It’s no surprise when “The Face” was going to premiere that this show would have it’s share of criticism for being the new version of “America’s Next Top Model” but with it’s added twist of having model coaches leading teams of four models.

Gucci Menswear Fall 2013
I have been a fan of Frida Giannini, Creative Director of Gucci since she started her tenure under Tom Ford in 2004 when she designed the men’s and women’s accessories line for the house. After Ford’s departure in 2004 and after the failed success under Alessandra Facchinetti, she was appointed Creative Director of the entire…

Yes, there will be Look for Less features for menswear! My favorite item of clothing for a man is a cardigan.

They are…

Sequins are all the rage. I saw an amazing grey sequined top from Oscar de la Renta that was so exquisite that I thought it needed to be shown on the blog, but than again Mr. de la Renta’s price tag may not fit everyone’s budget so I have found two additional options from Alice…
2013 SAG Awards Worst Dressed: Rose Byrne
My biggest disappointment from the 2013 SAG Awards was actress and star of TV’s “Damages” and the movie “Bridesmaids,” Rose Byrne. The Aussie actress is usually on my best dressed list (i.e. 2012 SAG Awards in a white Elie Saab Haute Couture jumpsuit) but she looked like a floral mess in Valentino. I have to…
