Survey, measure and calculate each area for the circumferential impact that you will make upon entering the room. Black multiplied by shapes and textures equals a varied landscape even when the palette is discrete. Youth intersects sophistication with curves in the attire while hexagonal planes firmly plant abstracted Austenian beauty into 2007 aesthetics. […]
Saturday night. There’s a cool little bistro in town. Reservations not needed. Menu consists of seasonal game and vegetables, plus freshly made desserts like vanilla ice cream laced with lavender buds. It’s casual with an haute edge. Apropos of this occasion would be a day dress re-wired with shiny metal. […]
Accentuate the geometric shapes and lines of the dress with a jazzy, graphic Art Deco graphic clutch. Punctuate the dress’ angles by making an obvious contrast with the swirled diagonals of dandy-ish pump accented by a single crystal brooch. Other than a distinctive shoe and purse, I can’t imagine wearing any other kind type of […]
Yeah….I don’t think this one will make it into a holiday party, unless it is thrown by Tim Burton. Oddly, I find that this outfit catches my attention. Is that a good thing? It’s definitely sexy. Or is it cartoon-ish? Like Tim Burton? Which, would make it cool, right? The […]
Maybe it can be the “go to” little outfit for a gallery show opening or a holiday party? All tinseled in silver and gold. Sophisticated yet still playful due to the babydoll contour of the jumper and sweet bow on the subtle but alluring T-strap. Like a good girl who is cognizant about […]
Bows and lace. Mary janes and tights. These combinations are so overtly girlish that they can give you cavities. Better temper that sweet tooth with a graphic blouse and a big glitzy handbag. Also, add a cosmopolitan martini (while situated at the Rivington Hotel in NYC), and I bet no […]
I call forth images from my youth for inspiration. My impressionable fashion years took place in the late 60’s and early 70’s. I remember the fabulous stick straight hair, pink lipstick, caterpillar plush eyelashes, chunked heels and low hip-huggers worn by mother’s friends. On the telly, I remember reruns with women in […]
The key to being a bohemian is that you rub out any evidence of provenance of an article of clothing. It lends an air of mystery, and this is the allure. People will wonder, “Wow, she’s got cool taste, it’s so unique and eclectic…” All of her stuff looks one-of-a-kind. Some batik or […]

Put away the A4 folders and the pda and phone of your choice, slide open your drawer to scoop up the granite sized ring, pull out the arabesque detailed heels from your bottom file drawer. The versatile Jimmy Choo clutch is the perfect statement of subtle elegance to clip under your arm or suspend […]
She’s chic. She’s hot. Hell, she’s a vamp. She’ll make sure that the party won’t be devoid of some glamour. A little over the top for any other day, but hey, it’s Halloween. Splurge and test your fashion boundaries.

Cynthia Rowley advocates opposites. Her day clothes look fit for cocktails. Her evening clothes with their flirtatious lines signify anything but somber. This play of counter and counter-point is the base of her “cool chick” appeal, universally irresistible when encountered on her website, on the telly (episode 4 of Tim Gunn’s show […]
