penny loafers are back

…for men and women!

Whether you go bold à la “intense red” or “tulip” yellow, or keep it “sabbia” subtle – this is the driving moc that doesn’t stop. An animal print makes a statement, while suede keeps it simple.

Wear these fashion-meeting-function flats with white jeans, capris, linen pants, or a summer suit.

For the daring – and true retro irony… add pennies!!



spring 2011 nails: go basic or go bright

Spring Nails Must Haves

This spring is all about opposites: neutrals and brights. You’ll see the same woman who’s wearing monochromatic neutrals one day, sport shocking color-blocked-brights the next. The same goes for nail polish. When wearing an array of bolder colors, keep your nails nude and neutral. When toning down your outfit, let your fingers doing the talking with loud red, orange, pink, and coral.

My coveted neutrals of this spring are Essie’s “Topless & Barefoot” and Chanel’s “Django”.  For brights, Chanel’s “Mimosa” will be available for purchase in a few weeks. Infusing your day with shimmering daffodil yellow. OPI’s “Red-y to Runaway Love” is a great pop of red-orange.

Go basic, go bold, or go home.
