Home | Layers

Fashion + Sense,  with guest blogger Bronwen Llewellyn As the end of the first month of 2011 draws near, I am working to keep my (not-so-labeled) resolution to divest myself and my house of half the “stuff.”  I will probably never be a successful minimalist, but if I try I might become less of a [...]

Christmas | List

By Guest Blogger, author of Fashion + Sense, Bronwen Llewellyn This year the Emirates Plaza Hotel in Abu Dhabi takes the price for most extravagant Christmas tree, not necessarily for size (a meager 43 feet), but for the $11 million dollars in “decorations” consisting of precious metals and jewels that adorn the tree.  Meanwhile, I [...]

Urban | Utility

Fashion + Sense with Bronwen Llewellyn Today’s blog post is brought to you by the letter “m.”  M is for messenger, a fabulous unisex utility bag that can be a purse, a satchel, a shopping tote, or a briefcase.  Since the messenger tends to lean toward the masculine persuasion, it is often difficult to find [...]

Mad | World

Fashion + Sense with Bronwen Llewellyn I was asked to write this weekend on something inspired by the fashion in preview clips from A Single Man.  Check out this video link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aypyJtHzC70 courtesy of YouTube. Colin Firth in retro glasses (a la Oliver Peoples) as an older professor is hugely alluring, even if the film is [...]

Blue | Period

Fashion + Sense with Bronwen Llewellyn The internet has begun to blossom with hints of fall, and for me it cannot come too soon.  I love everything about the fall…crisp air, changing leaves, and cooler weather.  And until it arrives, I have to settle for cooling colors and bits of fall fashion.  First on today’s [...]

Style Challenge With Bronwen Llewellyn Ladies and gentlemen, I am supplementing my usual “Saturday Evening Post” on fashion with a little design bonus.  While perusing the web, I happened upon From The Right Bank and her “What’s Your Style in One Picture Challenge.”  Could I do it?  Definite my style in a single photograph?  Well, it [...]

Summer | Bling

Summer | Bling

Fashion + Sense with Bronwen Llewellyn After the week I had, it seems like a little “pick me up” is in order, and what better way to spice up the summer than to add a little touch of bling to your wardrobe. I’m not going to advocate for any gold sarongs and, as a woman [...]

Faux | Pas

Faux |  Pas

Fashion + Sense with Bronwen Llewellyn Yesterday I ventured to the theater with my husband to watch the long awaited Sex and the City 2.  Since movie reviews are as plentiful, I will leave that to those better equipped to pass judgment on such things.  What I wanted was a dose of fashion and fun, [...]

Stylish | Storage

Fashion + Sense with Bronwen Llewellyn Have you ever toured a model home and left wishing your house felt that clean? Or tried to stage a home for sale?  These two things have one common feature: they are homes made “homey” without the burden of actually living in one. A home stager or real estate [...]

Little | Luxuries

Fashion + Sense with Bronwen Llewellyn Today I saw what I can only call a woman wearing a cross-body bag made to look like an electric guitar.  And not a cool guitar inspired bag like the one Hogan came out with several years back…I mean a photograph of an electric guitar superimposed on cheap black [...]

Little Wallet | Big Trouble

Saturday Evening Fashion + Sense… With Bronwen Llewellyn Remember when I brought up the whole “buy quality, cry once” theory?  Of course you do, it was only three weeks ago.  The flaw in this plan is that there are so many quality items available for purchase!  A few months ago I saw a picture of a [...]

Saturday’s Fashionista Guest Blogger -Bronwen Llewellyn Like many women, I have had an ongoing obsession with finding *the* right pair of shoes for as long as I can remember. This stems both from a love of fashion and an ankle broken in four places my junior year of high school. The upshot: No $500+ Manolo [...]
