<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> Every venue is topsyturvy. From economics, to health and insurance (just to name a few) everything is out of control without a single plan in sight. Here's the sad part: “Fashion follows the culture and well being of the times”. In other words: today's catwalks and fashion magazines are a mess!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">All of the
guests paraded around the museum, “checking out” who wore the
most outrageous “get up” and could “vogue” the best pose. I
took a pocket full of notes from last evening's playbook and decided
to twirl into insanity along with the czars of fashion....humor in
tow.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">Now
if this wasn't a well planned fashion trick. Over the past few years,
jewelry designers have all but shamed us into tossing out any
earrings that were larger than a coffee bean. Being obedient
fashionistas, we obliged. Today, ginormous is trending and persuading
us to trim our lobes with “big-n-beautiful” earrings. I, for one,
am going to give'em a try. </span>

for the “mix.. but don't match” looks”. These designers are
serious! There is no rhyme or reason for this nonsense. Perhaps there

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">I
have a dear friend who had to have a sort of tumor removed. The
Doctor said: “we've never seen such a spongy pink mass...it was
larger than a soft ball! Do you have any strange eating habits?”
After giving this question some considerable thought she said: “
well, ever since I was a little girl, I'd buy a piece of penny bubble
gum on the way to school. I'd eat a piece on the way to school and
the other half on the way home”. “And when did you stop chewing
the gum?” “Oh I haven't stopped and I even swallow the gum so I
don't make a mess on the sidewalk”.The doctor replied: "that ship has sailed...forever"!!!!! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">Another
friend “got hitched” late in life. With no time to waste her
doctor suggested that the bride and groom get a few eggs &
sperms connected on a petri dish. Nine months later a perfect little
girl was born. “Better insert another one ...nature's clock is
ticking” the OBGYN said. Sure enough, nine months later, another
perfect baby girl came into this world... a year apart and identical
twins!</span></div>

My husband once said “<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">Please
don't bring any more china home from the Flea tomorrow... we simply
don't have any shelf space”. Upon returning home with a handful of
treasures,... my dear sweet husband said: “ I thought I requested
NO ROOM IN THIS INN NO MORE CHINA!” With an Irish twinkle in my
eye... I said: “Oh I thought you said: nothing more from China”.

On oh so many levels, applause is due
Ralph Lauren. Congratulations for celebrating fifty years at the top
of the fashion world as he continues to bring the past into his
collections, while connecting standards of style to new ideas. His
family values and philanthropic efforts while forging international
efforts towards peace has earned him an Honorary Knight Commander of
The Most excellent Order of the British Empire. This KBE will be
presented to him in the spring in London.

Quilts, infused into many
Fall lines, remind me of the quilt that I crafted into a skirt for
our opera opening 30+ years ago. I also made (with an idea in
mind...not a pattern on the drawing board) this cover up and
strapless top. “Let go and let God”...is so overused...but
indeed that is exactly what I did that day.</div>

Grabbing ideas from
fashion magazines is a game of wit and wisdom as we mix the old with
a new item to make a real fashion statement. Friends say: “you've
REALLY got an eye”. We all have a curious vein and a funny bone. We
just need to study, look around, ask questions and always color
outside of the box.

I have shelves full of
argyle patterned cashmere sweaters. I've never entertained the thought
of enhancing them with jewels, beads and flowers. Now I have a plan
that will go into action soon. Each fresh thought is another puzzle
piece of my Fall/Winter wardrobe.

I spotted this
“rhinestone cowboy” jacket in a magazine and immediately

just moved up to the “spotlight” part of my closet. Oh I

Having a creative unique
style is sort of a “connecting the dots” way of designing a look.
Last year, I pulled this mid-calf skirt up chest high, put a belt
around it and added a white shirt.

This year, layering is
happening in both the casual and sports worlds. Who would have ever
considered wearing a turtleneck under a spaghetti strapped sequin
dress. Perhaps we are all preparing for a “global cooling”
season. I get and can appreciate most of the layering looks. I put
the brakes "full on" in regard to the strapless bra over a sweater. As
the kids say: "not my jam".</div>

Chrissy Teigen is a girl
after my own heart. She is a model, mother, cookbook author, married
to singer and songwriter John Legend. Best part: she has no filters
and her husband loves her for it. She is hilarious, brilliant, and
isn't afraid to express her feelings. We can all take a page from
from Chrissy's magical playbook.

