  “a modern interpretation of a vintage frame bag, the muse is at once ladylike and lovely.”

Lynda Fur Chubbie, faux fur with poly-taffeta lining in leopard. This is a great jacket you’ll use for years to come. I especially like it with the yellow skirt. If you like the skirt, below is another outfit with a sweet cardigan.

LOVE THIS OUTFIT! I’ll be wearing the Enormous Swiss Dot Tights! Be sure to check out Kate’s shoes. Her flats are showstoppers and oh-so-comfortable.

Planning a picnic or weekend party? Here’s the information you need to know!

We all love the end of summer as we enjoy the breezy days and slow-down of kids’ activities. Days are becoming shorter and already notice a slight coolness to the night air. What’s the problem? Kamikaze mosquitoes; sniffles and scratchy throats; headaches.  What’s the problem? Check this out!

Type in www.off.com  In the upper right corner, you will type in your zip code to view the Mosquito Activity Report courtesy of SC Johnson Brands. This also gives you your weather report by The Weather Channel. Scroll down the page and under FEATURES, Click on “Get Your Local Pollen Forecast.” Zyrtec and The Weather Channel give you access to mold, pollen and a variety of activity in your area that could have an effect on you.

Mold and pollen count high? I’ll forgo the vigorous walk and stay inside during the worst times!  (cough, wheeze, ugh!)

Saks Fifth Avenue in Manhattan was buzzing with shoppers for sales and new merchandise. I found two tops for fall and a fun pair of shoes. Check out your nearest store or click here  for on-line.

Sarah Jessica Parker has been named President and Chief Creative Officer of Halston. She’ll have an equity stake in the brand, partly owned by Harvey Weinstein who’s been trying to revive the brand for several years. Sarah had launched a low-priced line, Bitten, in 2007, which was successful until the parent company (Steve & Barry’s) went bankrupt in 2008. I believe Parker’s role in Halston will benefit the brand and we’ll see great things in the near future!

I like to look at what the new contemporary designers are doing. Sometimes the fashion is geared toward a specific age group, which is fine but limiting. Designers may have a target-market age group but if they attract a lot of “fringe” either way, they’re hitting a home run and it’s good business.

akiko Yasuda is quite impressive in my book. Her small apartment T-shirt company to a major contemporary label lends belief to her talent in bringing clothing that impresses a wide range of shoppers. I bet we’ll be seeing a lot more of her work down the road.   

So we had to be ready for the Grammy Awards by 10:30 am. Get up and get ready to go! My Alice + Olivia dress with BCBG stockings; Prada bag; Dior shoes; jewelry and accessories were laid out the night before. We met Grammy nominee Ruthie Foster and entourage in the hotel lobby to board the shuttle to go to the Staples Center for the Red Carpet before the pre-telecast.

The pre-tel was exciting and Taylor Swift won a few Grammy awards, which she accepted in person. She changed her dress before she went to the telecast Grammy Awards. She is a talented young artist!

The Grammy Awards were amazing! I think Pink and Beyonce excelled in their performances!

From Grammy Awards to After-Grammy party. Kathy Lanser and I keep on rockin’ !

After Party a great experience. Ne-Yo performs for the enthusiastic crowd!

We attended a VIP Grammy party hosted by the Louisiana Visitor and Convention Bureau at the year-old Grammy Museum by the the Staples Center, NOKIA Plaza, LA Live, etc. It’s a happenin’ area!

From the rooftop terrace at the Grammy Museum

I wore my tried-and-true Laundry dress, Juicy stockings and Dior shoes. It was a perfect dress to wear as it was cool on the rooftop for cocktails.

We were treated to a mini-concert with the Magnolia Sisters followed by Zachary Richard .                        

During intermission, we toured part of the museum. I could have spent hours there!  Visit the Grammy Museum next time you’re in LA!

A few costumes from Michael Jackson’s collection.

A terrific evening!

     The trip started out “just right” watching cutie Kiefer filming outside the hotel today. Hotel starting to rock as awards attendees arrive. Reservations at 9:00 tonight at Chateau Marmont on Sunset and then onward …..
