12 Drummers Drumming

On the Twelvth Day of Christmas, Moxie sent to me, the 12 Drummers Drumming Dress.


The dress is, well ... FUN! This dress will put a smile on your face, as well as anyone who sees you in it. A short velvet dress modeled after a drum with rich red and black textures directly from a toy drum.




Just like a drum, the velvet is stretched tight over the body and criss crossed gold cording lace the sides from top to bottom. Matching black pumps are also part of this dress.

A completely adorable hat tops it all off. A child's toy drum rests at a jaunty angle, giving the entire ensemble a festive and fun feel.

10 Lords A Leaping

On the Tenth Day of Christmas, Moxie sent to me, the 10 Lords a Leaping Gown.

This is a Red Carpet gown if ever I saw one. Three separate panels of sheer silk cover this floor length skirt, moving as if you are walking on air.

The corset bodice is covered in mosaic patterns with three vibrant colors of blue, green and purple. By now, you should know Moxie has a hidden surprise for us. Upon closer inspection of the mosaic patterns, you will see 10 Lords Leaping with joy.

A charming black feather boa is draped over the shoulder for that added touch of sophistication. Sheer black stockings and matching black pumps completes the outfit.

Men will be leaping into your arms when you wear this gown.

9 Ladies Dancing

On the Ninth Day of Christmas, Moxie sent to me, the 9 Ladies Dancing Gown.

And this dress was made for dancing! The halter top has a daring keyhole opening and detailed rose appliques the entire length of the torso. A soft flowing skirt has an incredibly sexy open slit exposing the right left from ankle to hip. The deep, rich blood red color would make a rose blush in shame. Matching red pumps are included with this gown.


You ask why this outfit is called 9 Ladies Dancing? Take a close look at the gorgeous hair ornament of red roses. You will see nine lacy ladies dancing around the line of roses!

What man wouldn't want to dance closely with a Lady wearing this rich gown.

8 Maids A Milking

On the Eighth Day of Christmas, Moxie sent to me, the 8 Maids a Milking Mask.

Moxie has always been an outstanding clothing designer, but her masks are in a league of their own. The detailing on this mask indescribable! You have to take a close look at this to really understand the incredible amount of work that went into this design.

The white and silver feathers, sparkling beads, white roses and the beautiful mask texture make this mask breath-taking. But what puts this mask into the superb category are the eight tiny milk white maids hidden throughout the mask. Moxie didn't miss a step with this creation.

I could think of only one dress and one dress alone that is fit to wear with this exquisite mask - Moxie's Winter White Snowflake Gown. Even a Maid will feel like a Queen wearing this one-of-a-kind mask.

7 Swans A Swimming

On the Seventh Day of Christmas, Moxie sent to me, the 7 Swans a Swimming Dress.


I should mention a male friend was visiting me when I was photographing this dress and begged for a copy. A snowy white corset top depicts seven graceful swans gliding atop a sash of white and blue/gray ruffles. White and gray feathers adorn the hips and bustle.


Sheer white stocking topped with white lace and a thin blue/gray ribbon weaved into the lace. White satin gloves and a matching hair ornament with a crisp white and blue/gray flower and white and gray feathers top off this gorgeous outfit.

Imagine yourself a beautiful swan as you glide across the dance floor in this dress.

5 Golden Rings ....

On the Fifth Day of Christmas, Moxie sent to me, the 5 Golden Rings Gown.

The first word that came to my mind when I slipped into this gown was sleek! The Golden Rings gown is like wearing a second skin. The bodice is wrapped by, that's right, 5 golden rings of satin that end tied off in two different bows for the right hip. Moxie has also given us a choice of a strapless (which I am wearing) or a golden cross strap top. So you can wear this gown in several different ways.

The black skirt hugs the hips and legs, then gives us fabulous mermaid flair at the end, with a slightly longer train in back. Matching black stockings and pumps are also included in the package.

What better way to treat yourself to a Christmas gift!

4 Calling Birds

On the Fourth Day of Christmas, Moxie sent to me, a 4 Calling Birds Mask.

Moxie created four intricately worked wire and beaded Calling birds in this opulent half mask.

