Hey y’all, how are you doing? Know it’s been a while. What the f*ck hell been going on you say? Everything. I’ve been keeping it low key this summer. A few trips to the beach with my boo, dog park with my Vivi and throwing down in the kitchen. Still running from a domestic violence offender I saw a a few times in 2011. Chile. There’s a lot of R. Kelly’s out there, the police turn often turn a blind eye and expect women and children to fend for themselves until there’s some kind of public outcry.

Drop Dead Gorgeous Looks on the Area Spring/Summer 2026 Runway
Good morning! So, happy Fashion Month. I’ve been trying to catch up and still quite busy handling the hack. Anyway, I’ve become quite a fan of Area through recent years and they did not disappoint for this past Spring/Summer 2026 New York Fashion Week show.
They have street style, elegance with a touch of opulence. I have a Good American denim dress that looks very much like the Area dress below but the dress is jazzed up with a train, fraying of fabric and a one-shoulder design. And, the above feathered white top is just stunning.
Have you been watching the shows?

The Prettiest Simone Rocha Midi Dress
Hey there! What have you been wearing this fall? It’s not quite cold enough for a heavy coat but also not quite bikini weather if you’re up north. I came across this really cute Simone Rocha dress that marries delicate femininity and utility warmth. See-through was trending on the Spring/Summer runway and the trend doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. The delicate sequin embellishments, see-through fabric and faux fur panels make this dress turn heads. Do you have any see-through pieces?

Perfect for a Garden Party: Max Mara Dress
Hey there folks! How are you doing? I recently went to Palm Beach and grabbed a beautiful Max Mara dress from their shopping district. It is perfect for that garden party or brunch with the girls. There are sewn-in silver and sparkly brooches to make the perfect accent. And, there are pockets! I just love the dress and will definitely be wearing it as it is somewhat a classic piece. What dress have you been wearing in these last summer days?

Dr. Jill Biden’s Sequined Democratic National Convention Dress
So, regardless of your politics, there are some very interesting and some great, historic moments from the Democratic National Convention and even the Republican Convention. I just had to ask, did you see Dr. Jill Biden’s sequined periwinkle dress last night at the Democratic National Convention? I thought it was the perfect serve of fashion, style and politics for the first night of the convention. Supposedly it was made for the first lady by Ralph Lauren. What did you think of it and are you registered to vote? If you’re not registered, make sure you sign up (click here).

Good morning from sunny South Florida! Art Week Miami is upon us and there are all kinds of events, parties and celebrations going on. I stumbled upon a cute, artsy dress from a brand out of Australia called SIR. that is perfect to wear to a dinner or Art Basel event this week. There is also a top and skirt with the same print available as well.
As I say, fashion is art in real life. Are you going to be in Miami this week?

Hailee Steinfeld in Viktor & Wolf’s “No Photos Please” Dress at The Met Gala

I remember seeing this “No Photos Please” dress by Viktor and Wolf on the Spring Couture 2019 runway. The dresses made a fashion statement even without the literal statements on the dresses. What a way to do tulle! I just loved the look and the camera she carried was a great note to add to the look.
What was your favorite dress of the evening?
