The Good, The Mad, The Crazies & The Shining Star





    

On Monday, May 4, 2015, The Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute Gala in New York City benefit gala featured the new exhibit China: "Through the Looking Glass."   This gorgeous display will explore the impact of Chinese aesthetics on Western fashion.   The gala was a glamorous affair attended by a flood of celebrities, socialites and designers all ready to celebrate the Chinese influence on fashion throughout the ages.  Interestingly, the theme title seemed to confuse many in attendance with the characters in the movie Alice in Wonderland (2010) since the clothing choices by the elite were indeed a madcap of eccentricities.   These crazed apparel selections sandwiched amongst the stylish and appropriately dressed caused excitement and amusement for the world at large.

  What To Wear On The Plane Photo by  Marla Prusik  on  Unsplash "Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak." - Rachel Zoe Recently, on a trip to a sunny locale, I wore a brightly hued outfit to the airport. After all, I was thinking about my destination and wanted to dress with flair and fun.  It is also well-known that if you dress well for any event, adventure or daily activity, one is often treated better.   I know this to be true.  I remember being bumped to first class in my corporate travel days with a friend.   What I found out was that everyone at the airport - I mean everyone - was dressed in black, brown or grey.  Their attire was somber, depressing and sloppy.   I was stunned.  There were lots of tight leggings which are not attractive and also may cause blood clots amongst the plethora of  jeans, sweatshirts and flip flops.  Mind you makeup is at a minimum or not at all. There is only one word to describe - boring. Since when did we become so dr

Ultimate Packing Guide for Fashion Conscious  "Live in the sunshine. Swim the sea. Drink the Air." - Emerson          Sandy beaches, ocean waves, blue sky with palm trees swaying create visions of sun filled delight.   The images can be tantalizing with many counting the days until toes hit the beach and limbs float in a glistening pool.   The touch of sunshine warms the soul and invigorates the winter weary after months of cold, wind, hail and grey days  Once the destination and airfare is secured, house cleaned and all other daily life lists are completed arrives the special moment of packing the suitcases.   For some the task is easy and without stress and for others the mere thought of organizing, compiling and designing a vacation filled suitcase incites anxiety.  What if the wrong dress is packed? The black sandals are forgotten, or nothing matches?  Once again, a fashion maven is over packed with a rock-like suitcase and money being handed over at the tick

  The Comfortable Sandal Photo by  Eea Ikeda  on  Unsplash "The world is your oyster.  Happy feet means happy mind and happy enjoyment." KH Travel in summertime can be exciting and an adventure.  However, our feet need to have lots of extra care while traipsing around the planet or within our home towns.  A long walk with a white sundress and sandals can either be incredible or can be painful depending on the selected footwear.  I am a strong believer in spending more dollars on quality designed shoes, sandals and tennis shoes.  Leather is always my first choice along with a stable heel and sole.  Even when you play a sport, be cognizant to purchase the appropriate footwear.  If you play tennis or pickle ball, you need court tennis shoes.  If you do not wear them, you can roll your ankle or fall.  Same with golf and any other sport you take up.   Do not make the mistake and wear running shoes for every endeavor.  The result can be catastrophic.   Thus, this same strategy is
