I was never a die hard fan of Sex and the City. Initially, I was so infatuated with the show that I had to rent the discs from Netflix.   My boyfriend at the time would run away from home whenever I was watching SATC.  In retrospect, I’m not sure I blame him.  The show is [...]

Kippy Kennedy was just the sort of girl I never thought I’d know. I certainly never expected her to become my best friend. She had so many things going for her and none of those qualities were any that I possessed.
Here’s a list. This is all I can think of right now:

Cheerleader–Head Cheerleader, I should [...]

Maybe this story should start at the end because that’s usually where any new thing is given the chance to begin. It’s been five years since I slipped into this dress anxiously pulling up the long zipper. That time, it fit. After the break-up, the pounds just fell off magically. It shouldn’t have been a [...]

It’s not that often that I get to see the vintage that we offer at Lucitebox.com in action. When this dress came in, I knew it was a winner!

I’m sure you’ll agree, that it looks better on Brigitte than it does on my mannequin, Sabrina.

This dress is made of cherry red faille that’s stunning in [...]

When Luann arrived at the luncheon, everyone noticed her dress. Her neighbor, Lenore Constance said that she loved her big portrait style collar. “It’s just the bee’s knees!”, she said. Lenore Constance went on to say that Luann was, “just as cute as a button!” She smiled a big smile at Luann and warmly added, [...]

Depending on who you ask, her name is either Kay, Kathleen, or Brenda. Before she moved out here, she wore her hair in a tidy, blonde bob.  You wouldn’t even recognize her now in that jet black, Priscilla Presley style cascading beehive.
It wasn’t easy to leave California, but she had no choice. When the speculations [...]

Based on these two photos, I’m willing to reconsider the color brown.  I sometimes forget how fantastic brown can be.  One great thing about brown is that (unlike black) it usually comfortably works with other browns. Blacks can look “off” when they fade differently from each other. I hate it when, after repeated washings, I [...]

When you’re choosing a dress to wear to a major art exhibit, it should be this one. I wore this dress to one of those art shows. It seemed right for walking around and looking at work by upcoming, contemporary artists. I knew there’d be a lot of people there who’d be dressed creatively and [...]

This is why people like me who were once 19 should not use facebook. Oy vey. The ’80s–make ‘em stop.
Note: that is not my handbag in the foreground. I carried a clutch.
Other note: I sold that dress quite awhile ago. What you’re not seeing is that it’s irridescent, changeable purple/blue taffeta with that lace over [...]
