Size matters: Finding the right bra

Posted by Ketura

I’ve had a busy couple weeks seeing clients, and three of them were wearing the wrong size bra. When I pointed it out to her, one  of the clients made an appointment with me immediately to go to a specialty store to track down the right size. The result: In her new bras, she was thrilled to see that ...READ MORE »

Elana Kagan confirmation hearings: What she wore

Posted by Ketura

It’s possible that no one else will comment on what Supreme Court nominee Elana Kagan wears to these big eventful days in her life. But you can count on me, friends. I am eminently NOT qualified to speak to her judicial qualifications for a seat on the bench. I just assume that she is in the ballpark or she wouldn’t have ...READ MORE »

Perfect jacket for summer, then fall

Posted by Ketura

I went with a client to Anthropologie this morning and although we didn’t get a ton of stuff, I think we were both happy with what she got. One piece she didn’t get but that we both have on a list for her is this fantastic jacket. At $188, it would be a superb purchase for the ...READ MORE »

Eclipse premiere: Who dressed best?

Posted by Ketura

Here are pictures from last night’s Eclipse premiere (and here too) but I confess, I don’t really like any of the dresses very much. This is one exception, and there a few others, but for the most part, the look was young, but not young-cute, more like young-silly-and-over-the-top. Too much fabric, too many details, too big, too ...READ MORE »

Perfect summer top

Posted by Ketura

Here’s another must-have piece — and this is something you could easily wear into Fall! Love! It comes in other colors, too, at Anthropologie. Update: A client tried this on the other day, and you know RIGHT where a woman’s belly pooches a little after she’s had a kid — no matter how many crunches a day she does? Well, ...READ MORE »

Fall 2010 trends: Red velvet

Posted by Ketura

I love velvet. Here’s how much I love it. When I was pregnant with my first child, the labor class teacher recommended bringing talisman-like things into the labor and delivery room with me. At a bazillion months pregnant and in the heat of Washington, DC, summer, I shlepped to a fabric store in the suburbs to buy a couple small swatches ...READ MORE »

Shortcut to great summer style

Posted by Ketura

Call me crazy, but sometimes I wish I had just a half-dozen — oh, okay, make that a dozen — pieces of clothing in my closet. In this fantasy, each piece would be a true standout. Not necessarily something expensive, just  something I absolutely adore. It would look great on me — suit my lifestyle, body and ...READ MORE »
