One of my all-time favorite movies is "Beautiful Girls". The cast is great, the plot entertaining, but more than anything, I love how it truly captures how cold winters are in Minnesota. It reminds me of my hometown and why I still live here even when I'm a summer girl at heart. The other thing [...]

Black on Black
Hello my lovely stylistas! Today I had to decide whether or not to renew my domain, and after much thought I decided to give it another year. My new position has me very busy, especially with the holidays, but I really want to make the time to continue blogging (and hopefully with much more frequency). [...]
Style Inspiration-French Girls
There's something about a French girl. She oozes style and class, and is always effortlessly chic. She always looks put together, from the hair to the make-up to the clothes. And she makes it look so easy! Here's a peek at my favorite Frenchies. Julia Restoin-Roitfeld Daughter of one of my idols, Carine Roitfeld, this [...]
Affordable Minimalism
Remember in the 80's when Brooke Shields rolled around on the floor saying "No one gets between me and my Calvin's"? Well, I do. And I know I ran right out and bought a pair of Calvin Klein jeans. As a matter of fact, my sister and I got quite a few pairs from our [...]

They are made from hand-loomed cotton saris and textiles, and are hand-made in their Brooklyn studio. And the designer, Monica Patel-Cohn has a very impressive resume. [...]
Fashion’s New Shining Star
I really enjoyed watching NBC's "Fashion Star". The concept was fabulous! It was really educational to hear the feedback from the mentors (Nicole Richie, Jessica Simpson, and John Varvatos) and the buyers for Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue, and H&M. Anyone who's thinking of becoming a designer could certainly learn a lot from this show. And [...]
Parisian Chic At Ann Taylor
I have to tell you, I am dying over Ann Taylor's fall 2012 collection. When I saw the photos I was absolutely gobsmacked! Where did this come from? Have I been missing out on fabulous pieces? I admit, I have not been in Ann Taylor for years. It's always felt very business lady to me, [...]
Style Inspiration-Zooey Deschanel
How can anyone not like Zooey Deschanel? Her face is adorable, her hair is amazing, she can act, sing, and is very funny. While her style is very different from my own, I do admire someone who dresses to the beat of her own drum. She is quirky and charming, and that is why she [...]
