I began to imagine what fantastic adventure lied ahead for them...I created many


I hope to be this cool in 30 years ;)

Love Tatum

Another great style sighting @ THREAD show San Diego - love the bold pop of red on the fitted mini-dress against the backdrop of black.
Her black suede wedge booties are fantastic!
And don't even get me started on her JEWELRY - its ah-may-zing! Check it out @ www.lovetatum.com


Cheers to your style!!

A man who's got it goin on!

Ok, I don't know about you, but I love seeing a man have some unique style.
Its hard out there for a man to come up with a "look" of his own when there's not a lot of options - pants, shirts, jackets & that's about it. At least we have dresses & skirts to add into the mix, along with more top varieties...
I saw this fab dressed man @ the THREAD show San Diego this past weekend & he just rocked it. Funky, yet classic silhouettes, cool, yet approachable.
Hard to see in the photo, but his shirt had a faint mini white polka dot too - superb pattern mixing, loving the texture he created.
His sunglasses were made of wood, yes WOOD - very groovy. I couldn't even mock him for wearing them indoors (which is a major NO in my book, eye contact is key)
Seeing the return of the bow tie lately on quite a few men - I like it if you can pull it off & you know who you are if you can...
What do you think of his look?
Cheers stylin guy!

New Fall shows - 1st up - "New Girl"

Fox's new show "New Girl" premiered last Tues night & it's 1st episode brought the adorable quirkiness we all love about Zooey Deschanel.


Quick premise ~ sweet girl gets cheated on by boyfriend, dumps him, needs to find new place to live & ends up rooming with 3 guys. Hilarity guaranteed to ensue...


Costume designer, Debra McGuire, has given her character a charming real girl vibe. She dresses comfy, yet cute. She's a tad off-beat but not in a "trying to hard" manner. Color choices are playful and feminine. Can't wait to watch this character develop!

Who doesn't love a girl in glasses? Coming from one who is avoiding Lasik, I love my specs, especially for certain looks ;)

Post break up & on a "Dirty Dancing" bender - help this girl out!

Cheers to the new season ~

Emmys Red Carpet Review

I have to say, the red carpet this year for the Emmy's was a lil dull.

There were few, if any, "wow" moments on the carpet. It seemed quite safe & tame, which just equals boring when one is craving fashion.

Christina Hendricks - stunning in champagne
& beads

Christina Hendricks's gave us some Old Hollywood glamour with her nude fitted gown. The fit was a lil snug, but she has the curves to pull it off. I like her pop of color red lips & simple sexy hairstyling.
She did well with not over-accessorizing & letting the dress do its job - Cheers Christina!

Diana Agron - bold in electric blue

I actually missed Diana Agron on the red carpet live but when I saw this pic, she just jumped out at me.
Love the bright color choice!
The simplicity of the dress is divine since the color is so bold. The drape of the neck feminine & softening.
She proves one does not have to bare all to be sexy.
The hair, the make-up, the jewelry - all bravo!

Gwyneth Paltrow - 2 piece?

                                                                                   






Ok Gwyneth, I love that you're a risk taker, that's fantastic, but really?
You have an amazing body, especially after 2 kids - its very lean & straight and this cut right at your mid-section is doing you NO favors.
Love the bead work, the pattern is exquistite, I just wish it fit you better...






Now, here's a lil starlet who got it right -

Sarah Hyland

 Sarah Hyland of "Modern Family" did color & age-appropriateness right.
A beautiful salmon color for her, she kept her makeup natural & fresh, her hair loose & pretty.
Love the belt, jewelry & shoes. She's gonna be a contender on the red carpet for years to come!






Now, this one is going to sound a bit strange. I mean, I really tried to like this dress while watching Julie give her acceptance speech (Congrats Julie!) but it just did not fit her well, yet in this picture, she looks gorgeous. I do think this is an amazing dress, love the pattern, there just needed to be some work done within that plunging V.
Thank goodness pictures are what last a lifetime, cuz you look good here, Julie

Julie Bowen
