Milan Fashion Week Spring Summer 2011

Who: Emporio Armani
What it made us think of: Too many different things, but they were all fancy-ish, which seemed to be the theme.
What we liked: Sheer underskirts, shoes, jackets, classic purses, lux drawstring pants (they somehow work), necklaces, sheer floating ruffles
What we didn't: peek-a-boobs, bare midriffs, a lot of repetition so 79 looks probably weren't necessary, disjointed
Who: Giorgio Armani
What it made us think of: A mysterious traveling woman with dark, glamorous secrets
What we liked: darks for spring, necklaces, pants, ruffles, sheer, military, the lattice shoes
What we didn't: the really pointy shoes, the evening dresses--they didn't feel all that special

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year.

Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Undergarments are woefully ignored when discussing professional attire. You may be wearing the perfect wool suit with an expensive silk blouse, but that collected demeanor can be absolutely ruined by the wrong bra. The biggest offender for improper bra deployment is loose bra straps. Fiddling with your bra straps not only draws attention to your bra, but it also makes you look fidgety and uncomfortable, both no-nos at work. Sometimes this is a problem because your bra is so old the elastic has given up on you. Upgrade to Lily of France's Extreme Lightly Lined Underwire รด . It's super comfy and has a j-hook that will convert your straps to a slip-proof racerback style. My personal bra peeve is lace under jersey. Wearing anything with texture under a knit adds texture to the knit. Then I and others are compelled to look at your chest and ponder, "Does she know I can see all the flowers? Should I say something? No, she must know." Don't make me or anyone else you
