Strike a Pose

Vogue Magazine, the leader in the  fashion industry has had some of the most memorable and beautiful covers that capture the  true essence of style and sophistication for women. I came across these beachy cover shots from years gone by to present day. These are  some of my favorites. Aren't they awesome?

High Fashion In The Lowcountry

I love the bold and vivid colors of these beach fashions that are featured in Charleston Style and Design  Some of the fashions definitely remind me of yesteryear glam with a modern feel.  These gorgeous photographs were taken on Dewees Island in Charleston, SC.

                                                        I love these pants... very 70's

It's A Mad Mad World

 I hadn't watched NOT ONE episode of Mad Men until December of 2011. Which is really kind of odd because my father was in the Advertising biz and owned an Ad agency on Madison Ave and surrounded by it most of my life. But after one of my son's  singing it's praises, I felt like I was really missing out. Boy was I! I got caught up in a matter of weeks and I am hooked! My  dad has passed away and was never able to see the show,so I always wonder when I watch, what he would have thought .
 It has been a long 18 months for  the fans of the  TV Series Mad Men, but the wait is finally over.Season 5  premiers tonight on AMC. The season 4 finale left off with us all wondering why did Don Draper, propose to his receptionist Megan and dump Faye?? Sterling Cooper Draper and Price are in dire financial straights and are trying to avoid bankruptcy  due to the loss the Lucky Strike Cigarette account, { thanks to Roger } but he has an ulterior motive. Joan's marriage is a shambles,and is pregnant with Roger Sterling's baby and  the Ex  Mrs. Draper, Betty is still  unhappy in her new marriage and is still one miserable bitch, I mean lady.

As the show continues to move further into the 60's, the wardrobe and set change and evolve as  well. Bold color and pattern were all the rage in the 60's. As we know, everything old is new again, and  We see this design trend  today with the return of bright bold colors and patterns .

At Home With Jules Reid

 While flipping through Matchbook Magazine today, a pretty blonde woman caught my eye.She was sitting in a chair surrounded by beautiful colors and coastal accents..Her name, Jules Reid, a new York City power broker, turned, interior designer turned fashion designer. In 2010 this mother of three started a fashion line that bares her name. I'll admit it, I had never heard of her until today! Maybe I am a little slow out of the gate. How could I have missed her?? Her look.. A modern boho beach chic, meets preppy, classic and elegant. Her bold colors and playful patterns are fab! I think  Her home reflects her fashion or visa versa.  Below are some images of her very colorful home.

                                         What do you think caught my eye here?

                                                     Painted floors with  aqua and green!

                                          Loving all the framed purple sea urchins.

                                           Here are a couple of her tops I love.

                                                          The tunic top is adorable

                                                                    As is this top.

Wu Hoo ! Janson Wu!

 Up until recently, the fabulous fashion designer Jason Wu's line to be released on February 5th  for Target , has been  kept pretty hush hush. Several pieces have been shown as a preview,and I like what I am seeing! This line is sure to be a hit There is a definite nautical flare to many of the pieces, with Nautical stripes and plenty of Red and Blue. The line has somewhat of a modern day vintage look  while looking Demure, feminine and preppy.  Who else is excited about it decides me?
