The Inspiration #5 SWEET SUMMER

Spring is in the air…..dreaming about sun filled days in the park, green grass, pretty flowers, sitting by a lake….those first few days of warmth when you put on a new dress and sandals and you can actually leave your jacket at home….so good to be back in New York City after so many years in California! Experiencing the extremes of cold weather and rain again makes the anticipation of sunny spring & summer days so much sweeter…..

The Look #3: Enchanted Fairytale

August 15, 2014November 22, 20161 Comment

I’m loving all the dark bohemian floral prints for fall . You can easily add a little edge to your “woodland fairytale look” by pairing a floral dress with a Biker jacket or a great Faux fur coat. Complete the look with pointy heels or boots & some great accessories……

THE ICON #2- Lisa Bonet- The Modern Bohemian

February 4, 2014Leave a comment

One of my favorite style icons from the 80’s and 90’s was Lisa Bonet who played Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show. A true free spirit, she seemed to wear whatever she felt like & to do whatever she wanted. She was not only beautiful, but also a talented actress and to this day she has a look that can not really be defined in terms of race, age or any other categories. She is a true bohemian who seems to live a sort of gypsy life, dropping in and out of the Hollywood scene at her own will & time.

Her past style both on and off The Cosby Show was original & a true inspiration…..and her present “Earth Mama” look still represents the ultimate “Modern Bohemian”: my Icon #2- Lisa Bonet.

The Inspiration #2: Bohemian Modern

Now that the year is finally coming to a close and things are starting to wind down for the holidays, it’s the perfect time to start dreaming about what you are going to be wearing next spring! I’m loving the new “Modern Bohemian” look that was all over the Resort & Spring 2014 runways….

If you are one of the lucky ones jetting off to somewhere warm and tropical for the holidays, you might want to channel your inner free spirit while packing your suitcase. But, if not, you can still dream about frolicking on the beach or speeding away in your vintage convertible in some of these cute outfits…..

As always, it’s that little bit of contrast that makes any outfit exciting, so combine some glam accessories with your Boho look for a truly modern aesthetic.

The Inspiration #1: The Lady Is A Punk

October 18, 2013December 4, 2013Leave a comment

It still feels like summer here in San Francisco.

The days are warm & sunny which I love, but since I grew up on the east coast in New York City, by the time it’s September or October, I’m always feeling in the mood for true fall & all the cool clothes that go with it.

I’m loving the “Posh Punk” look that’s currently in all the stores and magazines. I’ve always loved a little contrast and a look that combines vintage-modern romance with a bit of a rock ‘n roll edge.

So, it’s kind of perfect that my first style inspiration post for Rock Paper Sequins is a look that I’ve been pretty much rocking since high school.
