Fashion takes a seat in the Designs of Thierry Barbier Sitting pretty, not on your life. These furnishings are vibrant, brave and take charge of your interior design. We're huge fans  of Thierry Yves Barbier, Furniture Designer. He's taken on French Furnishings with a vengeance, and put the Zing back into the French Living room. No, this is not your mother's favorite French, it's tradition,

The Fashion for Fragrance:  Luxury has a name...its "Only for Her" Only for Her”, the new fragrance by HAYARI Couture, of Paris is made in Grasse, France in hand-numbered bottles, each one of a kind.  The fragrance ingredients feature the white peony, queen of the oriental flowers combined with the elegance of the magnolia. This duet is blended with notes of jasmine, reminiscent of Mr. Hayari

Hello, Red Carpet season!  Let the games begin! Reese is sizzling on the carpet here, very blonde, beachy, and Los Angeles but let's review:  Why are the girls trying to match and compete with the carpet? Wouldn't a designer who is smart (Zac Posen) advise that on camera, a red dress just blends in with the carpet, and, well, takes over the wearer?  While the dress is nice, the purpose

Oh Joy, Oh Rapture:  Tangerine is the new color for 2012 according to PANTONE.   We have it on good authority that the fashion industry was well ahead of this somewhat conservative body of color experts.  Some of us even have friends who have always been committed to this color (you know who you are). Now that we've cleared that up, let's discuss what this color really means to the rest of us

We love how patterns have appeared in the last two seasons Fall/Winter and now in the Springtime looks for 2012.   Its a refreshing change to add to our already dedicated closet of black, tan, beige, gray.  We're all about property ladies handbags and this one by YSL is perfect for those little black basics done in a computerized houndstooth that brings it right to a sort of digital chic.

Edgy streetwear in the mini-luxe category makes its debut this collections week.  Shown in the showroom with a few models modeling in a street/cas style, the line appears to be a great mix of rocker, street, luxe all wrapped up in pieces that are going to add to anyone's wardrobe. We're already BALMAIN fans...so it was just a matter of time for them to put this all together for those of us

  While the French Fashion rage on this week, we couldn't help but notice our favorite classic house, MAX MARA was busy celebrating an anniversary. Born in 1951, the house created the classics in days when a women wore a bag, shoes and gloves all to match with her perfectly tailored coat. Did we say that was 1951? Well, now that the ladylike bag has returned, and you can purchase dreamy

Without Much ADO, we'll just say it. Lots of fuss about nothing these days in the Paris shows...so much needs to be re-devised there, with designers who are either IN or OUT. Some fashion houses continue to deliver, but, others, are just out of gas, literally.  Our favorite still remains the house of LANVIN, where chic, simple desires are met with gorgeous fabrics and cut.  Elber Albaz is always

While're we're fans of most couture displays, aspiring to the luxe experience, we're not opposed to a great fashion bargain..and we've discovered that some "Brand Name" fashion girls, like JLO, and others, have taken to the fashion mass market scene just like TARGET, H&M, and now KOHL's has featured J LO,  an interesting way to bring to the street, her now ultimate chic. We perused the pages and

Here is the beauty and the beast, where ads and art, meet and its the new "luxe" in luxury advertising campaigns that have us all in a twist. Where should we begin? First of all, we love a good photo and a good movie. Here's both. Mystery, beauty, a plot line? Only you can guess and that's what makes the new luxury couture campaign so interesting.

Hello, call us crazy but we were thinking bout our own LA designer, Richard Tyler the other day, as having now looked at the Fall 2011 Collections...its clear that he was ahead of his time....here's some things form 2001-3.  Ok, isn't that practically the stone age in Fashion-speak? Sure, but these pieces are still good: sexy, wearable, black, (*we can add other accents to them now in jewel tones

Black, white, creme, leather, feathers and a bird-like dreamscape made this showing a unique display of Karl's expert hand.  Some of the jackets difficult, the fabrics stiff, but with the right mix of high and low, or just a simple glittering

The Enfant Terrible, always controversial, ready to expand the envelope of fashion from trendy to visionary, Jean Paul Gaultier is always a surprise.  We saw his exhibit in Paris of theatrical costumes that were part of his long love affair with the theater at the Decortive Arts Museum.  His playful and always irreverent exploration of his viewpoint of the female figure  along with witty "tweaks"

Imagine if you will, a salon that is decorated like an urban loft with retro 1960s touches of natural wood, glass and white leather with a dash of  stainless steel.  A chic mid-century modern sensibility makes the space spare yet comfortable.  When you walk in the receptionists are actually friendly, offering you a glass of lemon water or green tea while you sink into the luxurious leather