I'm still trying to wrap
my head around these two fashion statements. I don't quite know what the
designers are trying to say. I can try a sequin top with wide wale
corduroy pants or a sequined skirt with a ski sweater...what have I
got to loose... if I don't leave the house!!!</div>

From Prada to Kors: from
Neimans to Saks... every house and store has “doesn't make any
sense at all" combinations of miss-matched tops, skirts, animal print with plaids and florals. It's
fun building a look that doesn't match at all and then being bold
enough to give it a twirl out into this world ...a world that isn't
making much sense either. “Fashion Follows The World”.</div>

Fantastic for Fall.
Whimsical for Winter. Keep an eye out for these architectural lines
in the coat arena. They are on all of the catwalks and perhaps might just be
in your closet soon. High style coats are always quality “investment
dressing”.</div>

Let me jog your memory.
Do you remember VERA scarfs? Back in the 70s, this was one of the few
outfits VERA ever designed. I am nuts for it! The unbelievable chic
skirt and cuff match and then the horizontal zip front top is a magnificent finish. More than
50 years ago, VERA nailed it and I found it at the flea last month!
I stepped up to the plate when I made this cocktail olives necklace.
Inspiration is everywhere. Just be daring to give your ideas a try.
What have you got to loose?</div>

This sequined top had
seen better days until I decided it needed a face lift. It was going
to be tossed or made anew. The “S” in the front stands for
Solmssen and the “1943” is the “with pride” year I was born.
From black tie events to jeans-n-t-shirt parties... I have a blast
wearing it! I'm a Hansel and Gretel kind of “fashionista” leaving
sequins all over town!</div>

Just as I was about to
purchase this velveteen dress, Andy Warhol came to mind. I Googled
his flower paintings and sure enough...someone was influenced by his
work or perhaps copycatted his famous flower painting! Inspired by
stripes with prints, I tucked this little sweater under the dress and
got crazy creative with this necklace.</div>

As much as I love this
girl...her attitude, her beauty and her simple yet exquisite
demeanor... I feel the opposite vibe with these $1,500.00 tennis
shoes. “To each his own” Following fads, trends and fashion is
all well and good. We just need to pay attention and make sure we are
not following a pied piper right out of town. Animals are all
hibernating. Might be a good time settle in, to curl up with a good
book...or better... write one! I just wrote one. It's so exciting and Amazon published if for pennies: "Transfer Your Confidence”:
Unlock Inner Strengths That Conquer Insecurities. Best part...all
profits are going to a grateful charity.</div>

Fun comfortable footwear is given this
Spring and Summer. Pedicures are a necessity. Enhancing summer
sandals is as simple as defrosting a peach pie. Try your creative
luck by gluing huge retro earrings, fabric trim, bits of faux fur
trim and ribbon on to new or old sandals.

ostrich feather trim. Without hesitation, I ordered a few colorful

Maybe some designers have temporarily
run out of ideas. Maybe they go back to collections of previous
statements and haphazardly toss them on to models today. Perhaps,
they find inspiration from old movies. Try as I might, I can't wrap
my head around these looks. It's still fun to cherry pick an element
or two here and there and freshen up my own personal hot weather wardrobe.</div>

There are a few ways to get ready for
summer swim suit time. For starters, a bit of exercise, diet and
self-tanner. Here's what works for me every summer: I simply slip a
swim suit on to a hanger and place it in the kitchen between the
refrigerator and the liquor cabinet! Every year... this plan works less and
less. It's like hiding a box of candy from myself!

“I'm glad to see your back” I say
when my eyes land on a back as timeless and elegant this one. On the
front side, in my opinion this look should stay on the catwalk. IThird image: if your arms aren't totally buffed, you'll be thrilled to find these
“sleeves” online. The back and arms attach in the front. They
camouflage kimono arms and can even be worn with a strapless or
spaghetti strapped tops.</div>

Circling back to my major “fed-dish”
shoes: the ribbons-buttons could be copied and with the help of a
cobbler. Your local shoe guy could also change heels to
these stack-o-balls. The socks are a new cool rendition of the
“Jane Fonda” workout leg warmers. All: “hot fun in the
Summertime”.

When I take dinners out of the
freezer and place them in the microwave, I wear a dinner ring! Isn't
that what they are for: defrosting and microwaving!?!?After buying a
few (without jewels) rings (upper right side of this image)
from the hobby shop, I glued single earrings, buttons & broken
pins on to the disks. I get more compliments on these “fauxbulous”
rings than any of my real McCoys!</div>

