No Shame or No Clue- You’ve gotta feel the breeze

Embarrassing moments- Ripped jeans with no rescue. Accidents happen. Some of us would even be mortified. Case in Point: You are minding your own business and bend just the wrong way when you hear the dreadful chrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr of a seam separating itself from the threads that keep your modesty, or naughty bits, in place. No thread. No time to race home. You tie a sweater around your waist in hopes that you are not publicly found out. You sit with your legs pinned together and try to keep something over your lap. You love those jeans. A ripped knee is okay, actually rather in style at the moment. A ripped rear, well the tailor can patch that

The idiot-proof guide to Euro-style scarf folding I bought some cute scarves and afraid that when I tie them I look like my grandmother. What's the best way to wear a scarf and look on trend for fall? (Cincinnati, OH) >>WATCH: My how to wear a scarf video The big, slouchy scarf is having its American fashion moment. I've been interviewed about this a few times recently, with more to be published. But, what about this so-called trend? Europeans have been casually wrapping a long or very wide scarf around their neck in cafes from Paris to Rome with all spots in between, up and down, or left and right for as long as I can remember. Perhaps, this classic

Hot Legs… Pantyhose makes a comeback!

Hosiery Alert: Pantyhose is back in fashion! Hot Legs- Pantyhose makes a comeback! The Pantyhose Portfolio…Expand your style sense with the hottest hosiery The right to bare legs has become one hot debate for the past number of years with three sides up the middle on when to wear pantyhose or not. There are those tanned and toned creatures of perfection who cannot wait for the chance to show off some hot looking legs. Then, the old school mamas who would rather kiss their soccer mom lipgloss away than go without pantyhose, and some rightly so! And then there are the rest of us who fall in the middle: You get fatigued working that fake tan and what about those

Baggy Jeans – It or Miss?

I get it but not so sure, I want to “get it” in my wardrobe. Baggy boyfriend jeans are this season’s It Jean, now that skinny jeans are so old closet. Katie Holmes has come a very long way in her style metamorphosis and the media won’t let us forget that. In comes Tim Gunn, as quoted in People, with a dash of common sense, “We realize how much style she's capable of. I don't get it," when noting Mrs. Cruise is out of control in her new frump look. But, we are talking about it and lot’s of pr is way better than being left for reruns of Dawson’s Creek. We’ve been pushing these fab styled number in our

Moose of the Moment and Musings from the West

Who said you can’t find chic in the highest mountains? Ok, we know that Jackson Hole is relatively fashion-free. It’s where Patagonia is my Prada and Marmot is my Margiela, and our Western is Marlboro Man iconic. After awhile you really want to go gaga for shoes not for their traction, but for their style appeal… what you wear in Jackson Hole, stays in Jackson Hole! Yeah, the Grand Tetons are amazing, the air is crystal clear but I am jonesing big time for a “real” fashion fix… I may have an escape in Wyoming, but I AM a New Yorker true and true. >> Wanna try some western shopping out west, maybe not so much Moose of the Moment:

Flighty Beauty: The Bird Poop Facial

Nightingale droppings for better skin are a geisha secret!? When you thought you have heard of almost everything and you really believe in the theory of six degrees of separation, the strange can be a little close to home. I was on the edge of my seat to see the Talk Soup Clip of the Week for the Bird Poop Facial aka the Geisha Facial first seen on CNN. Not weird enough? Leave it to me to know the bird poop guinea pig, Mindy Lubell. Mindy and I have discussed beauty treatments before, but why this I ask? Why not? Mindy says, I’ve been going to the Shizuka Spa in New York for years. It’s an

Dear Sharon: I'm seeing bright colors all over the place—it's not the same shades that I'm used to expect in clothing colors, but rather bold and daring vivid hues. I like to experiment with fashion but I'm very afraid that if I don't wear this color trend the right way I may just end up looking like one of those wacky ladies with the way overdrawn red lips, purple pantsuit, and a cat on a lavender leash-- you know who I mean! Help me figure out how to stylishly add
