I don’t like to shop, but I love to look fab. No invisible for me baby! When given this assignment— go blow $25,000 on clothes — I lit up. Cause some of my besties are my Glorious Broads fashion icons — and stylists. They’ve been turning me on to goodies for years. And so, I called on them for guidance. My basics cost no money. Zara is my temple — basic black jumpsuit, turtles, a long ribbed black dress, a black beret and a gerzillion tights. Done. It’s the accessories I focus on. And as I age — I blow the dough here. Think badass mama — grown-up style. Let's start with some jewels.

Diana Vreeland red acrylic necklace chains anchored with animal print beads. This color put me into overdrive. Must find lipstick to match. $1,500.

Five strands of pearls and glitter. Liz says inspired by those jewels worn during the Flapper era. The Charleston — my next class? $1500.

Commedia del ‘arte was the inspiration for this collar. White faux bois discs combined with red baubles — swoon. $1200.

Inspiration for a black-tasseled, mother-of-pearl stunner was purely tribal. Worn with colorful African prints. Glamour galore. $1500.

Love setting off my $40 on-the-street acquired beret with this killer brooch, combining the eye of Fornasetti and a touch of hand-applied gilt. $500

80’s Louis Vuitton bag —red with leopard trim. Multi-color tassels on front pouch, gold and leather braided strap. I panted. $3,300.

Oscars! Fell in love with a Nicole Miller Silver Sequin Gown with form-fitting halter top. Va va voom. $795

TOTAL - $5008
