GRAND GESTURES

We Can All Be Grand In Our OWN Way

We Can All Be Grand In Our OWN Way

Grand Gestures-

Door of Light

Can get you noticed, but sometimes it’s the smaller, less obvious notes that mean the most. Everyone feels pressured at this time of year to get the best gift, to shop and get that perfect something, to have the best tree, to entertain and be the perfect hostess or host. Let’s face it - most of us are not superheroes… and doing it all is just not going to happen. So relax , do the best you can. Forget about the BIG GESTURES FOR ALL. Give It to the smaller and more meaningful notes of kindness and generosity. Pay it forward!

Sometimes you have to get off the Merry GO Round! HAPPY HOLIDAYS

The Set

                                        The Set

RIDING IN THE CAR, with coffee and my husband..on the way to the beach, I was listening to Sirius Radio, and one of my favorite interviewers, Howard Stern, was interviewing one of my favorite comedians, Jerry Seinfeld. The show was hilarious..but also fashion (In)formative.

“Why does Jerry Seinfeld tie his look together with a sports jacket?”

 

 

         The Set

RIDING IN THE CAR, with coffee and my husband..on the way to the beach, I was listening to Sirius Radio, and one of my favorite interviewers, Howard Stern, was interviewing one of my favorite comedians, Jerry Seinfeld. The show was hilarious..but also fashion (In)formative.“Why does Jerry Seinfeld tie his look together with a sports jacket?”

In every monologue he is wearing one. His response, “It is my set,

I wouldn’t be funny without it. George Carlin wouldn’t work in a tie dye shirt either.”  The banter and pearls of wisdom didn’t end there. In fact we were bummed that we got to the beach too early to hear the full interview-it was that good, that we drove around the parking lot and sat there for a while longer, until we both looked at the waves - So naturally we had to get back to it later!  Working in the fashion, and photography/film world we all know of stylists and the fabulous crews that work on putting everything together…but ultimately it comes down to the personality, and individual style. Throw in a bit of juxtaposition and you might just have something “Special.” Enough to make ordinary-extroadinary!

Who knows when my favorite Comedians will sport my pocket squares

Check out the talk on Howard Stern with Jerry Seinfeld..there are so many fantastic moments…about casting for the show, back to the 80/90’s- friendship, trust, and of course Robin Quivers, Chris Rock, Will & Grace, Dave Chappell

Just listen to it…pearls.

Neoprene Fashion

 Neoprene Fashion About Art, Dance, and Leisure                            

Getting the last few days of summer in when you want it to last…this past weekend was incredible on Long Island, the waves were crashing, the temperatures were high and surfers were plenty.

 There was Neoprene on the sand, and some in the water. My new found friends were sporting their wetsuits and tempting the waves, and last looks of summer from the guys.  I am finding more and more designers using this fabric-(Neoprene), in new and inventive ways. Taking this sportier textile to the high end luxury market  and finding a new fit. It can create some fetching attitude. We wear leisure athletic wear on an everyday basis. It's fun to see how it plays out in everyday life, as more and more designers have embraced it. I am loving it on a grey ruffled sweatshirts, as pictured here in the designed sweater by Dice Kayek. I am finding it on bomber jackets, and on laser cut clothes...it translates to an active and fashion lifestyle. Maybe I will make a scarf collection with it. What are your thoughts on the textile? Comfortable? Chic?  Would love to hear from you. Looking forward to seeing it in Fall Fashion. Somehow it might make the last week of summer endless.
