Georgiana Chapman along with partner Keren Craig launched the Marchesa fashion brand in 2004.

Marchesa markets to a high end womenswear clientele and has been worn by a number of famous customers such as Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Halle Berry, Olivia Wilde and Sandra Bullock. The brand is sold in upper bracket department stores including Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue and online Net-A-Porter.

The rise to acclaim was not so difficult for Georgina as she was born to a multi-million dollar earning father and later married the famous Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. Not to say she is not a very talented designer and an absolutely jaw-dropping beauty, but it helps to have money and influence in your pocket to help you along.

She was born and raised in Richmond, England and attended the Chelsea School of Art and Design. Not long after graduation here rise to fame commenced. Her first collection with Craig brought rave reviews and the Marchesa brand became well known among red carpet posers and award winning actresses. Today Marchesa is considered for such special occasions along with the long time dressing idols like Valentino, Versace, and Chanel. That’s quite an accomplishment for a brand only 9 years of age.

Marchesa collections range from bridal, party dress, to statement Day-Glo. Like so many other designers before her she has realized the importance (and profit) in gaining the average Jo as a customer as well. Georgina has made the business savvy move of establishing a line of dresses that will be sold in the middle market via JCPenney. Pearl by Georgina Chapman of Marchesa will be exclusively sold at JCPenney. The line features affordable special-occasion dresses ranging from $70.00 to $100.00. The name “Pearl” comes from her daughters middle name (India Pearl Weinstein). The collection will be distributed as a 15 piece monthly installment of varying looks.

Hot August

A gaseous cloud of heat hovers over the pavement. The leaves of the trees are wilted and tired by each days end. Grass nettles are tipped with a scorched brown tint and the children have parked their bicycles for favor of the air conditioned comfort of video games. It’s August and it is HOT. What can one wear to afford some sort of cool comfort?

Say goodbye to the little black dress in favor of the little white dress. As we all know, white reflects and black absorbs.

Show your toes some sun and air by treading with open toe sling backs.

Protect your eyes with proper sunglasses that have UV protection in the lenses.

Umbrellas are not just for the rain. If out between 11am – 3pm shield yourself from the high glare of the sun with a light colored sunbrella.

For your skin; the repetitive chirps of wearing sunscreen is music to your dreams of ‘aging well’.

Beat the heat with these suggestions:

Drink lots of water, refresh yourself with Evian facial mist and cool your insides by eating succulent fruits.

Be Cool. Be Healthy. Be Happy.

Downton Abbey Fashion

Do tell me that you’ve been clever enough to watch an episode from this clever drama which is set in Britain back in the early 1900′s. “It’s 1912, and life in the Edwardian country house of Downton Abbey is idyllic and bustling for the Crawley family, aided by their cadre of servants….” PBS. This Masterpiece Classic on PBS is a television touchdown and the fashion could not be any more fabulous! Bravo. Bravo. Bravo.

I must admit that it was my dentist who persuaded me and I owe him less complaining next visit. This drama is absolutely brilliant and you will become absorbed in the life and trials of Lord Grantham and his estate, Downton Abbey. Not only has it provided great entertainment, but it has had other positive effects. My english has improved and people I encounter ask if I am British. If I owned a promenade suit or court dress I would most certainly wear it thus improving my fashionability. I am seriously considering a new rule in the house; making my family “dress” for supper. This drama has even encouraged my cleaning practice around the home. Unfortunately, I do not have a housemaid or cook or valet. . . it is up to me.

Take my advice this time and have a gander at this show. I dare say you will not be sorry.

Captured Emotion

Photographs are such a blessing for capturing moments of importance. Today I share with you some of the most expressive images from 2011;

The mother returning home from war, the firefighter in Australia trying to help an injured Koala, the child who hears sound for the first time thanks to a cochlear implant, the dog who will not leave his masters’ grave, the little boy who receives a flag in memorial of his dead father….
