Cuff Bling.

I love a man in a suit!! I especially love a man in a tailored shirt with french cuffs...because right at the wrist will be that little bit of metal that gives you some insight about the person wearing them.

Of course...I've found some of the most unique, colorful and interesting cufflinks in vintage stores.

The dress sits on your body and hugs you in just the right places and accentuates the bodice.  Most of all, I love the way I...


Dressing for Winter

Image It's about to get colder...and who wants to wear a bulky coat just to keep warm? Not me...and I'm betting most women don't either. I'll let you in on a little secret...if you want to find coats that are stylish and feminine...go vintage. The coat is very tailored and has to be worn over clothing that is not bulky.
