The clichéd masculine room is usually either a dark, messy man cave with sports posters and an ancient, ripped-up leather couch; or a stale, minimalist and ultramodern space with chrome fixtures and bare windows that speaks more 'gallery' than actual living quarters. It’s time to break out of those tired...

[disclaimer] I'll admit all-silver outfits are a bit too 'Silver Surfer' for me, but there's more than good reason to incorporate the cool metallic tone into your shoes, bags and other accessories.

I'm an islander woman and, as such, I'm always drawn to sandals and pieces that put perfectly toes on display. Whether its sky-high stilettos or practical flats, I'm a sucker for the brightly colored and heavily embellished when it comes to sandals for spring and summer. I know what you're gonna say. As...
Growing up in a household with four other women taught me many lessons. One of the most fun: women's tastes don't always agree. Naturally, as we grew older, my mom, three sisters and I developed very different tastes in music, food, men and fashion. As we all grow stronger ties with...
When I die, I hope the waiting room in heaven is furnished with an ornate tufted settee, a collage of vases with lush peonies and a chandelier with thousands of cascading translucent glass drops.

The sequins, the shine, the big hair. For some, the 80's were truly the best of ages. For us, it was the music. For some, it was the fashion. A decade marked by bold style, shocking colors, and rather strange silhouettes, the '80s were a time to experiment with big and...
