Le Classic White Shirt: C’est French chic street style that you can wear from Paris Fashion Week

French Chic white shirts I'll Have What She's Having: A classic French Chic white shirt that's just a touch special I'd like to think of this as a palette cleanse from all the too-too of Fashion Week. Something so simple, so easy, that you may even have in your closet. I just love the simplicity of her look. The rolled sleeves, crimson lips, undone hair, and THOSE pants! So effortlessly chic. You can dress IT up, wear it to tone down something very bold, make it girly yet chic, or wear it with tuxedo flourish to a modern pantsuit. But, don't think that this kind of off-handed style is NOT strategic. The effortlessness of this very laid back classic style

I'll Have What She's Having: The best Emmy style of clean chic red carpet stunners You know that I'm generally not jacked up about red carpet fashion. Too often, it's overdone celebrities wearing costumes that look like they were stolen from a five-year old's fantasy dress up closet. OK, lucky for them that their stylist secured that fancy free dress for the night, but what does that have to do with YOU? There was some of that schmaltz at tonight's 65th Emmy Awards, for sure. But, I'll ignore that. What I don't ignore are the few women who opted for stellar chic and clean lines that didn't wear them. Stunning numbers that stood out in a sea of too much. And isn't

Help! My weight fluctuates! I have nothing to wear and too many clothes. Sounds familiar? Let's help this reader figure out what to buy + what to wear when your weight fluctuates. Derek Lam Asymmetrical Blouse Dear Sharon: I have a yo-yo weight that regularly fluctuates so I have an overstuffed closet with little to wear that's the right size at the moment. I have clothes that are too large and clothes that are too small, but barely a thing that fits me right now. I don't want to throw out what's snug in hopes that it will soon look nice on me. I struggle with finding flattering clothes that fit every day. How can I figure my wardrobe out? I

I'll Have What She's Having: Not too hot, not too cold summer boots + how to wear booties off-season I know, I know. It's getting to that time where you want to wear something new but you're still settled in the final days of summer (can you believe how fast it flew by?) and not quite up to investing in more warm weather clothing. Surely, it's still too sunny to think fall. So what to wear? Summer boots, the kind that can transition to fall have your name written all over it! Low heel ankle booties have been on the radar for a few seasons (thank you Isabel Marant & all those Parisian girls), and don't seem to be losing

Eating Your Way to Gorgeous- Sue Ann Gleason

You know that I'm ALL about getting your gorgeous on and making the most of what you've got. So when I heard about a way to "EAT Your Way to Gorgeous," as a diet for healthy skin + to illuminate beauty, I had to find out more. And, I'm totally on board. I caught up with culinary nutritionist & radiant life expert Sue Ann Gleason, the creator of the "Eat Your Way to Gorgeous" event to share her insights on how what you eat makes you even more, well, gorgeous. --S.H. >> MORE: Great posts about Wellness Sue Ann Gleason, the creater of the "Eat Your Way to Gorgeous," diet for healthy skin Sharon Haver: I love the idea of EATING to look gorgeous

When I start thinking ahead to my favorite fashion season, rather than going gaga about opulent accents, I think of what would be the best fall wardrobe staples the glue that plays nicely with the rest of my wardrobe. Here, you have it. My style in a nutshell: If I could encapsulate all my go-to timeless fall wardrobe staples over time, it would be iterations of a perfect fitted black turtleneck and a leather flare skirt. Ok, sometimes, it's wool. This look (Norma Rollneck turtleneck, Torre Leather Skirt, Doris Belt) from the J.Brand Fall 2013 Look Book has my name all over it. Why? It's sleek, powerful, strong, ageless, chic, pulled together, urban, and suitable for an hourglass figure as well as to

Honestly, how can you not resist a photo of a bulldog in leopard drag? All kidding & a cute dog picture aside, each of us have, at least once, committed a fashion faux pas. Albeit, intentionally or not, we have all suffered from the crimes of fashion to some degree. Listen up, it happens. Even if it was back in the day… the day of perms and massive earrings. (I think that was called the 80s and MTV style). Look at our cute bulldog gal above. Do you think that her curly hair flatters her saggy turkey neck? What about all that leopard? A little animal magnetism overload perhaps? What should she/we do? Put our head in the sand and stay clear of

Cate Blanchette & her Birkin in Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine

Entertain yourself with these style inspiring treats of a woman who lost it all (Cate Blanchett in Blue Jasmine), a gang who wants it all (The Pink Panther crime ring in Smash & Grab), and a performance artist (Marina Abramovic) who breaks the walls to connect art and audience in its deepest simplicity of being. Blue Jasmine Really, it's not the new Woody Allen movie. It's THE new Cate Blanchett movie Ahh, the aftermath of a boushy life. There's a rigid lifestyle credence when you're a tightly wound Upper East Side New York socialite. Once the smoke and mirrors are gone, Cate Blanchette's Jasmine character is left with not much more than her Birkin, a Chanel jacket, and a riviting performance that should

I'll Have What She"s Having: Do you want a versatile dress that goes from summer to fall with a few styling tweaks? Kate Moss is wearing a gorgeous Prada one for some styling inspiration. I know it's late in the season and you may not want to buy another summer item, especially if the sale isn't too great. I get it. Me too. But, what if you found a versatile dress (maybe even in your own closet), that happens to be a LBD to make life easier, and always looks chic AND is transitional into the next season? The perfect fit and flare little black dress is it! Just look at Kate Moss in Prada, above, and ask no more.

From Philadelphia to Monaco: Grace Kelly - Beyond the Icon at the McCord Museum Montreal

I'll Have What She's Having: French Canadian Chic Week continues with timeless Grace Kelly style via the "From Philadelphia to Monaco: Grace Kelly - Beyond the Icon" exhibition in Montreal. The Grace Kelly exhibition at Museum McCord in Montreal is more biographical than costume. As you walk through the galleries, what you see is deeper than the clothes themselves. It becomes the story of a young woman who rose from model to actress to Princess to style icon.

My espadrilles: Custom designed tan & black lace worn at the St. Suplice Hotel in Montreal, the Lola black platform wedge, and my red wedge espadrilles that started my obsession.

I've had a bee in my bonnet to find a replacement pair of handmade authentic espadrilles for some time. The kind that are brimming with history as timeless classics for runaround French Chic and usually made in France (think back to Brigitte Bardot in St Tropeze) or Spain (Penelope Cruz in Volver) by villagers who have been handcrafting these shoes for years. There are a few shops in Paris where I could pick them up, but I'm in New York where all points were leading to manufactured espadrilles from super cheap to designer espadrilles as they've been a hot runway trend for a few seasons. All, a riff on what I was after, but not the real deal. Tabitha Simmons designer espadrilles- lovely, for sure,
