & more) - the amazing French designer Madeleine Vionnet (1876-1975). Her career peaked in the 1920's - 30's when she became a famed couturier and has long been considered the "Queen of the Bias Cut." Below I've included just a … Continue reading V for Vionnet

Autumn/Winter Style Guide
While November may still be Fall, technically, I've decided to go ahead and create a guide covering both of the chilly seasons. Obviously the two have a lot of the same sort of cold- weather pieces. I've picked ten "essentials" (not that faux fur or rhinestones are even close to being essential in the literal … Continue reading Autumn/Winter Style Guide

Prints and Patterns and Colors, Oh My!
I like to start things with a little humor :)Admittedly, I spend FAR more time on Pinterest than I should. Hours, sometimes. Who doesn't these days, though?
