sharing the chic, the fulfilling and the audacious...
My week has ended up a little crazy, so I am happy that I got to finish my fashion week coverage with the Chanel show. But now I am moving on to the current fall season and one trend that seems to be creating mass hysteria: Cap Toe Shoes. That’s right, whether you are in… [Read More...]
I thought I knew Jill Stuart. Her designs have always been quirky and sweet and fun. But the Jill Stuart S/S 2013 Collection took me by serious surprise. Like I would never ever have guest this was her collection. Yes- it still possessed a distinctly feminine viewpoint. But, this was not your girl-next-door. This was… [Read More...]
If we are being honest, I am not historically a huge Escada fan. I tend to be more restrained than the eye-catching brand. But “Restraint” seems to be the theme of the Escada S/S 2013 Collection. The pieces in this presentation are thoughtful and more simple than your typical Escada fare. Yes there is color… [Read More...]
I am always collecting photos of things that inspire me. This isn’t limited to the fashion realm, but is encompasses anything that strikes my fancy. Lately, I have been obsessed with workspaces.

Raf Simons last collection at Jil Sander embodied a lot of Mid Century shapes and this collection shows a continued obsession with… [Read More...]
There is something about California Cool style that I miss here in the Midwest. Don’t get me wrong, Chicago has its own chic sensibility, but I didn’t fully appreciate laid-back interpretations until after leaving. (Something about how absence makes the heart grow fonder?) The Jenni Kayne Resort 2013 Collection really captures the feeling that I… [Read More...]
The first word that came to mine as I looked through the Tibi Resort 2013 Collection was: BOLD. Designer Amy Smilovic made a commitment to saturated colors, crisp tailoring and great shapes. And in my opinion it paid off. Tibi typically has a downtown feel to it and this no different. But new to the… [Read More...]
Today, I am addressing something a bit heavier than the normal NoH post. And it also is a bit time consuming. BUT, if you can set some time aside today to watch this video- PLEASE DO. If you are active on Twitter you may have noticed #stopkony trending as part of the Stop Kony 2012… [Read More...]