Its not everyday that one personality, one actress, seems to have broken all the rules, and gone her own way, like Elizabeth Taylor.  Her life was a reflection of an era, a century, in which women who were beautiful, wilful, talented and extraordinary, had to fight their way to freedom.  Elizabeth had many lives, many incarnations.  But, in watching her on CLEOPATRA, it was clear that this film

The Los Angeles Fashion Week end at the Gower Studios was a wonderful mix of brands, fashion and artists from LA's urban landscape. The men's fashion was our favorite, and, we adored the companies "Z-BRAND" and "CIVIL SOCIETY" which paraded down the runway just the type of men we adore:  stylish, masculine, utilitarian but with a dash of luxury in the fabrics and cuts. We saw period inspired

From the entrance of LADY GAGA's egg and the sexy Kim Kardashian wearing the spin-off of James Bond's Gold Finger Girl, the fashion scene was really soup to nuts...yes, we mean nuts.

The Golden Globes are always filled with predictions for fashion trends and lessons learned. With the "pre-quel" to the red carpet fashions of the Academy Awards, the trends of the day are on display from top to toe.  Elegance, finally, has returned to the red carpet, but, for those of us who are longing for the large "DUCK" dress worn by Bjork or a comical outfit usually sported by Celine Dion,

I recently met Genevieve James, Design Director at her company, Cornelia James which, is one of the last glove makers in the world.  Small wonder that her mother, who was designated as the glove maker to the Queen was the creator of the many beautiful gloves we have seen on both the Queen Mum, and, the rest of the Royal family. This latest announcement of the Royal Wedding has my friend who makes

New and fresh designs from Paula Cademartori, shows that the trends in spring bags are not about elegance and, ladylike, shapes  but, cross-seasonal.  Although we love the idea of spring colors, its nice to know we can invest in a bag that will go all the way to the summer, its coloration a hint of what's to come.  Paula's designs are varied, and, we'll bring you more styles as well.

Dare we say we have predicted the demise of trash and flash, and, the return of the elegance? Quite frankly, the truth is, that we've been there, and done that. The quiet, elegant and subtle sexiness of Grace Kelley and is showing itself on the catwalk. I think that it took the Paris runways to remind us, that, well, girls are great, but the elegant women trumps them all.  I hope that "it" media

She was unique. Dashing. Forward thinking. Empowering. That was, Chanel. With her birthday happening this month, its no wonder we wanted to take a moment to celebrate this extraordinary women. Her life, and, her art were integrated into one grand experience, and, women everywhere sa her spritis and admired her, and, her workers were terrified of her. She was exacting, demanding, precise.

The Delights of Dior are to be found in every collection, and, often American magazine writers mistake the delicious fantasies for real fashion.  No, the sensibility of French Couture is that Fashion, is an art, a delightful romp into a vision of a dreamer.  Theater. Opera. Movies. All great influences for the French Couture business. Just breathtaking, and designed to simply 'stop' our breath.

OMG the fall collections were full of great leather pieces that are perfect for every closet and business wardrobe. We were happy to see that the prim ladies-who-lunch will be sent right over the edge with these dangerous, sexy, and classic pieces.  There were pants, skinny leggings, sheath dresses and skirts. For business travel you can easily pack these pieces, too, and, we suggest earth tones

Grey and gloomy days will never be the same again with the Hot Spring Trend carried into Fall.  Beautiful. Sleek. Smokey. Neutral.  Smashing. Grey is smokey, delicious and mysterious. Also, practical and neutral when worn tone on tone, or, when paired with creme, taupe, smoke or navy, its a whole new Grey Day. All styles above available at Bergdorf Goodman.com

Fall 2010 Report makes Navy and Midnight the new take on Black, a welcome change from the usual suspects.  Here is what we love about Navy: its chic, it simple, you can wear almost anything with it, gold, silver, platinum, shiny or  matte, suede, its going to be very practical to take the elements right out of your closet and go. We Love That. Power lunch, dinner out, chic and simple.

The Satchel has left the mail room.  This is the new shape for fall, and, like its mailbag counterpart, its easy to carry and very useful. But, then, there's that style factor. This bag will finally put all of our things into place. No more searching inside the dark amorphous shapes of the HOBO BAG, where all things get lost like the Bermuda Triangle.  This new shape will take the Fall handbag

In Paris, a girl doesn't get much of a tan, so, she has to resort to the best in the biz. The Guerlain Bronzer, is the classic, and, can't be replaced in our humble opinion for the summer. It now comes in about 8 shades, so, there is a tan for every complexion.  Personally, I love to take out this beautiful tortoise case, and, sweep away on my cheeks, neck and decollete, and secret tip: the

We know that its hard to even think about Fall, at this stage in the game. Summer fun is in full swing, but, let's face it, the collections are out, and, we've got to plan ahead.  We'll be posting some of the trends coming up, so, you can take a break, from the sun, and think ahead!  These are perfect for business, sexy pieces you can mix around, and, even, dare we say it, wear out at night.

