By Katrice  This fall may actually shape up to be all about trend for me. At least, it seems that way from what's catching my eye. I'm head over heels for so many pieces that I don't consider timeless, that it's quite a surprise for me even. Well, to that I'm saying to myself, let's just have fun with it. Cleobella Florence Diamond...

By Katrice I thought Macy's had taken me to the height of inspiration with it's 2010 ready to wear offerings. That was before I got a peek at the accessories. Smashing. ...

By Katrice Macy's Ready-to-Wear looks for Fall 2010 are all about rich fabrics and hues in a chorus of five style genres: brick (leathers, printed silk, brocades and washed velvets -- in earth, rust and marsala shades), down to earth (a twist of utilitarian chic basics in tweeds, peruvian jacquards and organic motifs), metropolis (minimalist glamour for work -- a fusion of neutrals with metallics and shimmer), caravan...

By Katrice  I wasn't planning to post today but I thought this would be a poignant time to do so, considering the un-good hair moment I'm having. I say "un-good" because it's not as wrenching as a bad hair day can be, but my hair is a bit out of sorts. And it is a good example of why I say so often...

By Katrice I'm siking myself into looking forward to the cooler weather by looking back over the this year's runway previews to fall and with the help of my favorite publications' September issues. I always spend the waning days of summer dreading the inevitable closet changeover. And believe me, I stretch my summer pieces as far into October as they can go. But, this year,...

By KatriceI heart men's fashion almost as much as women's. Each season, I build a portion of my professional attire to reflect the clean structure of menswear. It's not fussy but can be equally as pulled together (see here). I sometimes envy the ease with which my brothers can throw on a T-shirt or button-down, jeans and canvas bottoms, and look like they've...

By Katrice The Material Girl line -- an '80s inspired collaboration of Madonna and her daughter Lourdes -- is old news by now. But, I'm just getting a chance to take a peek at the line for myself. I'll admit, I've had great expectations since the more mature Madonna has been pretty consistently chic for the past decade (especially the offerings of her...

By Katrice Who loves designer labels without designer prices? I do! And Ross is giving other discount fashion stores a run for their money with it's growing inventory of designer offerings. I dropped in there -- expecting to be in and out, but the packed purse racks caught my attention and the rest is history. I couldn't resist whipping out my BB camera...

By KatriceI'm on a search for the consummate pink lip color and have been for a long time. It's a mix between simply loving the sumptuousness of a good gloss and the plethora of blush tones. I find one and by the next season I'm on to another that I like better or get the itch to start searching for a fresher option....
