The first time I was drawn to Tory Burch was because of the logo. What can I say, it happens, I mean wasn’t that the case for the Apple? But then over the years and mostly in Europe, I have fallen in love with her fashion sense and style. So, naturally I found a few dresses for the summer here and paired it up with dress up and dress down shoes option from here and here to express my own interpretation of versatility.
I adore gowns with open backs, especially ones that make a statement. I think it is the best option for small breasted women and those who are not so voluptuous all around. The fun thing about it is that some women over 40 can actually support the look, providing that it is tastefully done. Check out some picks from here:
One of the best thing that could happen to a woman is the fact, she either lives in a metropolitan city or has access to it within a 30mile radius. I happen to be very fortunate in that I live in San Francisco and although our fashion sense isn’t anything to brag too much about (don’t hate me locals) I love walking through union square to window shop and occasionally treat myself to some of my favorite fashion designers. Just thought I’d share that with you 🙂
What is it about lace and tulle? Every time I come across a dress or a gown with some lace and/or tulle, I grab it off the rack and try it on. Don’t ask me why. I knew I should have been a wedding gown designer. Anyway, check out some of my favorites:
I realized when I titled this blog that although my focus is mostly towards the women over 40, what I am suggesting for comfort shoes is really for any woman to consider. Check out some of my favorites below and click here to find yours.
It is officially “the wedding season” and with it, the collection of beautiful pastel colored bridal party gowns are finally making their way, slowly but surely into the traditional department stores and boutiques (online doesn’t count in this case) and although there are many beautiful colors on display, I can honestly say various shades of pinks and lavender from here are my favorites:
In fashion, not every style or design looks good in every color, so when shopping for a special occasion gown or shoes (in this case) it is always good to consider the color while choosing the style. Let me know what you think about the examples below, which color looks better on the style of shoe?

I have to admit, although I love color, I cannot get enough of black when it comes to fashion. I should have worked for Chanel :). With that said, I am in a desperate search for a cocktail dress for a party I am hosting. Although, I have been asked to wear a long gown, I cannot help admire some of the little black cocktail dresses which I have found here. Which one do you like? Guess which one I liked? I will reveal my choice tomorrow