Many designers have incorporated
scarves into their silhouettes. Although the flip flops and tennies
are making a statement, bulky shoes paired with delicate dresses
aren't my summer accessory trajectory. My scarf addiction is at the
ready, hanging on narrow curtain rods behind a door. I've already
tried tying a few on to a belt over leggings and skirts... it's a “go
for it”summertime pleasure and is getting me nearly dancing and
twirling down our street!</div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I applaud these two icons of the fashion world for their creativity, inclusive diversity and belly laugh senses of humor. They keep resetting their own individual bars of quality and excellence as they continue to break glass ceilings and rise above fear and the undeniable forces of change. It was an honor and a privilege to meet both Doris and Anna and to witness their high standards as they keep reinventing their companies. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Fun Fact: I took this photo of Anna when I was covering Fashion Week for Gentry magazine nearly a dozen years ago. She was kind enough to move “her people” aside allowing me to take a great picture sans her ever present sunglasses!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I can’t sit still whenever a GAP commercial shows up on “the tube”. They are delightfully infused with contagious positive vibes. GAP has an unique way of balancing traditional “tried and true” styles with fashion forward looks. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">As soon as VOGUE arrives in our mailbox, immediately I read: “the letter from the editor”. Every month, Anna inspires me with her edgy and sometimes feisty open-ended conversations. In her own unique provocative demeanor, she engages her readers to question the issues of the day. Her integrity is spot on. Below are a few exquisite models from her current magazines. Their style, intelligence and emotions are </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">so tender, vulnerable and deep. Many of today's movements are reflected in their eyes.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The following ten images were pulled from stories in the current issue of VOGUE. From a cover, to a famous family, all stories of family ties. From a London rock star and his lovely wife, to a Muslim politician with her family, to an autistic brother and his three sisters to an innocent child being taught, by her fashionista mother, how to properly use make-up . These stories touched my soul and opened my heart to make room for positive changes in my life and the world. Many people of power are not being </span>silenced<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> or turning a blind eye rather standing up for </span>their<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> beliefs and their God given rights.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Daily, I am inspired by images on the pages of Vogue. I simply grab little bits of this look and that style and combine them into my fashion statements. I was so pleased to find this velveteen dress at our local flea market. Dittoing today’s stripes with prints, I slipped a rainbow cashmere sweater under the dress. I thought: “humm this print looks familiar”. Indeed it is exactly like the Andy Warhol flower series. SCORE!

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">Designers are embellishing embellishments. Trust me: ”enough” is just a tiny start.

the best models are challenged. These
pieces are not from young designers... showing their first lines . Oh

are pulling their catwalk rugs a bit while shaking up their

traditional wool Scottish kilt.</span></span></div>

That said, put your craft hat on and trim or
may I say “over trim” a pair of today's heels . A tube of E6000
glue and yer good to go, go, go! Feathers, faux fur, broken jewelry,
hobby store beads is all you need to stud your heels or boot ankles.
If this is a temporary “look”, simply make mini-fun bracelets with hobby store stretch thread and roll them up to the top
of your heels and boots.</div>

While paging through a few magazines,
was reminded of Nora Ephron's book: “I hate my Neck”. Queen
Elizabeth always wore the “bunched up” lace collars and over the
top jewels and brocades. She'd be giving Kate a run for England's
fashionista extraordinaire today.</div>

A bit of: “update your purse” news:
all the designers (wonder who sends out the “NOW” memos?) are
incorporating straps that are VERY wide and long. Here's a tip: have
your cobbler make a strap out of an old belt...one that might have
gotten too small! Decorate the hell out of it. Oh and have the
cobbler make it interchangeable so you can go back to your outdated
strap.

earrings and wine tops for necklaces! I've also made ear clips using the new $1.00 gold coins.

I pulled them off, put one in each of her hands and said: "now don't tell me you like my blouse!"</div>

Bite into a cool crisp apple... that's
the sound I remember when running through and crushing mountains of
fall leaves. The September issues are out: the kids are back in
school: it's time to sink into Autumn: with attitude and pizzazz. Relax and breathe in all that
Fall has to offer.</div>

Don't try to make sense of the LOOKS of
this season... that ain't going to happen. “Matchie-Matchie” it
is not. Like a big pile of fall leaves, get ready to sweep ancestors
of fashions into your wardrobe. Have fun with it. Don't try to figure
it out.

With the addition of a flyswatter full
of glitter bugs on the collar, summer's combination of camel with
pure white is still on top of September's list of greats. Here is my
test run: a rhinestone studded dragonfly Christmas ornament, a bumble
bee pill box and a vintage French locust pin.

