"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening." ~~ Coco Chanel

Michael Kors ~ Daytime & Nightime Looks

I LOVE FASHION!!! But then again, what women in their right mind doesn't. One of my all time favorite Fashion Houses is Michael Kors. 

I think he has impeccable taste and can make any piece of fabric into something magical and beautiful! Not to mention he is a super witty and completely honest judge on the early seasons of Project Runway. 

Today I have created two looks for you, one for Daytime and another for Nighttime. I hope you enjoy!!!

The 1980’s was a crazy decade. For starters, the election of Ronald Regan brought us a new group of voters called “ReganDemocrats”. They voted for Regan and were crucial for actually getting him elected.

Little know fact about our dear President Regan, he was formerly a Hollywood actor. His most notable role was as George Gipp in his 1940 film about the former Notre Dame Football player.

But we also saw what President Lyndon B Johnson referred to as “The Great Society”, The assassination of President John F Kennedy, The Vietnam War, and the fight for Civil Rights.

The Violet Vixen ~~ Embrace your Wild Side

Every woman had their wild side, anyone who says they don't, well, is probably in denial and has it pushed deep down somewhere. But, occasionally you will watch something or find something on the Internet that triggers a reaction and out it comes......

Welcome to mine, I was recently introduced to a website called The Violet Vixen by my best friend Gail. This is the collage I created through Polyvore, I hope you enjoy it.

Aeropostale Fashion

I have to admit, I have a secret love for the clothes at Aeropostale. I think that are amazing and if I could fit in them I would go broke shopping there.

With that being said I would love to share with my fantastic readers some of the outfits that I would choose if I had the opportunity. First up would be one of my casual "cooler weather" picks........

The post WWII era brought several changes. We saw everything from the creation of suburban homes to the crusade against communism.  The 1950’s is also famous for the gross misuse of the word “boom”, there was the booming economy , the booming suburban housing, and of course the well known “baby-boom”.

Ah, the 1940’s! With World War II  in full swing, what was fashions biggest influence? Well, one very crazy theory says that is was Adolph Hitler who “dictated” the fashion of the era. I know, absolutely preposterous!

My idea, fashion, especially for women, was styled to better suit the working aspect of life in those days. During the war it was not uncommon to find women serving  in all branches of the military and therefore needing to “design” clothing that matched that lifestyle.

Let’s begin with some super fun tidbits of the era before jumping head first into the fantastic fashion of the 30’s. In the beginning of the 1930’s we found ourselves with Herbert Hoover as President followed by Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1932. We were introduced to swing dancing and the Great Depression was in its worst years.

The Roaring 20’s was the aptly named era. It introduced to the amazing Ford Model T, Babe Ruth, sinfully sneaky speakeasies and of course the invention of The Charleston.
