The More You Look

Leave a reply

I love the scattering of pailletes on this dress. Usually paillets are scattered on super sexy ball gowns, eding the organza overskirts that float above silk or satin draping. That makes this very special because it’s not a ball gown and it has a severe, conservative silhouette. Now, that first impression of conservatism is belied by the the ultra-modern shoulder pads and the exaggerated bow in the back – but that just makes the dress even more interesting. Another way that the initial conservatism is overwritten by design is in the fitted structured princess seam bodice that conforms so closely to the body. This is one of those lady-like dresses that will keep drawing closer, more admiring looks the longer it is studied.

Toto, We're Not In Woodstock Anymore

MiaMai recently released bell bottoms that Janis Joplin would have loved and you will see what I mean after the cut, but first, a moment of silence for the sheer chicawesomesaucegorgeousness that is this Keyn Jacket from MiaMai. [moment of silence] I have shown you the silver version already, but the Candy version deserves its own space. This jacket is more Prince than Janice – more fashion forward and chic than boho – and with it, the jeans take on a totally modern mood.

Olive's Mermaid

As a child, I had a book of proper fairy tales that didn’t have the Politically Correct and Sanitized versions in it. I still loved the stories – but was always especially mesmerized by the story of the Little Mermaid – who in the story, endured the agony of walking on knives with each step she took on land. This was the price she paid for having legs and being with the man she’d fallen in love with.

Mermaids are always a little sad to me, because of this. Continue reading →

Glam Details

Leave a reply

The success or failure of a jacket always hangs on the details. How does it fit? How does it fasten? Are there innovations in the sleeves, shoulders, collar or fastenings? Does the shape flatter your shape? How does it work with other clothing?  We all have different details that we prioritize over others. Some people really focus on the shoulders and what shape they create. Others look for embellishments and fasteners. With the new Keyn jacket from MiaMai, no matter what fashion detail you value most, Monica Outlander has made the effort to satisfy your appetite for innovation and design.  With loving attention lavished on the sleeves, collar, cuffs and textures, this is a jacket that you will treasure and find many opportunities to wear – just to show it off.

Put on those dancing shoes

Oh yes! This dress from MiaMai is made for clubbing and if only I had not laid down at noon and slept the entire day away yesterday, I would have worn it to the Velvet for Maht’s sure-to-have-been fabulous music set. I know it must have been fabulous because I slept through it and missed the entire set. This fever I have had this past week has really kicked my ass. But I am finally starting to feel better and so I was able to snap a few photos last night.

Say Yes to the Dress

Leave a reply

One of the silliest reality shows on cable is ‘Say Yes to the Dress” about the ups and downs of selling wedding dresses as a high end New York retailer known as Kleinfeld’s. It’s inane, but I had to watch it once just because I loved the name of the show. I love to say Yes to the dress – and it’s so easy when the dress is as lovely as this Wilder gown from MiaMai.