It's time for “Craft Shop 101”.
Break out the glue-n-glitter and wake up your inner child. These head

I've seen locker rooms full of these
sports letters on sparkly tops. So I ordered my birthday year number,

Invest in a glue gun and a spool of
bracelet elastic. Pretend like you are decorating cupcakes and cover
your tired summer sandals with tons of jewels. Take the bracelet
elastic and thread pearls & beads for an ankle-sized bracelet. Repeat these instructions with a piece of fringe. Amp up a simple
pair of heels!</div>

Peter Pan collars are scattered
throughout this seasons magazines like Fall leaves caught in the

season long.</div>

Hit me with a sledge hammer so that I can try to believe how many fashion houses are selling pretty pricey woven
straw bags. Nearly four grand for a straw bag! Forgive me, but I just can't wrap my head around this...not too creative idea. Although they are fresh and fun, I'll be spending my
allowance on drawers full of “I can't get enough of them” sunglasses.</div>

I leave you with a fairy-tale slice of
a recent Bill Cunningham post in The Sunday New York Times. He and

invest in a few “fringe benefits” and TWIRL your way into and
through Summer 2015.<br />

pedicured feet: pass... no thanks... nada pour moi.</span></div>

she going with this?) while in Mexico and wandering through street
bazaars ... I was intrigued with the texture and weaves of Mexican

From year to year I wonder, how do
designers all come up with the same sensational silhouettes? In the

Once again... I went on a safari hunt in my
jewelry box. After clipping the pins and hooks off of these faux and real silhouettes, I

The next day, I found
this crazy-n-cool-army-camy purse at a resale shop for less than a week's allowance. NEED had

How nuts is it that some gift tissues
cost nearly a dollar a piece. If tissues are more wrinkled than my

can! Just fist-wrinkle them and get to
wrapping. Save a tree and save a dollar for happy hour.</div>

CUTE as a button has never been my trajectory. Lady
like hasn't ever been a goal. That said...this lady like look is
pretty cute. Perhaps....maybe I'll give it a try for my next “ladies

I rifled through our family 8mm movies
and found a reel of an Easter vacation in Palm Springs. WOW, in one single frame, there it was... my “NOW” swimsuit with, can you believe it: sleeves! I took a picture of the frame, removed the family and sketched in the rest of the image. In more ways than I'd ever admit to,
I've always been way, way out there. In more ways I will happily admit to, I've always laughed my through life.<br />

I'll bet some one with great style is wishing
that she had held on to this elegant box purse. I spotted it at “All Things

I sliver leafed the plastic domes for
earrings. The ginormous pearls were vase fillers from The Pottery Barn that I strung together. I glued six of my favorite champagne tops on to the 60s sliver purse. Here's an idea: your champagne will keep it's bubbles for days if you drop the handle of a silver spoon into the opening. Oh, if a necklace breaks when you are vacation this summer, don't fret...you can re-string it
with dental floss.<br />

I'm obsessed with the dressing that I make
for my kale salad. <br />
Parmesan cheese, orange slices, red onion and
hazelnuts ...<br />
finished off with Aftelier Perfumes pink pepper<br />
and pink
grapefruit mists and heavenly Italian vinegar.<br />

Retro primitive accessories... in bright colors... are a truly happy 50's look across the pond this summer. Best part for us on this side of the pond: they finish off to perfection, a "box of beads necklace" and a completely mismatched slacks and shirt duo. It's fun; give it a try!<br />

“You could sell these” is the very
flattering compliment I hear every time I wear one of my clutch
bags...we do “wear” our purses...right? After years of making
dozens of placemat clutches, I decided to film a “simple as pie”

in minutes.<br />

“Everything that's old is new again”.
We're going to a '60s MOD gala next week. I rifled though the relics
section of my closet and retrieved this nearly vintage Escada knit
suit for the event and made ...yet another placemat clutch. <br />

To celebrate Jean Paul Gaultier when he
came to San Francisco, I trimmed a faux croc placemat clutch with
post card pieces of Paint By Number pictures, his name with scrabble
chips and turquoise smiling Buddha beads. </div>

Filled with enthusiasm and excited and wearing my FAV Gaultier jacket, I headed to the de Young museum to hear his talk. He was enthused and excited to see my ensemble and asked for my card: twice! <br />

Last winter, I CHOPPED these sweaters up into “PB” style: Before Prada designed her Spring 2013 look. After boiling and shaping two large cashmere sweaters, I cut flowers out of the pink one and CHOPPED the turtleneck, cuffs and hem off the blue one. I'll make a winter cap with the turtleneck piece, scrunchies and headbands with the cuffs & hem pieces. I finished the sweater with a few antique mother-of-pearl buttons centered on the flowers.<br />

“Go figure/Who knew” that faux fur anythings would become such statement “must haves” this summer. I scored a few “yah coulda fooled me” (made in Japan in 2000 ) rolls of faux fur at our local antique fair. Tap plastics cut the bracelets to size. Worn between otherwise noisy, stacked up bangles, I'm rarely out the door without one..or two.<br />