There is a knack, to looking fantastic in the summertime. Its about simplicity. Chic. Gorgeous skin, a hint of tan and sparkle. In short, its the way the French do it. Bobby Brown has captured this beautiful idea in her new Beach Club collection.  With simple set of products you can mix these into your routine and look anything but. We also suggest a scarf, some shades, and, a

There is no substitute for the real thing. Vintage Fashion, always a staple in Hollywood, takes an authentic turn in "What Goes Around, Comes Around" a Soho NYC boutique that has arrived on Hollywood.   This shop, it feels like a general store from a small town, say, Paris, Texas. Authentic cowboy boots line the shelves, leather pants, vests, and other western style staples are there, artfully

Just an everyday gown and fabulous shoe for you to dream about this spring.  Of course, simple white linens, your favorite jeans or chic black or navy work as well, but who wouldn't want to enter a room  in diamonds from head to toe? The gown is made of exquisite layers of re-embroidered lace, with stones, crystals and sparkling beads that come together in something quite special.  Sitting in

A Fall Preview of short takes on what to expect for Trends in the Fall: These are the classy and sexy items that we think a girl just can't have enough of. As to your personal style, these pieces simply add to an already (we hope) closet full of the basics.  Think "Icing on the Cake" to your wardrobe.  Golden sparkle, animal prints leather, sexy classics that make you, shine forth.

Let's face it: in this economy, a full wardrobe of clothes each season is simply not possible for most of us. What makes our

At Christian Dior Spring Collections:  There she was, the country girl with an attitude. First, she enters in her riding outfit: elegant, poised, contained in her riding jacket, top hat and side wrapped skirts. Then, taking a page from Christian Dior Archives, Galliano created a hushed silence as his ball room creations entered the salon.  With Drama, and his characteristic flair, the gowns were

She was all over the runways. Glorious. Deliberate, Mysterious and very, very bad. She's that Film Noire heroine that we are just beginning to appreciate.  Once the citizen of No-town USA, the back alleys of B-Movies, now, she's hit the fashion runways and gone uptown.  Galliano, and other Couture Houses have brought her back, first in the Fall Collections and now, for Spring. She's sporting

Just when we thought that Eco fashion was about comfortable shoes and Tent Dresses, think again. The beautiful designs of Couture designer Linda Loudermilk, have changed this fashionista's point of view.  First of all, her background is in costume design, textiles and theater, things we relate to here at Stylist Privee so we know she has the soul,  spirit and a sense of Drama we really admire.

Collections aside, the real fashion report is what the editors, and fashionable Parisians are wearing on the street. Always chic, always on point, the Paris fashion lifestyle is a mix of high and low, street wear and imported luxuries. These ladies of style really get the idea of style and comfort. We can't wait to see what's inside at the collections.

Let's take a collective breather, for a moment.  Let's consider, the entire point, of Fashion, and why we love it. Let's..... Review Refresh Renew The whole point, is to enjoy. Sometimes its color, or the beautiful fabrics, or the cut or fit.  Fashion makes us dream, aspire to be better, and creates a fantasy or entertains us. Fashion Changes, but Style, is Classic.

   Its a challenge to keep up the level of fashion glamour when you have so many awards shows to attend, what's a girl to do?  First of all, get some assistance, don't try this at home, alone.  Also, we can't help but notice, that girls, its a carpet, and its red. Why do so many stars insist on wearing the same color as the furniture, (e.g. the red carpet) the best looks are always those

January means Golden Globes, and glamour on the Red Carpet.  Here's our picks for the most interesting choices, fashion risks and even, simple glamor that brings the Globes to their high point each year. These dresses are neutral in color, flatter the figure, and put the glam-o-meter needle at the top. What's the secret of this collection? hairstyles that flatter with simple chic, not too

After a year of sky-high platforms, Kate's hairstyles, red-carpet bloopers, extreme sales, its been a difficult year for fashion. But, the brave and glorious fashion followers among us will muster on, and we'll offer a few tips to get through this year, and the decade of Fashion we can look back on and laugh or cry, whichever comes first: The decade of Uncomfortable shoes - if only we could

Attending a soiree is always nice, but one that is accompanied by a side of Diamonds is even better. Erica Courtney, who is known for her Red Carpet decorations of the beautiful Hollywood set, presented her goodies to get us excited for the holidays.  She was the true inventor of the Chandelier Earring, after Marie Antoinette, and her convertible version can be separated for day or evening and

