I have to admit that like most women, I do love a good sale! It has been fun checking out the Fall merchandise that recently went on sale in all of my favorite Chicago stores as well as online. I tend to gravitate towards unique fashion forward pieces that are not the easiest sell. Lucky … Read More

I Love Bill Cunningham
We have heard Anna Wintour quoted many times saying, “We all get dressed for Bill.” I never quite understood what she meant or recognized the impact of Bill until I watched his documentary, “Bill Cunnigham New York.” I was amazed by both his actual work and work ethic. Some of the most famous photos we have … Read More
Welcome Back Henri Bendel
I distincly remember walking through the Henri Bendel store with my mother in Chicago. At that point, I was just a little kid in love with fashion. Henri Bendel left Chicago 13 years ago but has always had a strong prescence in New York. As a big kid in college I went back and forth to New York often. I … Read More
The Skinny
Every woman I know has had a battle – or two or three – with the skinny jean. Let’s face it, denim in its smallest form will never be the easiest trend to grace the runway. Even with stretch! I consulted my friend who is considered “The Denim King” to help me in my recent quest … Read More
Happy Anniversary RumbaTime!
I took a quick trip to NYC to attend an event last night. It was the second year anniversary celebration for a cutting edge watch company called RumbaTime. I have mentioned this company in the past, but it has risen to a whole new level. RumbaTime now combines an “old school” spirit with the most … Read More
Design my wedding dress Mr. ?
Well it is just a Vogue day for me I guess, because another dress in the November issue caught my eye. There is a photo of Mark Ronson’s bride to be in a gorgeous custom Zac Posen wedding gown. This got me thinking. If I was getting married and could have any designer in the … Read More
Elisabeth Von Thurn Und Taxis
I do not know who you are Elisabeth and I certainly do not know which letters should be capitalized in your long name. All I know is that I want the dress you are wearing in the November issue of Vogue. (I would also take a ride in that yacht of yours they mentioned.) If … Read More
I WILL fit into my Halloween costume this weekend!
If this thought is going through your mind you should read on. Or if you just want to look especially hot in your teeny, tiny, tight (almost all “T” words may apply in this description!) costume, this could be of interest to you as well. We have all heard of cleanses, cellulite creams – you name … Read More
Makeup Madness
I had the pleasure of browsing the cosmetic floor at Neiman’s yesterday. I stopped in to grab a few basics. These purchases were all due to the fact that I am no longer basking in the sun on my days off! Unfortunately, I now have to resort to a few lighter shades in the makeup department. … Read More
Oak Street Review
I was out shopping on Oak Street yesterday and found myself incredibly annoyed. It takes a lot to ruin any shopping experience for me, but the event on Oak Street managed to do so. There was something going on for brides which I still don’t quite get. There was very loud bad music playing and … Read More
