Who is on your fashion radar this spring? I love to get inspired by those who are a little offbeat & bold. Solange Knowles has such an incredible stand out personal style that is all her own. From her amazing hair to her bright & bold color choices, she always wears something eye catching with her own unique edge.

As a singer, songwriter, DJ and Mom, she is a true inspiration with amazing talent and style too. Here’s to marching to your own beat, living life on your own terms & wearing whatever you want that’s cool…… The Icon- Solange Knowles:

The Look #5: Sweet Summer

April 26, 2016April 26, 2016Leave a comment

Sometimes it feels so good to put on something that’s just simply pretty! And what better time than for summertime in the city ? Lately I’m loving all the sweet pastels, muted tone romantic looks and ethereal dresses. You can toughen something sweet & soft with a little bit more of a hard edged accessory. Here is some inspiration & a touch of romance for a “Sweet Summer in the City” look.

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 Inspiration #5: Sweet Summer

rose gold, ballerina tulle, romantic interiors, pink champagne, fresh cut peonies & tulips…..

The Icon #4 Florence Welch- Boho Rock Summer Nights

July 15, 2015Leave a comment

One of my current new favorite style icons is Florence Welch from Florence & the Machine. Not only is she striking & unusual, but she seems to be a true free spirit and a modern day goddess, playing by her own rules in both her music and personal style. She is not only beautiful, but also incredibly talented & inspiring. Her voice is pure & unaltered emotion. Her look is a mix of different style elements & has a sort of dreamy & flowing Boho vibe that’s offset by some hard edged pieces.

Follow her style for a bohemian rocker look for your summer nights out….happy summer!

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.
