You do such a beautiful job, Annette. You're so articulate and professional but approachable - like shopping with your best, most fashionable girlfriend. A Current Affair is lucky to have you!
Great view into your life and commitment to fashion education !!! Just really wanted to share with you the lovely impact your style had on me for last night’s Thanksgiving dinner! You inspired me to bring out my Mother’s 1980’s heavily beaded, black and gold bordered, cropped jacket. I styled it in YOUR classic way: with jeans, a black T-shirt, leopard ballet flats with black patent leather bows, and fabulous gaudy gold Jewelry that my Grandmother had designed in the 1960’s. My daughter (mid 20’s) wore a great vintage Liz Claiborne black knit sweater, with iridescent teardrop beads scattered all over, tight straight leg black watch plaid pants, her black chunky boots, and great silver jewelry she has collected, including Victorian silver earrings she found in Spain, and 4 different silver necklaces (some with black jet beads) she styled together. EVERYTHING we wore was either Vintage or thrifted!!! We went to her Godmother’s home for Thanksgiving. My daughter also has 2 beloved teenage “God-siblings”. There were additional assorted teen boyfriends and girlfriends, and Hollywood industry folk in their 30’s and 40’s. (And lots of dogs!) After BIG Hugs from our very sweet and loving God-family, the kids all said “you look AMAZING! I LOVE your jacket! Your whole “fit” is so awesome!! OMG! Where did you get it?!!? (They LOVED my daughter’s look, as always!) I felt so great (especially as I am 67 years old!) They are very sweet and loving kids, but also quite sophisticated as they are descendants of “Hollywood Royalty” and grew up on various red carpets. Elsa Scaparelli , was their Great, great, great Aunt! One grandmother ran with Andy Warhol, the other was a muse and designer for Ralph Lauren, and had her own clothing line. So it’s a very loving, but sophisticated young crowd. Also the jacket was a huge icebreaker with people I met, as Everyone asked about it and the way I had styled it with my grandmother’s jewelry. I’m usually quite shy with people I don’t know, in fact, I suffer from acute social anxiety, but the outfit had people coming up to me in a warm and open way. It made conversation so easy and relaxing, even intimate right away, talking about my Mother and Grandmother, their families, their lives… I told them I had been inspired to style it all by you! THANK YOU so very much! Fashion is so much more than superficial, it’s
Oops… I don’t think it was clear that the talk of my matriarchs opened the conversation to the other person’s mother, family and life. So it gave us a more intimate connection right from the start. Which is more comfortable for everyone.
This made me SO happy to read! It sounds like you and your daughter were a hit at Thanksgiving dinner and I’m certain I would be obsessed with your outfits. They sound so good! I love that fashion can help so many connections. Any time I’m at a networking event, I wear my neon tipped slingback heels because they’re a great ice breaker. Thank you so much for sharing this with me! Truly makes me enjoy what I do even more! 🤍🤍🤍
Also I love that you got all that love surrounded by Hollywood and fashion royalty. It’s proof that style is about the person, not the brand and they recognized that in you!!!
Okay I was totally thinking you were doing A Current Affair show from the late 80s - mid 90s and thought "oh wow they have really changed the program/topics 😅
Omgggg hahaha! I totally forgot about the show and now I’m ded. I’m certain that if I did host the og show, I’d probably wear some over the top gaudy vintage dress 😂😂
Annette, you are a jewel! Thanks for taking us along! You are the hostess w the mostess! I fell years ago when I was 6 mos pregnant w my daughter! I lived in Germany at the time and was wearing some chonky boot shoe heel situation and I landed on my elbows so I wouldn’t hit my belly! Ugh 😩 I feel for you … Loved this video! You look so beautiful in everything you style! ❤
Thank you so much! Glad you liked the video. It’s so scary to fall! I fell on my elbows to protect Violet who was on thankfully. I’m glad you were ok when you fell 😭😭
I loved this episode. As usual! I have seen the fortuny pleated dress several times. Are there a lot of these or this is a hard one to move? Beth tried something like it on in the last year. I crave it but it's hard to find a suitable, or even unsuitable, place to wear it
You remind me of one of new my fav actresses Alba Flores!! She is gorg! Google her name. Anyway great video! Loved the fit you wore with the sweatshirt and striped green and black pantalones! 😁😘
Yay great job 🎉

Fashion is so much more than superficial, it’s
History and connection.