Thick and full black feathers fan out in a semi-circle around the mask. Downy black feathers can be seen around the edges and the multi-coloring of a bird's breast circle the eye opening. Finally, thin black velvet ribbons hang gently from the bottom.

Concerned about a proper fit? No need to worry, because Moxie incorporated a sizing script into the mask for easy fitting.


Moxie has several beautiful dresses in her store that are perfect to wear with this luscious mask. I chose her Black Swan dress to keep the theme of the mask and holiday. Incredibly sexy with its exposed leg, this dress is an actual black swan!

A black satin corset bodice is the swan's body, the waist partially covered in soft black feathers. The swan's neck wraps up and around the right breast, with the head enticingly nestled in the cleavage. A small feathered adornment attaches to the swan's neck. The half skirt is made entirely of black feathers that drape over the hip and almost down to the floor. Even the black satin gloves have a feathered design on them.

You will be the belle of the Masquerade Ball in this stunning mask and dress.

12 Days of Christmas with style!

Ladies, get ready to sing! Our very own Moxie Polano re-created a seasonal song in a very special way. Moxie has created each of the 12 Days of Christmas with style and creativity in the form of dresses, gowns and masks. So let me clear my throat and take a deep breath, for I have the joy to present to you Moxie Polano's Haute Style's 's 12 Days of Christmas is fashion.

On the first Day of Christmas, Moxie gave to me, a Partridge in a Pear Tree. Simple, clean lines of this dress perfectly accentuate the curves of a woman's body with a plunging neckline form-fitting grace. The mermaid style flair of the skirt with its train add chic elegance to this design. The deep rich brown color would make the trees in a forest sigh with envy. By itself, this dress is a must for any woman's closet.

But as the song goes, we find Moxie has beautifully captured the partridge and the pear tree in this dress. The V-neck is lined with branches, leaves and pears, as alive and vibrant as the woman that wears it. Not to be outdone my the dress, a hair adornment with matching branches. leaves and pears also has a small spray of corn blue flowers. Moxie even added a pair of matching brown stiletto pumps to complete the outfit.

Mother Nature herself has come alive in this gown.

Fight the cold with Bodywarmers

I didn't discover one outfit today - I discovered TWO! FA Creations latest release are Brown Tweed and Houndstooth Bodywarmers. Two distinctly different outfits by one amazing designer, Sandie Saenz.

The Brown Tweed Bodywarmer has high waisted tweed trousers. The prim cuffed pant bottoms blend marvelously well and the buttons on the high waist are an excellent accent. A matching tweed vest is layered over a brown plaid shirt. To top it all off is a sleeveless tartan jacket vest with a dark brown bandana to keep you neck toasty warm. I love the the use of the different materials and patterns in the layering.


If skirts are more to your liking, then take a look at the Houndstooth Bodywarmer. The black and white houndstooth skirt is short and flirty over black knitted leggings. A black leather belt with silver accents rests squarely on the hips. The black, long sleeved turtleneck sweater is perfect under the sleeveless bodywarmer jacket . The quilted look, silver buckles and eyelets and finally the houndstooth pockets makes me want to find this at my local department store.

If you can't make up your mind between the trousers and the skirt, why not get both!

Springing Into Winter Fashion

It is time for me to stow away the shorts, tank tops and open-toed sandals and stock up on winter fashions. I stopped in at Bella Donna Couture last night just as the owner, EJ Barnes, was setting out her newest creation. Her Fireside sweater mini set in fawn is perfect for a busy day of errands or cuddling with that someone special in front of the fire.

The beige, cable knit sweater sports a stylish, sculpted cowl-like scrunchy collar that drapes around the neck perfectly. Sculpted cuffs are added to give the sleeves a slight flared look. Coffee colored mesh pantyhose have an amazing texture you can almost feel. The outfit is completed with an ecru colored leather belt that rests gently on the hips. Bella Donna‘s slouch-style Milano boots in beige makes this outfit not only fashionable, but fun as well. With red leather gloves from LeLutka and one of Baiastice's colorful hand bags, I am ready for anything.

How about you? Are you ready for winter?
