Fashion Lesson #13 What Is Fashion Sense?

Photo Source: Style Slicker 
A couple of weeks ago, sinisterrouge from Buttercup Punch wrote “What Is Fashion Sense?”.
I was really struck by her honesty:
“I have no fashion sense. None. I also have no beauty sense. I lack what people would refer to as ‘girly-ness.’ I wear barely any makeup. I don’t do my hair. I don’t know [...]

Fashion Lesson #12 Petite Tubular Shape

A few weeks back reader Stacy left me the below comment on Fashion Lesson #4 Petite Proportion:
Hi
This was helpful. True, cuffs on trousers are not the best and tailoring is a must if you don’t want to look like you were playing dress-up with someone else’s clothes. Looking younger than I am is a double [...]

Funk Sucker…
The Eco Shoe Dryer will suck all the moisture from your shoes sparing the stench that might have been.  Just plug it into the wall and when it’s finished, the light will give you the green light to funk freedom.

Thuy Diep Fall/Winter 2008 Collection

Here’s a designer to keep an eye on.  It’s no surprise that designer Thuy Diep is as talented as she is.  Ms. Diep was born in Vietnam to parents who are both tailors.  Under their tutelage, this designer learned at an early age how to make clothes.
She went on to Brown, later Parsons and landed [...]

Muse & Mainstream Iconoclast Anna Piaggi

She has been described as a muse, eccentric, and a fashion icon, but never boring and never publicly  in the same outfit twice. 
You may remember the picture I posted on What’s Your Style? from the Sartorialist of Anna Piaggi.  Ms. Piaggi who has been a creative consultant to Italian Vogue since 1988 has produced more [...]

Fashion Lesson #5 Hourglass Shape

It’s Friday so that means Fashion Lesson #5 Hourglass Shape.  Well you are the sort of woman that the rest of us hate.  Not only do you have the bust, but the bum to back it up!
Do’s:

This price is a steal!
Not everyone would agree with my taste, but I really love wellies and for $19.99 at target, it’s a steal.

Indulge yourself…
Now this could be a combo of deal/indulgence/trend watch, but being that the prices are still pretty high, I decided it would fit best here.

America’s Next Top Model Cycle 10

 
Ok, so I have to let you in on one of my guilty pleasures, ANTM.  Not as popular as Project Runway and regularly paned by critics, but I enjoy it just the same. 
I respect that Tyra has addressed issues like body image and cigarette smoking. I also enjoyed watching Heather last cycle follow her dream [...]
