Fall’s Key Pieces

Here are your basic essentials for the Fall 2010 season. A denim shirt is a must. Look to Ralph Lauren. He did a whole fall collection of denim looks. Denim on denim is hot right now, but that doesn’t mean go all denim. Always [...]

Lingerie in Public?

From left to right: See by Chloe, Free People, LaROK, Haute Hippie

Love the lingerie look you’ve seen on the runways this spring, but aren’t sure how to pull it off without looking like you didn’t get dressed this morning? Think about soft feminine touches to exaggerate the look. Pale creams and pinks, lace, and pearls. [...]

Festival Festiveness

The season of music festivals is upon us. While Coachella has already passed there are still more to come this summer. In one week I am personally leaving for Bonnaroo in Manchester, Tennessee. This means 3 things: 1) I will be [...]

The Feminine Mystique

1.Tibi 2.Foley+Corinna 3.Free People 4.Diane von Furstenberg

Ruffles scream femininity. These are toned down versions of ruffles that give your outfit some flair. Make sure the ruffles are placed in areas where you would want to draw attention to. They add volume so diagonally across the body like Foley+Corinna or in smaller areas are best.

Always Be [...]

Hot Spot

1.Marc by Marc Jacobs 2.Tabitha Simmons 3.Diane von Furstenberg 4.Prabal Gurung

Seeing spots lately? Polka dots are another way to look feminine if you don’t like to over do it with ruffles, lace, pearls, sequins, etc. It’s a classic, vintage look that’s also a fun print. You can stick with classic white [...]

Color Blocking

Color definitely makes a bold statement. You also need to be very aware of the colors that you are mixing. The staple color combo rules still apply with blocking. Color blocking does not include prints or patterns. If you’re someone who strays away from color [...]

What Style Are You?

Are you Classic? Casual Chic? Bohemian? Girly? Edgy? Here are some looks for you:

Look for sleek, simple lines. These aren’t the trendiest looks. They are looks that will always be in style. Same goes for colors. Classic looks don’t show a lot of skin. Classic always looks mature, but not old.

Think comfort, but not [...]

Jackets

We have been having un-seasonably warm weather, so wearing jackets is still appropriate. Also with all of these holiday parties coming it’s nice to wear a jacket instead of a coat. It goes with your outfit better and don’t have to worry about taking it off (unless you get hot) or if you should wear [...]

It’s Sweater Weather

Holiday dinners with family can either be an elaborate affair or a simple get together with lots of food. Whatever your family’s style dictates your outfit of choice. I prefer more formal or dressed up. That means a dress or slacks, but eventually these clothes come of for more comfortable attire due to over-eating and [...]
