I&#8217;d love to share my thoughts on the first episode of the new Project Runway season, but I fell asleep within the first half hour. That may be because it was  a bit of a yawn because it was just like previous seasons, except that it took place in LA instead of New York. Or, [...]]]></description>

Get a consultation before you get the haircut. I have schizo hair&#8230;straight in the winter and curly in the summer which has led  to many a bad haircut. When I go to a stylist for the first time, I&#8217;m too embarrassed to say &#8220;hold everything&#8221; when I fear the [...]]]></description>

I have three words for Michelle Obama, &#8220;elegant, understated fashion&#8221;. She simply has too many choices; she needs to learn to be a good editor. Style is as much about what you don’t choose as what you do.




 
American fashion is about uncomplicated clothes with clean lines worn with a dash of panache. Iconic American designers like [...]]]></description>

I don’t read Glamour often; occasionally I’ll leaf through my daughter’s issues and I find it to be geared to 20-30 year olds. But this article from Glamour.com has some good advice for dressing slimmer without the typical stodgy recommendations like ­­­­“wear a scarf near your face to draw attention up”…

Don’t ever think that fashion is inconsequential! As well as reflecting the times in which we live, fashion speaks volumes about who we are and what we want to project into the world. This is especially true of those who don’t care how they dress—that’s the strongest message of all.
I love this dress that Michelle Obama [...]]]></description>

However, I haven&#8217;t watched this season as diligently as past seasons&#8211;I&#8217;ve seen each episode, but sometimes out of order and my impressions are somewhat mixed-up. Or maybe the mixed-up feeling comes because I don&#8217;t see any shining designers [...]]]></description>

One of my favorite blogs, Fabulous over 40, posted this entry about how dowdy Laura Bush looks in comparison to Cindy McCain. I agree the two are a good example of how dressing in expensive clothing doesn&#8217;t mean you look good.
