Tell No One : Top Sets July 11, 2013

Tell No One


It's always an honor to be selected by Polyvore as a "Top Set" contender. It was lovely to wake up to a stream of congratulations from my friends and supporters.

It was a happy surprise to see that mine was the lead off set, which has never happened and is usually reserved for the really "Big Girls" like my friend Rainie or Lidia-Solimosi.

Yay!

Get the Look: Kate Hudson



Get the Look: Kate Hudson by divadebbi

The adorable Kate Hudson appeared on David Letterman the other night.  The black leather "jean" skirt she wore was from Michael Kors pre-fall collection. I've always had a soft spot for black paired with fuscia...I think its pretty, chic and seasonless.

I am starting to come around to the white pump revival, though I can't see myself ever wearing them...and it has nothing to do with the fact that my size 41 MB's would look like white fiberglass skis.

I remember when Sarah Jessica Parker, a loyal Manolo Blahnik aficionado, first wore classic white pumps last year, while everyone else was teetering in YSL Tributes.  It looked somewhat jarring to the eye at the time, but remarkably, the eye does adjust.  Do I like them???

The fashion jury is still out...How about you?

Frieda....circa 2012

Frieda....circa 2012




I think the world of art and fashion are completely symbiotic.  When I saw this Preen dress featured on one of my favorite websites Red Carpet Fashion Awards, it reminded me of one of Frieda Kahlo's self portraits.

I imagined, if Frieda were alive today, the print and colors would resonate with her too.

 Thus, I created this Polyvore set in homage.  I hope you like it too.

Forgive me Darlings...

Forgive me Darlings...




Like any other community, be it Blogger's, Pinterest, Tweet Deck friends or Polyvore pals, when you participate over time, you connect with like minded souls.

Since discovering Polyvore four months ago, I follow others and have followers.  We have a like minded sensibility about fashion, art, and set placement. Some of there sets are jaw droppingly stylish.  They inspire me and sharpen my eye.

Partially because of my real job as a Personal Shopper, where I  experience first hand, the topsy turvy retail reality of selling fur and velvet in July, I am officially abandoning beach and bikini sets.

It will be interesting to see what the reaction is...

In the meanwhile, Fall is looking absolutely luxe and luscious.  I hate to rush the summer, but part of me is already looking forward to hunkering down with 20 lbs. of fashion magazines.

I may love the long day light summer hours, but when it comes to fashion, is there any season more beautiful then Fall???
