Zandria Rhodes is back!!

Please met a wonderful fashion artist from the 1970’s who is still creating. She is queen of British haute punk. She is famous for her personal eccentricity as for the clashing colors and vividly exotic prints she has shown on the runway since the 1970s. Recently, her talents are once again being appreciated. She has introduced a flamboyant makeup collection for M.A.C., furs for Pologeorgis and a jewelry line. In New York last week she fluttered about in a squiggle-patterned jumpsuit with butterfly sleeves, a look from her spring collection for Topshop, the fast-fashion chain based in London. She was here to talk up her latest venture: a line of lambskin handbags patterned with her exuberant prints. The latest designs represent her design identity that mixes the ethereal and the raw with motifs inspired by Native American, Egyptian or Chinese culture.

Comeback color---1980's Electric Blue!!!

1980’s electric blue is making a comeback. Fashion experts say there's a new way to wear it. Electric blue looks best when paired with minimalist accessories. You can't do too much or then you're the bad '80s comeback but if it’s a simple style, cut and pattern, it will work. You wouldn't want to do the handbag, earrings, dress, and eye shadow together. There's been resurgence in metallic look and we have bags in light silver and gray that is a good accent with blue. Delicate silver jewelry and a crisp white handbag looks great, and chartreuse also goes really well with that peppy blue.
One reason it's so popular right now is that the color is surprisingly flattering on just about everyone. It works on so many different skin tones and is beautiful against sun-kissed skin and will make you stand out in a crowd."
The good news is that the trend is here to stay -- at least for the next year or so. In New York, bright blue is going to continue throughout spring next year so just pair that summer dress with high or low boots and you're good for fall. It's one of the best transition things you can do."

Happy IVGLDSW Day!






Today is International Very Good Looking, Damn Smart Woman's Day.

Always remember this motto to live by: Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
