Tim Gunn gives it to the ladies of KC

I had the best afternoon a few days ago spending a little time back stage with Tim Gunn, the models and the crew for the Kate Spade & Lucky Brand fashion show in Kansas City.   To work a show rather than put on the show, was quite a treat for me.  Especially to sit back and listen…

Tim Gunn Fashion Show – Kansas City

It’s time for fashion a la Tim Gunn! Kansas City will be a stop on the tour for Kate Spade/Lucky Brand Jeans runway show hosted by the one and only, Mr. Gunn. I had the opportunity to quickly meet and speak to Tim Gunn a few years ago and yes, he is as friendly in…

New women’s collection at Macys!

A fabulous new collaboration at Macy’s – Alberta Ferretti for Impulse. I can’t wait to get my hands on some of these pieces.  The fuchsia dress is top of the list.  A floral print is missing part of my spring wardrobe.  Definitely trying one from this collection with my fingers crossed. Join me on Facebook…

Magazine shoot today!

I’ve been running around the metro for two weeks trying to find great pastel items for today’s shoot.  It has not been easy because it seems that Kansas City women FINALLY crave color!  So the challenge was definitely a good one but I’m going to pull it off. It’s an ego boost to have someone…

Pastel color blocking – breaking it down

For…

Island Blues

Ask any designer where he/she gets inspiration and I’d bet that a very large percentage says “vacation”. Usually to a location with beautiful blue waters to offer tranquility and lots of flora and fauna for a stunning color palette. I long for open seas versus my landlocked Kansas location.  The best I can do for…

Kansas City Designer Spotlight: Brittany Davidson

Recently I covered Kansas City’s fashion week. Having been around this town a while and been used to the same designers doing the same thing…it was refreshing to see a new face. Especially one who can create a cohesive collection with the consumer in mind. Brittany Davidson surprised me.  She knows what it takes to…

Fashion Secret: comfort in heels

Unless you’ve been under a rock (if you have darling, welcome out) then you know I adore towering high heels.  Usually the platform variety. “How do you wear those shoes?” I’m often asked.  Rather than being the normal smart ass I am and saying something like “i put one on my left foot and one…
