Fashion + Sense Guest Blogger Bronwen Llewellyn We are only about an hour away from the revelation. What will the classically elegant Kate Middleton wear to enter the Royal Family?

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.

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 [...]
Scent of | a Woman
Fashion + Sense with Bronwen Llewellyn Photo courtesy of Hermes.com Once a year or so Hermes debuts a new fragrance, and I inevitably attempt to fall in love with it. This year that fragrance is Voyage. A unisex fragrance, Voyage is the scent of places to come, rather than places we have been. While Un Jardin sur la [...]
Good Things | For Fall
Fashion + Sense with Bronwen Llewellyn The Nordstrom anniversary sale means we are officially halfway through the year, and new fall items are slowly making their way onto the shelves.

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 [...]
Lip | Service
Saturday Evening Post with Bronwen Llewellyn Every day my mailbox (e-mail and otherwise) is bombarded with the latest in beauty products. NARS this, Benefit that, and a thousand items that promise to make you beautiful, fix your flaws, and take your money. Sometimes I can resist, but eventually something gets the best of me and [...]
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 [...]
One | Room
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
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 [...]
Symbiotic | Style

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.

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.
