FRIDAY FANCIES

Lets get right down to business today on what I have recently fancied.

Of course I will lead off with a Chanel inspired jacket from one of my favorite stores...Anthropologie.  I always remind myself how fortunate I am that I am not 25 and a size 6 because then I would be in the poor house, overdressing every single day...(well that is pretty much my life now...the overdressing part) due to my Anthro addiction.  This can definitely be dressed up or dressed down and is absolutely a foundation piece of one's wardrobe:

If you have not read these books, please do so immediately.  Enchanting, charming and thought provoking...wow that is quite the recommendation, isn't it?  I don't think you will be disappointed:

Did you see any of the Oscar nominated films?  I saw a few and one of my favorites was Lady Bird:

Below is a trailer to whet your appetite.  A friend and I were discussing why this was such a popular film.  He commented that there is something in it that everyone can relate to.  Such a smart and true observation.  Its from Lionsgate ...need I say more to persuade you that its worth your time?

In closing a few thoughts to take you into the beginning of this week:

If you have read my blog in the past, you know Bill Cunningham has a special place in my heart:

FANCY NANCY IS....BACK..............

Hello all- I have missed you and have also missed blogging.  This week is the start of a new season,  New York Fashion Week has happened  and now we need to seriously discuss the foundation pieces of our spring wardrobe.  According to top stylists (Hello Brad G. and Rachel Z.  who as I understand it.... will not be sharing any conversations in the foreseeable future ...hmmmm) the following trends will be some to keep your stylish eyes on:

1.  Color- Bright crayola  or soothing sorbet...there is no in between.

2.  Draping-whether its a cowl neck,  a softly knotted or tucked hem of a garment; soft draping flatters most body types.

3.  Lace- is everywhere; shoes, bags, dresses.

Some fashion trends I hope to see forever disappear  include cold shoulders, ruffled sleeves and of course our yearly prayer that capris are never to be made/sold or resold ever again.  

In closing, could it really be a post from me without a few fashion quotes????

I think not.
