Everyone Needs A Little Tim Gunn In Their Life!

Tim Gunn will be in the Washington DC area at the Hirshhorn Museum speaking on Ann Truitt's art collection: Perception and Reflection. Now as a person that absolutely hearts fashion I have to admitt that I was quite shocked that I let this one slip by me. Tim Gunn as well as Isaac Mizrahi are both indeed now the creative officers of Liz Claiborne.

 Finding my first piece at Marshalls this summer, a orange and pink cross body, detachable strap, cross weaved hand bag! I have been able to wear this bag both during the day and as a going out bag at night

Isn't it beautiful!.......................

At first I would not step dead in a Liz Claiborne store. Her pieces reminded me too much of something that either my grandmother would wear or my older sister ( which has a matching shawl to go with every outfit and a pair of pearls).  I feel like a kid in a candy store lol! Because I knew that there was something extremely different about her pieces and her magazine ads i just did not know what it was. They were trendy, colorful, ubeat, playful and her clothes appealed to people of all ages. Thanks Tim and Issac you both have really done a good job! I am most definitely sold! Please see a couple of the new Liz Claiborne ads
