My Neck, My Scarf.


To scarf or not to scarf? To scarf, obviously. It's no surprise that you see more than half the female population wear scarves. They're stylish, cozy and affordable. It is rare to find such a versatile garment that looks attractive on nearly everyone. It is an item that can be worn on a woman of any size, height and style. If I am to run for Prime Minister one day, I’d scratch the pins and hand out scarves.

Preppy ain't perfect.





Each season carries new ideas, new trends and new looks. This year, more than ever, the “All American” composition is ideal for spring. Red, white and blue baby.  Preppy is coming back, at least for a little while.  It’s time to put away some of those faded, oversized shirts and bring out the constructive components of your wardrobe. In order to balance out spring’s unpredictable mess, I recommend clean cuts, bold patterns and an array of colours. Lastly, one must mix and match patterns, colours, and textures. Dressing preppy doesn’t mean dressing perfect.

The lost ones.



 
Is it me or is the clearance clothing bin slightly depressing? I cannot help but sympathize with the innocent, mangled clothes that lay at the bottom of the bin. How did they end up there? Will anyone ever take them home? Are they doomed to an eternity of loneliness, florescent lights and tight conditions? Sure there are some items that are hopeless, but there most certainly are some gems. My point is, the next time you walk by the clearance bin just take a look. If not for me, do it for the homeless garments that lay hungry for touch at the bottom of the bin.

Fresh Coat: San Tan-Tonio


This week's Fresh Coat is entitled, "San Tan-tonio," obtained from OPI's Spring/Summer 2011 Edition. This polish articulates a look that encompasses a sophisticated beachy lifestyle. It won't be the hot topic of your dinner conversation but it will still make an impression. Due to the maturity of the coat I recommend this polish for a younger crowd. A more aged hand does not carry the expression as well. Lastly, it is important to note that this polish can not only be worn in spring and summer but can be cycled throughout the year.
