It can be difficult to dress during a seasonal transition, not knowing exactly what weather is in store especially as we change from summer into autumn.  Here in Texas the weather can swing dramatically during the course of one day.  The primary rules to remember are double-duty and layers.

Karl Lagerfield once said, “I think tattoos are horrible. It’s like living in a Pucci dress full-time.” While one can’t deny the word of Karl Lagerfield as the be all and end all in fashion, it would seem that in this instance, there may be a few voices of protest. Iman, Heidi Klum, and Cara […]
