Indeed it seems that whatever Kate Middleton wears is an immediate hit at retail — Zara’s tangerine jeans, a green Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress, a Burberry trench coat, Adidas sneakers — they’re all snatched up by followers of the chic Duchess of Cambridge.

Going Green

Posted on 15. Mar, 2012 by admin.

Green in all its many shades — from mossy ferns to menthol mints to ocean teals — is a lucky color to wear this spring. One of nature’s favorite hues, the greens this year are balanced with cool pastels. Pantone, the color expert, predicts that we will be drinking up an icy “margarita” for our spring wardrobes and for fall 2012 — celebrate by wearing a warm rich ultramarine — a favorite on the fashion runways for the next season.
One of the freshest ways to go a little green this spring is to wear the cooler hues from head to toe, according to fashion designer Rebecca Minkoff. “I like tones of one color,” she says, “like the spectrum of a bright green with a soft fading jade.

You may be all wrapped up in faux fur jackets and knee-high boots right now, but chances are you can’t wait until you can shed the puffy parka and slip into something a little more on the “lighter” side of fashion. Say, like a colorful new drop-waist dress a la Daisy Buchanan in “The Great Gatsby.”

Fly the Fashion Skies

Posted on 14. Oct, 2011 by admin.

She was one of my last Barbie dolls. I’ll never forget her. It was 1966, and I was getting a little too “old” to play with Barbie, but something about the “Pan Am” Barbie thrilled me. I had never been on a plane at that young age, but I had dreams of being a stewardess myself — traveling all over the world, wearing that blue twill suit with the perky blue hat, white gloves and swinging with the jet set carrying that little black bag. And oh, the wings … yes, my Barbie came with little gold wing pins on her hat and her jacket lapel. She was my favorite.
