It's that Holiday season once again- I can smell it in the air! Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza, and Happy New Year! May this season bring happiness and cheer. And of course... great food and family! (Not in a particular order)

If you are interested in fashion history...

Recently, a contributer to Vogue.com, Amanda Brooks, wrote a very informational article titled "The Rise of the Knee High." I think that the title is self-exclamatory!

Pre-Fall Favorites from Oscar De la Renta- NEW YORK, December 7, 2009
As I scrupulously scrolled through the Pre-Fall 2010 designer catalogue, I suddenly came upon a line that caught my attention in such a big way, that I found myself repeatedly stating Rachel Zoe’s trademark word “I die.” My jaw literally dropped the moment that I saw the new Oscar De La Renta Pre-Fall line 2010, which prompted me to write the world a letter stating the reasons why this line has created a sunny spot in all of this rain. First of all, I am a big advocate (believe it or not) for color use. While I do love dark colors (Most of my closet only contains black garments) I particularly “get a kick out of” Olvera Street- inspired clothing. Not to mention, Oscar De la Renta has perfectly captured an essence of the perfect holiday outfit for the “fun” dresser- filled with bright designs and a fair amount of shine. The bright jewelry helps to create a full look in these outfits. And, as I look closer to inspect these pieces, I realize that they are quite simple, but the pops of color really make them memorable. And, in my quest to find the most “flight-attendant style clothing” (Yes, my style is sometimes referred to as flight attendant-looking) I am perfectly satisfied with both the red and black tweed Chanel-looking dresses. So, with this one show, Oscar De la Renta has persuaded me to full forcedly fall in love with this line. I might even like the hair!
