GUEST FASHION EDITOR: ROSEMARIE MCKEE

With a passion for the style of yesteryear, Rosemarie McKee is

always dressed to the nines with a classic, tailored look. Sentimental

about her clothes and jewelry, McKee continues to rotate her favorite

looks back into her closet year after year.

Rosemarie McKee:
Rosemarie McKee: "My style is clean and unfussy and I'm minimal with jewelry. I'm drawn to more tailored styles.'
DIANE VON FURSTENBERG DRESS
DIANE VON FURSTENBERG DRESS "I love the simple, clean lines. It's just an easy dress. I'm a big dress person, because they are so easy and you can always change them up with accessories."
ROBERTA 
FREYMANN BLOUSE
ROBERTA FREYMANN BLOUSE "I wore this all summer - it has great colors and it's easy to roll up in a bag to travel. I've also worn it as a cover-up or with jeans."
DIANE VON FURSTENBERG DRESS
DIANE VON FURSTENBERG DRESS "Anything with the color black attracts me, but I liked the art-deco look of this dress. It's elegant for nighttime, but I can also pair it with boots for daytime."
EMBROIDERED COAT
EMBROIDERED COAT "I actually bought this in Hawaii at a surf shop. I wear this coat with jeans or over dresses. I like the embroidery - it makes it look more than it was."
VERA WANG DRESS
VERA WANG DRESS "I love the color of this dress. It's such a simple, nicely tailored gown, and I loved it when I saw it. The dress is very elegant and very old-Hollywood glamour."
MIU MIU HANDBAG
MIU MIU HANDBAG "This is a great everyday bag. I love the color. I love the bow on it because it's elegant, but not too 'cute.' I love it even more because I got it on major sale."
BOTKIER HANDBAG
BOTKIER HANDBAG "I bought this for Palm Ball because I needed something pink. I'm not a hot pink or ruffle kind of person, but this has been so versatile and I carry it often."
ISABELLA 
FIORE 
HANDBAG
ISABELLA FIORE HANDBAG "My sister-in-law gave this to me eight years ago. I remember her buying it for me and I love carrying it -�it has my sign on it too, Sagittarius.'
VINTAGE COCKTAIL SHAKER 
'My mother got this for my birthday - it's a 1940s cocktail shaker with a Bakelite handle. It makes me feel so glamorous, even just pouring iced tea.
VINTAGE COCKTAIL SHAKER 'My mother got this for my birthday - it's a 1940s cocktail shaker with a Bakelite handle. It makes me feel so glamorous, even just pouring iced tea."
VINTAGE BRACELET
VINTAGE BRACELET "This is my grandmother's charm bracelet - it's big and gaudy and I love it. It brings me back to my Italian roots."
VINTAGE 
BRACELETS
VINTAGE BRACELETS "I really seem to like vintage or sentimental jewelry. It does not just sit in my drawer; I will wear these Bakelite bracelets over and over again."
JIMMY CHOO SHOES
JIMMY CHOO SHOES "I bought these heels because I like the line of them and now I realize the color goes with so much. It's definitely a neutral color for me."
FRYE BOOTS
FRYE BOOTS "These boots are distressed and look worn in. Once the cooler weather comes, they are easy and wonderful for daytime."
