On the subway today, I felt like putting on a fashion police badge and protecting a young gal from the leers of men seated around her. She was very visibly uncomfortable when she walked into the car — could it be that it was freezing cold outside with wind gusts up to 40 MPH? Perhaps. She was [...]

This photo was recommended in a fashion magazine (guess which one) as something to wear to work. Granted, it depends on where you work to pull this off but for most of us, this isn’t professional. Why? The blouse is too low-cut — you need to wear a cami underneath. The skirt is too short. It’s best that [...]

As you know, I love to question the fashion advice provided by Lucky Magazine because they don’t consider the silhouette or proportion of their models at all. They really are the magazine about shopping and so we need to remember that….especially when it comes to this: This is a classic fashion DON’T. Here we have an [...]

Women have it a little tougher in the workplace when it comes to how we present ourselves. We need to look competent and professional yet gain the respect of our colleagues and boss. What do you think of the woman dressed to the left? If I told you she was a secretary would you be okay with [...]

I don’t know what is happening in Isabella Rossellini’s head as of late but she’s starting to scare me with her choice in clothing. Her outfit is simply all over the place — from a Victorian-styled ruffled collar with a brooch to Uggs. ugh!! Uggs are only appropriate for the junior-set and women who live in snow-filled [...]

Some people can misinterpret the concept surrounding ‘personal style’ as a license for being lazy. Don’t fall into this trap. How many of you have seen a person walking down the street wearing their pajama bottoms or their slippers? Perhaps you’ve even done the deed! <gulp> This picture of Mary-Kate Olson has certainly made the rounds [...]

This past Sunday was rather gloomy so Nick and I dubbed it “museum day” and went to the deYoung here in SF where we are charter members. My favorite thing in the world is to people watch so during our picnic over lovely baguette sandwiches, I discovered quite a fashion-DON’T show unfolding right in front [...]

I live in a beautiful San Francisco neighborhood which has been dubbed “a village within the city” and is full of dogs and baby strollers. It really is lovely and I love being close to all the shops and my favorite butcher and fruit stand. It’s also a diverse neighborhood comprising of artists, the working [...]

I realize that Lucky magazine has become a great shopping guide for most of us. But, I can’t be silent any more. They have been putting weird outfits together for a few years with no basis for one’s silhouette, proportions or coloring. I realize that they need to be showing the latest trends, but having been [...]

Today I received a Macy’s sales flyer in the mail. In it, they feature some plus size fashions. Granted, plus size fashions have come a long way in the last few years and the clothing manufacturers are *finally* keying into the fact that just because you are not a size 6 or 8, you are [...]
