"modern world" stacy lomman new york...

the lovely stacy lomman is feverishly working on her fall 2012 collection...and we can help in being a part of this fabulous collection...personally...i have loved (and coveted) pieces from each collection that she has done so far...but this takes the cake...as seen below...feast your eyes on the long faux ostrich vest which will be seen in this fall 2012 collection...i mean really...the sketch alone is already making me drool...can you imagine the real thing?

so...stacy has been busy busy busy...

"Over the past year and a half, amazing things have happened. I've been featured in WWD, Dstripped magazine, LIFE.com, and interviewed by the Huffington Post, CBS News and Tenacity Radio's, "Got Style?". I am also a finalist in the women's ready-to-wear category for the Fashion Group International's, 2012 Rising Star Awards (winner to be announced on Jan. 26th)"

i was going to go into an explanation of how hard it is to get a collection out these days...or for that matter...to run any small business...but wendy brandes did a most wonderful write-up in the huffington post..."the agony and ecstasy of a small business" let's do our part and support stacy...support "made in the u.s.a."...every little bit helps...can you imagine if we all gave up one or two lattes...how easy is that?

when you are ready...here is stacy's kickstarter link...we only have until sunday january 29th...every little bit helps!

stylish and fabulous at 98...

i came across this article a few days back in the huffington post...posted it to my facebook page...hope you are following me there... =) thought i should post it here as well...i mean...everyone should know about the fabulous rose...

this was written by ari cohen, creator of advanced style...this is rose...what an inspiration...she is 98...and seriously...can anyone look more fabulous?

she gives her 10 styling tips...my favorites are:

Take care of your feet and wear good shoes, but when you are going out for a night on the town, "Fashion comes before comfort." At 98, Rose goes out every single night!

every nite? she's got a better social life then i do!! you go girl!

Belts and Beads. Rose believes that a belt or unique strand of beads can really make an outfit, and they don't have to cost a fortune.

i couldn't have said it any better...

Be Unique: "If Everyone is wearing it, then its not for me."

amen rose!

i highly recommend clicking on the huffington post link above to see the full article...her tips are right on...

i hope i'm that put together when (and if) i reach that age...
