What an amazing and exciting week that was Paris Fashion Week. The shows were breathtaking, the clothing was beautiful, and I can’t think of a better way to boost the spirits during this weather-changing down economy. How to continue that spirit boost but see which looks I can take with me from the runway into [...]
Never underestimate the power of the dress. And that’s simply it: the dress. No crazy patterns, no plunging necklines, no mini mayhem. It is fantastic to walk into the office with a statement fashion piece or accessory on a given day, but there’s nothing like walking into the office with that simple look that causes [...]
After the working day, many of us have pondered how we are going to pull off going from corporate to cocktail. Do we wear the little black dress under the little black blazer and then figure out where to stash the blazer upon arriving at cocktail hour? Do we store our work pumps in our [...]
Jean Paul Gaultier recognized during this year’s Paris Fashion Week that life doesn’t have to be all work and no play. With the spring 2010 Hermès collection, he took the working wardrobe to the courts – the tennis courts that is. Tennis has always been one of the favorite lunchtime and post-work activities for the [...]
Miuccia Prada took the working look to new embellished heights. Of course, how can we be surprised. The Miu Miu spring 2010 collection showcased during Paris Fashion Week took the dress, collared shirt and cardigan and made them the glamours office staples they have always striven to be.

Luckily there are people like Marras to inspire me into adding a few pieces of [...]
The setting to show the spring 2010 collection of agnès b. couldn’t have been more appropriate. Set among sculptures and paintings during Paris Fashion Week, Agnes Trouble showcased a fantastic collection of strong straight lines with just enough soft thrown in. Her show concluded in a sunny garden with some looks that wrapped up both [...]
You can take Chanel to the barnyard but no venue could ever overshadow the design’s position in the fashion world. I remember hearing a broadcast news story on discounted workwear, and the newscaster chimed in, “Well this doesn’t count; it’s Chanel!” As shameful a plug on her fashion attire, the newscaster reminded us all that [...]
I’m getting a bit anxious for the weekend. With the excitement, why not plan my outfit for “casual Friday” tomorrow? With a nod towards Paris Fashion Week, I took the inspiration from Net-a-Porter for a casual Parisian chic look. Would you don this Casual Friday look?
Stefano Pilati declared that interoffice romance should be applauded and embraced — with fashion that is. The looks that you can take to the office from the spring Yves Saint Laurent spring 2010 collection have an air of lightness to them, as if you can float across the hallway versus clomping through in mary jane [...]
