Retro Wednesday- Goodbye Ski Season

Goodbye to the ski season. Hello to the flowers. Goodbye to winter. Hello to spring. Goodbye to the sweaters. Hello to the flirty skirts. Goodbye to the cold. Hello to the warmth.

Chuck Bass

So while we are on the topic of Gossip Girl let's talk about leading man Chuck Bass.  He is a strong character who has a very privileged upbringing. He certainly dresses the role of a regular on page six. There are quite a few looks from Chuck Bass I could see running the runway of a Hilfiger show.  I am sure that many of Tommy Hilfiger pieces were used in his wardrobe.

Gossip Girl

Gossip Girl is a hit drama on the CW. This program is responsible for prep school style gaining back more popularity in recent years. Just as upper 20 and 30 something women look to Sex and the City, girls in their teens and 20s are looking to this show for fashion tips. The stylist of Gossip Girl give preppy a new twist. Never thought I would be saying bohemian and preppy in the same sentence but it might be the only way to describe the character of Serena van der Woodsen's style. While we still have the classic preppy look with characters like Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass. The show is a great place to look to update your preppy style.

The Womens Plad Blazer

Retro Wednesday- The Slopes

It's amazing how technology changes every aspect of our world. When it comes to athletic apparel it is always evolving. Cool-wick fabrics that bring our sweat away form our skin, down coats and jackets that keep us warm in 30 below temperatures are just some of the many advances. So there is no need for the ski wear of old. But these old athletic styles don't just disappear. There is no use in the athletic field so the styles slide their way into our everyday lives.  The ski sweaters of the 70's are now worn to work in the winter with a classy blazer over.  The knit hats that use to keep us warm on the slopes are now worn on our daily commutes to work.
