“Sacha Baron Cohen’s “Bruno” character gets booted during Milan Fashion Week”

While filming ‘Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America For The Purpose Of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable In The Presence Of A Gay Foreigner In A Mesh T-Shirt‘ during Milan’s Fashion Week, comedian Sacha Baron Cohen stomped the runway of designer Agatha Ruiz de la Prada’s fashion show. No, the powers that be were not amused.   The Bruno character is an over-the-top Austrian fashionista who found his way backstage and then on the catwalk before he was ousted by security. According to The Huffington Post, Cohen did not have ID with him at the time of the scuffle.   Oh, well, bet it’s as funny as a bear in the back of an ice cream truck, and we mean that

Moose of the Moment and Musings from the West

Who said you can’t find chic in the highest mountains? Ok, we know that Jackson Hole is relatively fashion-free. It’s where Patagonia is my Prada and Marmot is my Margiela, and our Western is Marlboro Man iconic. After awhile you really want to go gaga for shoes not for their traction, but for their style appeal… what you wear in Jackson Hole, stays in Jackson Hole! Yeah, the Grand Tetons are amazing, the air is crystal clear but I am jonesing big time for a “real” fashion fix… I may have an escape in Wyoming, but I AM a New Yorker true and true. >> Wanna try some western shopping out west, maybe not so much Moose of the Moment:

Slides, mules, backless shoes, they’re back…

But to some women did slide shoes ever go away? The women's slide shoe makes a fashion comeback! Slides, mules, backless shoes are back on trend -StyleThing! Slides, the women's shoe to literally take a stance on. Admittedly, there are some stale pairs of slides in my closet—some rather over-priced pairs, barely worn, yet intrinsically classic backless beauties that I cannot make it out of the house wearing without thinking, do I look like one of the them? You know the club of women of a certain age who think clanking around in slides is a sign of sex appeal to an otherwise drab wardrobe, usually involving a pink cardigan. There is typically an over-processed hair color and geranium lipstick

Oscar fashion strikes gold…

It's lucky sevens for the 77th Academy Awards Oscar Fashion 2005   Frankly, I miss Cher. I really did like Bjork's wacky bird dress. And all the other Academy Award getups that may not have been politically fashionably correct, but sure did show off the wearer's personality. It gets terribly boring to spot stars decked out as a clone of their stylist's fashion connections with not an iota of their own personal style in play. Instead of seeing who is wearing what dress it too frequently becomes what dress is wearing which star. Worse off, while glamorous they may want to appear, the celebs look darn uncomfortable--- awkward is clearly not chic! Thankfully, this year's Oscar fashion, while heavy on

How to Wear Silver: Coordinating an evening look

Coordinating an evening look… I have a silver evening dress and not sure if I should wear silver shoes, purse and a shawl with it or if I can wear light purple with it. (Toronto, Ontario) The Tin (Wo)Man is not a fashion statement! Absolutely do not drench yourself in one color, particularly a bold or metallic one. The key to chic is having the ability to understand color and texture which enhance and not overwhelm you and avoiding a flat single-note look. If the dress is a jazzy silver, let it be the focal point- add softer accessories that complement the silver without taking away from it. You can go tone on tone as long as texture and finish

How to wear jeans to a party… Advice on dressing up jeans

How to wear jeans to a party… Advice on dressing up jeans I'm invited to my friend's 40th birthday party. The party will be at a million dollar penthouse here in San Diego. Although my friends are California casual, would it be ok to wear "dressed up" jeans? I'm thinking jeans, strappy heels, a cute sleeveless shirt and a jacket? HELP advice is welcome.(San Diego, CA) I couldn't think of anything more modern than a pair of great fitting jeans, some sexy sandals, and a feminine top for a casual party at someone's home or a night out.  Since jeans have an automatic dressed down feel, they are the perfect prop to play up a super feminine or glitzy blouse
