It's The Remix!!!!!!!!

Reminiscing is always fun. Thinking of the good times of back in the day! Oshkosh B'gosh, The Stork Shop, London Fog rain coats, Tough Skins, and Jordache Jeans! Well today it's all about the Remix and bringing back the Old to make it New again! And I have set my sights on a few places(some old, some new) to help you recreate the Wonder Years!!!! Let's start with the New...A good friend of mine just put me on to a great website...theRed Room http://www.shopredroom.com/ Let me tell you a little bit about theRed Room. Creator Jan McGill, has come up with the clever idea of mixing designer and vintage clothing and created an online resale boutique based in Baltimore. What a great idea!!! If you are on the hunt for a vintage DVF dress or last seasons Miu Miu pumps, theRed Room is your place and this young lady has an eye for all things fabulous (she is quite Fab herself) and she lived in NYC for a while...Nuff Said! Check it out! Now for the old...Urban Outfitters has brought their reworked vintage creations to their online website. Check out Urban Renewal! I have been lucky enough to find a few cute, reworked dresses and tops, especially at the South Beach Urban location! It's definitely worth checking out @www.urbn.com So now you're ready to get out there and create some old to new trends of your own!!!!!

Malibu in South America????

Oh yes, people, it's true!!!! If anyone has ever been to Malibu, California and felt the nostalgia of watching the sunset on the water and experienced cool shopping in quaint boutiques and fabulous little cafes, then you will love Punta Del Este, Uruguay. My husband and I just returned from exploring South America and we discovered this cool getaway in awesome South America. Punta is known as the summer retreat for ritzy Argentinians and although it was the heart of winter, you could so see the potential. In Punta, there was a cool little area called La Barra. It had the best beaches, beautiful beach homes and a bit of the Mediterranean all mixed in. It was awesome!!!!! I can only imagine what goes on in this place when the heat is on! We will definitely be going back. You might want to check it out too!!!!

Tonight Im gonna Party like it's 1999!!!!!

The one who started it all!!!

Well, it may not be 1999, but fashion certainly doesn't mind. I have learned in my time here that fashion is an ever evolving entity. So, I'm taking you back to 1989. And this fashion trend brought one of my favorite artists to mind. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love me some Prince!!!!!!!!!! Owww- Uh!!!!! And he is definitely a fashion icon in my book. Prince has set many a fashion trend in his day. From purple, skinny pants, and ruffle shirts!!! Remember the ruffled shirt? Well, it's back and a little revamped for the '07!!!

Not just for shirts, but check out how designers have incorporated this fashion trend into other looks as well...From blouses to dresses to floral prints, to sweats!!!!! Now how's that for a remix?

Let's Party!!!!!!!!!

Owww-Uh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Live long and Dress well!!!!!
