Happy Birthday Diana!

KNOCKERS! Sunday, March 26, 2017 Original Diva Diana Ross, celebrated her 73rd birthday! Let’s commemorate her special day with a fashion retrospect of Mahogany, a Berry Gordy film released in 1975, starring Diana Ross and Billy Dee Williams. Mahogany is a cult classic rags to riches campy 70’s fairy tale of a young small town aspiring fashion designer to World’s Top Model, and all the spectacular fashion in between. Mahogany also spawned the hit song “Do You Know Where You Going To” and countless Diana Ross style imitators.

2017 Top Fashion Week Trend: Metallic Silver!

KNOCKERS!  Karl Lagerfeld’s Fall 2017 Chanel Show in Paris beautifully illustrated one of the best use of metallic silver in a collection during this year’s Fashion Month. PLUS, Lagerfeld had a rocket launch right in the middle of his runway. Amazing! The chic looks harkened back to a mixture of 1960s Jane Fonda’s Barbarella, a fashionable futuristic Judy Jetson with a touch of Emma Peel’s The Avengers spy chic, and of course, the timeless Chanel tweeds – all with touches ( a little bit and a lot) of metallic silver running throughout the collection. Read more about the  Chanel collection here.

What to Wear to Work When It’s Still Hot Outside

KNOCKERS!  What to wear to work when it is still hot as Hades outside and winter has yet to come? I live in an area where it’s either very hot or very cold, and Fall is short-timing it to Winter. Planning your #OOTD can be challenging when you need coverage for the cool mornings and early evenings, and removable layers for the hot afternoons.

I’m wearing NY Collection’s   handkerchief hem, beige and black polka dot dress. I layered it with a long sweater and beige and gold heeled sandals.

I’m All the Way Up!

KNOCKERS! Let nothing stop you from “Going all the Way Up” wherever your journey may lead! This is me dancing to Fat Joe and Remy Ma  atop the summit on Angel Island  in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Workout gear can be expensive, so look for good quality bargains at Ross or Target and/or your favorite thrift store; I purchased my workout leggings from Goodwill (they were brand new with original price tag attached).

The chevron pattern has been fashionable since approximately 1800 BC (Before Charlie Brown, and we know how fashionable HE can be). Currently the chevron pattern is experiencing a renewal or a refresh in bold colors, unusual placements and fabrications, surpassing trendy to tradition.
