Flare jeans are back!!  I love the look of a jean with a flared bottom.  They are so flattering on all body types. A flare leg dresses up an outfit and makes the jeans look less casual, more finished and sophisticated.  They look great with heels, wedges, ballet flats and pointed flats.  Here are some fantastic flare jeans looks!

Madeline Weinrib is a very well know textile designer whose carpets, and fabrics are often featured in high end home design magazines (or “Shelter Books”).  Her family is the founder of ABC Carpet and Home, the eclectic home store in Manhattan, NY.  First Dibs chose Madeline as their Saturday Shopping person.  Though most of her choices are very high end, I still love her style and I am sure you will too.  Saturday Shopping with Madeline

Last Saturday night my husband and I went to The Polo Bar, Ralph Lauren’s first restaurant in New York, featuring classic American cuisine and speciality cocktails.  Since it’s opening last December, The Polo Bar has been the “IT” place to dine in New York City.  I usually rope my girlfriends into coming with me when I go somewhere to research for my blog, but THIS outing I thought was “husband worthy”, so off we went.  The restaurant is beautiful.  It is very regal looking, decorated in the typical iconic Ralph Lauren style, similar to that of his other retail and dining locations.  There were special touches everywhere.  The drinks are stirred with little polo mallets, which they generously gave me a few, to feature on my own bar cart at home.  A small memento from such a special place.  If you are in New York and have the opportunity, you will LOVE The Polo Bar!
