I have always loved tights.  I am eternally a girly girl who wears a lot of dresses and skirts and our rainy Seattle days still do not stop me from wearing them.  My one solution is to wear tights with everything and this year I am in love with patterned and colored tights.  They are such an easy way to make an outfit go from good to FABULOUS!

I have been in love with these Chanel tights from a few seasons …

I am not sure whether fascinators are purely an English thing but they are often worn to weddings by guests in lieu of a more traditional hat. In addition to our own wedding we attended 3 others this summer, with another to come in December and 3 more so far next year. Apart from the usual issues relating to rotating dresses and accessories so one doesn’t appear to have one ‘wedding outfit’ for all occasions, it is also useful to …

I usually have some obsession for the week that turns on my creative juices and leads to great words of fashion wisdom.  But, this week….I’ve got nothin’.  The only thing that this week has taught me is that sometimes oldies really are the goodies.  Maybe this was the God of Fashion’s week to reconfirm a few truths in my life.    Honestly, here are my “random fashion truths for the week”

1.)  Preparation H is a great eye de-puffer and it’s okay to …

Originally I had planned to take a shopping hiatus (at least on clothing) until the holidays. However, getting dressed for church on Sunday, I realized I don’t have a lot for a Nevada winter or fashionable, yet comfortable clothes for working from home. I’m thrilled to go shopping! I really want some versatile, colorful and layerable clothes. My mom, my favorite shopping partner, is visiting this week and I thought I’d make a short shopping list to make sure I …

Darling readers, so sorry for my prolonged absence from EAD Living recently. Things have been mighty busy Chez Rachel & Husband but I hope things are settling down now. Some of the things I have been busy with include but are not limited to:

* London Fashion Week. Miele (or, the washing machine people, as like to refer to them) invited me, along with a few other bloggers, to attend the Jasper Garvida show and these are some of the photographs …

Melissa, aka the Lil Bee, and author of the Feather Report has just announced a new app for your iPhone!  Since she does a much better job explaining it than I ever could, I’ll let her do the honors:

Dearest friends, bloggers, and colleagues,

I have a little announcement to make…actually, a big announcement (I hope)!  Some of you have been following my blog, featherreport.blogspot.com.  It’s a site that offers daily style inspiration for NYC girls, based on the weather forecast.  Fashion + …

Anyone remember the SNL years ago where they had Helen Hunt and Snoop Dogg on as guests?  The trailer promoting that show was the two of them standing on the stage and they each took turns saying their names “Helen Hunt.”  ”Snoop Dogg.”  Then all it said after that was “Together again.”  I loved it!  I mean, could there be two more random, opposite people to have together?

Who knew that SNL would display so well Fall fashion.  Rocker Chic is huge again this Fall …

Ugh!  Why do I try to fight it?!  The fashion trends that I protest the most are almost always the ones I become deeply commited to,  and  this Fall’s big trend is shaping  up to be no different.

Juicy Couture opened a new store here in Birmingham last week.   I stopped in just to “browse”  and I was doing great until I picked up their Fall 2009 cataloge.   The  looks were great… comfy and fashion forward.  What scared me though was that the looks I …

Here we are in Week #3 of my series on Etsy Finds for all of life’s spheres!  Last week we explored Etsy’s options for our fall closets, and this week its time to accessorize!

Galit Barak

While offering all types of jewelry, I pick Galit Barak for her 14k gold crocheted cocktail rings – bold enough to be worn as a statement piece but dainty enough for all occasions!