You won't find the Bohemian Shopper on Black Friday, waiting in line at Walmart or Target, for the latest in technology gadgets.  Instead, if we go mass market, it might be to wait in line at H&M for the latest black one shoulder leather dress.  Still, we do love a good thing when we see it, so we've put together our list of for your holiday gifts, beauty and fashion that's a bit off the radar

Women ask me, "where did you find that" on a regular basis, and after I thank them for their compliments, the Confessions begin:My answers are usually surprising, because it appears that I am wearing the latest trends, the chicest accessories, or totally fabulous shoes. I am a Bohemian Shopper, and that makes me an expert on how to find things that are off the fashion radar screen, and in places

Accessories are designed to entice you and empower the wearer with their edgy elegance and the designers at CCSKYE have inspired us. First of all, the materials and combination of metals, leathers, stones, surface details and functionality are "street couture" in feeling. The handbags are both soft or structured with gold or silver metal details, the quality of the finishes on the hardware makes

Just in case you were wondering, we love how these DIOR compacts get all of our holiday beauty into one location. These tiny chic little cases are filled with DIOR Lip and Eye products in easy to carry sizes that are perfect for gifts for yourself, or for your best gal pal. Who doesn't love DIOR? We think its FASHION on the go and suggest you buy two. No, they don't pay us to say that, we just

Playful, Casual and Fresh brought designers from Bohemian Society, Jen Awad and Seth Wellington out to play. A fresh reminder that LA is the land of sportswear, and international culture, and the place where casual sportswear was invented.

The "Paper Bag Princess" a well known vintage shop in Beverly Hills presented a Runway show, featuring fashions inspired Valentino.

Isn't it wonderful that the House of Dior is still giving us the perfect suits, dresses, handbags and shoes? Resort 09 is no exception, and so when I am having a bad day, I just look at this perfect suit, with the slim skirt and perfectly tailored jacket, and I instantly get happy. Dior rarely disappoints when they do what they do best, understated elegance. What can us mere mortals learn from

The art of draping, make this a beautiful new trend from Donna Karan, the women who brought the elegance back to the power suit. Whether its a top over jeans, a dress for dinner, or a draped suit, the look is a classic that is fresh again. We like to see rich colors, but a simple draped blouse over a skinny jean with an edgy platform heel is a look that works on anyone. The history of the

 Every designer label a girl dreams about is at the new Vintage Boutique, CURATE COUTURE on the Westside of Los Angeles. Located in a beautiful gallery space, the clothes are a treat to try on, the staff is on to the latest mix of trends.  Not all vintage boutiques are alike, and this one offers a unique mix of last minute trends or a classic Gucci, Celine or YSL for the fashion purist.

Lipstick, is the key to happiness. Psychologists will tell you that a lipstick is just short of a huge splurge purchase in a down economy. We suggest a visit to your favorite beauty site, (SEPHORA pictured here) to shop for your RED, PINK, BURGUNDY, gloss, creme, or matte tone to do what only lipstick can do: Bring sexiness and Cheer, to even the darkets of Fall Days. Enjoy!

Its refreshing to see that even the Classics, can continue to hold power, while the new classics, take their place next to the Little Black Dress, and the Camel coat.

The Dior windows on the Avenue Montaigne are dreamy, delicious and Purple.Purple, is the "It" color for the Fall that looks good on just about everyone. Paired with Black, Grey, creme, camel or even jeans, a purple top, pants or a shoe is a fresh color for the Fall season. We love how designers have put neutrals together with this color, and given basic Fall Black a fresh new take. Eggplant

The "Soho Style", familiar to most New Yorkers is very distinct. But Le Marais, in Paris, is to my mind, the heart of this style, and the true expression of this idea of "Bohemian Chic" with shops that are like art galleries; spare but elegant. A friendly group of young fashionistas are there to help you put your Fall look together with an array of interesting choices, which is, Le Marais,

Well, we just can't get enough of H&M in the USA, we're totally addicted to it, me included. I just heard that on November 14th, worldwide, the Jimmy Choo collection for H&M will debut.

As we review the wreckages of our past, as Fashionistas, I can safely say,that I have never regretted my voyages to Outlet Malls. They used to be the "well-kept secret" of the housewives of America, but now, the European experience is just not complete without a visit to a well-heeled Outlet Mall that boasts shops "to die for" and bargains to tell your gal pals at the coffee shop or water cooler

The Palais Royale, the historic palace of Cardinal Richelieu has always been a fashionable address. The Palace itself is under renovations and the 21st century scaffolding presents an interesting contrast to the original elegant architecture that is being repaired.
