You and I are going to keep a little secret so get closer and let me spill.  This Lanvin is lingerie from Neiman Marcus but if you didn’t know it immediately would you care?  No because this is so sexy & silk and with the ruffled neckline it just looks like a gorgeous dress Alber Elbaz would have designed only he would have been a very young little boy since this piece is from the late 70′s and he was born in 1961.  I found this mint condition Ferragamo leather white belt that looks AMAZING…..  You remember when Lauren Hutton wore silk pajamas with an Armani jacket sometime in the 80′s to the Oscars?  No one would have ever known they were pajamas if she didn’t tell the world… same with this piece.  It’s gorgeous and I don’t believe a woman should just wear this piece in the comfort of her bedroom do you?  Hell no, that’s what I thought.  I love having little secrets….  Friend me on Facebook & follow me on Twitter.  Be STYLISH go green.  Daniel your luxury curator!

Who doesn’t love a fire engine red linen dress especially when it’s made by Max Mara?  I know I can’t think of a soul either.  I’m sure NASA spotted this fire engine red linen Max Mara dress from outer space.  It didn’t take me over a minute to see this one.  It’s beautiful with just the right amount of glam but that’s what you would expect from a 60 year old Italian  company like Max Mara.  I love this brand because they really do minimal & streamline to perfection.  So I grabbed this dress and before I could inhale my next breathe I spotted this leopard print silk Nicole Miller dress.  Animal prints are always in STYLE and timeless just like the paisley, houndstooth and herringbone patterns and yes a little goes a long ways but I found the sheerness of the arm sleeves to be so sexy and chic.  Nicole Miller is sold at Neiman Marcus, Saks, Bloomingdales & Nordstrom so she’s a heavyweight champ.   I’m quite pleased with these 2 very different dresses and I’m sure my clients will embrace them as much as I did.  Please friend me on Facebook & follow me on Twitter.  Be STYLISH go green.  Daniel your luxury curator!

I’m a big big fan of caftans especially caftans that are as colorful and vibrant as this vintage 60′s Cole of California is… I’m always out and about hunting for super cool print just in general but to see this super chic print on a caftan well it just shook me to my core.  In 1925, Fred Cole, a silent film actor, created a swimsuit line that set the bar for all others to follow. His suits were gorgeous yet modest, comfortable yet classy, and made any woman, regardless of her size, feel great in a swimsuit. Fred Cole’s designs lay claim to many of the “firsts” in swimwear, including the backless and strapless swimsuits, the short overskirt, the boy short, the first true tank suit, and the cover-up skirt. His suits gained such acclaim that super stars like Marilyn Monroe, Rene Russo and Farah Fawcett were photographed in them. Swimming beauty Esther Williams became the official face of the Cole of California advertising campaign. Christian Dior, the world’s most celebrated designer, even paired up with Fred Cole to create his one and only swimwear line.  I’m just dying to know about the owner of this caftan and its history because I have a strong feeling there is history right on the surface.  Friend me on Facebook & follow me on Twitter too.  Be STYLISH go ‘green’.  Daniel your luxury curator!

If only you could crawl inside the internet so that you could feel the fabric of this cream Eskandar top, I think you probably wouldn’t want to go back…  It reminds me of my grandmother’s dish cloth, it’s that soft soft cotton and all you want to do is feel it.  Everyone needs to own tops made from this type of cotton because it’s all about comfort.  Established in 1993 by Eskandar Nabavi, the Eskandar womenswear label has grown in success at an unprecedented rate.  The signature fluid lines and traditional, voluminous silhouettes, are brought to life with exclusive and luxurious fabrics, for which Eskandar has become renowned world wide.  Lightening struck twice because not only did I score this Eskandar top but these Michael Kors made in Italy slacks.  Everything I see Michael Kors  always pray to the GODS above that it says ‘made in Italy’ because that’s what you want to get.  The construction, tailoring & fabric is so R$CH and luxurious and who doesn’t need or want that?  I love this simple chic look of the Eskandar top with these R$CH Kors made in Italy slacks, this ensemble just screams “less is more and less is best”….
