Outside the new Michael Kors at Kierland Commons in the silk Zip Dress and Berkley Sandals.
Hello. My name is Kira. And I’m a Michael Kors-a-holic. (You: Hi Kira.)
It started off innocently, with an amazing silver handbag when the lifestyle store opened at Scottsdale Fashion Square a few years back. Now, however, allow me to confess that I am officially obsessed with the top American designer.
Of kors, not only do I buy into the brand of well-made, well-priced clothing and accessories, I buy into the lifestyle. The advertisements depicting the gorgeous model Carmen Kass as a glamorous, modern, yet everyday goddess mesmerize my blue-green eyes and entice my little heart into believing I can be so glamorous each and every day.

Of kors, there are so many style books out there that warn never to wear one designer from hair-to-heels. In fact, during Tim Gunn’s recent visit to Scottsdale where he hosted a fashion show filled with style tips and the latest looks for summer, the fabulous Mr. Gunn announced something along the lines of, “You wouldn’t wear one designer from head-to-toe!” My heart stopped at this. Wait…what??!! Why not?! I remember feeling mortified as I took a quick inventory of my outfit: Michael Kors flats, Michael Kors dress, Michael Kors watch, Michael Kors handbag, Michael Kors oversized sunglasses perched on my head. Ummmm…sorry Tim. Obviously, I dare to disagree.

Of kors, I don’t think it’s really the designer from head-to-toe that can be fashionably problematic (as I hope Tim would agree too). It’s the logo from head-to-toe and worse, many flashy logos fighting for advertising real estate on one’s body that deems one’s look problematic. My suggestion is to keep the logos at minimum and let the fit, flattery and you feeling confident in what you’re wearing do the talking.
Of kors, how can I not shop MK when the lovely Scottsdale store manager, Brandi, and her fab staff treat me like a princess each and every time I step into the heavenly store. Though, I consider myself an equal opportunity shopper, willing to shop the range of stores and designers, for me, there’s nothing like stepping into a Michael Kors and stepping out a Carmen Kass.
