Keep the Cold Away, Brighten Your Day...

Feeling the chill a bit more this winter?  Part of the remedy is a fun, asymetrical,  bright colored sweater to bring warmth and a bit of distraction during the cold season.

Some of Our Favorite Actors Just Stylin'

Whether they're casual or formal, whether they're celebrating or relaxing, well cut clothes, clean lines and fine fabrics do make the man.  We have to thank their wives as well, they must have a bit of a hand in their men looking good.

Alexandra Grecco - Creative Bridal Designer

Alexandra Grecco is an inspired new bridal gown designer.... at least to me.  I've never heard the name before until last month, but I love quite a few of her bridal gowns from 2016.  Take a look:

Knits for Any Season - Missoni

Cruising through the web, looking for new fashion styles, I came across a photo of a Missoni design.  I'm always astonished and amazed at Missoni's creativity with color, the famous zigzag patterning which is this company's signature, and the lightness of the knits created.  So, this means we can wear knits and look fantastic any time of the year!

Contemplating Meghan Markle Style

Meghan Markle.... the native Californian will marry Prince Harry tomorrow!  They make such a nice couple.  Looking forward to seeing Meghan's wedding gown on tv.

Meghan used star on the show Suits (I've never watched it, I'll have to watch one episode before the end of next week), owned a blog called Tig (which I just looked up, but she's stopped blogging according to the note on the last post), and worked with Reitmans on a collection of dresses and shirts in her name (you can see her collection at besthealthmag.ca.  

Looking at the photos of her, I see that Meghan loves neutrals.  She wears a lot of black, cream, grey, white and taupe, though she throws in color here and there.  The silhouettes are mostly mod sophisticate and comfortable.

Who Designed That Stunning Dress?

Essence magazine features fashionably dressed stars regularly.  I have to say, these popular entertainers look absolutely wonderful in the dress choices they've made. Which came first, the stunning color or the design?  Details such as ruffled, pleated sleeves using firm fabrics, multiple colors and volume using flowing fabrics, make the designs outstanding!

I'd love to know the name of the designer for each piece!
