Indian Summer

Summer time is here, the good news is you get to wear less clothing. Yippee! OR Yipes! The summer sun is here to help you through your body issues. Just add spray tan. Do you spend all year long obsessing about parts of your body that poof with a little tan become more lovable? I feel your pain. I might be inwardly obsessing but I know how to dress around my issues. I did just get a beach cruiser and am convinced if I do 20 miles weekly from Hermosa to Venice I can keep what I’ve got. What do you think?

I don’t look like I am going on a bike ride of course. I want to be cute on my metallic hunter green bike with basket and a bell. I want my boyfriend Adam to be riding behind me thinking “look at my sassy little bike girl.” Better than leaving me in the dust at Dockweiler. Read the rest of this entry »

Feature Summer Picks

FeatherBarbra's summer Picks

1. Don’t be a Gangsta be a Wang-sta!

Who doesn’t have Big LOVE for T By Alexander Wang?

AW’s 2 x 2 one arm ribbed dress will take you through the entire 4th of July Weekend.

Style Tip – Buy pieces that will multi-task in your wardrobe. Always look for a little drama in your purchases especially when they are made of oh so comfy cotton. The single arm detail is just different enough and is also a great way to deflect from too many curves.
Double Style Tip – Don’t wear this dress completely straight even if you are stick thin. You need to create movement by using your body as the anchor. Let the dress go a little shorter if you can or pair with a low slung belt.

No shirt, no shoes, no service. Universal law of billiards, bars and restaurants. How about the law of our universe? Each person and or company strives to be environmentally friendly and 100% cruelty free. Easier to put your shirt and shoes on? Ignorance is bliss until Biggy Smalls raps ‘and if you don’t know now you know”Fact- The livestock/ leather industry is the largest contributor to global warming, land devastation and environmental pollution.

Be Still My Copper Heart

Los Angeles fashion, style, shopping and culture

Jewelry designer Lydia Marcos brings us back to junior high crushes.

What happens when you take 90′s iconic rock-n-roll woods, inlaid in chunky metals, and femme fatale it up in a women’s collection of cuffs, rings, pendants and super-sized statement necklaces?

By our estimation, you get the next Hollywood stylist’s obsession, courtesy jewelry designer Lydia Marcos. Think 70′s British Vogue beach girl meets 80′s Chanel power pearls in overdrive.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to work with me? I swear I didn’t even ask for this A-mazing testimonial from best selling author Jen Sincero but I am beaming big time!

So Whatcha Whatcha Gonna Do?

Have you ever wondered WHO is THIS Barbra Horowitz and WHAT is all this fashion chatter coming through my email? Like the Black Eyed Peas sing- Im a B, Im a B– a personal/celebrity stylist, the author of Closet Control(Sterling Press) and on air personality for my popular you tube channel-What Would Barbra Do?

For those who want to read the silliness I spew…I ask you? So Whatcha Whatcha Gonna DO? Earth day turns the big 4-0 today…I had no idea ED and I were so close in age however I do remember going to Earth Day concerts in Golden Gate Park in San Fran back in the 90′s. Who can tell me who headlined cuz I haven’t a clue….

I was unconsciously conscious for recycling all of my clothing in those days.

Yep simply being selfish and clever enough to figure out how to get my fashion fix. Recycling your clothing was just stupid smart for me..

When I became a published author of the book/dvd Closet Control in 2007 I coined the term, Eco-Selfish. What does that mean? Think street style savvy. Want something new? Sell something old? uh duh?

That’s Eco-Selfish which now happens to be good for you-good for your pocketbook and good for the planet.

In Fashion One Day You Are In, The Next Day You Are Out.

One day you are in and the next day you are out. What is this high school? Pretty Photo Credit from impawards.commuch.

The sociological pressures of “fitting in” today as an adult can certainly feel reminiscent of how you felt growing up. Hardddddd huh?

Who doesn’t have that popular pretty girl/guy from high school wedged at the forefront of their minds? Wanna hear about mine?

Kim Riskas a junior was my fashion ’it’ girl. One day Kim wore this chambray western shirt with a square plaquard overlay.”Too cool for school” dark pleated cigarette jeans paired with toffee cowboy boots topping it all off a   monogrammed navy Gucci doctor bag. I remember this outfit like it was yesterday.

Kim would roll up to school in her Black El Dorado often walking in late to 1st period French.

Kim sat in front of me one row over, I would drift off from Ms. Whitman’ Parlez-vous wondering, could I ever be as cool as Kim? All these years later I know now that what I was really after was Kim’s confidence and that navy monogrammed Gucci doctor bag, I still want it.

Are You little Miss Multiple?

1-2-3 Or can you go for 4?

If the above doesn’t describe your sex life. Read on little miss multiple.

Let’s daydream for a moment. You’re in the shoe department at Nordstrom. It’s their Half-yearly sale.

Your super- spotter- shopping endorphins begin to kick in.

You’ve spotted the cutest ballet flat EVERRRRRRRR and your closing in.

You think “I’ll buy the white. Can’t go wrong-so practical-goes with everything. Do you stop there?  As if- you aren’t satisfied yet! (they’re on sale!) Gosh the turquoise are fun and oh look Fuschia!

You stop and ask yourself: What would Audrey Hepburn do in Breakfast at Tiffany’s or Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the city? Your heart begins to beat faster- like hot boy fast.
