Monday, July 5th, 2010

Sure I’m a professional image consultant, but that doesn’t mean I can’t benefit from the help of one. In the second of this two-part video, again, I am asking you to be my personal wardrobe consultant. Take a mini-journey through my closet and decide if I should keep, tweak or delete the selected items.

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

Should we be focused on dressing age-appropriately or should we be more concerned with dressing body and face-appropriately?” What’s your take?

Fashion Proportion – Reveal

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

Thanks to all who responded with comments to Monday’s post. Congratulations to Lanette aka Amadi, winner of the T.J. Maxx gift certificate.

So here are my opinions of the three looks.

Elise Neal. Love the color and the style works well on her figure. The length, however, falls flat. It too short to be long and too long to be short. Also, I totally agree with reader Christina’s comment regarding Elise’s display of the girls. It’s one thing to show decolletage; it’s quite another to offer a peep show. Finally, Elise’s earrings, ring and shoes lack cohesiveness. My Rating: 7

Elise Neal 2010 Silver Rose Gala

Taraji P. Henson. This outfit works perfectly for the office, but not for a Beverly Hills gala. The blouse’s red hue flatters the actress’ skin tone, but, once again, Taraji gets the skirt length wrong. Her necklace, however, correctly stops at her second balance point*. My Rating: 8

Alicia Keys: Yes! Tightly fitted, as should be the case when wearing leather. Still, it’s not too tight, as we see no fabric pulling across the hips. As for the length. Dead on!. Love Alicia’s shoes and the toe cleavage. Sexy. Christina again nails it in her comment about Alicia’s hair. Updos instantly bring elegance to a look. Had she put her hair up to display a fabulous pair of earrings to play off her shoes, I probably would have given Alicia a ten. My Rating: 9:5

* Second Balance Point: To find your second balance point, measure the distance between the widest part of your face to your chin. Measure the same distance from your shoulder line to your chest.

Andy Thê-Anh Fall 2010 Collection

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

May I share a secret with you? I know color; I know fit; I know proportion. But when it comes to knowing the names of hot fashion designers, I’m usually tardy for the party. Fortunately, master fashion journalists like Arise, Obsessionista, SheBreathes, Stylemom and The Midwestern Front, keep their well-manicured fingers on the pulse of what’s fresh and modern so I don’t have to.

Last night, however, while researching information for a new blog post, I came across the name of an unfamiliar designer; Andy Thê-Anh. Andy actually entered the Canadian fashion scene in 1981 (talk about being tardy) and quickly earned recognition as one of Canada’s most brilliant designers. See his work and you’ll clearly understand why. He designs with the modern career oriented woman in mind, creating masterfully tailored trendy and ultra-feminine threads that exude refinement and glamor. Well known for his impeccable suits, ladylike blouses and to-die-for frocks, Andy Thê-Anh’s collections include something for every size 0 to 14 silhouette. Images of his recent showing in Toronto left me in complete awe and longing to share. I mean, I know I’m late getting wind on this designer, but surely there’s someone else out there who’s late too . . . Right?

Here’s a glimpse of his Fall 2010 Collection. I’d love to hear what you think.
