The Recap And Fashion Drama of The RHONY Season 8: Ep 18
I have come to two, well three conclusions. 1) Dorinda is the shit stirrer of all shit stirrers. 2) Tom is a man whore and is marrying LuMann for reality fame (he has money, but not fame). 3) This marriage will happen because LuMann wants to be married more than anything, but it will end badly. As in Bethenny and Jason badly. Anyway, this week’s much anticipated episode of the Real Housewives of New York, starts off where we left of last week – getting ready for the engagement yacht party in Palm Beach

Runway To Real Way: DKNY Takes Us Back-to-School This Fall
August is here which means, like it or not, back-to-school season is around the corner! Luckily, long gone are the days of dreading a new classroom or nervously hoping you’ll like your new teacher. Nowadays, back-to-school time signals the coming of fall and, even better, fall fashion! DKNY paid a special homage to the days of no more teachers, no more books with a back-to-school themed Spring 2016 show that even us grown ups could study up on.

Bag To Carry Now And Later: The Striped Bag
Who can resist the Jackie O striped Gucci bag? Apparently nobody because the style keeps coming back. I so wish I had not killed my vintage one (via my mother) in the late 90’s. Anyway, the style of the striped bag with its simple yet statement-making vertical center stripes has influenced the design of a considerable amount of bags this upcoming fall which is evidenced below. How to wear the striped bag? I love it with a crisp white menswear inspired shirt to make the bag stand out. Come winter, try a fisherman’s sweater. Pair either top with a pencil skirt or your favorite worn jeans. It will pop beautifully.

Packing For A Weekend At The Beach
I love a weekend away at the beach, but oddly the packing is a nightmare! I literally can’t stand it. You have to pack so many items “just in case.” Are the evenings cold? You need a light sweater. Are you going out for dinner? You need a cute dress. Then the swimsuits and coverups and the clothes to change in to after the beach? When I see other articles or posts with a bikini, a dress you can use as a cover up and to wear out and, with a hat, sunglasses and a pair of sandals, I say bullshit. Here is what I packed for a 2 night, 3 day trip to the beach

Bag Trends: The Slouchy Tote
Forget structure. One bag style you can buy now and carry into the fall is the slouchy bag. It can be a tote, hobo or shoulder bag and made of leather or suede (for that extra slouch factor)…but it must just lose its shape when you set it down. The good news is, slouchy bags tend to be lighter and more comfortable to carry
