This week has been rough. Scratch that, this month has been rough. I don’t know if it’s the cold or lack of sun or the general doldrums that is waiting for spring but I have been struggling. I’m not normally one for wallowing but I have found myself in need of a mindset makeover. More …
Red All Over
In case you can’t tell from these photos, my favorite trend right now is RED! I usually am all for the monochrome and tend toward neutrals but something about this trend is so fun. I haven’t quite made it to the all red ensemble but there are some red pants I’ve got my eye on …
Stilettos and Stripes
This outfit brings together so many things that make me happy – a great leather jacket, navy blue, a little pattern mixing, and some fierce glasses. Sometimes you just need a feel good outfit and this definitely checks that box for me. For fall, when the temperatures are volatile, it’s all about the layers. This …
Pieces On Repeat
I have to say this outfit is making me happy right now! It’s made up of some of my favorite layering pieces this season. The vest I’ve been wearing on repeat with outfits like this one or with some over-the-knee suede boots and a big scarf. The beanie is so warm and cosy that I …
New Year in Neutrals
My favorite neutral color is navy. It’s actually my favorite color period but I love that it can act as a neutral. I think many of us were taught not to mix neutrals – like if you wear a brown belt you wear brown shoes. This is actually not the case as neutrals are just …
Stripes and City Lights
I love a challenge – especially if it’s fashion related. One of the fun things about fashion is sifting through trends and finding ways to incorporate them into your personal style. People often think the way they see a trend on Kendall Jenner is the only way to wear it but that is not so. …
Petite Picks
Being petite has its perks. You can curl up in a coach class airplane seat, legroom is never a problem, and you can wear the highest heels in the world and not tower over your man. That said, there are definitely challenges, the most significant being finding clothes that fit. While every body type has …
Texture Test
One of the ways I put together an outfit is to combine different textures. Some fabrics don’t play as nicely together like linen and wool (though never say never). But I love a good brocade pocket square or tie with a corduroy blazer or suede bomber. Texture is one of my favorite ways to add interest …
Bomber and Blues
I have to say I’m pretty excited that bomber jackets have made a comeback! They’re the perfect mix of military and comfort. I’ve paired it with denim and brogue boots for the perfect balance of trends and basics. Photos by Amie Akers Bomber by H&M – similar here Denim Shirt by Arizona Jeans Co. – …
Punk Rock Presence
As a child of the 90’s the recent resurgence of 90’s fashion has me like – really? I now understand on another level what my mom was feeling when I used to go through her trunk of clothes from the 70’s looking for buried treasure. Since we are destined to repeat themes of former fashion …
