Quick summer styling note: The 80s twisted head scarf is back, thank you Fendi!

Head scarves from the Fendi Resort 2014 collection
I don't know about you, well I do when I look back at those retro photos, but many a day/night in the 80's was spent wearing a twisted head scarf. Or pretty schmatta, if you will. Well, the cute little scarf continues to make a runway comeback. This time, thank you Silvia Venturini Fendi and Karl Lagerfeld for including the heady styling in the Fendi resort 2014 collection, pictured above.  It's an easy look to try. My favorite twist is: Hold the ends together and twist the scarf around Shorter scarves can be tied off to the side or behind the nape of your neck Longer scarves are best when twisted at the forehead for a take on a turban and

Azzaro Resort 2013 Collection

Azzaro Spring/Summer 2013 Resort Collection
The heady aspect of the Azzaro resort 2013 collection comes from the silhouettes, in which skin and transparency flirt with feminine and sensual shapes. A dress with a veiled "heart" opens around a diamanté ring reminiscent of Loris Azzaro's famous dresses. Likewise, the asymmetric little black dresses edged with the black fishnet previously worked by the designer. White leather appears as a tuxedo coat, jumpsuit and a dress with a deep V-neck. >>MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS Dresses are long, languorous embroidered sheaths or full-skirted shiny versions in jersey or lamé.

Loving the Vintage Vibe at Camilla and Marc’s latest CM Resort Swimwear Collection

Early Marilyn Monroe rocked a high waist 2-piece & so can you! I've been vacating at my Western retreat and have suddenly become fixated with one of my collection of retro Hollywood ski and Western photos that I used in the decoration of our place out here. It's an early photo of Marilyn Monroe on snow skis at the beach. The color-blocking of Marilyn Monroe's swimsuit looks so fresh to me now. Don't think it's the cutesy gimmick of the shot or the technicolor lighting that I'm focused on. It's what Marilyn is wearing that suddenly seems to look so modern and fresh to me. Her color-blocked, high waist 2-piece swimsuit seems so of the moment. And, yes, I'm grooving

What We Love About Carven Pre-Spring 2012

Runway Review: The re-birth of a label with a limitless reach, what with it's friendlier price-points and ageless appeal.

Best of Resort Fashion- A Season Ahead, Just In Time

Resort runways are often a precursor to what's in store for Spring. Let's consider... A girl could lose her head. Or at least spin it around so many times that it will catapult her neck and land in a frisson of colliding fashion seasons that all ineditably fall into one: What looks right on YOU now! Spring is shown in late summer (at least by the scroching temps merely a week before NYFW). Fall in early winter. Then, there's resort... resort? You have yet to think about autumn leaves! In this insane goggle-muggle where fashion is shown in the time frame of when retailers need to place their orders for the following season and magazines need to pull for their

“New York is the thing that formed me; New York is the thing that deformed me...” Patti Smith Runway Review: Rock icon Patti Smith was the style inspiration for the knockout Ports 1961 Pre-Spring 2011 collection by Tia Cibani. For anyone who has not had the amazing experience of seeing Smith perform live, particularly in a small venue, you are truly missing out on a brilliant force of music, poetry, and performance. From the days of being called the "Godmother of Punk, " to her riveting early album covers photographed by Robert Mapplethorpe, Patti Smith does it on her terms. Just Kids by Patti Smith Ports 1961 / Resort 2011 Ports 1961 Pre-Spring 2011 that references Smith's iconic presence is
