2016 Trends That Need To Die Right NOW!

February 3, 2017July 19, 2016

I love a good trend as much as the next gal, but after a certain age I have found they don’t all like me. Therefore, I say you need to be comfortable in your own skin and know what works on you and what does not.

The 70s inspired designs and silhouettes maintained a playful vibe and paid tribute to …

Flower Child? Bringing Back The 70's

February 3, 2015

I know it’s hard to swallow, but the 70’s are back for Spring ’15 in a major way! Just look to the runways of Gucci, Pucci, Diane von Furstenberg, Etro and Prada for inspiration.