Chic and practical rarely describes a
guy's thing. Now that cell phones can do anything, it's the only
thing a guy needs. To make this accessory accessible, I accessorized
it. I CHOPPED the tips off a tie and sewed the bottoms closed.<br />

Give
this a try: it's just like sewing up a turkey. No one will ever see
your handy work. How way cool is this pocket square chic and
practical detail that encases a cell phone and a pen. Can't wait to
get creative with the center section of the tie... maybe a belt,
headband, bracelet, or trim on a purse?</div>

Here in California, we are so happy
when Cinco de Mayo falls on a margarita infused weekend. I was
double happy this weekend when INSTYLE on line informed me that my
“Day of the Dead” rain boots/Burberry waxed rain jacket combo
would be their pick of the week. Last fall, they also liked a combo
a sent in to the magazine. OK... it's happy hour and the BARZ open.</div>

Inspired by Film Noir, designers have
chosen to make this a black and white Spring. Just to spice up this
salt and pepper colorless combo, they have added a pinch of red and
yellow into the mix.</div>

From Peter Pan collars block patterned

“Style is everything...style is a way
of life. Without it, you're nothing” Mostly self taught and told by

travel” is a not to be missed movie about Diana. Her guts and humor
made... “can't and no” impossible words to live by.</div>

Oktoberfest is nearly fini. Still, I
must show you a compilation photograph of three generations...
celebrating the season wearing traditional gray suede German
lederhosen. My husband about 80 years ago, my son around 40 years ago
and his son this year. All photoshopped into one timeless image. </div>

This Fall, I've been noticing a
plethora of fur trimmed accessories. This phenomenon may be due to
yet another Anna Karenina movie that will be coming out in a few
weeks. Just to get into the know/now of it all, I trimmed a
collection of vintage fur collars with pearls crystals and beads.<br />

Exquisitely constructed out of
Australian Ostrich skins, sad to say it was infused with a sort of:
“been in grandmother’s attic too long” certain j<i>e ne sai

tissue lined plastic bag and let it just sit for a week. The odor
vanished and the trimming began.</div>

Without even looking at the price, I
snapped up this ZAC POSEN number. From black tie to jeans,<br />
I can snap
a waist and style dramatic cuffs into it's silhouette. Yup, I'm mad for this one.<br />

This past summer... a few second hand, or
should I say: a few second foot shoes, with my name on them... called
to me from various “new to me” shops. I felt that: this girly
girl simply had to answer these calls...again and again and again. All flats. All feel fantastic. All flat out fab-boo.<br />

Maybe it's the snob in me, but: “crafts
person” is not a title I adore. Designer or artist is the tail one
can pin on this donkey. That said... in a crafty way, I painted 75
California Poppies on this $10.00 Salvation Army “Alice Blue Gown”
and wore it under a $20.00 flea market 1960's I. Magnin Hermes orange
coat to The San Francisco Opera Opening. It was a real twirl of a
night with my prince charming.</div>

Last week, after escorting me to the
opening of The San Francisco Fall Antique Show, Prince Peter took this picture of me, using a new impressionistic process. After a night
of MUCH TOO MUCH, which is always TOO MUCH... I suggest using this very forgiving painterly process.</div>

This year, the theme of the antique
show was nautical. The following day, I couldn't resist wearing my:
“I've had it forever” 1920's wool swimsuit to the nautical
fashions lecture. Although my blouse added a bit of weight to the
suit, I can't even imagine ever swimming laps in it. </div>

I made a belt out of a STRIP TEASE belt
buckle and a STRIP of plastic.<br />

These clear plastic bangles are easy as
pie to make. That said: I'd never attempt to make a pie.For starters... I had 2
inch tubes cut and polished. Next: I simply glued
buttons, pins, earrings, sea glass and beads around the plastic bangles. A little gold leaf here
and there and now I've got the NOW/NEW/IT gold cuffs goin' on... on my wrists for just a
few bucks.<br />

Last month I bought these “every
designer is using them on everything” studs by the yard trim and then I waited and waited
impatiently for inspiration. <em>Voila</em> the idea came to me: a simple
black clutch with rows of trim... and now... just like in the fashion magazines... I'm all studded out for Fall.<br />

At our First Sunday Flea Market, I
noticed a lovely tea set and a pretty creative tee shirt.<br />
The guy in
the red beard kept the “T” shirt while I prepared a spot of “T” in the
“T” pot.</div>

Wishing you the time to IN JOY all the magic and beauty that
these Autumn days offer us.
