In Celebration of Edith Head's 116th Birthday!

The Return of Class is Constantly on my heart.

And, today I was going through one of life's hard moments where you have to make a conscious decision to keep going.  Then, lo and behold...I began to do a Google Search, only to find this picture of Edith Head.  How timely!  (All dresses!)


That began my fashion lesson on one of the greatest costume dress designer's ever known.  This eight time Academy Award winner brought fashion savvy, refined dresses to America's entertainment industry, fashion icons such as Audrey Hepburn.

May the Return of Class be America's heart beat again!

Nicole Miller Mixes Class with Modern Edge!

As a Classy Gal myself, I enjoyed Nicole Miller's Spring 2014 Line at NYFW this year.  She had classy pieces with a touch of elegance and artistic surprises throughout her line.

Here are a few of the pieces I enjoyed.  The subliminal originality is very much welcomed on this blog!

Her play with straight lines and cutting pieces mixed with strong hues of black, white and screaming bright greens (hair) was really fun.

I also appreciated the almost 1950s style hair styles and makeup (sweeping bangs, with strong red lips).  

But she keeps it modern with graceful and fun pieces like leather tops, flowing skirts, biker jackets, ripped jeans, bold hair, mixed patterns and high heeled pumps.




What do you think about Nicole's line?

Black and White Polka Dots!

Hey everybody!  It took me a while to learn that everything in life isn't Black and White, but I still love the look and like to keep my friends that way!  (Know what I'm getting ahead of time lol)










What's your fave black and white combo?  Stripes, polka dots, or classic (no pattern)?
